[Boost-users] [BGL] Problem implementing dijkstra

From: Thomas Gelzhaeuser (gelzhaeuser_at_[hidden])
Date: 2006-02-07 01:24:40

Hello everyone.

I've got a small problem when trying to use the dijkstra-shortest-path
algorithm. The error reported by the compiler is:
 'void put<void*,void*>(T *,ptrdiff_t,const V &)' : cannot convert
parameter 2 from 'void *' to 'ptrdiff_t'
Can anyone give me a hint what I am missing?

Thanks.

Thomas.

I made up a small example with the compiler error I receive (VS2005)

int main(int argc, char* argv[])

   PespGraph_t g;

   Pesp_Vertex v1, v2;
   v1 = boost::add_vertex(g);
   boost::put(boost::vertex_name, g, v1, "Vertex 1");
   boost::put(boost::vertex_index, g, v1, 1);

   v2 = boost::add_vertex(g);
   boost::put(boost::vertex_name, g, v2, "Vertex 2");
   boost::put(boost::vertex_index, g, v2, 2);

   Pesp_Edge e;
   bool inserted;
   tie(e,inserted) = boost::add_edge(v1, v2, g);
   boost::put(boost::edge_weight, g, e, 10);

   std::vector<Pesp_Vertex> pred(boost::num_vertices(g));
   std::vector<int> dist(boost::num_vertices(g));

   dijkstra_shortest_paths(g, v1, boost::predecessor_map(&pred[0]));

   return 0;
