[Boost-users] How to use graph properties

Subject: [Boost-users] How to use graph properties

Dear list,

I need to keep track of two special vertices in my graph, So
I thought to attach two vertex_descriptor as graph
properties so have easy access any moment. Properties work
fine for edges or vertices, but I cannot make them work for
the graph.

In the bottom is the C++ code. The graph has the two properties,
now how I cat get and put them? This code does not work and
the error messages are impossible to read for me.
Otherwise that is the way to keep graph-wise properties?

The code compiles removing the two puts, so I assume the
error is there.

Yours sincerely,
Paolo

#include <boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp>

namespace boost {
    enum graph_source_t { graph_source = 100 };
    BOOST_INSTALL_PROPERTY (graph, source);

    enum graph_destination_t { graph_destination = 101 };
    BOOST_INSTALL_PROPERTY (graph, destination);
}

typedef size_t graph_vertex;

typedef boost::adjacency_list <
    boost::vecS,
    boost::vecS,
    boost::undirectedS,
    boost::no_property,
    boost::no_property,
    boost::property < boost::graph_source_t, graph_vertex,
        boost::property < boost::graph_destination_t, graph_vertex,
        boost::no_property>>>
    graph_t;

static_assert(std::is_same<graph_vertex,
boost::graph_traits<graph_t>::vertex_descriptor>::value, "Check out
the vertex descriptor type!");

int main() {
    using namespace boost;

    graph_t g;
    add_edge(0, 1, g);

    put(graph_destination, g,  0);
    put(graph_source, g,  1);
}
