Known Problems and Workarounds

This is a list of known problems compiling the BGL for different compilers and versions.

1. The subgraph adaptor has several known problems:
   • Each instance of subgraph has its own copy of internal vertex and edge properties. Only at the root subgraph are the properties valid.
   • Edge and vertex removal functions are unimplemented.
   • The graph is required to have vertex descriptors of integral type (that are the same as the vertex index). Practically speaking, that means subgraph only applies to adjacency lists with VertexListS = vecS.
2. The EdgeListS parameter to the adjacency list is essentially fixed to listS: other selectors are unlikely to work.
3. Using a GraphProperty with adjacency_list may cause a VC++ internal compiler error.
4. Using get(property, graph, edge) may cause a VC++ internal compiler error.
5. "using boost::tie;" may cause VC++ internal compiler error.
