How to traverse graph in boost use BFS

问题:

I have problems getting to compile the BFS of a very simple graph. Whatever I do I got various compiler messages about unmatched method calls (I've tried boost::visitor and extending boost::default_bfs_visitor etc.)

#include <stdint.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp>
#include <boost/graph/breadth_first_search.hpp>

int main() {
  typedef boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS, boost::hash_setS, boost::undirectedS, uint32_t, uint32_t, boost::no_property> graph_t;
  graph_t graph(4);
  graph_t::vertex_descriptor a = boost::vertex(0, graph);
  graph_t::vertex_descriptor b = boost::vertex(1, graph);
  graph_t::vertex_descriptor c = boost::vertex(2, graph);
  graph_t::vertex_descriptor d = boost::vertex(3, graph);
  graph[a] = 0;
  graph[b] = 1;
  graph[c] = 2;
  graph[d] = 3;
  std::pair<graph_t::edge_descriptor, bool> result = boost::add_edge(a, b, 0, graph);
  result = boost::add_edge(a, c, 1, graph);
  result = boost::add_edge(c, b, 2, graph);
  class {
  public:
    void initialize_vertex(const graph_t::vertex_descriptor &s, graph_t &g) {
      std::cout << "Initialize: " << g[s] << std::endl;
    }
    void discover_vertex(const graph_t::vertex_descriptor &s, graph_t &g) {
      std::cout << "Discover: " << g[s] << std::endl;
    }
    void examine_vertex(const graph_t::vertex_descriptor &s, graph_t &g) {
      std::cout << "Examine vertex: " << g[s] << std::endl;
    }
    void examine_edge(const graph_t::edge_descriptor &e, graph_t &g) {
      std::cout << "Examine edge: " << g[e] << std::endl;
    }
    void tree_edge(const graph_t::edge_descriptor &e, graph_t &g) {
      std::cout << "Tree edge: " << g[e] << std::endl;
    }
    void non_tree_edge(const graph_t::edge_descriptor &e, graph_t &g) {
      std::cout << "Non-Tree edge: " << g[e] << std::endl;
    }
    void gray_target(const graph_t::edge_descriptor &e, graph_t &g) {
      std::cout << "Gray target: " << g[e] << std::endl;
    }
    void black_target(const graph_t::edge_descriptor &e, graph_t &g) {
      std::cout << "Black target: " << g[e] << std::endl;
    }
    void finish_vertex(const graph_t::vertex_descriptor &s, graph_t &g) {
      std::cout << "Finish vertex: " << g[s] << std::endl;
    }
  } bfs_visitor;
  boost::breadth_first_search(graph, a, bfs_visitor);
  return 0;
}

How to visit the graph using bfs_visitor?

PS. I've seen and compiled "How to create a C++ Boost undirected graph and traverse it in depth first search (DFS) order?" but it didn't helped.

回答1:

You can see here a list of the overloads of breadth_first_search. If you don't want to specify every one of the parameters you need to use the named-parameter version. It would look like this:

breadth_first_search(graph, a, boost::visitor(bfs_visitor));

This would work as is if you had used vecS as your VertexList storage in your graph definition or if you had constructed and initialized an internal vertex_index property map. Since you are using hash_setS you need to change the invocation to:

breath_first_search(graph, a, boost::visitor(bfs_visitor).vertex_index_map(my_index_map));

You are already using an index map in your uint32_t bundled property. You can use get(boost::vertex_bundle, graph) to access it.

There was also a problem with your visitor. You should derive it from boost::default_bfs_visitor and the graph_t parameter of your member functions needs to be const qualified.

Full code:

#include <stdint.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp>
#include <boost/graph/breadth_first_search.hpp>

typedef boost::adjacency_list<boost::vecS, boost::hash_setS, boost::undirectedS, uint32_t, uint32_t, boost::no_property> graph_t;


struct my_visitor : boost::default_bfs_visitor{

    void initialize_vertex(const graph_t::vertex_descriptor &s, const graph_t &g) const {
      std::cout << "Initialize: " << g[s] << std::endl;
    }
    void discover_vertex(const graph_t::vertex_descriptor &s, const graph_t &g) const {
      std::cout << "Discover: " << g[s] << std::endl;
    }
    void examine_vertex(const graph_t::vertex_descriptor &s, const graph_t &g) const {
      std::cout << "Examine vertex: " << g[s] << std::endl;
    }
    void examine_edge(const graph_t::edge_descriptor &e, const graph_t &g) const {
      std::cout << "Examine edge: " << g[e] << std::endl;
    }
    void tree_edge(const graph_t::edge_descriptor &e, const graph_t &g) const {
      std::cout << "Tree edge: " << g[e] << std::endl;
    }
    void non_tree_edge(const graph_t::edge_descriptor &e, const graph_t &g) const {
      std::cout << "Non-Tree edge: " << g[e] << std::endl;
    }
    void gray_target(const graph_t::edge_descriptor &e, const graph_t &g) const {
      std::cout << "Gray target: " << g[e] << std::endl;
    }
    void black_target(const graph_t::edge_descriptor &e, const graph_t &g) const {
      std::cout << "Black target: " << g[e] << std::endl;
    }
    void finish_vertex(const graph_t::vertex_descriptor &s, const graph_t &g) const {
      std::cout << "Finish vertex: " << g[s] << std::endl;
    }
  };

int main() {
  graph_t graph(4);
  graph_t::vertex_descriptor a = boost::vertex(0, graph);
  graph_t::vertex_descriptor b = boost::vertex(1, graph);
  graph_t::vertex_descriptor c = boost::vertex(2, graph);
  graph_t::vertex_descriptor d = boost::vertex(3, graph);
  graph[a] = 0;
  graph[b] = 1;
  graph[c] = 2;
  graph[d] = 3;
  std::pair<graph_t::edge_descriptor, bool> result = boost::add_edge(a, b, 0, graph);
  result = boost::add_edge(a, c, 1, graph);
  result = boost::add_edge(c, b, 2, graph);

  my_visitor vis;

  breadth_first_search(graph, a, boost::visitor(vis).vertex_index_map(get(boost::vertex_bundle,graph)));
  return 0;
} 

回答2:

I faced the same problem, but compared to the answer provided by user1252091 my vertex type is a struct that doesn't include an integer that can be used to create a vertex_index_map, therefore the line

breadth_first_search(graph, a, boost::visitor(vis).vertex_index_map(get(boost::vertex_bundle,graph)));

wouldn't work in my case. Eventually I figured out how to create an external vertex_index_map (thanks also to this answer) and pass it to the breadth_first_search function. Here is a working example in case it helps others:

{
public:
    typedef typename boost::graph_traits<Graph>::vertex_descriptor VertexDescriptor;
    typedef typename boost::graph_traits<Graph>::edge_descriptor   EdgeDescriptor;

    BfsVisitor(std::vector<VertexDescriptor>& nodesVisited)
    : m_nodesVisited(nodesVisited){}

    void tree_edge(EdgeDescriptor e, const Graph& g) const
    {
        VertexDescriptor u = source(e, g);
        VertexDescriptor v = target(e, g);
        m_nodesVisited.push_back(v);
    }
