This is the same issue as variant actually -- the boost::get thing. The info object that is causing trouble in char.hpp contains a variant that it's trying to get a field from. It's too bad that a later library (variant) reused a name from an earlier one (graph), but it's probably too late to do anything about either one.
This seems quite critical to me. As the times goes, more and more boost libraries might use variant and therefore become incompatible with Boost.Graph. Wouldn't it be better to break backward compatibility for a given release and solve this issue ? The backward compatibility is already broken : our codebase compiles fine in Boost 1.39 and doesn't in Boost 1.41 because of this issue. -- Maxime
