Hi, I'm using the Boost Graph library to construct a directed graph: typedef boost::directed_graph<BasicBlock> Graph; The vertex class, "BasicBlock", is not my own; it comes from the LLVM project. Unfortunately, the declaration above causes a slew of compiler errors (see below) that appear to be related to BasicBlock's copy constructor. Sure enough, I checked BasicBlock.h, and its copy constructor is declared private and is not even implemented. There appears to be some sort of design issue that prevents this class from having a copy constructor. Is there some workaround for this on the Boost Graph side, or must vertex classes always have a copy constructor?
