[Boost-users] [graph] edge index in properties

hello, i tried to implement something like gps with usage of bgl, but i made a mistake - i am storing graph::traits<>::vertex_desctriptor and graph_traits<>::edge_descritor in vertex/edge properties as a shortcut between data and the graph. this brings a heavy dependency of the property data on the chosen graph and i am wondering how to assign some numeric vertex/edge index into these properties (because edge_descriptor is in fact pair of vertices etc). my idea is to have adjacency list that is converted into compressed sparse row graph afterwards. btw: do you use pointers in your V/E properties? i tried to and now i quite regret it because of the serialization issues. many thanks for your attention, mojmir
