Well, it turns out that I made a small mistake:

//Class template of a vertex/edge property writer
template < typename Graph >
class property_writer {
public:
property_writer(Graph _g) : g(_g) {}

template <typename Vertex_or_Edge>
void operator()(std::ostream& out, const Vertex_or_Edge& v) {
    out << "[label=\""
        << g[v].toString()
        << "\"]";
}
private:
Graph& g;
};

Changing the argument of property_writer from "Graph _g" to be "Graph& _g" solves this.

I started the property writer from the example in BGL documenation: boost_1_32_0/libs/graph/doc/write-graphviz.html, so I suggest changing this doc to be more efficient.

Subject: [Boost-users] Program runs OK in Cygwin,but got "Segment Fault" in Linux

Hi,

The program is really simple, it creates a graph and output to a .dot file using the graphviz library in the BGL. It runs well in Cygwin, but in Linux, it got a segment fault when outputing the vertex id.

Can you C++ gurus see what is going on? Thanks!
