I've removed the using namespace boost from the astar graph cities example. (I prefer to define namespaces explicitly). //using namespace boost; I've added boost:: to all the type names and it all compiles fine. However, some functions compile without the namespace. ie the following line: WeightMap weightmap = get(boost::edge_weight, g); Can someone please explain why I dont need a boost:: infront of the get?

This is due to Argument Dependent Lookup, or ADL. Since the types of 'g' and 'boost::edge_weight' live in the namespace 'boost', the unqualified call to 'get' will look for the name 'get' within namespace 'boost'. There's some more information about ADL here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_dependent_name_lookup - Doug
Hi bringiton, there is a nice Wikipedia article about 'argument dependent name lookup' AKA 'Koenig-lookup': http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_dependent_name_lookup I think it generally is a very good idea *not* to use 'using namespace xyz' in code examples, as long as the (confusing) lookup mechanisms are not the subject of the example.

Hi,
I have a problem with Mutable queue.
I'm trying to store edge descriptors there, but sometimes (!) my program
fails with segmentation fault at mutable_queue.hpp:94 when I'm trying to
push an edge_descriptor into the queue.
There is a way how I declare and create the queue (entire code is to
long to include):
typedef typename property_traits<CostMap>::value_type C;
typedef indirect_cmp
