Hi Joaquim,

It's hard to know whether you got copy semantics right without knowing the types of _rangeBegin, _rangeEnd and the rest of Graph data members, but this has prompted me to suspect that maybe there's something wrong with the handler type Graph_h (which I assume is some sort of ref-counted reference to Graph, right?). Can you please test the following? In your //Test of the commit section, rather than reuse graph_h please use a different variable to do the after-commitChanges check:

//Test of the commit if (graph_h.commitChanges()) cout << "Commit was successful!\n"; else cout << "Commitretr was unsuccessful!\n"; // Debug

//Graph_h graph_h; //NodeIterator nodeIt; //Node_h node_h;

graphIt it = DynamicGraphs::_graphRep.find("COI:0351-123-4555"); Graph_h graph_h2 = Graph_h(it); // WE DON'T REUSE graph_h //propertystream_h propS; propS = graph_h2->lookupLocalProp("name"); p_h = propS.next(); cout << "DEBUG@main:right after the commit:_git " << p_h.value() <nodeIterator("Node:0351-123-4569"); if (!nodeIt) cout << "Node version was not found!"<

Does this make any difference?

Yes, it worked, if I instantiate another object (like graph_h2). After that I have done some more Debug to try to find the reason, but I still don't understand,because inside the constructor it finds the Nodes, when I use the same object (graph_h)... Inside the overloaded operator-> does not work anymore, even I am using the _localGraph in both stretch of codes. So if it was the assignment of the _localGraph, it should not work with the constructor also, isn't true? And the commitChanges, that I told before, it is for replacing this _localGraph in the repository of graphs graphIndex _graphRep; For better explanation, here it is the code: Remark: the Graph_h it will be using referencing count, but since I don't know how yet, it is not implemented. So the Graph_h I use as way of the user handle the Graph, so it has as members: - the iterator of the lookup for the Graph - _localGraph: it is where I can change the Graph, because in the index it is not possible, since their elements are constant - and bool to indicate the creation success /// Graph Handler: Wrapper for manipulating the Graph objects class Graph_h : virtual Handler { private: graphIt _git; Graph _localGraph; bool _createSuccess; public: /// Default Constructor Graph_h() : _createSuccess(false){} /// Constructor with Parameters: for creation of Graphs Graph_h (const pair &creation) : _git(creation.first), _createSuccess(creation.second){ _localGraph = _git->_graph; } ///////////////The below constructor it is where it works,//////////// ///////////////the retrieve of nodes with _localGraph///////////// /// Constructor with Parameters: for lookup of Graphs Graph_h (const graphIt &it) : _git(it), _createSuccess(false){ _localGraph = it->_graph; //#ifndef NDEBUG_DG //Graph_h graph_h; NodeIterator nodeIt; Node_h node_h; //graphIt it = DynamicGraphs::_graphRep.find("COI:0351-123-4555"); //Graph_h //graph_h = Graph_h(it); propertystream_h propS; property_h p_h; propS = _localGraph.lookupLocalProp("name"); p_h = propS.next(); cout << "DEBUG@Graph_hConstructor(it) " << p_h.value() <_graph; return *this; } bool commitChanges(); bool operator!(){ return !_createSuccess; } ///////////////The below operator-> it is where it does not works,////// ///////////////the retrieve of nodes with _localGraph////////////////// /// Operator-> overloading: allows access to graph members Graph* operator->() { //#ifndef NDEBUG_DG //Graph_h graph_h; NodeIterator nodeIt; Node_h node_h; //graphIt it = DynamicGraphs::_graphRep.find("COI:0351-123-4555"); //Graph_h //graph_h = Graph_h(it); propertystream_h propS; property_h p_h; propS = _localGraph.lookupLocalProp("name"); p_h = propS.next(); cout << "DEBUG@Graph::operator-> " << p_h.value() < the node were not found: Constructor Output and operator-> output: DEBUG@Graph_hConstructor(it) COI:0351-123-4555 Found it: Name: Timestamp: -1080916036 Found it: Name: Timestamp: -1080916036 DEBUG@Graph::operator-> COI:0351-123-4555 Node version was not found! Code in the main which generate that: graphIt it = DynamicGraphs::_graphRep.find("COI:0351-123-4555"); graph_h = Graph_h(it); propS = graph_h->lookupLocalProp("name"); As you asked before, Here are the type of the Graph: class Graph { private: /// This variables represent the range of time that one would like to retrieve from the API. time_t _rangeBegin, _rangeEnd; /// Represents the repository of nodes in a graph nodeIndex _nodeRep; /// Represents the Node's name repository in a graph (in order to not have redundant data) uniqueNameTable _nodeNameRep; /// Represents the Node's view with index in the timestamp (in order to filter the data) nodeTimestampView _nodeTimeStampView; /// Represents the properties of a graph propIndex _localPropRep; /// Repository for the properties of the global properties related to the graph; grobalProperties _globalPropRep; The main types here that I think it could be giving me problems it would be the ones related to the nodes, here are the definitions: typedef multi_index_container< nodeMap, indexed_by< hashed_non_unique< tag<nodeName>, key_from_key< BOOST_MULTI_INDEX_MEMBER(uniqueNodeNameStruct,const string,_name), BOOST_MULTI_INDEX_MEMBER(nodeMap, const uniqueNodeNameStruct *,_uniqueName) > >, ordered_non_unique< tag<nodeTimeStamp>,BOOST_MULTI_INDEX_MEMBER(nodeMap,time_t,_timestamp) >
