Re: [boost] [graph] Why is there no boost::multimapS?

I have a case where I'd like to create an adjacency_list whose edge container is a multimap. When I look through the boost files, I find boost::mapS and boost::multisetS so I don't see any obvious reason why there is no boost::multimapS.

The existence of mapS is actually a bit strange, IMHO, because there isn't really a key type to use. Glancing at the source, it seems that mapS does the same thing as setS when it is used with adjacency_list :) You should probably use multisetS for your edge list, and we should probably deprecate/remove mapS and hash_mapS in the library.
