Recording predecessors in a DFS search in an undirected graph

Question

I was trying to use the code from this thread: Boost DFS back_edge, to record the cycles in an undirected graph. To do this I need to store the predecessors for eac

Here's a quick post, I'll come back with some notes later

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/config.hpp>
#include <boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp>
#include <boost/graph/depth_first_search.hpp>

namespace {
    using namespace boost;

    typedef adjacency_list<vecS, vecS, undirectedS, no_property, property<edge_weight_t, int> > Graph;
    typedef graph_traits<Graph>::edge_descriptor Edge;
    typedef std::set<Edge> EdgeSet;
}

struct MyVisitor : default_dfs_visitor {
    MyVisitor(EdgeSet& tree_edges) : tree_edges(tree_edges) {}

    void tree_edge(Edge e, const Graph& g) const {
        std::cerr << "tree_edge " << e << std::endl;
        tree_edges.insert(e);
    }
    void back_edge(Edge e, const Graph& g) const {
        if (tree_edges.find(e) == tree_edges.end())
            std::cerr << "back_edge " << e << std::endl;
    }

  private: 
    EdgeSet& tree_edges;
};

int main() {
    Graph g;
    add_edge(0, 1, g);
    add_edge(0, 2, g);

    std::set<Edge> tree_edges;
    MyVisitor vis(tree_edges);


    std::vector<Graph::vertex_descriptor> pred(num_vertices(g), Graph::null_vertex());

    depth_first_search(g, visitor(boost::make_dfs_visitor(
            boost::record_predecessors(pred.data(), boost::on_back_edge{})
        )));

    for (auto v : make_iterator_range(vertices(g))) {
        std::cout << "Predecessor for " << v << " is " << pred.at(v) << "\n";
    }
}

Prints

Predecessor for 0 is 2
Predecessor for 1 is 18446744073709551615
Predecessor for 2 is 18446744073709551615
