[Lemon-devel] LEMON for Visual Studio 2010

Hi,

Thanks for reporting this issue.

Yes, it should be.

I could reproduce it with VS2008, too, and it is very strange. The
target adaptor_test is an executable for testing the graph adaptors. It
compiles well, but crashes when it is executed in Release mode (VS
only). It might be a problem in LEMON, but I can also imagine that it is
compiler bug in VS (graph adaptors use template metaprogramming
heavily).

At least, adaptor_test.cc compiles and runs well both with various
versions of GCC and with the Intel compiler 2011.3.174. I also tested
the executable with valgrind and it doesn't detect any memory usage
issue.

Anyway, I'll try to investigate the issue. Alas I'm not very familiar
with VS. Can anyone provide me some hints how to debug in Release mode
in VS?

The best I can suggest right now to ignore this issue and hope you will
not experience the same with your own code.

There is no fixed release date. The plan is the finish the bipartite
graph implementation before the release.

But you can pretty safely use the development version in the main hg
repository till then. It is completely backward compatible with version
1.2.3.
