4737,Documentation for Prim MST concerning distance_map is wrong,nicoe@…,Andrew Sutton,"In the documentation for prim_minimum_spanning_tree, you can read at distance_map:

 The shortest path weight from the source vertex s to each vertex in the graph g is recorded in this property map. The shortest path weight is the sum of the edge weights along the shortest path.

I would say this is wrong. I claim that the prim_minimum_spanning_tree stores original edgeweights in the distance map. Precisely, an entry i in the distance map corresponds to the edgeweight of the edge from vertex i to its predecessor in the MST.

Example:
Given a undirected graph on the vertex set {0,1,2} with edges (0,1,2), (0,2,3), (1,2,4) (to be read as vertex, vertex, weight).
The output of prim MST called with parameters root_vertex(1) concerning the distance map is (2,0,3).
According to the documentation it schould be (2,0,5).
