My test graphs are graphs of wire frames of polyhedra. (Vertices of a polyhedron are the vertices of the graph, edges of the polyhedron are the edges of the graph.) The test graphs are generated from simple ""faceted cylinders"", i.e. the top and the bottom of the polyhedron (a slab/column) are polygons with the same number of sides (3,4,5...) and the same number of facets between the top and the bottom polygons. So if the number of sides is 3 then the number of vertices is 6 and the number of edges is 9 (6,9), if the number of sides is 4 then the number of vertices/edges is (8,12), for a polyhedron with 'n' number of sides the number of vertices/edges are (2n,3n). With large number of sides the isomorphism routine between two identical graphs fails with what is in the debugger looks like an infinite recursion. The number of sides where it fails varies from platform/architecture and compiler. For example on Windows with MSVC8 the first failure happens when the number of sides is 58 in 64bit/debug 138 in 64bit/optimize 140 in 32bit/debug and at 495 in 32bit/optimize. (Results with Intel compiler 11.1 are even poorer, it crashes with smaller sizes already.) On RHEL4 (32bit/gcc4.1.2) it crashed when the number of sides reached 4096, on RHEL5 (64bit/gcc4.1.2) it crashed at 8192 (didn't attempt to find the smallest number of sides where it still succeeds for that configuration). I am attaching the Makefile-s that I am using on Windows and Linux, the problem is also reproducible with a standard Visual Studio project, in addition to the default setup only the include path to boost needs to be set. Any help/hint is appreciated. Thank you." Bugs closed To Be Determined graph Boost 1.48.0 Problem fixed
