Re: [Caml-list] changing labels on ocamlgraph edges

Hello,

No it is not :-). You just have to define yourself a mutable label. Here
is an example.

==========
open Graph

module G = 
  Imperative.Digraph.ConcreteLabeled
    (struct include String let equal = (=) let hash = Hashtbl.hash end)
    (struct 
       type t = int ref 
       let default = ref 0 
       let compare = Pervasives.compare
     end)

let g = G.create ()

let print_edge v1 v2 = 
  Format.printf "edge = %d@." !(G.E.label (G.find_edge g v1 v2))

let e = G.E.create "foo" (ref 1) "bar"
let () = 
  G.add_edge_e g e;
  print_edge "foo" "bar";
  G.E.label e := 2;
  print_edge "foo" "bar"

Hope this helps,
