Why should we use `get` instead of `boost::get`? about boost_graph_cookbook_1 HOT 3 CLOSED

I found it, the get and put are defined in global namespace in <boost/property_map/property_map.hpp>. And it explained why ADL does not work here.

  // These need to go in global namespace because Koenig
  // lookup does not apply to T*.

  // V must be convertible to T
  template <class T, class V>
  inline void put(T* pa, std::ptrdiff_t k, const V& val) { pa[k] = val;  }

  template <class T>
  inline const T& get(const T* pa, std::ptrdiff_t k) { return pa[k]; }

I will leave it open for a day in case other people are interested.

Actually, I might be wrong. The get and put signature doesn't look quite similar to the signatures in boost graph library, get(boost::vertex_name, g).

Well spotted! You can assume that I try hard to be consistent and I would not omit boost:: without reason.

I suggest to close this Issue, others can find it by searching the GitHub from now. Agree? If yes, please close 👍
