## Detailed Description

### template<typename GR, typename VS, typename TR>
class lemon::BfsVisit< GR, VS, TR >

This class provides an efficient implementation of the BFS algorithm with visitor interface.

The BfsVisit class provides an alternative interface to the Bfs class. It works with callback mechanism, the BfsVisit object calls the member functions of the `Visitor` class on every BFS event.

This interface of the BFS algorithm should be used in special cases when extra actions have to be performed in connection with certain events of the BFS algorithm. Otherwise consider to use Bfs or bfs() instead.

Template Parameters

  GR | The type of the digraph the algorithm runs on. The default type is ListDigraph. The value of GR is not used directly by BfsVisit, it is only passed to BfsVisitDefaultTraits.
  VS | The Visitor type that is used by the algorithm. BfsVisitor<GR> is an empty visitor, which does not observe the BFS events. If you want to observe the BFS events, you should implement your own visitor class.
  TR | The traits class that defines various types used by the algorithm. By default, it is BfsVisitDefaultTraits<GR>. In most cases, this parameter should not be set directly, consider to use the named template parameters instead.

Execution Control
The simplest way to execute the BFS algorithm is to use one of the member functions called run(). If you need better control on the execution, you have to call init() first, then you can add several source nodes with addSource(). Finally the actual path computation can be performed with one of the start() functions.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

BfsVisit | ( | const Digraph & | digraph,
|  | Visitor & | visitor
| ) |  |
| inline

Constructor.

Parameters

  digraph | The digraph the algorithm runs on.
  visitor | The visitor object of the algorithm.

## Member Function Documentation

BfsVisit& reachedMap | ( | ReachedMap & | m | ) |
| inline

Sets the map that indicates which nodes are reached. If you don't use this function before calling run() or init(), an instance will be allocated automatically. The destructor deallocates this automatically allocated map, of course.

Returns
  `(*this)`

void init | ( |  | ) |
| inline

Initializes the internal data structures.

void addSource | ( | Node | s | ) |
| inline

Adds a new source node to the set of nodes to be processed.

Node processNextNode | ( |  | ) |
| inline

Processes the next node.

Returns
  The processed node.

Precondition
  The queue must not be empty.

Node processNextNode | ( | Node | target,
|  | bool & | reach
| ) |  |
| inline

Processes the next node and checks if the given target node is reached. If the target node is reachable from the processed node, then the `reach` parameter will be set to `true`.

Parameters

  target | The target node.

Return values

  reach | Indicates if the target node is reached. It should be initially `false`.

Returns
  The processed node.

Precondition
  The queue must not be empty.

Node processNextNode | ( | const NM & | nm,
|  | Node & | rnode
| ) |  |
| inline

Processes the next node and checks if at least one of reached nodes has `true` value in the `nm` node map. If one node with `true` value is reachable from the processed node, then the `rnode` parameter will be set to the first of such nodes.

Parameters

  nm | A `bool` (or convertible) node map that indicates the possible targets.

Return values

  rnode | The reached target node. It should be initially `INVALID`.

Returns
  The processed node.

Precondition
  The queue must not be empty.

Node nextNode | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Returns the next node to be processed or `INVALID` if the queue is empty.

bool emptyQueue | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Returns `false` if there are nodes to be processed in the queue.

int queueSize | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Returns the number of the nodes to be processed in the queue.

void start | ( |  | ) |
| inline

Executes the algorithm.

This method runs the BFS algorithm from the root node(s) in order to compute the shortest path to each node.

The algorithm computes

- the shortest path tree (forest),
- the distance of each node from the root(s).

Precondition
  init() must be called and at least one root node should be added with addSource() before using this function.

Note
  `b.start()` is just a shortcut of the following code.
  * while ( !b.emptyQueue() ) {
  * b.processNextNode();
  * }
  *

void start | ( | Node | t | ) |
| inline

Executes the algorithm until the given target node is reached.

This method runs the BFS algorithm from the root node(s) in order to compute the shortest path to `t`.

The algorithm computes

- the shortest path to `t`,
- the distance of `t` from the root(s).

Precondition
  init() must be called and at least one root node should be added with addSource() before using this function.

Note
  `b.start(t)` is just a shortcut of the following code.
  * bool reach = false;
  * while ( !b.emptyQueue() && !reach ) {
  * b.processNextNode(t, reach);
  * }
  *

Node start | ( | const NM & | nm | ) |
| inline

Executes the algorithm until a condition is met.

This method runs the BFS algorithm from the root node(s) in order to compute the shortest path to a node `v` with `nm[v]` true, if such a node can be found.

Parameters

  nm | must be a bool (or convertible) node map. The algorithm will stop when it reaches a node `v` with `nm[v]` true.

Returns
  The reached node `v` with `nm[v]` true or `INVALID` if no such node was found.

Precondition
  init() must be called and at least one root node should be added with addSource() before using this function.

Note
  `b.start(nm)` is just a shortcut of the following code.
  * Node rnode = INVALID;
  * while ( !b.emptyQueue() && rnode == INVALID ) {
  * b.processNextNode(nm, rnode);
  * }
  * return rnode;
  *

void run | ( | Node | s | ) |
| inline

This method runs the BFS algorithm from node `s` in order to compute the shortest path to each node.

The algorithm computes

- the shortest path tree,
- the distance of each node from the root.

Note
  `b.run(s)` is just a shortcut of the following code.
  * b.init();
  * b.addSource(s);
  * b.start();
  *

bool run | ( | Node | s,
|  | Node | t
| ) |  |
| inline

This method runs the BFS algorithm from node `s` in order to compute the shortest path to node `t` (it stops searching when `t` is processed).

Returns
  `true` if `t` is reachable form `s`.

Note
  Apart from the return value, `b.run(s,t)` is just a shortcut of the following code.
  * b.init();
  * b.addSource(s);
  * b.start(t);
  *

void run | ( |  | ) |
| inline

This method runs the BFS algorithm in order to visit all nodes in the digraph.

Note
  `b.run(s)` is just a shortcut of the following code.
  * b.init();
  * for (NodeIt n(gr); n != INVALID; ++n) {
  * if (!b.reached(n)) {
  * b.addSource(n);
  * b.start();
  * }
  * }
  *

bool reached | ( | Node | v | ) | const
| inline

Returns `true` if `v` is reached from the root(s).

Precondition
  Either run() or init() must be called before using this function.
