/*
  
  This examples shows how to use the breadth_first_search() GGCL
  algorithm, specifically the 3 argument variant of bfs that assumes
  the graph has a color property (property) stored internally.

  Two pre-defined visitors are used to record the distance of each
  vertex from the source vertex, and also to record the parent of each
  vertex. Any number of visitors can be layered and passed to a GGCL
  algorithm.

  The call to vertices(G) returns an STL-compatible container which
  contains all of the vertices in the graph.  In this example we use
  the vertices container in the STL for_each() function.

  Sample Output:

  0 --> 2 
  1 --> 1 3 4 
  2 --> 1 3 4 
  3 --> 1 4 
  4 --> 0 1 
  0 --> 2 
  1 --> 1 3 4 
  2 --> 1 3 4 
  3 --> 1 4 
  4 --> 0 1 
  distances: 0 2 1 2 2 
  parent[0] = 0
  parent[1] = 2
  parent[2] = 0
  parent[3] = 2
  parent[4] = 2
