    This software library implements the maxflow algorithm
    described in

        "An Experimental Comparison of Min-Cut/Max-Flow Algorithms for Energy Minimization in Vision."
        Yuri Boykov and Vladimir Kolmogorov.
        In IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (PAMI), 
        September 2004

    This algorithm was developed by Yuri Boykov and Vladimir Kolmogorov
    at Siemens Corporate Research. To make it available for public use,
    it was later reimplemented by Vladimir Kolmogorov based on open publications.

    If you use this software for research purposes, you should cite
    the aforementioned paper in any resulting publication.

    REUSING TREES:

    Starting with version 3.0, there is a also an option of reusing search
    trees from one maxflow computation to the next, as described in

        "Efficiently Solving Dynamic Markov Random Fields Using Graph Cuts."
        Pushmeet Kohli and Philip H.S. Torr
        International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV), 2005

    If you use this option, you should cite
    the aforementioned paper in any resulting publication.

private:
    struct node;
    struct arc;

public:

    // 1. Reallocating graph. //

    // Removes all nodes and edges. 
    // After that functions add_node() and add_edge() must be called again. 
    //
    // Advantage compared to deleting Graph and allocating it again:
    // no calls to delete/new (which could be quite slow).
    //
    // If the graph structure stays the same, then an alternative
    // is to go through all nodes/edges and set new residual capacities
    // (see functions below).
    void reset();

    // 2. Functions for getting pointers to arcs and for reading graph structure. //
    //    NOTE: adding new arcs may invalidate these pointers (if reallocation    //
    //    happens). So it's best not to add arcs while reading graph structure.   //

    // The following two functions return arcs in the same order that they
    // were added to the graph. NOTE: for each call add_edge(i,j,cap,cap_rev)
    // the first arc returned will be i->j, and the second j->i.
    // If there are no more arcs, then the function can still be called, but
    // the returned arc_id is undetermined.
    typedef arc* arc_id;
    arc_id get_first_arc();

    // other functions for reading graph structure

    int get_arc_num() { return (int)(arc_last - arcs); }
    void get_arc_ends(arc_id a, node_id& i, node_id& j); // returns i,j to that a = i->j

    // 3. Functions for reading residual capacities. //

    // returns residual capacity of SOURCE->i minus residual capacity of i->SINK
    tcaptype get_trcap(node_id i); 
    // returns residual capacity of arc a
    captype get_rcap(arc* a);

    // 4. Functions for setting residual capacities.               //
    //    NOTE: If these functions are used, the value of the flow //
    //    returned by maxflow() will not be valid!                 //

    void set_trcap(node_id i, tcaptype trcap); 
    void set_rcap(arc* a, captype rcap);

    // 5. Functions related to reusing trees & list of changed nodes. //

    // If flag reuse_trees is true while calling maxflow(), then search trees
    // are reused from previous maxflow computation. 
    // In this case before calling maxflow() the user must
    // specify which parts of the graph have changed by calling mark_node():
    //   add_tweights(i),set_trcap(i)    => call mark_node(i)
    //   add_edge(i,j),set_rcap(a)       => call mark_node(i); mark_node(j)
    //
    // This option makes sense only if a small part of the graph is changed.
    // The initialization procedure goes only through marked nodes then.
    // 
    // mark_node(i) can either be called before or after graph modification.
    // Can be called more than once per node, but calls after the first one
    // do not have any effect.
    // 
    // NOTE: 
    //   - This option cannot be used in the first call to maxflow().
    //   - It is not necessary to call mark_node() if the change is ``not essential'',
    //     i.e. sign(trcap) is preserved for a node and zero/nonzero status is preserved for an arc.
    //   - To check that you marked all necessary nodes, you can call maxflow(false) after calling maxflow(true).
    //     If everything is correct, the two calls must return the same value of flow. (Useful for debugging).
    void mark_node(node_id i);

    // If changed_list is not NULL while calling maxflow(), then the algorithm
    // keeps a list of nodes which could potentially have changed their segmentation label.
    // Nodes which are not in the list are guaranteed to keep their old segmentation label (SOURCE or SINK).
    // Example usage:
    //
    //      typedef Graph<int,int,int> G;
    //      G* g = new Graph(nodeNum, edgeNum);
    //      Block<G::node_id>* changed_list = new Block<G::node_id>(128);
    //
    //      ... // add nodes and edges
    //
    //      g->maxflow(); // first call should be without arguments
    //      for (int iter=0; iter<10; iter++)
    //      {
    //          ... // change graph, call mark_node() accordingly
    //
    //          g->maxflow(true, changed_list);
    //          G::node_id* ptr;
    //          for (ptr=changed_list->ScanFirst(); ptr; ptr=changed_list->ScanNext())
    //          {
    //              G::node_id i = *ptr; assert(i>=0 && i<nodeNum);
    //              g->remove_from_changed_list(i);
    //              // do something with node i...
    //              if (g->what_segment(i) == G::SOURCE) { ... }
    //          }
    //          changed_list->Reset();
    //      }
    //      delete changed_list;
    //      
    // NOTE:
    //  - If changed_list option is used, then reuse_trees must be used as well.
    //  - In the example above, the user may omit calls g->remove_from_changed_list(i) and changed_list->Reset() in a given iteration.
    //    Then during the next call to maxflow(true, &changed_list) new nodes will be added to changed_list.
    //  - If the next call to maxflow() does not use option reuse_trees, then calling remove_from_changed_list()
    //    is not necessary. ("changed_list->Reset()" or "delete changed_list" should still be called, though).
    void remove_from_changed_list(node_id i)

        assert(i>=0 && i<node_num && nodes[i].is_in_changed_list);
