adding an external property to include index for vertix in graph (boost)

Question

I'm trying to use an associative_property_map to include index for vertices, but I get the following error with the following simple code, what is the problem ?

#include <boost/graph/iteration_macros.hpp>
#include <boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp>

using namespace std;
using namespace boost;

struct NodeData
{
    int label;
};

struct EdgeData
{
    int age;
};

typedef map<vecS, size_t> IndexMap;
IndexMap mapIndex;
associative_property_map<IndexMap> propmapIndex(mapIndex);

typedef adjacency_list<setS, setS, undirectedS, NodeData, EdgeData> Graph;
typedef Graph::vertex_descriptor NodeID;
typedef Graph::edge_descriptor EdgeID;

int main()
{
    Graph g;

    NodeID n0 = add_vertex(g); g[n0].label = -1;
    NodeID n1 = add_vertex(g); g[n1].label = -1;

    EdgeID edge; bool ok;
    tie(edge, ok) = boost::add_edge(n0, n1, g);
    if (ok) g[edge].age = 10;

    int i=0;
    BGL_FORALL_VERTICES(v, g, Graph)
    {
        put(propmapIndex, v, i++);
    }

    return 0;
}

Errors:

The vertex descriptor must be specified to IndexMap, so it's map<NodeID, size_t> and not map<vecS, size_t> :

<...>
typedef Graph::vertex_descriptor NodeID;

typedef map<NodeID, size_t> IndexMap;
IndexMap mapIndex;
associative_property_map<IndexMap> propmapIndex(mapIndex);
<...>

// indexing all vertices
int i=0;
BGL_FORALL_VERTICES(v, g, Graph)
{
   put(propmapIndex, v, i++);
}
