boost/regex.hpp fails to compile with gcc 4.6, giving the following errors:
In file included from /lib/boost/boost/regex/v4/perl_matcher.hpp:578:0,

from /lib/boost/boost/regex.hpp:31,
from test.cpp:1:

It compiles fine with gcc 4.5.
Is this an issue with boost or gcc? Should I report it as a bug?
~~~~~~~~~
I'm afraid I don't understand why it's giving that error at all, 4.6 isn't a
released compiler yet right?
Anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks, John.
