Re: [Boost-users] regex_search: Third patch

Great, thanks. I got your second email, but even the previous buggy patch was enough to let me make progress. I'll wait with the new patch until I hear that you're happy with it. If this is going to be a big job and a problem, it may be worth considering if what I'm asking for isnt something outside of the concept of a bidirectional iterator or whether boost::regex isnt asking for more than that. I think the original code is relatively fine as long as the operator++ doesnt have to do a lot of work or dereference the iterators. The iterator I'm using has the property that I dont know the distance to the end or how to answer the question iter == end without dereferencing(reading) the whole input. David
