Hi there, I am using in-place replacement with replace_all_regex

replace_all_regex( source, boost::regex("(%f)"), "(?1 xxx)", format_all);

where source is of type std::string. But for some reason, I need to perform replacement on a C-string (char *), is replace_all_regex safe to do so? Will replace_all_regex handle memory issue for us?

You cannot do this, since char* is not a sequence. In other words, it cannot be safely constructed. Regards, Pavol
