Re: [Boost-users] Using boost::regex 1.31.0 on vc6

I'm trying to use boost::regex 1.31.0 (the v4 source code) on MSVC++6 (sp5), but whenever I compile a project using the new code I get an internal compiler error in perl_matcher_common.hpp and no object is built.

I want to use the new v4 code (the older v3 code works, and I'll use that if I have to) but this file is quite important... is there something I can do, or does it not work with VC6?

It certainly should, that's a compiler I test with regularly. However there is a known problem with some of the #pragma's when used with VC6, and certain types of precompiled headers - you'll find some guidance here: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=107586&aid=891544&group_id=7586.
