Aren't the options you want just the same as the POSIX-Basic syntax
Yes, but because they could previously be individually selected, I gave the
users of my application the option of setting bk_parens and/or bk_braces,
separately from choosing POSIX or Perl semantics. It seems that syntax and
semantics are no longer orthogonal. I don't have strong feelings about
that, but just wanted to check that it was intentional, before hacking the
application.

It states in history.html for regex 1.33.0 that "some of the more esoteric options have now been removed, so there is the possibility that existing code may fail to compile: however equivalent functionality should still be available". I suppose bk_parens and bk_braces could be considered esoteric, but I cannot find any equivalent functionality. Is that intentional?
Apologies for the slow response I missed the first one.
Aren't the options you want just the same as the POSIX-Basic syntax:
boost::regex e("\\(abc\\)\\{1,2\\}", boost::regex::basic);
See file:///c:/data/boost/develop/boost/libs/regex/doc/syntax_basic.html
For the full syntax and the variations on it (like emacs style regexes).
John.
