Hi Matthew, just to be thorough: Visibility issues can also occur with MS Visual C++. It is not a "speciality" of gcc, although the command line flags might be different, of course (I wouldn't know about that). If you're compiling with visibility=hidden (or the MS equivalent), then I would expect the problem you described (not being able to catch an exception is exactly what happened to me). Not running into exceptions is also a good solution, though :-) Regards, Roland Matthew LaCrosse wrote:
Thank you Roland. I haven't tried compiling with gcc yet. I'm using MS Visual C++ 9.0.
What I ended up doing was just writing a filter to block the invalid expression that was causing the crash.

Hi,
I had a similar problem a few weeks ago with catching an exception from boost::threads. It had to do with symbol visibility (I am using the gcc compiler flag -fvisibility=hidden), see
http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2008/09/40268.php (problem solved/circumvented) http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2008/09/40270.php (additional insight)
I have also seen a trac ticket regarding this issue for many parts of boost, including regex: http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2114
Regards,
Roland

Yes, I tried that.

It's not catching the exception in the C++ code. Could this just having something do with using the std::string class for the regex inputs?
I've no idea why a C++ exception shouldn't be caught in C++ code. Did you try catch(...) to test if this works at least?
