I got the string (char*s), which is too big (>10M), from an external library, it's too slow to convert the raw string to std::string before it is handled by replace_all_regex

Here's your fundamental problem: regex does not do in-place search and replace. It is boost::algorithm::replace_all_regex, not boost:regex_replace

It doesn't change the argument though. In place search and replace to a fixed size buffer is simply asking for trouble. John.
