I found this solution with much hair-pulling, doc-reading, and, eventually, header file comparing! :^) -----Original Message----- From: Hofi [mailto:yg-boost-users@m.gmane.org] Sent: Tuesday, 2 July 2002 5:41 PM To: boost-users@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Boost-Users] Re: Regex boost_1_28_0 incorrect build / run-time problem "Eric Reaburn" wrote in message news:4473AF479EE7D41198510004AC1D1C738707EC@GRACE...

This looks like a similar problem I had. I'm also using C++ Builder 5 with patch 1.

I was using regex from Boost 1.25.0 but when I upgraded to 1.28.0 I got run-time errors (specifically bad_alloc). I had no problems compiling and running the test and example programs.

Eventually I discovered that I had to uncomment the following two macros (in user.hpp in boost/regex) and recompile the regex libraries:

// define this if no template instances are to be placed in // the library rather than users object files: #define BOOST_REGEX_NO_EXTERNAL_TEMPLATES

// define this if the forward declarations in regex_fwd.hpp // cause more problems than they are worth: #define BOOST_REGEX_NO_FWD

Now everything's just dandy!

Eric you are a life saver!!! I had the same problem, earlier version worked perfectly, the newest built fine but caused run time error. Did you find this solution with probing or do you have knowledge of something? Thank you for your help.
