1. what parts of boost.regex are available in V3? I just found (to my embarassment during discussion with my boss) that regex_replace is not available in V3.
regex_replace, and the regex iterators. Maybe other things, you'd have to consult the V3 docs to be sure.
2. what compilers are known to not work with V4, or (more precisely) : is there any reason to force MSVC6 into V3?
No, none. Actually as it turns out no compilers that I'm aware of fail with V4.
3. assuming that we build regex library files in V4, is it OK (well-defined behaviour) to link these .dll and .lib with code compiled with regex V3?
Yikes, no, don't go there! John.
