Hi John, Thanks a lot for the help. I did not build the library with the BOOST_REGEX_MATCH_EXTRA flag and that was causing the error. I build boost 1.40 with the above #define and it works fine. Thanks a lot for the help Cheers Naren On Tue, Sep 1, 2009 at 9:43 PM, John Maddock <john@johnmaddock.co.uk> wrote:
I am Boost novice and am trying to build a sample application from boost
examples. The following is the environment details
OS: Winxp sp2. Boost version : 1.40.0 Compiler / IDE : MSVC8.0/ Visual Studio 2005
I built the boost libraries using the above compiler using the bjam.exe tool and installed boost using the same tool(bjam.exe install). When I run the program(given below) by linking against libboost_regex-vc80-mt-1_39.lib with the following define flags(/D BOOST_REGEX_MATCH_EXTRA /D BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB), I get a crash with the following message
In order to use BOOST_REGEX_MATCH_EXTRA, then you must compile the regex library with that flag set: otherwise the library will *not* be binary compatible with your code (see http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_40_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/capture... )
Also why set BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB? IMO it's way to easy to select the wrong library variant if you do it by hand, the auto-linking feature is there for a reason :-)
HTH, John. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
