The following regular expression seems to cover all the cases:

    boost::regex min_max_regex(
        "((^\\s*#\\s*undef\\s*\\b(min|max)\\b)|" //#undef min/max
        "(\\b(min|max)\\b\\s*\\())|"     //min/max(...
        "(\"[^\"]*\")|"     //character array literals
        "(\'[^\']*\')|"     //character literals
        "(/\\*.*?\\*/)|"   // /**/ comments
        "(//.*?$)",    // // comments
        boost::regex::normal
    );

There is an error iff match_results[1].matched is true.
All that is required is to use regex_search instead of regex_iterator
and to skip to the end of each match before continuing.
