This looks like a bug in the MS/Dinkumware implementation: the typedef char_class_type is required to be a bitmask type, and bitmask types aren't required to support operator&&. The only thing I haven't checked is the latest draft std: the website isn't responding at present
I've asked about this (and a couple of other failures on the Visual C++ blog. The MS response is @ http://blogs.msdn.com/vcblog/archive/2008/04/07/visual-c-2008-feature-pack-r... To confirm i've got the right idea about the failure: The test that's failing is using the tr1 basic_regex along with a boost traits class. The boost traits class uses a bitset for the char_class_type, whereas the MS version uses an int. The failure is then because the MS regex can't handle a bitset as the char_class_type, due to the lack of an operator&& ? The only other failure outside type_traits that i haven't raised yet is in result_of (http://tinyurl.com/5gg58e). I haven't used result_of and i'm not sure what problem the failure indicates. Does anyone have any other thoughts about it? Thanks, Richard Webb
