Re: [boost] [regex]Including regex.hpp causes error in an skeletonwin32 project of VS.net2003 with MFC support

MFC does some nasty things like "#define new DEBUG_NEW". And I bet regex_raw_buffer.hpp(177) has an invocation of placement new. Try including the boost headers before the MFC headers, or find where MFC is monkeying with the definition of "new" and delete it.

Ah, that might do it, it's not a placement new, it's a call to ::operator new. There's no way to suppress macro expansion on a non-function macro either is there? Thanks for the hint, John.
