few questions about regex V3 vs V4
Few questions about regex V3 : 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. 2. what compilers are known to not work with V4, or (more precisely) : is there any reason to force MSVC6 into V3? 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? TIA -- Bronek Kozicki brok@rubikon.pl http://b.kozicki.pl/

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.

thank you. Could this be placed somewhere in documentation?

that's good news :). Thanks again B.

It's supposed to be here: http://www.boost.org/libs/regex/doc/history.html But I tend to be a little terse sometimes: I'll see what I can do to improve it. John.
