If you use the switch you mentioned, be aware that you are compiling with
C++ native wchar_t support, which is probably what you want, but that if
someone else tries to use the library and does not use this switch, which
means the previous VC++ typedef compatibility for wchar_t, they will fail
during the link phase if you are exporting any functions which pass or
return wchar_t in any way in your library.

I think Boost should promote native C++ wchar_t support, but of course this
will break user modules which take the default. Presently Regex++ uses the
default and not the switch above.

Which is correct: (?=a) is a forward lookahead *possitive* assertion, so
(?=a)b can never match anything since the next character can't be both an
'a' and a 'b' at the same time!

> Similarly, "(?!a)b" should not match "b" in "xyzabcdefg" but it does.

It should match: (?!a) will match anything except 'a' so (?!a)b will match
the next 'b' that it finds.

You might mention to him that a dozen or so of the Boost libraries are in 
process of being standardized by WG21/J16, the International Standards 
Organization's (ISO) C++ Standards Committee, and so will eventually become 
a part of the C++ Standard itself.

That might sum up the quality of the Boost libraries in a way your boss can 
understand.

HTH,

Error in testing tuple

Happy Holidays to everyone! I am getting aquainted with the tuple 
class but am encountering the following error:

Perhaps the decision should be made consistent throughout any Boost library
exporting wchar_t functionality. A new Boost macro might be able to enforce
it for VC++ 7.0 and higher throughout Boost. I am sure it would be
disconcerting to end users to find that Boost implementation X, which uses
wchar_t for VC++, uses it one way while Boost implementation Y, which uses
wchar_t for VC++, uses it the opposite way.

Re: Compile error when build boost with vc 7 and vc 7.1

I reinstall VC 7.1 and delete boost. Then do the following works:

d:
cd boost
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous <at> cvs.boost.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost login
[press return]
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous <at> cvs.boost.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost
checkout boost
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous <at> cvs.boost.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost logout

now got last version of boost

cd boost
cd tools
cd build
cd jam_src
build.bat

some message on screen:
Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual C++ tools.
###
### Using 'msvc' toolset.
###
...

now got bjam.exe

then do following work:
cd..
cd..

Re: Simple boost program throws exception

Hi,

On December 7th I've posted this message, which unfortunately didn't 
get any reply. I'm not a professional programmer, so forgive me if it 
is a silly question, but your cooperation will help me understand 
boost better, thank you and happy new year to all.
