2458,1.36.0 Regex will not compile under MSVC 8.0,anonymous,John Maddock,"I get the following error (repeated several times) when I build the boost libraries using MSVC 8.0 (8.0.50727.42):

Commenting out the line:

template _CRTIMP2 allocator<unsigned short>::allocator();

where it appears in usinstances.cpp and workaround.hpp seems to solve the problem. In the MSVC definition of this function, it includes ""throw()"", which causes the conflict.",Bugs,closed,Boost 1.37.0,regex,Boost 1.36.0,Problem,fixed,,
