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
