and i know, from your release notes, we can find that it didn't support VC++ 6.0 compiler from version 1.35.0.
but my project need use this compiler, and also want to update your fixed bugs for Regex lib. so please help me resolve this problem. Thanks very much!

VC6 is very old and very non-compliant. If you want to use it, you're on your own. Sorry.

Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #5073: why cannot build vc6.mak of regex in 1.45.0 version?
