6213	Escaping close parentheses doesn't work in boost::regex	anonymous	John Maddock	"Currently I am running Boost 1.47 on Scientific Linux 6 and cannot get the escaped close parentheses to match in a very simple expression.  I can remove the escaped close parentheses and the regular expression will match, but with the escaped close parentheses, we never can get the if statement to work.  I can put a small work around in our codebase, but I would expect this feature to work.  Below is a example snippet of code:

{{{
#!div style=""font-size: 80%""
  {{{#!C++
void MyFuction(const std::string& val)
{
  boost::regex  expr1(""(.*)\\((.*)\\)"");
  boost::regex  expr2(""(.*)\\((.*)"");
  boost::cmatch matches;
  
  if(boost::regex_match(val.c_str(), matches, expr1)) {
    //never will get in here
  }

  if(boost::regex_match(val.c_str(), matches, expr2)) {
    //will get in here when we expect it to
  }

}
  }}}
}}}

I appologize if there's something on my side that I'm missing, but I searched around and really can't find anything in our code base that would indicate its our code base and not boost::regex."	Bugs	closed	To Be Determined	regex	Boost 1.47.0	Problem	worksforme
