Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #6735: Regex pattern matching with wrong string

Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #6735: Regex pattern matching with wrong string https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/6735 <p> Hi, I am comparing the regular expression "<a class="source" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/log/?revs=0-9">[0-9]</a>+" with the string "1.2" I am expecting the comparison to be a failure as part of the following check in <a class="missing wiki">ConfigReader</a>.cpp </p> <p> if (false == var.<a class="missing wiki">CheckValue</a>(tValue)) { </p> <blockquote> <p> throw(<a class="missing wiki">FormatDisallowed</a>(name, var.m_Allowed, tValue)); </p> </blockquote> <p> } </p> <p> However, looks like <a class="missing wiki">CheckValue</a>() is returning a success -> which is incorrect. I added a print after the checkValue to verify it (which got hit) </p> <p> Same is the case for "<a class="source" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/log/?revs=0-9">[0-9]</a>+" and "123abc" Please let me know if I am missing something OR is it a known issue. </p> <p> thanks, Adarsh. </p> <p> Tried using gdb.
