Congratulations, you've just spotted a... ahem... 20 year old bug in the documentation!
Should I do something explicit for it to get fixed (bug ticket, etc), or has that already been set in motion from this e-mail?
2. The other issue is that when I try this example with the string which is posted to not match, the Boost regex engine runs for a while and ultimately crashes with a memory error. (seems like it might be an endless loop of some sort). Is that a bug?
Works just fine for me here, if you have a complete self-contained test case (code, plus compiler version, platform and boost version please) I'll look into it.
If it's working for you I'll take a closer look and try to get a small repro. This is happening with GCC 4.9 on Linux (Ubuntu 14 & Gentoo) with Boost 1.61. Nick
