Re: Boost 1.28 Regex and VC6 link problem

Using Boost 1.28 and regex I get linker errors regarding raw_storage. I believe someone has brought this up before but I didn't save the previous answer.

It seems to be related to these lines in instances.hpp

template class re_detail::raw_storage< BOOST_DEFAULT_ALLOCATOR BOOST_REGEX_CHAR_T) >;

template class BOOST_REGEX_DECL re_detail::raw_storage;

Are these lines in error ? Should one or both of them be removed ? My guess is that the line with BOOST_REGEX_DECL needs to be removed.

Removing the first of the two lines cited in instances.hpp, the line without the BOOST_REGEX_DECL fixes the problem. Hopefully this will be fixed for the next release.
