Re: [Boost-users] Win32 Non-greedy Regex "\w*?" matches whitespace (tabor space)

When changing the "search for word characters" from greedy to non-greedy, it starts to match whitespace characters. Attached is an example program. If you remove the '?' to make the search greedy, then it (correctly) doesn't match.

I am using boost 1.31.0, on WinXP using VC7.1. I have confirmed that this does not occur on my Linux machine.

Also attached is my Jamfile to make sure I didn't just compile it wrong. It occurs in both debug and release mode.

Works OK with the latest code: if you haven't done so already go over to http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586 and download the latest patches for Boost.Regex.1.31.0. John Maddock
