Escaping boost.regex literal string fragments

13 Oct 2015

      Is there no equivalent to http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qregexp.html#escape in
Boost.Regex, i.e. a way to escape all special characters so they match
"literally"?

There are manual solutions, like
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1252992/how-to-escape-a-string-for-use-in...,
but shouldn't that be part of the API?

Does C++11's std::regex, based on boost::regex, include this API? Thanks,
--DD
