C++0x regex supported by gcc?

[mattia]

Hi all, do you know if gcc supports the regex library defined in the C+
+0x draft? If so, which version? Can you provide a simple snippet?

Thanks, Mattia

As far as I know, GCC does not support regular expressions as defined in TR1 as part of its standard library (yet). However, to use 0x features already before standardisation would be a portability nightmare (not to speak of stability issues to be expected in the early implementations).

If you want to stay at least semi-portable and need a solid regex library for C++, just use boost::regex for now. The TR1 specification is based upon it anyway. Or, if you are concerned about code changes after the compilers have caught up with the standard, you can use boost::tr1.

This ought to be a starting point:

Example code? Why? Using the regex library will look the same, no
matter what compiler you use, as long as it supports it.

you should link the BOOST library while compiling .
