Hi

I'm trying to use a vector of Boost Xpressive sregex objects. VS2005
compiles my code successfully, but gcc 3.4 and 4.1 fail with:

<path>/include/c++/3.4.5/bits/stl_construct.h: In function `void
std::__destroy_aux(_ForwardIterator, _ForwardIterator, __false_type)

boost::xpressive::sregex, _Alloc =

_normal_iterator<const

char*, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>,
std::allocator<char> > > >&>, 1l>)'

The code to generate this is:

#include <vector>
#include <boost/xpressive/xpressive_dynamic.hpp>

using namespace std;
using namespace boost::xpressive;

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
       vector<sregex> vec;
       return 0;
}


My guess is that sregex is an incomplete type in this context, and IIRC,
std::vector requires complete type for instantiation. Did you mean to
include xpressive_dynamic.hpp? sregex probably is only forward declared
with this include. Did you mean to include xpressive_static.hpp?

Hi Jeff,

In my test, I did
#include <boost/xpressive/xpressive.hpp> which includes both dynamic
and static.
