#9289: Boost1.54/regex doesn't throw exception on invalid pattern (regression)

 Reporter:  xnox@…            |      Owner:  johnmaddock
     Type:  Bugs              |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  regex
  Version:  Boost 1.54.0      |   Severity:  Regression
 Keywords:                    |
------------------------------+-------------------------
 {{{
 #include <boost/regex.hpp>

 main () {
         boost::regex("{notclosed");
 }
 }}}

 Above code is essentially part of source-highlight test-suite. Above code
 is expected to throw boost::regex_error exception. And it did so up-to
 boost 1.53, with boost 1.54 it no longer throws that.

 Expected output
 {{{
 $ ./a.out
 terminate called after throwing an instance of
 'boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<boost::exception_detail::error_info_injector<boost::regex_error>
 >'
   what():  Invalid content of repeat range.  The error occurred while
 parsing the regular expression: '{>>>HERE>>>notclosed'.
 Aborted (core dumped)
 $ echo $?
 134
 }}}

 Actual with boost1.54
 {{{
 $ ./a.out
 $ echo $?
 0
 }}}
