Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  regex
  Version:  Boost 1.60.0      |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                    |
------------------------------+-------------------------

 https://github.com/boostorg/regex/blob/aa6495ae486522456bb0d507cd93f8023c3c4c0c/include/boost/regex/v4/basic_regex_parser.hpp#L1759.
