[Boost-users] regex: match_results::const_reference is sometimes sub_match<Bidi Iterator>, sometimes const char?

Hello, all.

The regex library is extremely helpful: thanks for all your efforts.

I've got a problem with gcc and stlport and boost: when I try
to get a submatch on other platforms, I can take my match object, m,
and do things like

        m[n].str();  // works great elsewhere

But with gcc / stlport, with BOOST_NO_STD_ALLOCATOR not defined,
the const_reference type is defined as Allocator::const_reference
(which is `const char'), rather than sub_match<BidiIterator>.
So operator[] gives me a char, and life isn't so good.

Any hints as to where I went astray?
