[Boost-users] Boost.Regex 1.36.0 fails to compile with VS2005 compiler

Boost.Regex 1.36.0 does not compile due to a compiler specific workaround in files libs\regex\src\usinstances.cpp and libs\regex\src\wc_regex_traits.cpp.

The attached patch fixes the problem but will (likely) break linking for others.

I use bjam 3.1.13 and obtain this error message:

...patience...

My bjam command line:

bjam -q -sNO_COMPRESSION=1 --build-type=complete --without-graph --without-math --without-mpi --without-python --without-serialization --without-signals --without-wave --toolset=msvc-8.0
