The trunk version of wc_regex_traits.cpp compiles, just usinstances.cpp does not.

The value of _MSC_FULL_VER is 140050727.

Here the template instantiations in xstring:

template class _CRTIMP2_PURE allocator<char>;
template class _CRTIMP2_PURE allocator<wchar_t>;
template class _CRTIMP2_PURE _String_val<char, allocator<char> >;
template class _CRTIMP2_PURE _String_val<wchar_t, allocator<wchar_t> >;
template class _CRTIMP2_PURE basic_string<char, char_traits<char>,
        allocator<char> >;
template class _CRTIMP2_PURE basic_string<wchar_t, char_traits<wchar_t>,
        allocator<wchar_t> >;
