Hello,

The following code:

#include <string>
#include <boost/xpressive/xpressive_static.hpp>

void foo(const boost::xpressive::sregex& regex)
{
    std::string input;
    boost::xpressive::regex_replace(input, regex, "");
}

when compiled with GCC (I tested with 4.6/4.7/4.8) in C++11 mode,
gives the following compiler error:

In file included from boost/boost/xpressive/detail/core/regex_impl.hpp:21:0,

It works fine if I don't compile in C++11 mode. It used to work fine
even in C++11 mode in the 1.51 release (don't have 1.52 around to test
ATM).

Any suggestions for a fix/workaround?

Thanks,
Nate
