使用regex_replace函数时出错<tr1/regex>

Question

#include <string>
#include <tr1/regex>

#include "TextProcessing.h"

const std::string URL_PATTERN("((http://)[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\\+.~#?&//=]+)");
const std::string REPLACEMENT("<a href=\"$&\"\">$&</a>");

std::string textprocessing::processLinks(const std::string & text)
{

    // essentially the same regex as in the previous example, but using a dynamic regex
    std::tr1::regex url(URL_PATTERN);

    // As in Perl, $& is a reference to the sub-string that matched the regex
    return std::tr1::regex_replace(text, url, REPLACEMENT);
}

I'm using mingw gcc copiler 4.5.0 version.

I've got the follow error:

Answer 1

Yup, in my g++ include files I also see that regex_replace is declared and not defined. For me, it's in the file /usr/include/c++/4.4.4/tr1_impl/regex . Just above the declaration is a Doxygen comment section which includes:

/** @todo Implement this function. */

Your standard C++ library does not have complete c++0x (now c++1x?) support. Try using Boost's code. See also this answer .
