The directory, libs/regex/old_include contains a set of headers that make this version of regex++ compatible with previous ones, either add this directory to your include path, or copy these headers to the root directory of your boost installation. The contents of these headers are deprecated and undocumented - really these are just here for existing code - for new projects use the new header forms.

I am indebted to Robert Sedgewick's "Algorithms in C++" for forcing me to think about algorithms and their performance, and to the folks at boost for forcing me to think, period. The following people have all contributed useful comments or fixes: Dave Abrahams, Mike Allison, Edan Ayal, Jayashree Balasubramanian, Beman Dawes, Paul Baxter, David Dennerline, Edward Diener, Robert Dunn, , Fabio Forno, Tobias Gabrielsson, Rob Gillen, Marc Gregoire, Chris Hecker, Nick Hodapp, Jesse Jones, Martin Jost, Boris Krasnovskiy, Jan Hermelink, Max Leung, Wei-hao Lin, Jens Maurer, Heiko Schmidt, Scobie Smith, Alexander Sokolovsky, Hervé Poirier, Marc Recht, Bruno Voigt, Alexey Voinov, Jerry Waldorf, Rob Ward, Lealon Watts, Thomas Witt and Yuval Yosef. I am also grateful to the manuals supplied with the Henry Spencer, Perl and GNU regular expression libraries - wherever possible I have tried to maintain compatibility with these libraries and with the POSIX standard - the code however is entirely my own, including any bugs! I can absolutely guarantee that I will not fix any bugs I don't know about, so if you have any comments or spot any bugs, please get in touch.
