Exporting variables is unreliable on some platforms including Windows, and it seems can cause compilation errors in some cases. Also symbols should not be exported unnecessarily purely on principle. It would even be possible to move the arrays into the function, but as they are a bit large that seems to be worse for readability.
Boost Regex Library
The Boost Regex library provides regular expression support for C++, this library is the ancestor to std::regex and still goes beyond and offers some advantages to, the standard version.
The full documentation is available on boost.org.
Support, bugs and feature requests
Bugs and feature requests can be reported through the Gitub issue tracker (see open issues and closed issues).

There is no mailing-list specific to Boost Regex, although you can use the general-purpose Boost mailing-list using the tag [regex].
Development
Clone the whole boost project, which includes the individual Boost projects as submodules (see boost+git doc):
git clone https://github.com/boostorg/boost
cd boost
git submodule update --init
The Boost Regex Library is located in libs/regex/.
Running tests
First, make sure you are in libs/regex/test.
You can either run all the tests listed in Jamfile.v2 or run a single test:
../../../b2 <- run all tests
../../../b2 regex_regress <- single test
