Famously, there are extensions in Perl regexes that allow this. I
think the PCRE library would therefore allow it.
Exactly what I was needing, thanks. I also found out that
boost/xpressive has a support for that, just checking if it works.
Anyone can comment about the speed of regexp matching when using boost
as compared to when using C APIs ?
No, but the big advantage to boost, obviously, is that we already depend
upon it. I don't even know how well PCRE works cross-platform.
Obviously, we'd have to add it to our own tree....
