I seem to have problems with using std::regex with wxWidgest 3.1.2 on Linux. Using std::regex in a EVT_COMMAND handler will crash the app. Switching to boost::regex and there is no problem. Any body know why? This is not a problem with Windows and MS VS version of std::regex.
Using: Cent0S 7 with g++ 4.8.5
Thanks,

Using std::regex with Linux
Re: Using std::regex with Linux
Hi,
It's unlikely to be an issue with std::regex itself. More likely it's revealing a timing-sensitive bug in your program, with e.g. a pointer losing scope and being nulled faster in Linux.
However you can easily check if it's a real std::regex bug: just make a std::regex call elsewhere e.g. in your frame ctor, and see if it crashes there too.
If not, look hard at the event handler; is it called with the correct 'this'? or is it called from a worker thread, and the event contains data that's lost scope?
If all else fails (
) try running the program in your debugger...

David
