<p>
Boost.Regex is intended to conform to the <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1836.pdf" target="_top">Technical
Report on C++ Library Extensions</a>.

/ JavaScript</a>
</h5>
<p>
All of the ECMAScript regular expression syntax features are supported, except
that:
</p>
<p>
The escape sequence \u matches any upper case character (the same as [[:upper:]])
rather than a Unicode escape sequence; use \x{DDDD} for Unicode escape sequences.
</p>
<h5>

<span class="phrase"><a name="boost_regex.background_information.standards.perl"></a></span><a class="link" href="standards.html#boost_regex.background_information.standards.perl">Perl</a>
</h5>
<p>
Almost all Perl features are supported, except for:
</p>
<p>
(?{code}) Not implementable in a compiled strongly typed language.
</p>
<p>
(??{code}) Not implementable in a compiled strongly typed language.
</p>
<p>
(*VERB) The <a href="http://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html#Special-Backtracking-Control-Verbs" target="_top">backtracking
control verbs</a> are not recognised or implemented at this time.
</p>
<p>
In addition the following features behave slightly differently from Perl:
</p>
<p>
^ $ \Z These recognise any line termination sequence, and not just \n: see
the Unicode requirements below.
</p>

<span class="phrase"><a name="boost_regex.background_information.standards.posix"></a></span><a class="link" href="standards.html#boost_regex.background_information.standards.posix">POSIX</a>
</h5>
<p>
All the POSIX basic and extended regular expression features are supported,
except that:
</p>
<p>
No character collating names are recognized except those specified in the
POSIX standard for the C locale, unless they are explicitly registered with
the traits class.
</p>
<p>
Character equivalence classes ( [[=a=]] etc) are probably buggy except on
Win32. Implementing this feature requires knowledge of the format of the
string sort keys produced by the system; if you need this, and the default
implementation doesn't work on your platform, then you will need to supply
a custom traits class.
