2 ============================
4 The Boost Regex library provides regular expression support for C++, this library is the ancestor to std::regex and still goes beyond
5 and offers some advantages to, the standard version.
7 The full documentation is available on [boost.org](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/regex/index.html).
9 ## Support, bugs and feature requests ##
11 Bugs and feature requests can be reported through the [Gitub issue tracker](https://github.com/boostorg/regex/issues)
12 (see [open issues](https://github.com/boostorg/regex/issues) and
13 [closed issues](https://github.com/boostorg/regex/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed)).
15 You can submit your changes through a [pull request](https://github.com/boostorg/regex/pulls).
17 There is no mailing-list specific to Boost Regex, although you can use the general-purpose Boost [mailing-list](http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users) using the tag [regex].
22 Clone the whole boost project, which includes the individual Boost projects as submodules ([see boost+git doc](https://github.com/boostorg/boost/wiki/Getting-Started)):
24 git clone https://github.com/boostorg/boost
26 git submodule update --init
28 The Boost Regex Library is located in `libs/regex/`.
31 First, make sure you are in `libs/regex/test`.
32 You can either run all the tests listed in `Jamfile.v2` or run a single test:
34 ../../../b2 <- run all tests
35 ../../../b2 regex_regress <- single test
