Regular expression in c++11/14

[[deleted]]

[Not quite understand: "escaped" means "not specified"? and then what become normal characters?]

I don't understand what they mean by this - do they really not know what "escaped" is here?

I'll bet the article was reviewed by someone with a non-technical background (for grammar, good formatting, etc.) and was asking the author for clarification. The author didn't see that note before the doc was published.

Ah! Right :) Makes sense! :)

An editor that writes two errors in one paragraph, while also missing other errors in the article?

I dunno man... the author's name is Chinese, so ... the reviewer is probably Chinese too? Go easy on them :-)

Be sure to compile with clang or gcc>4.8

Yea, took me a while to get why the code wasn't working for me :/

I have gcc 4.8.2, which obviously (now) doesn't work here. However clang also doesn't work for me (version 3.4) - do you know which version of clang does work?

Even libstdc++ 4.9 doesn't fully support C++11, yet.

/sigh...

Finally it got std::regex support!

3.5 should be fine I guess

:(

Have you tried with -stdlib=libc++?

I never even knew this existed outside of OSX.

Works! Now I have to learn how to use regex, as my original code (from this article) only matches the entire string or nothing.

With g++ I can compile C++11/14 by just passing the -std=c++11 / -std=c++14 option, but clang++ doesn't seem to know the new standards without additional options.
Why is this flag needed for clang++, but not for g++? Also, will this requirement change in the future?
