C++11: Deprecate Glib::Regex for std::regex

I guess we can deprecate Glib::Regex now that we have std::regex: http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/regex Any objections? -- Murray Cumming murr...@murrayc.com www.murrayc.com ___ gtkmm-list mailing list gtkmm-list@gnome.org

Re: C++11: Deprecate Glib::Regex for std::regex

std::regex only works correctly on UTF-8 strings if the system has an UTF-8 locale, and Windows does not have it. The standard C++ library is on Windows completely broken and unusable - for example, reading into a wifstream converts to ASCII if the locale is set to "C".
