I’m using 1.37 (Ubuntu hasn’t caught up to 1.39 yet) so maybe these leaks have been fixed already.

Some examples of how easy thread and regex are:


namespace b = boost;
...
MyObj obj;
b::thread t = b::thread(b::bind(&MyObj::thread, &obj)); // spawn new thread
b::thread t2 = b::thread(b::bind(&MyObj::thread, &obj)); // another, why not?
...
t.join(); // wait for thread to finish
t2.join(); // wait for second thread to finish



namespace b = boost;
...
std::string buffer = "testingtestingZZ11 1ZZtestingtesting";
const b::regex fmt("[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9][0-9A-Z]? [0-9][ABDEFGHJLNPQRSTUWXYZ]{2}"");
b::smatch what;
if (b::regex_search(buffer, what, fmt) {
std::cout << "Found UK postcode: " << what[0] << std::endl;
}
...


Amazing!
