Remove boost dependency#19
Conversation
- Replace Boost Regex with Std::Regex - Replace Boost trim with custom trim function - Remove boost from build files
(incidentally fixes failing nested section test)
The while loop was written with the assumption that the match object would be completely repopulated on the next call to regex_search. That makes sense, and GCC's failure to reset the object is probably a bug, but this accounts for it.

Oh wow, this is great! Thank you so much for taking the time to contribute! It will take me some time to look it over but I'm really happy about this. |

@kylealanhale Didn't notice that you had already raised these for review! Awesome. @mrtazz Nice that you have a Travis CI build going for this. It would be great when these changes go in, and I can abandon my fork! |

@mrtazz Wondering if you have had a chance to consider merging this patch? I'm curious about some of the other branches, and support for CMake based builds, and some other features like "the fix for partial file load" etc. |

can we move those into the Makefile and the gtest build utils script? Or is this a specific travis problem? I'd much rather have it close to the actual build if this will be a problem outside of Travis.

These are for the sake of Travis, although they're good clues on dependencies needed for building anywhere. However, I believe you have the -DGTEST_USE_OWN_TR1_TUPLE=1 documented already for clang, and I think I added something about gcc-4.9 and c++11, but I'll double check and make sure it's all there somewhere.

newline and indent to fit in 80 chars.

@kylealanhale I left some comments there. Most of it was really just stylistic as I think the code overall looks good. It would be great if you could in general try to make it break lines at 80 chars and remove trailing whitespace as it makes it easier for the next person to contribute regardless of editor/IDE. I also realized that this could all be made explicit in a |

@kylealanhale Would you prefer that I work on the comments provided @mrtazz ? Let me know if you are otherwise pre-occupied, and I will find some time for these changes. |
|
@shiva I should be able to knock these out in the next couple of days. |
|
Took care of those; let me know if you see anything else. Otherwise, I think this is ready to go. |

What's your versioning approach? Since this is a substantial change that will break for people who for any reason can't compile with c++11 support, it might warrant a new release. And maybe a 0.3.x release before merging this to catch any recent changes, which might be useful for anyone that wants to use the old Boost version. |
|
@kylealanhale yea that's a good point. I wanted to make it a new release anyways. I'll check what we have in master since the last release and will tag one before merging. Thanks again for doing all this work! |

The primary purpose of this pull request is to remove the boost regex dependency and use C++11’s regex support instead, as well as providing some custom trim functions to replace boost’s.
Additionally, some refactoring and logic work were done to handle edge cases, especially in the way that multi-line sections and newlines are treated that differ from the ruby implementation. Tests were added for these scenarios.
The travis config was updated to run jobs for both GCC 4.9 and Clang, and both are passing, although GCC’s implementation slightly differed, as you can see in 1304486.
A new Xcode project was also added, with unit tests wired up and passing.
