We switched to from the POSIX regex library to <regex> as it should be
provided by a C++11 compatible compiler. Unfortunately gcc 4.8.5 does
not properly implement <regex> and it made a lot of tests fail. We have
therefore switched to using the SCL gcc & clang compiler for now.

Yes, at least GCC 4.8/4.9 (with the then current libstdc++)
featured a severely broken <regex> (e.g. also on Fedora 19).

GCC 4.8 does, but the std::regex in 4.9 is OK.

If it's just <regex> an alternative is to fallback to Boost regex
- e.g. like this:

#ifdef SOME_MACRO_THAT_SIGNALS_PROPER_REGEX_AVAILABILITY

https://stackoverflow.com/a/41186162/981959 shows a working version of
that macro.

   #include <regex>
   namespace re = std;
#else
   #include <boost/regex.hpp>
   namespace re = boost;
#endif

And then use re::regex re::regex_match etc. in your code.

Yes, this is a reasonable workaround.
