--- Comment #1 from Kyle Evans <kevans@freebsd.org> ---
(In reply to Milo Cooper from comment #0)

If std::regex is just a shim for libc regex(3), then yes, this is expected.=
 As
of 13.0-ish, we've started rejecting many escapes of ordinary characters (t=
his
is UB according to POSIX, and shouldn't be considered portable).

Some of them are imbued with special meaning by libregex to match GNU
expectations (e.g., \w/\W, \b/\B, \s/\S, \<, \>), so we're trying to avoid =
some
confusion by not having a "working" expression in both libc and libregex --=
 it
either compiles and you get the GNU behavior, or it doesn't compile and you=
're
made aware that you need libregex if you expected GNU behavior.
