Discussion:
Both the class definition of regex_iterator (32.11.1 [re.regiter]/1) and the latter member specification (32.11.1.3 [re.regiter.comp]/1+2) declare both comparison operators as non-const functions. Furtheron, both dereference operators are unexpectedly also declared as non-const in 32.11.1 [re.regiter]/1 as well as in (32.11.1.4 [re.regiter.deref]/1+2).
Proposed resolution:
1) In (32.11.1 [re.regiter]/1) change the current declarations
bool operator==(const regex_iterator&) const; bool operator!=(const regex_iterator&) const; const value_type& operator*() const; const value_type* operator->() const;
2) In 32.11.1.4 [re.regiter.deref] change the following declarations
const value_type& operator*() const; const value_type* operator->() const;
3) In 32.11.1.3 [re.regiter.comp] change the following declarations
bool operator==(const regex_iterator& right) const; bool operator!=(const regex_iterator& right) const;
