[Boost-users] Use of regex_grep in regex_replace

I need to know if regex_replace actually makes any replacements, so will
have to code something similar myself, rather than using it as is.  The
1.31.0 documentation states that regex_replace (effectively) constructs a
regex_iterator object to do the work, but in practice it uses the deprecated
regex_grep algorithm.  Is there some advantage to doing it that way?

Thanks,
Keith MacDonald
