Hi C++ enthusiasts!,

I've been hinted by AI that "std::regex can't be used with exceptions disabled"

if that's true, I'd suggest to improve the std supporting the exception-haters group, which I presume I belong to.

I have only the time to leave the suggestion, in case anyone is motivated to pick it up.

If you do not bother, why should other people?

In reality, as long as you pass valid regular expressions to the constructor, it should work, as exemplified below:

By the way, if you really hate exceptions, you should stop using strings, containers, shared_ptr, etc. At least in theory they all can throw.
