Boost regex not working inside indesign plugin

Question

Hi, While i was writing the below code in a separate project inside visual studio express, It works fine!
Now when I am using the same code in a Adobe InDesign plugin then boost::regex_search fails..
I am not getting the exact reason...
Any idea for resolving this will be great help.
void MTSTestFunctions::ParseAllMarker(std::wstring& inText, std::vector &outMarkerInfoVec)
    std::wstring::const_iterator start = inText.begin();
    std::wstring::const_iterator end = inText.end();
    boost::wregex pattern(L"((<.*?>)|(\\[[^[].*?[^]]\\])|(\\[\\[.*?\\]\\]))");
    boost::wsmatch what;
    boost::match_flag_type flags = boost::match_default;
    int32 index = 0;
    try
        while(boost::regex_search(start, end, what, pattern, flags))
            MarkerInfo tmpMarkerInfo;
            tmpMarkerInfo.mMarkerText.assign(what[0]);
            tmpMarkerInfo.mStartIndex = (what.position() + index);
            index += what.position();
            tmpMarkerInfo.mEndIndex = (index += what.position());
            tmpMarkerInfo.mMarkerTextLength = (index + what.length());
            index += what.length();
            // update search position:
            start = what[0].second;
            // update flags:
            flags |= boost::match_prev_avail;
            flags |= boost::match_not_bob;
    catch(std::runtime_error ex)
Thanks

Hi,
If I modify by above code as below for using std::tr1::regex the I gets the same crash...and error.
void MTSTestFunctions::ParseAllMarker(std::wstring& inTextO, std::vector<MarkerInfo> &outMarkerInfoVec)
    std::wstring inText;
    inText.assign(inTextO);
    std::wstring::const_iterator start = inText.begin();
    std::wstring::const_iterator end = inText.end();
    std::tr1::wregex pattern(L"((<.*?>)|(\\[[^[].*?[^]]\\])|(\\[\\[.*?\\]\\]))");
    std::tr1::wsmatch what;
    std::tr1::regex_constants::match_flag_type flags =  std::tr1::regex_constants::match_default;
    int32 index = 0;
    try
        while(std::tr1::regex_search(start, end, what, pattern, flags))
            MarkerInfo tmpMarkerInfo;
            tmpMarkerInfo.mMarkerText.assign(what[0]);
            tmpMarkerInfo.mStartIndex = (what.position() + index);
            index += what.position();
            tmpMarkerInfo.mEndIndex = (index += what.position());
            tmpMarkerInfo.mMarkerTextLength = (index + what.length());
            index += what.length();
            // update search position:
            start = what[0].second;
            // update flags:
            flags |=  std::tr1::regex_constants::match_prev_avail;
            //flags |=  std::tr1::regex_constants::match_not_bob;
    catch(std::runtime_error ex)
