Using death test asserts causes the warnings about RE::RE(const testing::internal::RE&) copy constructor

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Compile any test case using death test asserts (eq. EXPECT_EXIT()) on 
AIX

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The following warnings occur:

"Example_unittest.cpp", line 13.9: 1540-0306 (W) The "private" copy 
constructor "RE(const RE &)" cannot be accessed.
"Example_unittest.cpp", line 13.9: 1540-0308 (I) The semantics specify that 
a temporary object must be constructed.
"Example_unittest.cpp", line 13.9: 1540-0309 (I) The temporary is not 
constructed, but the copy constructor must be accessible.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

gtest 1.3.0

uname -a
AIX 3 5

Compiler:

lslpp -L | grep cpp | grep core
vacpp.cmp.core            8.0.0.20    C     F    IBM XL C/C++ Compiler

Please provide any additional information below.

AIX C++ compiler needs the copy constructor for "const 
::testing::internal::RE& gtest_regex = (regex);". But the RE::RE() has the 
constructors from the std::string and "const char*" only. The patch below 
solves this problem:
