Using death test asserts needs 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())

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

The following error occurs:

"Example_unittest.cpp", line 14: Error: testing::internal::RE::RE(const 
testing::internal::RE&) is not accessible from 
jagent::ContextHelpTest_HelpDeathTest_Test::TestBody().
"Example_unittest.cpp", line 14: Warning (Anachronism): 
testing::internal::RE::RE(const testing::internal::RE&) is not accessible 
from jagent::ContextHelpTest_HelpDeathTest_Test::TestBody().

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

gtest 1.3.0

uname -a
SunOS 5.10 Generic_118833-03 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V890

CC -V
Sun C++ 5.8 2005/10/13

Please provide any additional information below.

For some reasons the Sun compiler needs the copy constructor for the "const 
::testing::internal::RE& gtest_regex = (regex);" assignment.

The following patch solves this problem:
