The section r.alg of the standard specifies three regular expressions algorithms: regex_match, regex_search and regex_replace. The preamble section specifies the requirement to optional exception thrown by these algorithms: "The algorithms described in this subclause may throw an exception of type regex_error". However, the exponential tests for regex_match and regex_search consider these exceptions to be mandatory, which makes these tests fail under some conformant implementations. This patch makes the mentioned tests consider these exceptions optional as required by the standard. Additionally, the patch introduces the missing exponential test for regex_replace algorithm to improve test coverage.

Other than the missing // UNSUPPORTED bits, this looks good to me.

Yes. I don't have commit permissions.
The other "exponential" tests also have a // UNSUPPORTED: c++98, c++03; but I'm not sure why.
These other "exponential" tests use std::regex_constants::syntax_option_type introduced in C++11. The new test I added does not use this type and associated constants, so it does not require this UNSUPPORTED directive. Besides, I made this new test consistent with all other tests in the same directory, which do not have UNSUPPORTED: c++98, c++03 for the same reason. However, if you disagree, I will add it along with UNSUPPORTED: libcpp-no-exceptions, but I'd like to now the reason eventually.
// UNSUPPORTED: libcpp-no-exceptions added. I ran the new test against libc++ in c++98 and c++03 modes once again to make sure it passes. It means that // UNSUPPORTED: c++98, c++03; is not needed for the reason I mentioned in my previous comment.
