Variable Documentation
constexpr syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::__multiline [inline], [constexpr]
Extension: Equivalent to regex_constants::multiline for C++11 and C++14.
constexpr syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::__polynomial [inline], [constexpr]
Extension: Ensure both space complexity of compiled regex and time complexity execution
are not exponential. If specified in a regex with back-references, the exception
regex_constants::error_complexity will be thrown.
constexpr syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::awk [inline], [constexpr]
Specifies that the grammar recognized by the regular expression engine is that used by
POSIX utility awk in IEEE Std 1003.1-2001. This option is identical to syntax_option_type
extended, except that C-style escape sequences are supported. These sequences are: \\, \a,
\b, \f, \n, \r, \t , \v, \&apos,, &apos,, and \ddd (where ddd is one, two, or three octal
digits).
constexpr syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::basic [inline], [constexpr]
Specifies that the grammar recognized by the regular expression engine is that used by
POSIX basic regular expressions in IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Portable Operating System
Interface (POSIX), Base Definitions and Headers, Section 9, Regular Expressions [IEEE,
Information Technology -- Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX), IEEE Standard
1003.1-2001].
constexpr syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::collate [inline], [constexpr]
Specifies that character ranges of the form [a-b] should be locale sensitive.
constexpr syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::ECMAScript [inline], [constexpr]
Specifies that the grammar recognized by the regular expression engine is that used by
ECMAScript in ECMA-262 [Ecma International, ECMAScript Language Specification, Standard
Ecma-262, third edition, 1999], as modified in section [28.13]. This grammar is similar to
that defined in the PERL scripting language but extended with elements found in the POSIX
regular expression grammar.
constexpr syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::egrep [inline], [constexpr]
Specifies that the grammar recognized by the regular expression engine is that used by
POSIX utility grep when given the -E option in IEEE Std 1003.1-2001. This option is
identical to syntax_option_type extended, except that newlines are treated as whitespace.
constexpr syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::extended [inline], [constexpr]
Specifies that the grammar recognized by the regular expression engine is that used by
POSIX extended regular expressions in IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Portable Operating System
Interface (POSIX), Base Definitions and Headers, Section 9, Regular Expressions.
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::format_default [inline], [constexpr]
When a regular expression match is to be replaced by a new string, the new string is
constructed using the rules used by the ECMAScript replace function in ECMA- 262 [Ecma
International, ECMAScript Language Specification, Standard Ecma-262, third edition, 1999],
part 15.5.4.11 String.prototype.replace. In addition, during search and replace operations
all non-overlapping occurrences of the regular expression are located and replaced, and
sections of the input that did not match the expression are copied unchanged to the output
string.
Format strings (from ECMA-262 [15.5.4.11]):
•
$$ The dollar-sign itself ($)
•
$& The matched substring.
•
$` The portion of string that precedes the matched substring. This would be
match_results::prefix().
•
$' The portion of string that follows the matched substring. This would be
match_results::suffix().
•
$n The nth capture, where n is in [1,9] and $n is not followed by a decimal digit. If n
<= match_results::size() and the nth capture is undefined, use the empty string instead.
If n > match_results::size(), the result is implementation-defined.
•
$nn The nnth capture, where nn is a two-digit decimal number on [01, 99]. If nn <=
match_results::size() and the nth capture is undefined, use the empty string instead. If
nn > match_results::size(), the result is implementation-defined.
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::format_first_only [inline], [constexpr]
When specified during a search and replace operation, only the first occurrence of the
regular expression shall be replaced.
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::format_no_copy [inline], [constexpr]
During a search and replace operation, sections of the character container sequence being
searched that do not match the regular expression shall not be copied to the output
string.
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::format_sed [inline], [constexpr]
When a regular expression match is to be replaced by a new string, the new string is
constructed using the rules used by the POSIX sed utility in IEEE Std 1003.1- 2001 [IEEE,
Information Technology -- Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX), IEEE Standard
1003.1-2001].
constexpr syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::grep [inline], [constexpr]
Specifies that the grammar recognized by the regular expression engine is that used by
POSIX utility grep in IEEE Std 1003.1-2001. This option is identical to syntax_option_type
basic, except that newlines are treated as whitespace.
constexpr syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::icase [inline], [constexpr]
Specifies that the matching of regular expressions against a character sequence shall be
performed without regard to case.
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::match_any [inline], [constexpr]
If more than one match is possible then any match is an acceptable result.
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::match_continuous [inline], [constexpr]
The expression only matches a sub-sequence that begins at first .
Referenced by std::regex_iterator< _Bi_iter, _Ch_type, _Rx_traits >::operator++().
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::match_default [inline], [constexpr]
The default matching rules.
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::match_not_bol [inline], [constexpr]
The first character in the sequence [first, last) is treated as though it is not at the
beginning of a line, so the character (^) in the regular expression shall not match
[first, first).
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::match_not_bow [inline], [constexpr]
The expression \b is not matched against the sub-sequence [first,first).
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::match_not_eol [inline], [constexpr]
The last character in the sequence [first, last) is treated as though it is not at the end
of a line, so the character ($) in the regular expression shall not match [last, last).
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::match_not_eow [inline], [constexpr]
The expression \b should not be matched against the sub-sequence [last,last).
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::match_not_null [inline], [constexpr]
The expression does not match an empty sequence.
Referenced by std::regex_iterator< _Bi_iter, _Ch_type, _Rx_traits >::operator++().
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::match_prev_avail [inline], [constexpr]
--first is a valid iterator position. When this flag is set then the flags match_not_bol
and match_not_bow are ignored by the algorithms regex_match, regex_search, and
regex_replace, and by the iterators regex_iterator and regex_token_iterator.
Referenced by std::regex_iterator< _Bi_iter, _Ch_type, _Rx_traits >::operator++().
constexpr syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::multiline [inline], [constexpr]
Specifies that the ^ anchor matches at the beginning of a line, and the $ anchor matches
at the end of a line, not only at the beginning/end of the input. Valid for the ECMAScript
syntax, ignored otherwise.
Since
C++17
constexpr syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::nosubs [inline], [constexpr]
Specifies that when a regular expression is matched against a character container
sequence, no sub-expression matches are to be stored in the supplied match_results
structure.
constexpr syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::optimize [inline], [constexpr]
Specifies that the regular expression engine should pay more attention to the speed with
which regular expressions are matched, and less to the speed with which regular expression
objects are constructed. Otherwise it has no detectable effect on the program output.
