Typedef Documentation
typedef std::bitset<_S_match_flag_last> std::regex_constants::match_flag_type
This is a bitmask type indicating regex matching rules. The match_flag_type is implementation defined but it is valid to perform bitwise
operations on these values and expect the right thing to happen.
Definition at line 198 of file regex_constants.h.
typedef unsigned int std::regex_constants::syntax_option_type
This is a bitmask type indicating how to interpret the regex. The syntax_option_type is implementation defined but it is valid to perform
bitwise operations on these values and expect the right thing to happen.
A valid value of type syntax_option_type shall have exactly one of the elements ECMAScript, basic, extended, awk, grep, egrep set.

Variable Documentation
constexpr syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::awk
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, ,
f,
,
, , v, ', ', and ddd (where ddd is one, two, or three octal digits).
Definition at line 144 of file regex_constants.h.
constexpr syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::basic
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].
Definition at line 126 of file regex_constants.h.
constexpr syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::collate
Specifies that character ranges of the form [a-b] should be locale sensitive.
Definition at line 107 of file regex_constants.h.
constexpr syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::ECMAScript
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.
Definition at line 117 of file regex_constants.h.
constexpr syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::egrep
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.
Definition at line 160 of file regex_constants.h.
constexpr syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::extended
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.
Definition at line 134 of file regex_constants.h.
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::format_default
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]):
o $$ The dollar-sign itself ($)
o $& The matched substring.
o $` The portion of string that precedes the matched substring. This would be match_results::prefix().
o $' The portion of string that follows the matched substring. This would be match_results::suffix().
o $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.
o $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.
Definition at line 280 of file regex_constants.h.
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::format_first_only
When specified during a search and replace operation, only the first occurrence of the regular expression shall be replaced.
Definition at line 301 of file regex_constants.h.
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::format_no_copy
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.
Definition at line 295 of file regex_constants.h.
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::format_sed
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].
Definition at line 288 of file regex_constants.h.
constexpr syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::grep
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.
Definition at line 152 of file regex_constants.h.
constexpr syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::icase
Specifies that the matching of regular expressions against a character sequence shall be performed without regard to case.
Definition at line 86 of file regex_constants.h.
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::match_any
If more than one match is possible then any match is an acceptable result.
Definition at line 235 of file regex_constants.h.
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::match_continuous
The expression only matches a sub-sequence that begins at first .
Definition at line 245 of file regex_constants.h.
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::match_default
The default matching rules.
Definition at line 203 of file regex_constants.h.
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::match_not_bol
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).
Definition at line 210 of file regex_constants.h.
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::match_not_bow
The expression is not matched against the sub-sequence [first,first).
Definition at line 223 of file regex_constants.h.
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::match_not_eol
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).
Definition at line 217 of file regex_constants.h.
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::match_not_eow
The expression should not be matched against the sub-sequence [last,last).
Definition at line 229 of file regex_constants.h.
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::match_not_null
The expression does not match an empty sequence.
Definition at line 240 of file regex_constants.h.
constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::match_prev_avail
--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 regular
expression algorithms 28.11 and iterators 28.12.
Definition at line 252 of file regex_constants.h.
constexpr syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::nosubs
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.
Definition at line 93 of file regex_constants.h.
constexpr syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::optimize
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.
Definition at line 101 of file regex_constants.h.
