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.

Variable Documentation

  const syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::awk [static]

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, explicitly, '\\', '\a', '\b', '\f', '\n', '\r', '\t' , '\v', '\'', ''', and '\ddd' (where ddd is one, two, or three octal digits).

Definition at line 147 of file tr1_impl/regex.

  const syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::basic [static]

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 129 of file tr1_impl/regex.

  const syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::collate [static]

Specifies that character ranges of the form [a-b] should be locale sensitive.

Definition at line 110 of file tr1_impl/regex.

  const syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::ECMAScript [static]

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 tr1 section [7.13]. 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 120 of file tr1_impl/regex.

  const syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::egrep [static]

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 163 of file tr1_impl/regex.

  const syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::extended [static]

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 137 of file tr1_impl/regex.

  const match_flag_type std::regex_constants::format_default [static]

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.
Definition at line 283 of file tr1_impl/regex.

  const match_flag_type std::regex_constants::format_first_only [static]
When specified during a search and replace operation, only the first occurrence of the regular expression shall be replaced.
Definition at line 304 of file tr1_impl/regex.

  const match_flag_type std::regex_constants::format_no_copy [static]
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 298 of file tr1_impl/regex.

  const match_flag_type std::regex_constants::format_sed [static]
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 291 of file tr1_impl/regex.

  const syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::grep [static]
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 155 of file tr1_impl/regex.

  const syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::icase [static]
Specifies that the matching of regular expressions against a character sequence shall be performed without regard to case.
Definition at line 89 of file tr1_impl/regex.

  const match_flag_type std::regex_constants::match_any [static]
If more than one match is possible then any match is an acceptable result.
Definition at line 238 of file tr1_impl/regex.

  const match_flag_type std::regex_constants::match_continuous [static]
The expression only matches a sub-sequence that begins at first .
Definition at line 248 of file tr1_impl/regex.

  const match_flag_type std::regex_constants::match_default [static]
The default matching rules.
Definition at line 206 of file tr1_impl/regex.

  const match_flag_type std::regex_constants::match_not_bol [static]
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 213 of file tr1_impl/regex.

  const match_flag_type std::regex_constants::match_not_bow [static]
The expression '\b' is not matched against the sub-sequence [first,first).
Definition at line 226 of file tr1_impl/regex.

  const match_flag_type std::regex_constants::match_not_eol [static]
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 220 of file tr1_impl/regex.

  const match_flag_type std::regex_constants::match_not_eow [static]
The expression '\b' should not be matched against the sub-sequence [last,last).

Definition at line 255 of file tr1_impl/regex.

  const syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::nosubs [static]
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 96 of file tr1_impl/regex.

  const syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::optimize [static]
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.
