This header is part of the regular expressions library.

Namespace std::regex_constants

Types
Defined in namespace std::regex_constants
general options controlling regex behavior
(typedef)
options specific to matching
(typedef)
describes different types of matching errors
(typedef)


Classes

regular expression object
(class template)
(C++11)
identifies the sequence of characters matched by a sub-expression
(class template)
identifies one regular expression match, including all sub-expression matches
(class template)
iterates through all regex matches within a character sequence
(class template)
iterates through the specified sub-expressions within all regex matches in a given string or through unmatched substrings
(class template)
reports errors generated by the regular expressions library
(class)
provides metainformation about a character type, required by the regex library
(class template)

Functions

Algorithm
attempts to match a regular expression to an entire character sequence
(function template)
attempts to match a regular expression to any part of a character sequence
(function template)
replaces occurrences of a regular expression with formatted replacement text
(function template)
Non-member operations
specializes the std::swap algorithm
(function template)
compares two sub_match objects
(function template)
outputs the matched character subsequence
(function template)
lexicographically compares the values in the two match result
(function template)
specializes the std::swap() algorithm
(function template)
