Definition at line 170 of file regex_constants.h.

  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.

Definition at line 141 of file regex_constants.h.

  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_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.
Definition at line 363 of file regex_constants.h.

  constexpr match_flag_type std::regex_constants::format_sed [inline], [constexpr]

Definition at line 355 of file regex_constants.h.

  constexpr syntax_option_type std::regex_constants::grep [inline], [constexpr]

  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 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.
Definition at line 95 of file regex_constants.h.

  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.
