match_flag_type is a BitmaskType that specifies additional regular expression matching options.

Constants

Note: [first, last) refers to the character sequence being matched.

Constant Explanation
match_not_bol The first character in [first,last) will be treated as if it is not at the beginning of a line (i.e. ^ will not match [first,first)
match_not_eol The last character in [first,last) will be treated as if it is not at the end of a line (i.e. $ will not match [last,last)
match_not_bow "\b" will not match [first,first)
match_not_eow "\b" will not match [last,last)
match_any If more than one match is possible, then any match is an acceptable result
match_not_null Do not match empty sequences
match_continuous Only match a sub-sequence that begins at first
match_prev_avail --first is a valid iterator position. When set, causes match_not_bol and match_not_bow to be ignored
format_default Use ECMAScript rules to construct strings in std::regex_replace (syntax documentation)
format_sed Use POSIX sed utility rules in std::regex_replace. (syntax documentation)
format_no_copy Do not copy un-matched strings to the output in std::regex_replace
format_first_only Only replace the first match in std::regex_replace

All constants, except for match_default and format_default, are bitmask elements. The match_default and format_default constants are empty bitmasks.

Notes

In C++11, these constants were specified with redundant keyword static, which was removed by C++14 via LWG issue 2053.
