Defined in header <regex>
template< class BidirIt >
class sub_match;
(since C++11)

The class template std::sub_match is used by the regular expression engine to denote sequences of characters matched by marked sub-expressions. A match is a [beginend) pair within the target range matched by the regular expression, but with additional observer functions to enhance code clarity.

Only the default constructor is publicly accessible. Instances of std::sub_match are normally constructed and populated as a part of a std::match_results container during the processing of one of the regex algorithms.

The member functions return defined default values unless the matched member is true.

std::sub_match inherits from std::pair<BidirIt, BidirIt>, although it cannot be treated as a std::pair object because member functions such as assignment will not work as expected.

Type requirements

BidirIt must meet the requirements of LegacyBidirectionalIterator.

Specializations

Several specializations for common character sequence types are provided:
