std::regex_traits - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

| | | | | --------------------------------------------- | | ------------- | | template< class CharT > class regex_traits; | | (since C++11) |

The type trait template regex_traits supplies std::basic_regex with the set of types and functions necessary to operate on the type CharT.

Since many of regex operations are locale-sensitive (when std::regex_constants::collate flag is set), the regex_traits class typically holds an instance of a std::locale as a private member.

[edit] Standard specializations

Two specializations of std::regex_traits are defined by the standard library:

std::regex_traits
std::regex_traits<wchar_t>

These specializations make it possible to use std::basic_regex<char> (aka std::regex) and std::basic_regex<wchar_t> (aka std::wregex). To use std::basic_regex with other character types (for example, char32_t), a user-provided trait class must be used.

[edit] Member types

Type Definition
char_type CharT
string_type std::basic_string<CharT>
locale_type The locale used for localized behavior in the regular expression. Must be CopyConstructible
char_class_type Represents a character classification and is capable of holding an implementation specific set returned by lookup_classname. Must be a BitmaskType.

[edit] Member functions

(constructor) constructs the regex_traits object (public member function) [edit]
length[static] calculates the length of a null-terminated character string (public static member function) [edit]
translate determines the equivalence key for a character (public member function) [edit]
translate_nocase determines the case-insensitive equivalence key for a character (public member function) [edit]
transform determines the sort key for the given string, used to provide collation order (public member function) [edit]
transform_primary determines the primary sort key for the character sequence, used to determine equivalence class (public member function) [edit]
lookup_collatename gets a collation element by name (public member function) [edit]
lookup_classname gets a character class by name (public member function) [edit]
isctype indicates membership in a localized character class (public member function) [edit]
value translates the character representing a numeric digit into an integral value (public member function) [edit]
imbue sets the locale (public member function) [edit]
getloc gets the locale (public member function) [edit]
