C++ named requirements: RegexTraits (since C++11) (original) (raw)

RegexTraits is a traits class that abstracts operations needed for a given character type when as template type parameters for std::basic_regex.

[edit] Requirements

Given

expression return type semantics
X::char_type CharT Used to refer to the character type.
X::string_type std::basic_string<CharT>
X::locale_type A CopyConstructible type that represents the locale used by the traits class.
X::char_class_type A BitmaskType type that represents a particular character classification.
X::length(p) std::size_t Returns: the smallest i such that p[i] == 0. Complexity is linear in i.
v.translate(c) X::char_type Returns: a character such that for any character d considered to be equivalent to c, then v.translate(c) == v.translate(d).
v.translate_nocase(c) X::char_type Returns: a character such that for any character C considered to be equivalent to c without regard to case, then v.translate_nocase(c) == v.translate_nocase(C).
v.transform(F1, F2) X::string_type Returns: a sort key for the character sequence designated by the iterator range [F1, F2) such that if the character sequence [G1, G2) sorts before the character sequence [H1, H2), then v.transform(G1, G2) < v.transform(H1, H2).
v.transform_primary(F1, F2) X::string_type Returns: a sort key for the character sequence designated by the iterator range [F1, F2) such that if the character sequence [G1, G2) sorts before the character sequence [H1, H2) without regard to case, then v.transform_primary(G1, G2) < v.transform_primary(H1, H2).
v.lookup_collatename(F1, F2) X::string_type Returns: An empty string if the character sequence is not a valid collating element A sequence of characters that represents the collating element consisting of the character sequence designated by the iterator range [F1, F2) otherwise
v.lookup_classname(F1, F2, b) X::char_class_type Converts the character sequence designated by the iterator range [F1, F2) into a value of a BitmaskType that can subsequently be passed to isctype Values returned from lookup_classname can be bitwise or'ed together; the resulting value represents membership in either of the corresponding character classes If b is true, the returned bitmask is suitable for matching characters without regard to their case. Returns ​0​ if the character sequence is not the name of a character class recognized by X. The value returned shall be independent of the case of the characters in the sequence.
v.isctype(c, cl) bool Returns: whether c is a member of one of the character classes designated by cl or not.
v.value(c, I) int Returns: The value represented by the digit c in base I if the character c is a valid digit in base I -1 otherwise
u.imbue(loc) X::locale_type Imbues u with the locale loc Returns: The previous locale used by u if any
v.getloc() X::locale_type Returns: The previous locale used by v if any.

[edit] Standard library

RegexTraits is satisfied by the following standard library classes:

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