regex_error::regex_error

Constructs the object.

regex_error(regex_constants::error_code error);

// compile with: /EHsc   
#include <regex>   
#include <iostream>   
  
int main()   
    {   
    std::regex_error paren(std::regex_constants::error_paren);   
  
    try   
        {   
        std::regex rx("(a");   
        }   
    catch (const std::regex_error& rerr)   
        {   
        std::cout << "regex error: "   
            << (rerr.code() == paren.code()   
                 "unbalanced parentheses" : "")   
            << std::endl;   
        }   
    catch (...)   
        {
