    typedef sub_match<BidIt> value_type;
    typedef const typename Alloc::const_reference const_reference;
    typedef const_reference reference;
    typedef T0 const_iterator;
    typedef const_iterator iterator;
    typedef typename iterator_traits<BidIt>::difference_type difference_type;

    typedef Alloc allocator_type;
    typedef typename iterator_traits<BidIt>::value_type char_type;
    typedef basic_string<char_type> string_type;
    };

Parameters

• BidIt
  The iterator type for submatches.

• Alloc
  The type of an allocator for managing storage.

Remarks

The template class describes an object that controls a non-modifiable sequence of elements of type sub_match<BidIt> generated by a regular expression search. Each element points to the subsequence that matched the capture group corresponding to that element.
