<P>
The algorithm regex _match determines whether a given regular expression
matches all of a given character sequence denoted by a pair of
bidirectional-iterators, the algorithm is defined as follows, the main use of
this function is data input validation.
<P><STRONG>Note that the result is true only if the expression matches the whole of
the input sequence.&nbsp;</STRONG> If you want to search for an expression
somewhere within the sequence then use <A href="regex_search.html">regex_search</A>.&nbsp;
If you want to match a prefix of the character string then use <A href="regex_search.html">
regex_search</A> with the flag <A href="match_flag_type.html">match_continuous</A>
set.

<P><B> Requires:</B> Type BidirectionalIterator meets the requirements of a
Bidirectional Iterator (24.1.4).</P>
<P><B> Effects: </B>Determines whether there is an exact match between the regular
expression <I>e</I>, and all of the character sequence [first, last), parameter <I>
flags</I> is used to <A href="match_flag_type.html">control how the expression
is matched</A> against the character sequence. Returns true if such a match
exists, false otherwise.</P>
<P><STRONG>Throws:</STRONG> <code>std::runtime_error</code> if the complexity of
matching the expression against an N character string begins to exceed O(N<SUP>2</SUP>),
or if the program runs out of stack space while matching the expression (if
2003-05-17 11:45:48 +00:00
Boost.regex is <A href="configuration.html">configured</A> in recursive mode),
or if the matcher exhausts it's permitted memory allocation (if Boost.regex is <A href="configuration.html">
configured</A> in non-recursive mode).</P>
<P><B> Postconditions: </B>If the function returns false, then the effect on
parameter <I>m</I> is undefined, otherwise the effects on parameter <I>m</I> are
given in the table:</P>
