<p>
Regular expressions are different from many simple pattern-matching algorithms
in that as well as finding an overall match they can also produce sub-expression
matches: each sub-expression being delimited in the pattern by a pair of
parenthesis (...). There has to be some method for reporting sub-expression
matches back to the user: this is achieved this by defining a class <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">match_results</span></code> that acts as an indexed collection
of sub-expression matches, each sub-expression match being contained in an
object of type <a class="link" href="sub_match.html" title="sub_match"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">sub_match</span></code></a>.
</p>
<p>
Template class <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">match_results</span></code>
denotes a collection of character sequences representing the result of a
regular expression match. Objects of type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">match_results</span></code>
are passed to the algorithms <a class="link" href="regex_match.html" title="regex_match"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">regex_match</span></code></a> and <a class="link" href="regex_search.html" title="regex_search"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">regex_search</span></code></a>, and are returned by
the iterator <a class="link" href="regex_iterator.html" title="regex_iterator"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">regex_iterator</span></code></a>. Storage for the
collection is allocated and freed as necessary by the member functions of
class <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">match_results</span></code>.
</p>
<p>
The template class <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">match_results</span></code>
conforms to the requirements of a Sequence, as specified in (lib.sequence.reqmts),
except that only operations defined for const-qualified Sequences are supported.
</p>
<p>
Class template <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">match_results</span></code>
is most commonly used as one of the typedefs <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">cmatch</span></code>,
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">wcmatch</span></code>, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">smatch</span></code>,
or <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">wsmatch</span></code>:

<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
<li class="listitem">
sub_match occupies more memory resulting in complex expressions running
out of memory or stack space more quickly during matching.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
The matching algorithms are less efficient at handling some features
(independent sub-expressions for example), even when match_extra is not
used.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
The matching algorithms are much less efficient (i.e. slower), when match_extra
is used. Mostly this is down to the extra memory allocations that have
to take place.
