.SS "constexpr \fBsyntax_option_type\fP std::regex_constants::icase\fC [inline]\fP, \fC [constexpr]\fP"
Specifies that the matching of regular expressions against a character sequence shall be performed without regard to case\&. 
.SS "constexpr \fBmatch_flag_type\fP std::regex_constants::match_any\fC [inline]\fP, \fC [constexpr]\fP"
If more than one match is possible then any match is an acceptable result\&. 
.SS "constexpr \fBmatch_flag_type\fP std::regex_constants::match_continuous\fC [inline]\fP, \fC [constexpr]\fP"
The expression only matches a sub-sequence that begins at first \&. 
.SS "constexpr \fBmatch_flag_type\fP std::regex_constants::match_default\fC [inline]\fP, \fC [constexpr]\fP"
The default matching rules\&. 
.SS "constexpr \fBmatch_flag_type\fP std::regex_constants::match_not_bol\fC [inline]\fP, \fC [constexpr]\fP"
The first character in the sequence [first, last) is treated as though it is not at the beginning of a line, so the character (^) in the regular expression shall not match [first, first)\&. 
.SS "constexpr \fBmatch_flag_type\fP std::regex_constants::match_not_bow\fC [inline]\fP, \fC [constexpr]\fP"
The expression \\b is not matched against the sub-sequence [first,first)\&. 
.SS "constexpr \fBmatch_flag_type\fP std::regex_constants::match_not_eol\fC [inline]\fP, \fC [constexpr]\fP"
The last character in the sequence [first, last) is treated as though it is not at the end of a line, so the character ($) in the regular expression shall not match [last, last)\&. 
.SS "constexpr \fBmatch_flag_type\fP std::regex_constants::match_not_eow\fC [inline]\fP, \fC [constexpr]\fP"
The expression \\b should not be matched against the sub-sequence [last,last)\&. 
.SS "constexpr \fBmatch_flag_type\fP std::regex_constants::match_not_null\fC [inline]\fP, \fC [constexpr]\fP"
The expression does not match an empty sequence\&. 
.SS "constexpr \fBmatch_flag_type\fP std::regex_constants::match_prev_avail\fC [inline]\fP, \fC [constexpr]\fP"
--first is a valid iterator position\&. When this flag is set then the flags match_not_bol and match_not_bow are ignored by the regular expression algorithms 28\&.11 and iterators 28\&.12\&. 
.SS "constexpr \fBsyntax_option_type\fP std::regex_constants::nosubs\fC [inline]\fP, \fC [constexpr]\fP"
Specifies that when a regular expression is matched against a character container sequence, no sub-expression matches are to be stored in the supplied match_results structure\&. 
.SS "constexpr \fBsyntax_option_type\fP std::regex_constants::optimize\fC [inline]\fP, \fC [constexpr]\fP"
Specifies that the regular expression engine should pay more attention to the speed with which regular expressions are matched, and less to the speed with which regular expression objects are constructed\&. Otherwise it has no detectable effect on the program output\&.
