The error_type is a type that describes errors that may occur during regular expression parsing.

Constants

Constant	Explanation
error_collate	the expression contains an invalid collating element name
error_ctype	the expression contains an invalid character class name
error_escape	the expression contains an invalid escaped character or a trailing escape
error_backref	the expression contains an invalid back reference
error_brack	the expression contains mismatched square brackets ('[' and ']')
error_paren	the expression contains mismatched parentheses ('(' and ')')
error_brace	the expression contains mismatched curly braces ('{' and '}')
error_badbrace	the expression contains an invalid range in a {} expression
error_range	the expression contains an invalid character range (e.g. [b-a])
error_space	there was not enough memory to convert the expression into a finite state machine
error_badrepeat	one of *?+{ was not preceded by a valid regular expression
error_complexity	the complexity of an attempted match exceeded a predefined level
error_stack	there was not enough memory to perform a match

Notes

In C++11, these constants were specified with redundant keyword static, which was removed by C++14 via LWG issue 2053
