The error_type is a type that describes errors that may occur during regular expression parsing.
| 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 |
In C++11, these constants were specified with redundant keyword static, which was removed by C++14 via LWG issue 2053.

Text: "Invalid!"
Regex: "((.)(.)"
Parenthesis is not closed. (error_paren):
The expression contains mismatched parentheses ('(' and ')').
Text: "Invalid!"
Regex: "[."
Unexpected character in bracket expression. (error_brack):
The expression contains mismatched square brackets ('[' and ']').
Text: "Invalid!"
Regex: "[.]{}"
Unexpected token in brace expression. (error_badbrace):
The expression contains an invalid range in a {} expression.
Text: "Invalid!"
Regex: "[1-0]"
Invalid range in bracket expression. (error_range):
The expression contains an invalid character range (e.g. [b-a]).|
