std::regex_traits<CharT>::value: std::regex_traits<CharT>::value

NAME

std::regex_traits<CharT>::value - std::regex_traits<CharT>::value

Synopsis

int value( CharT ch, int radix ) const; (since C++11)

Determines the value represented by the digit ch in the numeric base radix, given the currently imbued locale. This function is called by std::regex when processing Quantifiers such as {1} or {2,5}, Backreferences such as \1, and hexadecimal and Unicode character escapes.

Parameters

ch - the character that may represent a digit
radix - either 8, 10, or 16

Return value

The numeric value if ch indeed represents a digit in the currently imbued locale that is valid for the numeric base radix, or -1 on error.

Example

// Run this code

  #include <iostream>
  #include <locale>
  #include <regex>
  #include <map>

  // This custom regex traits allows japanese numerals
  struct jnum_traits : std::regex_traits<wchar_t>
  {
      static std::map<wchar_t, int> data;
      int value(wchar_t ch, int radix ) const {
          wchar_t up = std::toupper(ch, getloc());
          return data.count(up) ? data[up] : regex_traits::value(ch, radix);
      }
  };
  std::map<wchar_t, int> jnum_traits::data = {{L'〇',0}, {L'一',1}, {L'二',2},
                                              {L'三',3}, {L'四',4}, {L'五',5},
                                              {L'六',6}, {L'七',7}, {L'八',8},
                                              {L'九',9}, {L'Ａ',10}, {L'Ｂ',11},
                                              {L'Ｃ',12}, {L'Ｄ',13}, {L'Ｅ',14},
                                              {L'Ｆ',15}};
  int main()
  {
      std::locale::global(std::locale("ja_JP.utf8"));
      std::wcout.sync_with_stdio(false);
      std::wcout.imbue(std::locale());

      std::wstring in = L"風";

      if(std::regex_match(in, std::wregex(L"\\u98a8")))
          std::wcout << "\\u98a8 matched " << in << '\n';

      if(std::regex_match(in, std::basic_regex<wchar_t, jnum_traits>(L"\\u九八ａ八")))
          std::wcout << L"\\u九八ａ八 with custom traits matched " << in << '\n';
  }

Output:

  \u98a8 matched 風
  \u九八ａ八 with custom traits matched 風
