Compares a sub_match to another sub_match, a string, a null-terminated character sequence or a character.

1-7) Compares two sub_match directly by comparing their underlying character sequences. Implemented as if by lhs.compare(rhs).

8-20) Compares a sub_match with a std::basic_string. Implemented as if by sm.compare(typename sub_match<BidirIt>::string_type(st.data(), st.size()).

21-33) Compares a sub_match with a null-terminated string. Implemented as if by sm.compare(s).

34-46) Compares a sub_match with a character. Implemented as if by sm.compare(typename sub_match<BidirIt>::string_type(1, ch)).

The return type of three-way comparison operators (/*comp-cat*/) is std::compare_three_way_result_t<typename std::sub_match<BidirIt>::string_type>>, i.e. std::char_traits<typename std::iterator_traits<BidirIt>::value_type>::comparison_category if that qualified-id is valid and denotes a type, std::weak_ordering otherwise. If /*comp-cat*/ is not a comparison category type, the program is ill-formed. The <, <=, >, >=, and != operators are synthesized from operator<=> and operator== respectively.

(since C++20)

Parameters

lhs, rhs, sm	-	a sub_match to compare
st	-	a basic_string to compare
s	-	a pointer to a null-terminated string to compare
ch	-	a character to compare

Return value

For operator==, (since C++20)true if the corresponding comparison holds as defined by std::sub_match::compare(), false otherwise.

For operator<=>, static_cast</*comp-cat*/>(/*comp-res*/ <=> 0), where /*comp-res*/ is the result of std::sub_match::compare() described above.

(since C++20)

Notes

If value type of BidirIt is char, wchar_t, char8_t, char16_t, or char32_t, the return type of operator<=> is std::strong_ordering.

(since C++20)
