The class template std::match_results holds a collection of character sequences that represent the result of a regular expression match.
This is a specialized allocator-aware container. It can only be default created, obtained from std::regex_iterator, or modified by std::regex_search or std::regex_match. Because std::match_results holds std::sub_matches, each of which is a pair of iterators into the original character sequence that was matched, it's undefined behavior to examine std::match_results if the original character sequence was destroyed or iterators to it were invalidated for other reasons.
The first sub_match (index 0) contained in a match_result always represents the full match within a target sequence made by a regex, and subsequent sub_matches represent sub-expression matches corresponding in sequence to the left parenthesis delimiting the sub-expression in the regex.
