gets the std::regex_constants::error_type for a regex_error
(public member function)

Inherited from std::exception

(virtual public member function of std::exception)

Example

#include <regex>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    try {
        std::regex re("[a-b][a");
    } 
 
    catch (const std::regex_error& e) {
        std::cout << "regex_error caught: " << e.what() << '\n';
        if (e.code() == std::regex_constants::error_brack) {
            std::cout << "The code was error_brack\n";
        }
    }
}

Possible output:

regex_error caught: The expression contained mismatched [ and ].
The code was error_brack
