std::sub_match<BidirIt>:: compare

From cppreference.com
int compare ( const sub_match & m ) const ;
(1) (since C++11)
int compare ( const string_type & s ) const ;
(2) (since C++11)
int compare ( const value_type * c ) const ;
(3) (since C++11)
1) Compares two sub_match directly by comparing their underlying character sequences. Equivalent to str ( ) . compare ( m. str ( ) ) .
2) Compares a sub_match with a std::basic_string . Equivalent to str ( ) . compare ( s ) .
3) Compares a sub_match with a null-terminated sequence of the underlying character type pointed to by s . Equivalent to str ( ) . compare ( c ) .

This function is infrequently used directly by application code. Instead, one of the non-member comparison operators is used.

Parameters

m - a reference to another sub_match
s - a reference to a string to compare to
c - a pointer to a null-terminated character sequence of the underlying value_type to compare to

Return value

A value less than zero if this sub_match is less than the other character sequence, zero if the both underlying character sequences are equal, greater than zero if this sub_match is greater than the other character sequence.
