[section:non_std_strings Interfacing With Non-Standard String Types]
|
|
|
|
The Boost.Regex algorithms and iterators are all iterator-based,
|
|
with convenience overloads of the algorithms provided that convert
|
|
standard library string types to iterator pairs internally. If you want
|
|
to search a non-standard string type then the trick is to convert that string
|
|
into an iterator pair: so far I haven't come across any string types that
|
|
can't be handled this way, even if they're not officially iterator based.
|
|
Certainly any string type that provides access to it's internal buffer, along
|
|
with it's length, can be converted into a pair of pointers (which can be
|
|
used as iterators).
|
|
|
|
Some non-standard string types are sufficiently common that wrappers have been
|
|
provided for them already: currently this includes the ICU and MFC string class
|
|
types.
