std::match_results::ready(3)   C++ Standard Libary  std::match_results::ready(3)

NAME
     std::match_results::ready - std::match_results::ready

Synopsis
	bool ready() const;  (since C++11)

	Indicates if the match results are ready (valid) or not.

	A  default-constructed	match result has no result state (is not ready),
     and can only
	be made ready by one of the regex algorithms. The  ready  state  implies
     that all match
	results have been fully established.

	The  result of calling most member functions of the match_results object
     that is not
	ready is undefined.

Return value
	true if the match results are ready, false otherwise.

Example
     // Run this code

      #include <iostream>
      #include <regex>
      #include <string>

      int main()
      {
	  std::string target("pattern");
	  std::smatch sm;
	  std::cout << "default constructed smatch is "
		    << (sm.ready() ? "ready\n" : "not ready\n");

	  std::regex re1("tte");
	  std::regex_search(target, sm, re1);

	  std::cout << "after search, smatch is "
		    << (sm.ready() ? "ready\n" : "not ready\n");
      }

Output:
      default constructed smatch is not ready
      after search, smatch is ready
