std::match_...s::operator=(3)

okay so bestie, this is std::match_...s::operator=(3) from the C++ Standard Libary manual — manual name folded in right here, and we are about to understand assignment like it’s the group chat 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

• std::match_results::operator= - std::match_results::operator= — that’s the name, no cap ✨

✨ Synopsis ✨

Defined in header <regex> 🫶

match_results& operator=( const match_results& other );     (1)

(since C++11)

match_results& operator=( match_results&& other ) noexcept; (2)

(since C++11)

Assigns the contents. that’s the whole assignment vibe 💖

1. Copy assignment operator. Assigns the contents of other.
2. Move assignment operator. Assigns the contents of other using move semantics.

Also: other is in a valid, but unspecified state after the operation. valid but unspecified is the standard wording, periodt 💀

🌸 Parameters 🌸

• other — another match results object. that’s the whole parameter list, and it ate 🎀

🦋 Return value 🦋

*this — yes, it returns itself. main character energy, honestly 👑

🌈 Exceptions 🌈

1. May throw implementation-defined exceptions.

only overload (1) has this exception note. overload (2) is the noexcept one in the synopsis, so keep that distinction, bestie 💅
