      The algorithm regex _match determines whether a given regular expression 
      matches all of a given character sequence denoted by a pair of 
      bidirectional-iterators, the algorithm is defined as follows, the main use of 
      this function is data input validation.
      <P><STRONG>Note that the result is true only if the expression matches the whole of 
            the input sequence.&nbsp;</STRONG> If you want to search for an expression 
         somewhere within the sequence then use <A href="regex_search.html">regex_search</A>.&nbsp; 
         If you want to match a prefix of the character string then use <A href="regex_search.html">
            regex_search</A> with the flag <A href="match_flag_type.html">match_continuous</A>
         set.

      <P><B> Requires:</B> Type BidirectionalIterator meets the requirements of a 
         Bidirectional Iterator (24.1.4).</P>
      <P><B> Effects: </B>Determines whether there is an exact match between the regular 
         expression <I>e</I>, and all of the character sequence [first, last), parameter <I>

      <P><STRONG>Throws:</STRONG> <code>std::runtime_error</code> if the complexity of 
         matching the expression against an N character string begins to exceed O(N<SUP>2</SUP>), 
         or if the program runs out of stack space while matching the expression (if 
         Boost.regex is <A href="configuration.html">configured</A> in recursive mode),
