template<class BidIt>
bool operator<(const sub_match<BidIt>& left,
const typename iterator_traits<BidIt>::value_type& right);
Parameters
BidIt
The iterator type.IOtraits
The string traits class.Alloc
The allocator class.left
The left object to compare.right
The right object to compare.
Remarks
Each template operator converts its arguments to a string type and returns true only if the converted value of left compares less than the converted value of right.
