3129. regex_token_iterator constructor uses wrong pointer arithmetic

Discussion:

The specification of regex_token_iterator for the overload taking a const int (&submatchs)[N] uses the range [&submatches, &submatches + N). This is obviously incorrect; we want to perform pointer arithmetic on a pointer to the first element of that array, not a pointer to the whole array.

[2018-07-20 Status to Tentatively Ready after five positive votes on the reflector.]

[2018-11, Adopted in San Diego]

Proposed resolution:

This wording is relative to N4750.

1. Change 28.6.11.2.2 [re.tokiter.cnstr] p3 as indicated:

   regex_token_iterator(BidirectionalIterator a, BidirectionalIterator b,
                        const regex_type& re,
                        int submatch = 0,
                        regex_constants::match_flag_type m = regex_constants::match_default);
   
   regex_token_iterator(BidirectionalIterator a, BidirectionalIterator b,
                        const regex_type& re,
                        const vector<int>& submatches,
                        regex_constants::match_flag_type m = regex_constants::match_default);
   
   regex_token_iterator(BidirectionalIterator a, BidirectionalIterator b,
                        const regex_type& re,
                        initializer_list<int> submatches,
                        regex_constants::match_flag_type m = regex_constants::match_default);
   
   template<size_t N>
     regex_token_iterator(BidirectionalIterator a, BidirectionalIterator b,
                          const regex_type& re,
                          const int (&submatches)[N],
                          regex_constants::match_flag_type m = regex_constants::match_default);
   

   -2- Requires: […]

   -3- Effects: The first constructor initializes the member subs to hold the single value submatch. The second constructor initializes the member subs to hold a copy of the argument submatches. The second, third and fourth constructors initialize the member subs to hold a copy of the sequence of integer values pointed to by the iterator range [submatches.begin(), submatches.end()) and [&submatches, &submatches + N), respectively[begin(submatches), end(submatches)).
