Constructs a new `regex_iterator`:

1) Default constructor. Constructs an end-of-sequence iterator.
2) Constructs a `regex_iterator` from the sequence of characters `[a, b)`, the regular expression `re`, and a flag `m` that governs matching behavior. This constructor performs an initial call to std::regex_search with this data. If the result of this initial call is false, *this is set to an end-of-sequence iterator.
3) Copies a `regex_iterator`.
4) The overload 2 is not allowed to be called with a temporary regex, since the returned iterator would be immediately invalidated.

### Parameters

a | - | `BidirIt` to the beginning of the target character sequence
b | - | `BidirIt` to the end of the target character sequence
re | - | regular expression used to search the target character sequence
m | - | flags that govern the behavior of `re`
