#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std; 
int main()
{
    // match_results object(smatch)
    match_results<char*> match;
  
    cout << "max_size: " << 
    match.max_size() << endl;
  
    return 0;
}


Output:

max_size: 768614336404564650

Program2:




// C++ program to illustrate the 
// smatch::max_size() function in C++ STL
// when data-type is int 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std; 
int main()
{
    // match_results object(smatch)
    match_results<int*> match;
  
    cout << "max_size: " <<
