public member function
<regex>
unsigned mark_count() const;
Return number of marked sub-expressions
Returns the number of explicitly marked sub-expressions in the basic_regex.
This corresponds to the number of sub-expressions that should be captured in a match_results object used with this basic_regex object, but without including the eventual match of the whole expression (only the in-parentheses sub-expressions are counted).
Return value
The number of marked sub-expressions.

Output:
The pattern captures 2 sub-expressions.
Ok, all sub-expressions captured.
Matched expression: subject
Sub-expression 1: sub
Sub-expression 2: ject
