--- Comment #3 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
sregex_iterator::operator->() yields a smatch_results and smatch_results::str()
yields a temporary string.

The reason is that smatch_results doesn't contain strings, it contains
iterators into some other string. When you want to retrieve a match it
constructs a new string from the relevant iterators. That avoids having to
construct all the strings up front when they may never be needed.
