Description

Annex B.1.4 contains exceptions that allow web browsers to diverge from the normal RegExp grammar. These exceptions aren't allowed when the "unicode" flag is present, but our current implementation doesn't take this into account.

There are many exceptions, but a few examples would be:

  • PatternCharacter: {
  • CharacterClassEscape: [\d-a]
  • DecimalEscape: \3 when the number of capturing parentheses is less than 3
  • IdentityEscape: \h, \u
  • QuantifiableAssertion Quantifier: (?!.)+

The above should throw a SyntaxError when used as, e.g.,/{/u
