There are two issues with XRegExp and core-js I noticed recently:
1) On core-js@3.6.4 this script causes endless loop:
import 'core-js/features/regexp';
import XRegExp from 'xregexp';
window['XRegExp'] = XRegExp; // only to test some patterns in dev tools console
When using core-js@3.5.0 everything works fine.
2) Pattern that is working fine in core-js@3.5.0 now breaks (the \s, whitechar range, is gone)
I'm trying to test the following code:
import XRegExp from 'xregexp';
window['XRegExp'] = XRegExp;
console.log(XRegExp('(^((?=[uuuuuuuuu\\sxxxxxxxxx\\p{L}\\p{N}\\p{P}\\p{S}\\p{M}/])[^;\\\\<>{}])*$)|(^$)'))
console.log(XRegExp('(^((?=[uuuuuuuuu\\sxxxxxxxxx\\p{L}\\p{N}\\p{P}\\p{S}\\p{M}/])[^;\\\\<>{}])*$)|(^$)').test('test me'));
Both uuu... and xxx... added only to see effects in the browser)
And I see two different regexp patterns that got built by xregexp:
core-js@3.5.0 - spaces work fine
core-js@3.6.4 - spaces break the pattern (notice lack of x chars and \s at the beginning)
