Regex literals and new RegExp calls accept the v (unicode sets) flag, which
the vendored engine implements: class subtraction and intersection, nested
classes, \q{...} string literals and properties of strings. The flag uses
unicode mode for pattern decoding and string iteration, and flags read in
getter order (dgimsuvy). Regex literals now also report their flags in
getter order, as Node does for /x/yg, and the flag getters (global,
unicodeSets and the rest) compile on statically typed regexes.
In v mode the engine rejected `-` and doubled punctuation outside a
character class, and the `\-` escape inside \q{...}. It now applies the
class-only checks inside classes and \q{...} only, and parses \q{...}
contents with the class escapes, matching Node. The d flag is still
refused.
- JavaScript calls of Promise.withResolvers' resolve/reject through the
record no longer fail with an internal compiler error.
- new RegExp with the d or v flag is refused (SC1120) for literal flags
and throws a named error for computed flags, instead of SyntaxError.
- JavaScript .groups reads on matches whose regex is not traceable are
refused like TypeScript's, instead of reading undefined.
- Iterator helpers on the string iterator are refused instead of
failing at run time.
