To clarify: Both statements true. The Javascript implementation uses the RegExp object, which is implemented in V8 using the ICU regex matcher. Our C++ implementation uses the ICU RegexMatcher directly.
The C++ implementation is the one that is commonly used. The JS implementation is merely a fallback for the case that some other expression caused a native data structure to be converted to a V8 object already - using JavaScript is faster than converting back to a native data structure and possibly back to V8 once more. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ArangoDB" group.
