I am not looking to make trouble here, believe me, but I want to point out two things that could help David's case:
1. JS regexps were modeled by me (to lwall's horror ;-) on Perl regexen. Here's what perl (5.8.8) does: $ perl "aaab" =~ /(a\1)+|b/; print "$& ($1)\n"; b () It's no surprise JavaScriptCore agrees, since it is based on PCRE. Tamarin is too -- do you know what it does? 2. IE JScript does not agree with any of Perl/JavaScriptCore or ES3 and conformant implementations. That does not mean it should prevail for this edge case. But it does suggest we could change to match Perl, and match David's two-person (three counting him; perhaps four if I count ;-) developer sample. /be _______________________________________________ Es4-discuss mailing list Es4-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es4-discuss
