--- Comment #6 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to Andreas Schwab from comment #4) > \ is not special inside bracket expressions, [b\-a] means b and the range > between \ and a. If you want to include a - in a bracket expression, put it > first or last. That's true for POSIX BREs and EREs, but for ECMAScript escaping the dash should work (and does on trunk).
