Specificationhttps://github.com/tc39/proposal-regexp-v-flag

Summary

Add set operations, string literals, nested classes and unicode properties
of strings to regular expression character classes. Set operations and
unicode properties of strings allow developers to create regular
expressions matching strings with certain unicode characters with ease.
E.g. /[\p{Script_Extensions=Greek}&&\p{Letter}]/v matches all greek letters.

Risks


Interoperability and Compatibility

Covered by TC39 process: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-regexp-v-flag


*Gecko*: Positive (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1713657)
Assumed positive because this proposal is Stage 3 in TC39.

*WebKit*: Positive (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=241593) Assumed
positive because this proposal is Stage 3 in TC39.

*Web developers*: No signals

*Other signals*:

Activation

The new features are gated behind a new regular expression flag (/v). See
https://github.com/tc39/proposal-regexp-v-flag#is-the-new-syntax-backwards-compatible-do-we-need-another-regular-expression-flag


WebView application risks

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that
it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?



Debuggability

Uses existing debugging support for regular expressions. No additions
required.


Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac,
Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)?Yes

The feature is enabled for all platforms when compiled with internalization
support.


Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md>
?Covered by test262:
https://github.com/tc39/test262/tree/main/test/built-ins/RegExp/unicodeSets/generated

Flag name--harmony-regexp-unicode-sets

Requires code in //chrome?False

Non-OSS dependencies

Does the feature depend on any code or APIs outside the Chromium open
source repository and its open-source dependencies to function?
no

Planned to ship in M112


Anticipated spec changes

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or
interop issues. Please list open issues (e.g. links to known github issues
in the project for the feature specification) whose resolution may
introduce web compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to naming or structure of
the API in a non-backward-compatible way).
