RegExp.prototype not an instance web compatibility workaround#511
Merged
Conversation
This patch makes a change to ES2015 RegExp semantics to prevent certain property accesses and method calls from throwing. Although the feature testing patterns here are dispreferred, they were found necessary to ensure web compatibility of ES2015-based RegExp semantics with respect to old versions of certain libraries. This closes tc39#262.

If SameValue... is true, I think :)

Also, "then return undefined" is probably more consistent.

undefined is correct I think (tho maybe I am missing what you were saying)

Whoops, didn't mean to go through with the merge (was just testing the new setting). I will fix up the style issues I noted now. |
