demo code

For some regexes with backreferences and optional groupings, for example, the regex /(a)?(b)\1/ should not match the string &quot;b&quot;, but JavaScriptCore determines the regex /(a)?(b)\1/ matching the string &quot;b&quot;.
  

It should be pointed out that the semantics of the regex /(a)?(b)\1/ and the regex /(a?)(b)\1/ are different. Specifically, the regex /(a)?(b)\1/ does not match the string &quot;b&quot;, and the regex /(a?)(b)\1/ matches the string &quot;b&quot;.</thetext>
