Bug 101013 – Lexer::scanRegExp, create 8 bit pattern and flag Identifiers from 16 bit source when possible

• Component: JavaScriptCore
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Michael Saboff]

scanRegExp() currently creates Identifiers of the same bitness as the source.  Many regular expressions in 16 bit sources consist of only 8 bit characters.

I don’t think the static here has any effect anything.

Don’t we want static here?

Don’t we want static here?

It’s awkward that “or all chars” is a verb phrase. I’d suggest a noun phrase, "charactersOredTogether" or something like that.

I think it provide the same file scoping as it would to a normal function declaration.  I'll verify by looking at the exported symbols from the .o file.

No, the static can't be with the explicit specialization.  The compiler flags an error.

No.  Ditto.

Will do.

[Michael Saboff]

I tried the template declaration with and without the "static".  With the static, the symbols for the two instance are local, but without the static they are global.
