Bug 151598 – HTML `pattern` attribute should set `u` flag for regular expressions

• Component: Forms
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Mathias Bynens]

As soon as support for the `u` flag is completed, it should be enabled for the HTML `pattern` attribute as well.

Spec: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/forms.html#the-pattern-attribute

“If an input element has a pattern attribute specified, and the attribute's value, when compiled as a JavaScript regular expression with only the "u" flag specified, compiles successfully, then the resulting regular expression is the element's compiled pattern regular expression. If the element has no such attribute, or if the value doesn't compile successfully, then the element has no compiled pattern regular expression.”

This is already available in stable Firefox and it will ship in Chrome 53 and Opera 40.

This is now shipped in stable versions of Firefox, Chrome, and Opera. Please implement and ship this as soon as possible to avoid annoying interoperability issues.

I thought we should be careful for performance regression, but right now, RegularExpression pattern matching in WebCore is in slow path (not using YarrJIT yet). So I think it is ok if Speedometer does not show regressions.

s/UnicodeCodePointMode/UnicodeMode/g? It’s simpler, but also more accurate since the `u` flag has more effects than just clustering by Unicode code point.

Yeah, it switches the parsing of RegExp actually. I've changed it to UnicodeMode.
