This code sections shows the ways to call the RegExp constructor to create a new object

/ab+c/i;
new RegExp('ab+c', 'i');
new RegExp(/ab+c/, 'i');

I found this part "new RegExp(/ab+c/, 'i');" will throw "TypeError: Cannot supply flags when constructing one RegExp from another." I believe the correct syntax for this format is to include the flag on the end of the regex. In this case, "new RegExp(/ab+c/i);"

Hi, 

I tried to reproduce the TypeError but everything works fine for me. 

Can you please provide more information?
