353000 - RegExp literal after "catch" block is considered a syntax error

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

Similar to bug 352649, but not fixed by the current patch in bug 346642.

js> function() { try{}catch(e){} (/g/.x) }
function () {
    try {
    } catch (e) {
    }
    /g/.x;
}

js> function() { try{}catch(e){} /g/.x }       
SyntaxError: syntax error: [...]

Works correctly if I have a "finally" block instead of a "catch" block.

Fixed on trunk because "prep patch for plan A, v9d" in bug 346642 was checked in.

Not sure this test is correct|sufficient as I can not get it to fail on 20060914, 20060916 or 20060917 builds.
