Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Tamarin Graveyard :: Virtual Machine, defect)

Description

Attachment: test.as

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:8.0a2) Gecko/20110901 Firefox/8.0a2
Build ID: 20110901042012

Steps to reproduce:

(Sorry for my English)
I'm trying to  match a string containing "\u" with regexp,the code is simple:
package
{
	import flash.display.Sprite;
	import flash.text.TextField;
	
	public class test extends Sprite
	{
		public function test()
		{
			var tf:TextField = new TextField();
			addChild(tf);
			var str:String = "\\u000000";
			var reg:RegExp = /\\u.*/g;
			tf.text = str.match(reg).length.toString();
		}
	}
}


Actual results:

It seems that nothing matched. When debugging this program, I found that reg.source is "\\u.*" which should be "\\\\u.*".
If I replace "var reg:RegExp = /\\u.*/g;" with "var reg:RegExp = new RegExp("\\\\u.*"","g");", it works well



Expected results:

I expected to see 1 on screen, but I saw 0
