By using regex::AllFlags::SkipTrimEmptyMatches we get a null string for
unmatched capture groups, which we then turn into an undefined entry in
the result array instead of putting all matches first and appending
undefined for the remaining number of capture groups - e.g. for
/foo(ba((r)|(z)))/.exec("foobaz")
we now return
["foobaz", "baz", "z", undefined, "z"]
and not [
["foobaz", "baz", "z", "z", undefined]
Fixes part of #6042.
Also happens to fix selecting an element by ID using jQuery's $("#foo").
This only applies to the ECMA262 parser.
This behaviour is an ECMA262-specific quirk, such references always
generate zero-length matches (even on subsequent passes).
Also adds a test in LibJS's test suite.
Fixes#6039.
This was not implementing the following part of the spec correctly:
27. For each integer i such that i ≥ 1 and i ≤ n, do
a. Let captureI be ith element of r's captures List.
b. If captureI is undefined, let capturedValue be undefined.
Expecting a capture group match to exist for each of the RegExp's
capture groups would assert in Vector's operator[] if that's not the
case, for example:
/(foo)(bar)?/.exec("foo")
Append undefined instead.
Fixes#5256.
