Bug ID: 68450
Summary: regex matching different from ECMAScript?
Product: gcc
Version: 4.9.2
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: lcoquelle at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---

Code sample
Using a complex regex to remove comment in JSON file (...), the behaviour seems
to differ from ECMAScript.
FYI: boost::regex 1.59 seems to have the correct behaviour.
Regex: ((['"])(?:(?!\2|\\).|\\.)*\2)|\/\/[^\n]*|\/\*(?:[^*]|\*(?!\/))*\*\/
(can be try here: https://regex101.com/r/vI2iW5/2#javascript)
Input string: "Entry": "Value", // Skip "me"
Expected output: "Entry": "Value",
Real output: "Entry": "Value", // Skip "me"
Attached a code sample.
Compiling output as below:
