compile: make Regex::new(r"(?-u:\B)") fail again#1007
Merged
Conversation
This regex failed to compile in `regex <1.8`, but the migration to regex-automata tweaked the rules in a subtle way that permitted it to compile despite the fact that the old/status-quo matching engines can't handle it correctly. By that, I mean that they may permit the \B to match between code units. That in turn results in panicking when slicing a &str. In `regex 1.9`, this regex will actually be able to be compiled, but the matching engines will correctly and robustly never report matches that split UTF-8 code units. For now, we just add code that causes `regex 1.8` to have the same behavior as previous releases. Fixes #1006
