In many engines, functions .name property non-writable non-configurable, so, I think, it would be better just remove it.

For better compression, use named functions only when they should have the same explicit .name property (like match above).

Please, add a comment that it's AdvanceStringIndex abstract operation and the link to the spec.

Are you sure that this test also covers all engines without internal execution of .exec method? Maybe makes sense extend it?

In RegExpExec, own .exec should be called only if it's callable. Maybe makes sense to implement RegExpExec abstract operation?

It should return a negative result for the existent feature. Use, for example,

re[SYMBOL](''); return !execCalled;

Isn't it faster if it avoid throwing an error?

It's just an example. The main idea of the comment - the result should be inverted.

This test throws an uncaught stack overflow error in the promises tests and I'm not sure why.

@zloirock I manages to make the tests pass. Could you review this PR again?

DmitrySoshnikov · 2018-08-22T08:08:23Z

Hey guys, is this PR good to go yet? Is there still anything blocking?

nicolo-ribaudo · 2018-08-28T10:51:29Z

@zloirock Since Babel uses core-js@2, can I backport this PR?

@nicolo-ribaudo feel free to add the same PR to v2 branch and I'll publish a new core-js@2 version. But let's land this PR at first.

zloirock · 2018-08-28T18:21:48Z

I'll review it today or tomorrow. Could you rebase it?

zloirock · 2018-08-28T18:33:06Z

At first sight, LGTM.

Just for curiosity, do you have multiple versions of chrome installed on the same machine?

zloirock · 2018-09-27T10:33:56Z

I use Saucelabs and run tests in all available browsers before releases.

EDIT: Ok, I'm downloading windows, ie8, chrome 50 and chrome 51. Hopefully I will be able to debug the issue 😆

@nicolo-ribaudo RegExp#@@replace correctly handles substitutions tests fails in many browsers - for example, in modern FF. Could you fix it?

Which firefox version? I can't reproduce it.

I'm writing down some notes for myself

The tests are failing on IE8 because this code:
```
var re = /a/;
re.exec("a");
re.lastIndex;
```
Should evaluate to 0 (it works in Chrome) but evaluates to 1 in IE8.

Another reason:
```
/^(?:(.)?(.)?)/g.exec(".")[2];
```
should be undefined but returns "".

The tests are failing on Chrome 51 because native split doesn't work with patched
RegExp#exec: these two snippets should produce the same output but they don't.

"ab".split(/a*?/);

> ["a", "b"]

var exec = RegExp.prototype.exec;
RegExp.prototype.exec = function () { return exec.apply(this, arguments); };
"ab".split(/a*?/);

> ["ab"]

The tests are failing on Chrome 50 because the polyfilled RegExp#@@match,
since .exec hasn't been modified, calls String#match assuming that it
won't call RegExp#@@match again (this assumption is wrong).
Safari - TODO

Conclusion: I also need to polyfill .exec 🤦‍♂️

zloirock · 2018-11-11T11:04:40Z

@nicolo-ribaudo

Which firefox version? I can't reproduce it.

IIRC it was fixed in #434

nicolo-ribaudo · 2018-11-12T00:28:47Z

@zloirock In order to fix some IE8 failing tests, I need to fix this IE bug:

> /^(a?)/.exec("")
["", ""] // correct

> /^(a)?/.exec("")
> ["", ""] // wrong, should be ["", undefined]

I don't think that it is possible, unless we re-implement the regexp engine. Could I disable an assertion on IE8?

PS. For now I got it working in Chrome 50 & 51 and I'm trying to install Safari in a VM.

EDIT: Fixing the IE bug is possible
