Provide User-Friendly Message for Extended Unicode Escapes in Regular Expressions in Non-Unicode Modes

Open graphemecluster opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

This replaces the error message of /\u{10000}/ from Hexadecimal digit expected. to Unicode escape sequences are only available when the Unicode (u) flag or the Unicode Sets (v) flag is set. (message analogous to TS1530), as @k1tikurisu pointed out in his article [in Japanese] that it’s hard to understand the intention of the message.

I’ve reordered the commits and let the checks perform both before and after your suggested change to ensure everything works as expected. (But I don‘t understand why there’s an unrelated assertion error before the rerun.)
