Comment #1 on issue 287 by erik.corry: Long, complex regexp pattern (in WebKit layout test) hangs http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=287
This is pretty much as expected. The regexp takes exponential time to run so we keep running it. We have considered having some sort of timeout, however there are a multitude of ways to write JS code that doesn't terminate before the universe dies. All the others are not handled in any special way so it feels a bit wrong to treat this case differently. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
