Comment #5 on issue 3878 by [email protected]: RangeError running RegExp
on large string
https://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=3878
This is working as intended. This particular regular expression requires
backtracking. This means that values have to be pushed onto a stack, which
grows proportionally to the subject string as long as there is no match.
V8 implements that stack on the heap, which grows on-demand. The limit
however is at 64MB, which is hit in this case.
In #4 the regular expression is changed so that it fails early, which
avoids the backtracking that comes later. That's why it returns false
instead of throwing.
Firefox uses the same RegExp engine has has the same issue.
