New issue 1982 by [email protected]: RegExp.source should return a valid
pattern for an empty RegExp
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=1982
(new RegExp()).source now returns '(:?)' in JSC, whereas it returns '' in
V8.
JSC just changed their behavior, see
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79938 for their reasoning (the
short answer is that it matches the pattern generated by toString()).
For now I'm suppressing this failure in V8 WebKit layout tests. If you
disagree with the reasoning in the WebKit bug, please ping back so we can
fix the WebKit test.
