disallow not strictly valid regular expressions

📖 Rule Details

This rule disallows not strictly valid regular expressions.

An invalid pattern in a regular expression literal is a SyntaxError when the code is parsed. However, it is not always strictly checked.

Depending on the syntax defined in Annex B of the ECMAScript specification, some ambiguous pattern syntax may also succeed in parsing as a valid pattern. This rule reports these ambiguous patterns.

🔧 Options

Nothing.
