Detailed Description
In order to properly set a regular expression's encoding and to validate the byte sequence for the underlying encoding we must process any escape sequences.
The unescaped byte sequence will be stored in buffer just like for other string-like types. However, we also need to store the regular expression's source string. That string may be different from what we see during lexing because some escape sequences rewrite the source.
This value will only be initialized for regular expressions and only if we receive an escape sequence. It will contain the regular expression's source string's byte sequence.
The documentation for this struct was generated from the following file:
- src/prism.c
