Problem

  • Non-unicode /i does not fold the eight BMP simple case pairs added in Unicode 16 and 17, while /iu and String.prototype.toUpperCase (ICU 78) do, and V8 folds them under /i:

    /\u019b/i.test("\ua7dc")    // false, V8: true   (also /[\u019b]/i, backreferences, replace)
    /\u019b/iu.test("\ua7dc")   // true
    "\u019b".toUpperCase() === "\ua7dc"   // true with ICU 78

    Pairs: U+019B/U+A7DC, U+0264/U+A7CB, U+A7CC/U+A7CD, U+A7DA/U+A7DB, U+1C89/U+1C8A (Unicode 16), U+A7CE/U+A7CF, U+A7D2/U+A7D3, U+A7D4/U+A7D5 (Unicode 17). All sixteen code units are CanonicalizeUnique in Source/JavaScriptCore/yarr/YarrCanonicalizeUCS2.cpp.

  • Cause: the two /i modes get their tables differently. YarrCanonicalizeUnicode.cpp (/iu) is generated at build time from ucd/CaseFolding.txt, which is at 17.0.0 (CMakeLists.txt:2111). YarrCanonicalizeUCS2.cpp (/i) is a committed file produced by running yarr/YarrCanonicalizeUCS2.js in a JS shell, so it holds the case mappings of whatever ICU that shell had; its last data refresh predates the Unicode 16 mappings. Tools/Scripts/update-ucd only refreshes ucd/*.txt, so the 16.0.0 and 17.0.0 UCD updates did not touch it. Upstream WebKit main has the same stale table.

Fix

  • YarrCanonicalizeUCS2.cpp is replaced with the unmodified output of YarrCanonicalizeUCS2.js run under ICU 78.3 (Unicode 17). The diff is the sixteen code units above: U+019B/U+A7DC and U+0264/U+A7CB become RangeLo/RangeHi pairs, U+1C89/U+1C8A an unaligned alternating pair, and U+A7CC..U+A7DB one aligned alternating range (it absorbs the existing U+A7D0/1 and U+A7D6..9 pairs). Character sets, the range count (460) and latin1CanonicalizationTable are unchanged, so canonicalRangeInfoFor() and its users need no change.
  • Correctness of the whole table, not only the diff: the generator's output is byte-identical when run under two different engines on ICU 78.3 (JSC and V8), and an independent decoder of the committed table (walking the ranges the way YarrCanonicalize.h does) gives, for every one of the 65536 code units, the same equivalence set as the ES Canonicalize definition evaluated with ICU 78 (0 differences; the previous table had 16), and V8's /i accepts every pair the table encodes. Against the current engine, exactly the 16 new directions are rejected and nothing else changes.
  • Test: JSTests/stress/regexp-ignore-case-unicode-16-17-case-pairs.js checks the eight pairs in both directions as an atom, in a class, in a negated class, inside a longer atom, as a backreference and in replace, under /i and /iu, plus the neighbouring pairs whose ranges were merged or split (U+019A/U+023D, U+0263/U+0194, U+0265/U+A78D, U+A7D0/1, U+A7D6/7, U+A7D8/9, U+A7F5/6, U+1C88 with U+A64A/B), the unassigned or unrelated code units next to the new entries, and class ranges that contain one half of a pair while the tested character lies outside the range. It runs with the Yarr JIT on and off. It passes on V8 as written, and on the preview build of this PR with the Yarr JIT on and off; on the current engine it fails at its first assertion (U+19b/U+a7dc /i atom: expected true but got false), and with the new pairs removed it fails at the first class range assertion while the neighbouring-pair and unrelated assertions pass, so those describe behaviour this change keeps.
  • The branch is kept directly on top of the commit Bun pins (currently ceb9f90fb7; it has been rebased each time the pin moved), so the preview build is always that commit plus this change. Bump WebKit (oven-sh/WebKit#456 preview): non-unicode /i folds the case pairs added in Unicode 16 and 17 bun#39381 pins the preview build of this PR and adds the same checks to Bun's test suite (neither repo's CI runs JSTests); its test fails 10 of 39 cases on the current engine and passes against this build, and a sweep of Bun's /i over the whole BMP against the ES Canonicalize definition under ICU 78 goes from 16 differences to 0.

Background

  • Non-unicode /i (ES Canonicalize without the u flag) compares code units after mapping each one with toUpperCase, keeping it unchanged when the result is not a single code unit or when a non-ASCII character would map into ASCII. /iu uses simple case folding (CaseFolding.txt) instead. Yarr precompiles both relations into range tables: each BMP range says whether its code units are unique, form a pair at a fixed distance (RangeLo/RangeHi), form consecutive pairs (AlternatingAligned for even/odd pairs, AlternatingUnaligned for odd/even), or belong to a listed set of three or more; canonicalRangeInfoFor() binary-searches them.
  • Unicode 16 (September 2024) and 17 (September 2025) added these Latin and Cyrillic letters, or added the capital for a small letter that already existed (U+A7D3 and U+A7D5 date from Unicode 14). update-ucd brought the /iu and property data to 17.0.0; the /i table is the one piece of case data that is not derived from ucd/ at build time.

LGTM — mechanical regeneration of an auto-generated Unicode case-folding data table, with thorough test coverage.

What was reviewed:

  • Verified the offset arithmetic for each new/changed range entry (0x019b+0xa641=0xa7dc, 0x0264+0xa567=0xa7cb, and their RangeHi mirrors; 0x1c89/8a is odd-first so AlternatingUnaligned; 0xa7cc..0xa7db is even-first so AlternatingAligned).
  • Confirmed range contiguity is preserved (no gaps/overlaps at the edited boundaries) and the net range count stays at 460 (+1 at 0x1c89, −1 in the merged 0xa7cc..0xa7db block), so ucs2CanonicalizationRanges needs no change.
  • Checked that the merged 0xa7cc..0xa7db AlternatingAligned range preserves the pre-existing A7D0/1 and A7D6..9 pairs, and that the new test exercises those neighbours plus unrelated adjacent code units.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR regenerates Source/JavaScriptCore/yarr/YarrCanonicalizeUCS2.cpp, a committed auto-generated data table that encodes BMP case-equivalence for non-unicode /i regex matching. The file is produced by running YarrCanonicalizeUCS2.js in a JS shell; its last refresh predated Unicode 16, so eight new case pairs from Unicode 16/17 were missing (they were marked CanonicalizeUnique). The diff updates exactly the ranges covering those sixteen code units and adds a comprehensive stress test. No engine logic is touched — only static constinit table data.

Security risks

None. This is pure Unicode case-mapping data consumed by the Yarr interpreter/JIT via canonicalRangeInfoFor() (a binary search over a fixed-size array). The array size constant (ucs2CanonicalizationRanges = 460) is unchanged, the ranges remain sorted and contiguous over 0x0000..0xffff, and no pointers or set indices are added. There is no user-controlled input path into this table beyond ordinary regex compilation, which already handles all range types.

Level of scrutiny

Low-to-moderate. The file is explicitly marked "DO NOT EDIT! - this file autogenerated by YarrCanonicalizeUCS2.js", and the PR states the new content is the unmodified generator output under ICU 78.3, byte-identical across JSC and V8, and exhaustively cross-checked against the ES Canonicalize definition for all 65536 code units. I independently spot-verified every changed row against YarrCanonicalize.h's semantics: the RangeLo/RangeHi deltas resolve to the correct partners, 0x1c89 (odd) correctly uses AlternatingUnaligned, 0xa7cc (even) correctly uses AlternatingAligned, the merged range absorbs the previously-separate A7D0/1 and A7D6..9 pairs without changing their behaviour, and range boundaries stay contiguous. The +1/−1 range-count changes cancel out, matching the unchanged 460 constant.

Other factors

The accompanying test is unusually thorough for a data update: it exercises each new pair bidirectionally as an atom, anchored atom, character class, negated class, embedded atom, backreference, and replace target, under both /i and /iu, with the Yarr JIT on and off, and additionally asserts that neighbouring pre-existing pairs still work and that adjacent unrelated/unassigned code units do not match. The PR description confirms the test passes on V8 and fails on the pre-patch engine at exactly the first new pair. This is a straightforward, well-verified data refresh with no design decisions to weigh.

LGTM — mechanical regeneration of an autogenerated data table to match the Unicode 17 case data already used by /iu and ICU.

What was reviewed:

  • Verified the new ucs2RangeInfo entries arithmetically: 0x019B+0xA641=0xA7DC, 0x0264+0xA567=0xA7CB, and the A7CC–A7DB AlternatingAligned block correctly absorbs the pre-existing A7D0/1 and A7D6–9 pairs.
  • Confirmed the ranges remain contiguous and sorted (binary-search invariant for canonicalRangeInfoFor()) and the net entry count stays at 460 (+1 at 1C89, −1 at A7CB block).
  • Checked AlternatingUnaligned for 1C89/1C8A (odd-first) and AlternatingAligned for A7CC–A7DB (even-first) are the right parities.
  • The one review comment on the test's class-range assertions was addressed in e640512 and is resolved.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR regenerates Source/JavaScriptCore/yarr/YarrCanonicalizeUCS2.cpp, a committed autogenerated file (produced by yarr/YarrCanonicalizeUCS2.js), to pick up the eight BMP simple case pairs added in Unicode 16 and 17. The diff touches ~10 range-table entries and adds a new stress test. No logic, no header changes, no character-set additions — the range count constant ucs2CanonicalizationRanges = 460 is unchanged, so canonicalRangeInfoFor() and every consumer are untouched.

Security risks

None. This is a static constinit lookup table of Unicode case-folding pairs consumed by the Yarr pattern compiler. There is no user-controlled input into the table, no allocation, no bounds computed from these values beyond the existing binary search over a fixed array whose length constant did not change.

Level of scrutiny

Low-to-moderate. The file header says "DO NOT EDIT! - this file autogenerated by YarrCanonicalizeUCS2.js", and the PR is precisely that: re-running the generator under ICU 78.3. This is the moral equivalent of a dependency/data version bump. The correctness bar is "does the regenerated data match Unicode 17", and the PR description documents unusually rigorous verification: byte-identical generator output on JSC and V8, an independent decoder walked over all 65 536 code units against the ES Canonicalize definition (0 diffs, previously 16), and cross-checked against V8's /i. I additionally spot-checked the arithmetic on every changed entry and confirmed the table's structural invariants (sorted, contiguous, correct alternation parity, count preserved).

Other factors

  • The only outstanding review comment (CodeRabbit, on two test assertions that trivially passed without folding) was addressed in e640512 and marked resolved by both parties.
  • A thorough new stress test covers all eight pairs bidirectionally across atoms, classes, negated classes, backreferences, replace, and class ranges, plus neighbouring pairs whose ranges were merged/split and adjacent unassigned code points, under both Yarr JIT on and off.
  • A companion Bun PR (oven-sh/bun#39381) pins this preview build and adds the same checks to Bun's CI, which does run.
  • The change brings non-unicode /i into agreement with the /iu table (already at 17.0.0 via ucd/CaseFolding.txt) and with V8.

Beyond the inline nit, I also checked the table invariants the binary search in canonicalRangeInfoFor() depends on: the modified ranges stay sorted and gap-free (0x1c88→0x1c89-8a→0x1c8b-8f→0x1c90 and 0xa7ca→0xa7cb→0xa7cc-db→0xa7dc→0xa7dd-f4), the net entry count is unchanged so ucs2CanonicalizationRanges = 460 still matches the initializer, the new RangeLo/RangeHi offsets check out arithmetically (0x019b+0xa641=0xa7dc, 0x0264+0xa567=0xa7cb), and the alternating-range parities are correct (0x1c89 odd → Unaligned, 0xa7cc even → Aligned).

Extended reasoning...

The only reported finding is a test-convention nit (testLoopCount vs hardcoded 50), which does not affect correctness. I'm not auto-approving because this is a user-visible change to core /i regex semantics in JavaScriptCore, so a maintainer should sign off on shipping the Unicode 16/17 data bump — but the data change itself is mechanical and I verified the structural invariants above so a human reviewer need not re-derive them.

🟡 Nit: JSTests/README.md (rule #2, imported by JSTests/CLAUDE.md) requires new tests to use testLoopCount for the iteration count so the harness can tune it per configuration — under //@ runNoJIT the fixed 50 iterations are wasted, and other configs may want a different tier-up count. Since the PR notes this file also runs on V8, guard it: for (let i = 0; i < (typeof testLoopCount !== "undefined" ? testLoopCount : 50); ++i).

Extended reasoning...

What this is

JSTests/README.md line 20 (which JSTests/CLAUDE.md pulls in via @README.md) states that new tests are required to:

Use testLoopCount or wasmTestLoopCount to control how many iterations a test runs. The jsc CLI sets these based on the configuration of the test, so tests iterate enough to tier up where that matters and exit early where it doesn't.

The new test at JSTests/stress/regexp-ignore-case-unicode-16-17-case-pairs.js:66 instead uses a hardcoded loop bound:

for (let i = 0; i < 50; ++i) {

This is the repository's stated convention for new stress tests (2000+ existing files under JSTests/stress use testLoopCount), so flagging it here even though it has no functional effect on what the test verifies.

Why it matters (mildly)

This test declares two configurations at the top:

//@ runDefault("--useRegExpJIT=true")
//@ runNoJIT("--useRegExpJIT=false")

Under runNoJIT, nothing tiers up, so 50 iterations of the full pair/neighbour/unrelated battery just repeat the same interpreter path 50× for no additional coverage — pure wasted wall-clock in a suite whose README also asks tests to stay under 200ms per configuration. Under runDefault, 50 may or may not line up with the Yarr/baseline tier-up thresholds the harness would otherwise pick. testLoopCount exists precisely so the harness can set the count high where tier-up matters and low (or 1) where it doesn't.

Step-by-step

  1. run-jsc-stress-tests launches the runNoJIT configuration and injects a small testLoopCount (since JIT is disabled, extra iterations add nothing).
  2. The test ignores that value and runs the outer loop 50 times anyway.
  3. Each iteration executes 8 new pairs × 2 flag sets × 2 directions × 7 assertions, plus 8 neighbouring pairs × the same, plus the U+1C88 and 7 checkUnrelated checks — several thousand RegExp constructions and matches per iteration, ~50× more work than the harness asked for in that configuration.
  4. Under runDefault, if the harness would have chosen a testLoopCount higher than 50 to guarantee tier-up of the compiled patterns, the hardcoded 50 may undershoot instead.

Neither of these makes the test wrong — the assertions still cover the fix and fail on the old table — it just doesn't let the harness tune the cost/coverage trade-off the way the README requires.

Why the guard

The PR description says the test "passes on V8 as written," and V8's d8 shell does not define testLoopCount. A bare for (let i = 0; i < testLoopCount; ++i) would throw ReferenceError there. Guarding with typeof testLoopCount !== "undefined" ? testLoopCount : 50 keeps the file portable to V8 while honouring the JSTests convention under jsc.

Suggested fix

for (let i = 0; i < (typeof testLoopCount !== "undefined" ? testLoopCount : 50); ++i) {

Severity: nit — this is a test-suite convention for new tests, not a correctness issue; the test already validates the table change correctly.

I reviewed this PR and found no bugs. The table diff is verified generator output and the arithmetic checks out, but since it changes user-visible /i regex semantics in Yarr's canonicalization path, a human sign-off would still be worthwhile. (The earlier testLoopCount note is a non-blocking nit.)

What was reviewed:

  • New ucs2RangeInfo entries: offsets resolve to the stated partners (0x019B+0xA641=0xA7DC, 0x0264+0xA567=0xA7CB), AlternatingUnaligned at 0x1C89 and AlternatingAligned at 0xA7CC match the parity rules in YarrCanonicalize.h.
  • Range table stays contiguous with no gaps/overlaps across the edited spans, and the net entry count is unchanged at 460 (+1 at 0x1C89, −1 at 0xA7CB block).
  • Absorbed pre-existing pairs (A7D0/1, A7D6..9) remain correctly encoded by the merged AlternatingAligned range; ucs2CharacterSetInfo and latin1CanonicalizationTable are untouched.
  • Test file: helpers, pair lists, neighbour/unrelated checks and the tightened class-range assertions all encode the expected relations.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

Two files: Source/JavaScriptCore/yarr/YarrCanonicalizeUCS2.cpp (a committed, script-generated data table for non-unicode /i case folding) and a new stress test. The .cpp diff updates 16 BMP code units across four spans to reflect Unicode 16/17 simple case pairs; the file header marks it as autogenerated by YarrCanonicalizeUCS2.js, and the PR states it is the unmodified generator output under ICU 78.3.

Security risks

None identified. This is a static constinit lookup table of integer ranges consumed by canonicalRangeInfoFor()'s binary search. No allocation, parsing, I/O, or trust-boundary changes. The array length constant (ucs2CanonicalizationRanges = 460) is unchanged and matches the entry count after the edit (verified: the 0x1C89 span goes from 1→2 entries, the 0xA7CB..0xA7F4 span goes from 5→4, net zero), so the binary search bounds are intact.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate-to-high. The change itself is mechanical — re-running an existing generator against a newer ICU — and I independently checked every new entry against the decode logic in YarrCanonicalize.h (RangeLo = ch+value, RangeHi = ch−value, AlternatingAligned = ch^1 with even start, AlternatingUnaligned = odd start): all eight new pairs resolve correctly, ranges remain contiguous, and the merged 0xA7CC..0xA7DB aligned range still yields the right partners for the previously-separate A7D0/1 and A7D6..9 pairs. The PR description also documents a full-BMP sweep against the ES Canonicalize definition (0 diffs) and byte-identical generator output on two engines. That said, this table drives /i matching for every non-unicode regex in the engine — a correctness-critical, user-visible path — so I'm deferring rather than auto-approving.

Other factors

  • The one prior inline comment from this bot (use testLoopCount instead of a fixed 50) is still open in the diff, but it was filed as a nit and does not affect correctness of the fix or the test's ability to catch regressions.
  • CodeRabbit's earlier note on the class-range assertions was addressed and is visible in the current diff (tested chars now lie outside the literal ranges).
  • Test coverage is thorough (atom/class/negated-class/backref/replace × both directions × /i and /iu, plus neighbours and unrelated code units), and a companion Bun-side test exists in oven-sh/bun#39381.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it changes the /i canonicalization table that every non-unicode case-insensitive regex in the runtime goes through, a human sign-off would still be worthwhile. The earlier testLoopCount note was a nit and is not blocking.

Checked the new range entries against YarrCanonicalize.h semantics — the RangeLo/RangeHi deltas (0xa641 → U+019B↔U+A7DC, 0xa567 → U+0264↔U+A7CB) and the Aligned/Unaligned parity (U+1C89 odd → Unaligned, U+A7CC even → Aligned) all resolve to the intended partners.
Verified the range count stays at 460 (net +1 at U+1C89, net −1 at U+A7CB..A7F4), so the constinit array size and canonicalRangeInfoFor() binary search are unaffected.
Confirmed the merged U+A7CC..U+A7DB AlternatingAligned range preserves the pre-existing U+A7D0/1 and U+A7D6..9 pairs, and that ranges remain contiguous with no gaps or overlaps at the edited boundaries.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

Two files: Source/JavaScriptCore/yarr/YarrCanonicalizeUCS2.cpp (a committed, generator-produced data table) and a new stress test JSTests/stress/regexp-ignore-case-unicode-16-17-case-pairs.js. The .cpp change is a data-only refresh: four single-code-unit entries flip from CanonicalizeUnique to RangeLo/RangeHi, one Unique range splits into an AlternatingUnaligned pair plus a shorter Unique tail, and five entries covering U+A7CB..U+A7F4 collapse into four. No logic, no header, and no consumer changes; character sets and latin1CanonicalizationTable are untouched. I cross-checked each new entry against getCanonicalPair() in YarrCanonicalize.h: RangeLo adds the delta, RangeHi subtracts it, AlternatingAligned is ch ^ 1 (even-started), AlternatingUnaligned is ((ch-1)^1)+1 (odd-started). All eight new pairs and all absorbed neighbouring pairs decode correctly, and the array-size constant (460) still matches the initializer count.

Security risks

None identified. This is static constinit data consumed by a bounded binary search over a fixed-size array; there is no user-controlled indexing, allocation, or parsing. The only observable effect is that sixteen additional BMP code units now compare equal under /i, which is the ES-spec-mandated behaviour under Unicode 17 and matches V8.

Level of scrutiny

Medium-high. The change itself is mechanical — the file is the unmodified output of the committed generator YarrCanonicalizeUCS2.js, and the author cross-validated it three ways (byte-identical output from JSC and V8 shells on ICU 78.3, an independent decoder over all 65536 code units against ES Canonicalize, and V8 acceptance of every encoded pair). But the table is on the hot path of every non-unicode /i regex match in Bun, so a mistake would be user-visible across the ecosystem. That warrants a human confirming the regeneration provenance rather than an auto-approve. Both changed paths are also listed under @WebKit/jsc-reviewers in .github/CODEOWNERS (inherited from upstream).

Other factors

The stress test is thorough (atoms, classes, negated classes, backreferences, replace, class ranges with the tested character outside the range, neighbouring pairs, unrelated code units, JIT on/off) and the CodeRabbit range-assertion feedback was addressed and verified. My earlier inline note about testLoopCount is a test-suite convention nit only — it does not affect what the test verifies and I do not consider it a merge blocker. This run of the bug hunter found nothing; the arithmetic and structural invariants I checked by hand all hold.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it changes user-visible /i regex semantics in JavaScriptCore and moves the fork ahead of upstream WebKit on this table, a maintainer sign-off would still be worthwhile.

Checked: the new ucs2RangeInfo entries — deltas (0x019b+0xa641=0xa7dc, 0x0264+0xa567=0xa7cb), aligned/unaligned parity for 0x1c89-8a and 0xa7cc-db, range contiguity, and that the net entry count stays at 460 so ucs2CanonicalizationRanges and the binary search remain valid.
Checked: the merged 0xa7cc-0xa7db aligned range preserves the pre-existing A7D0/1 and A7D6-9 pairs it absorbs.
Checked: the new stress test — each class-range assertion's tested character now lies outside its literal range, and checkUnrelated covers the boundaries adjacent to every new entry.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

Two files: Source/JavaScriptCore/yarr/YarrCanonicalizeUCS2.cpp (a committed, generator-produced data table) and a new stress test. The table diff updates 16 BMP code units — the eight simple case pairs added in Unicode 16 and 17 — from CanonicalizeUnique to their correct pair encodings. I verified the arithmetic of every changed entry against the semantics in YarrCanonicalize.h (RangeLo adds the delta, RangeHi subtracts it, AlternatingAligned is ch^1 on even-started ranges, AlternatingUnaligned on odd-started), confirmed all range boundaries remain contiguous with their neighbours, and confirmed the entry count is unchanged (hunk 3 is +1 range, hunk 4 is −1) so the declared array size of 460 still matches.

Security risks

None identified. This is a static const data table consumed by canonicalRangeInfoFor()'s binary search; there is no untrusted input parsing, allocation, or indexing driven by these values beyond the existing bounded lookup. The array size constant matches the initializer count, so there is no OOB or uninitialized-tail risk.

Level of scrutiny

This is generator output for a data table — mechanically simple — but it changes the observable semantics of non-unicode /i regex matching for every Bun user, and the PR notes upstream WebKit main still has the stale table, so merging moves the fork ahead of upstream on regex behaviour. That is a policy/direction call a maintainer should make explicitly, even though the data itself checks out and matches V8 and the ES Canonicalize definition per the PR's validation.

Other factors

The PR description documents unusually thorough external validation (byte-identical generator output on two engines, a 65536-code-unit sweep against ES Canonicalize, V8 cross-check, companion Bun-side test in oven-sh/bun#39381). The earlier CodeRabbit comment on the class-range assertions was addressed and resolved. My prior inline nit about testLoopCount vs the hardcoded 50 loop bound is still open in the current diff — it's a test-suite convention only, not a correctness concern, and does not affect the verdict here.

I reviewed this PR and the automated bug-hunting pass found no issues. The table edits check out arithmetically against YarrCanonicalize.h (offsets, aligned/unaligned parity, range contiguity, and the 460-entry count all hold). Since this changes user-visible /i regex semantics in JSC and the data's correctness rests on the generator run described, a human look would still be worthwhile before merge.

What was reviewed

  • Verified each changed entry: 0x019b+0xa641=0xa7dc, 0x0264+0xa567=0xa7cb, 0x1c89 odd → AlternatingUnaligned, 0xa7cc even → AlternatingAligned over 0xa7cc..0xa7db, matching RangeHi partners.
  • Confirmed the edited ranges stay contiguous/non-overlapping and the net entry count is unchanged (−5+4 in the A7xx block, −1+2 at 1C89), so ucs2CanonicalizationRanges = 460 still matches.
  • Checked the new stress test's assertions cover both directions, negated classes, backreferences, and the neighbouring pairs whose ranges were merged/split.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR regenerates Source/JavaScriptCore/yarr/YarrCanonicalizeUCS2.cpp — a committed, script-generated lookup table that drives non-unicode /i case-insensitive regex matching in Yarr — to include the eight BMP simple case pairs added in Unicode 16 and 17. It also adds a stress test (JSTests/stress/regexp-ignore-case-unicode-16-17-case-pairs.js) exercising the new pairs and their neighbours under both the Yarr interpreter and JIT.

The table diff is small and mechanical: two single-code-unit entries switch from CanonicalizeUnique to CanonicalizeRangeLo (U+019B, U+0264), one Unique range splits to carve out an AlternatingUnaligned pair at U+1C89/1C8A, and five entries in the U+A7Cx/A7Dx block consolidate into four (a RangeHi at U+A7CB, one AlternatingAligned run over U+A7CC..A7DB absorbing the pre-existing A7D0/1 and A7D6..9 pairs, a RangeHi at U+A7DC, and a narrowed trailing Unique range). I cross-checked every new offset and alignment against the decoder in YarrCanonicalize.h:97-104 and they are all consistent; the range array remains contiguous with no gaps or overlaps, and the net entry delta is zero so ucs2CanonicalizationRanges = 460 remains correct.

Security risks

None identified. This is a static constinit data table consumed by a binary search in canonicalRangeInfoFor(); no allocation, parsing, or externally-influenced control flow is introduced. The changed entries widen equivalence classes for a handful of Latin Extended-D and Cyrillic code points, which is the intended spec-conformance fix rather than a security-relevant behaviour change.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate-to-high. The file is autogenerated and the edit is a data refresh, which argues for low scrutiny. But the table governs user-visible /i matching for every regex evaluated in Bun, so a wrong entry would silently change match results across the ecosystem. The PR description documents strong external verification (byte-identical generator output on two engines, a full-BMP sweep against the ES Canonicalize definition, V8 parity), and the arithmetic I could check locally is correct — but I cannot independently confirm the generator was run under ICU 78.3 as stated, and this is the kind of change that typically also lands upstream with a WebKit reviewer's eyes on it.

Other factors

  • The one prior review thread (CodeRabbit's note on the class-range assertions) was addressed and resolved.
  • My earlier inline note about testLoopCount in the test loop is a convention nit only and does not affect correctness or block this; I'm not re-raising it here.
  • The branch has been rebased several times onto the moving Bun pin with preview builds published, but the two-commit diff content is unchanged relative to what was previously reviewed.
  • A companion Bun-side test (oven-sh/bun#39381) is referenced and reportedly passes against this build.

Given the critical code path, deferring to a human reviewer rather than auto-approving.

… the Unicode 16 and 17 case pairs

YarrCanonicalizeUCS2.cpp is a committed file produced by running
YarrCanonicalizeUCS2.js in a JS shell, so it carries the case mappings of
whatever ICU that shell had. It was last regenerated before the Unicode 16
data existed, while the /iu table (YarrCanonicalizeUnicode.cpp) is generated
at build time from ucd/CaseFolding.txt, which is at 17.0.0. As a result the
eight BMP simple case pairs added in Unicode 16 and 17 (U+019B/U+A7DC,
U+0264/U+A7CB, U+A7CC/U+A7CD, U+A7CE/U+A7CF, U+A7D2/U+A7D3, U+A7D4/U+A7D5,
U+A7DA/U+A7DB, U+1C89/U+1C8A) are CanonicalizeUnique under /i but fold
under /iu and in String.prototype.toUpperCase.

This is the unmodified output of YarrCanonicalizeUCS2.js run under ICU 78.3
(Unicode 17). The only entries that change are the ones for those sixteen
code units; the character sets, the range count and the Latin-1 table are
unchanged.
The tested character now lies outside each range, so the assertions only
pass when the range's partner is canonicalized into the class.
