Build error leg or test failing: CharClassSubtraction_DeepNesting_DoesNotStackOverflow with NonBacktracking engine on browser-wasm
Pull request: #124125

Details

The test CharClassSubtraction_DeepNesting_DoesNotStackOverflow was added in #124995 (commit 50f4fec, merged Feb 27). It runs across all RegexEngine values via AvailableEngines_MemberData, including NonBacktracking.

On browser-wasm (single-threaded), the deep nesting with the NonBacktracking engine triggers internal threading APIs (Task.InternalWaitCore → ThrowIfMultithreadingIsNotSupported) that are not supported. The NonBacktracking engine works fine on browser-wasm for normal patterns — only this extreme nesting depth triggers the threading code path. The fix is an in-test guard that skips only NonBacktracking on Browser, keeping Interpreter and Compiled coverage.

Affects 3 browser-wasm LibraryTests jobs:

  • LibraryTests browser-wasm linux Release
  • LibraryTests_EAT browser-wasm linux Release
  • LibraryTests browser-wasm windows Release

Not related to any PR changes ΓÇö this is a main-branch regression in test coverage.
