ruby 3.2.0dev (2022-12-07T03:32:29Z master bcd8b2f00a) [x86_64-darwin19]

Description

I get the following unexpected error when using Ruby 3.2.0-dev.

Expected (Ruby 3.1 and prior)¶

No errors:

% ruby -ve "Regexp.compile('regexp', 'n')"
ruby 3.1.3p185 (2022-11-24 revision 1a6b16756e) [x86_64-darwin19]

Actual (Ruby 3.2.0-dev)¶

An unexpected error occurs.

% ruby -ve "Regexp.compile('regexp', 'n')"
ruby 3.2.0dev (2022-12-07T03:32:29Z master bcd8b2f00a) [x86_64-darwin19]
-e:1:in `initialize': unknown regexp option: n (ArgumentError)

Regexp.compile('regexp', 'n')
               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        from -e:1:in `compile'
        from -e:1:in `<main>'

Context¶

I encountered the following error when developing the Parser gem with Ruby 3.2.0-dev. This is not encountered in Ruby 3.1.
