Description

An empty regexp of the form #"" compiles to //, which is not an empty regexp but a comment, causing the code following the supposed regexp on the affected line to be commented out. This tends to cause compiler errors when Closure Compiler tries to parse it.

#"" should instead produce either /(?:)/ or new RegExp("").
