```

## Parameters

- `ctx`: The execution context to use.
- `argumentCount`: An integer count of the number of arguments in arguments.
- `arguments`: A doc://com.apple.javascriptcore/documentation/JavaScriptCore/JSValueRef array of arguments to pass to the RegExp constructor. Pass NULL if argumentCount is 0.
- `exception`: A pointer to a doc://com.apple.javascriptcore/documentation/JavaScriptCore/JSValueRef to store an exception in, if any. Pass NULL to discard any exception.
