James Howe commented on COUCHDB-1397:
-------------------------------------
The string "function(doc) {}" *isnt* invalid JavaScript - it's just a string.
It only becomes an anonymous function at global scope if you pass it directly
to eval().
> Function expressions, evals in SpiderMonkey

> Key: COUCHDB-1397
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1397
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: JavaScript View Server
> Affects Versions: 1.2.1
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Jason Smith
>
> New SpiderMonkey releases do not eval() a sole anonymous function expression.
> That is not a valid JavaScript statement, and so it is not a valid JavaScript
> script.
> COUCHDB-1302 addressed this for 1.1 and the 1.1.x branch. This ticket is for
> 1.2. (Sorry to spam COUCHDB-1302. I saw "Unassigned" and read "Unresolved.")
