*better late than never:)* It's a bit hard to digest, but I'm slowly accumulating this info in the form of disabled Test262 tests<http://hg.ecmascript.org/tests/test262/file/3d8a9eee876d/test/config/excludelist.xml> and bugs. Wouldn't take too much effort to turn this into something a bit more readable on the Wiki. Aside from the bugs already filed and what's been mentioned in this thread, there's a couple more I can think of offhand:
- "\X12" (versus "\x12") - "\U0001" (versus "\u0001") My best, Dave From: Mark S. Miller [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2011 2:01 PM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected]; Dave Fugate; es-discuss Subject: Re: do-while grammar Does anyone know of any other syntax that all major JS engines accept that are not in the official ES5.1 grammar? Does anyone know of any places on the web attempting to accumulate such exceptions? The other one I know of is nested named function declarations <http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=conventions:no_non_standard_strict_decls>. And there was an ASI mis-description for "break" and "continue" that was corrected between ES5 and ES5.1. We really need a complete codification of the consensus ES5.1 grammar. Starting from the official grammar, the Caja <http://caja.appspot.com/trycaja/index.html?input=do%20{%3b}%20while%28false%29%20false<http://caja.appspot.com/trycaja/index.html?input=do%20%7b%3b%7d%20while%28false%29%20false>> and ES-Lab <http://es-lab.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/site/esparser/index.html> parsers both reject "do {;} while (false) false;" because we didn't know any better. I expect there are many other independent parsers (minimizers, linters, etc) that make the same mistake. Even if such "corrections" do not make it into future errata, I would like to see them recorded on the ecmascript wiki.

We made this change for web compatibility, mimicking a Firefox quirk.

That is, a production of the nature: do {;} while (false) false; would be invalid JavaScript as doesn't meet any of the three rules set out in 7.9.1, right?
