I was mucking around with some tests of how interpreters deal with identifiers whose decoded value is the same as a reserved keyword.
Many interpreters seem to diverge wildly from the spec and from each other w.r.t. encoded versions of the keyword "this". I don't see any relationship between the identifier "this" and ThisBinding in the spec, so I believe the below tests should all pass. Am I missing something? The testcases are available at http://google-caja.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/html/identifier-keyword-confusion.html and are reproduced below for easy quoting: assertTrue("this" === "thi\u0073"); (function () { var thi\u0073 = 42; assertFalse(this === 42); assertTrue(thi\u0073 === 42); }()); (function (thi\u0073) { assertFalse(this === 42); assertTrue(thi\u0073 === 42); }(42)); (function thi\u0073() { assertFalse("function" === typeof this); assertTrue("function" === typeof thi\u0073); }()); var called = false, bodyReached = false; var \u0069\u0066 = function (x) { assertFalse(x); called = true; }; assertTrue("if" === "\u0069\u0066"); \u0069\u0066(false) { bodyReached = true; } assertTrue(called); assertTrue(bodyReached); _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
