So I have read the section (and the notes associated with it) over what a direct call to eval is: http://es5.github.com/#x15.1.2.1.1 http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#script-s-global-object
> A direct call to the eval function is one that is expressed as a > CallExpression that meets the following two conditions: > The Reference that is the result of evaluating the MemberExpression in the > CallExpression has an environment record as its base value and its reference > name is "eval". > The result of calling the abstract operation GetValue with that Reference as > the argument is the standard built-in function defined in 15.1.2.1. But I am still a little unsure if `window.eval(…)` is a direct call or not. I have heard `window.eval()` is an indirect call but wanted to make sure. I see it as <call expression><member expression> window.eval</member expression> (…) </call expression> Wouldn't the result of evaluating the MemberExpression `window.eval` have global's environment record as its base and a reference name of `eval`? Is `window.eval(..)` a direct call to eval? Thanks, -JDD _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
