Hi, In section 15.3.4.3 Function.prototype.apply (thisArg, argArray) (page 119 of Ecma-262, Edition 5.1) there's this note: 'The thisArg value is passed without modification as the this value. This is a change from Edition 3, where a undefined or null thisArg is replaced with the global object and ToObject is applied to all other values and that result is passed as the this value.' From this I understand that this is happening in both non-strict mode and strict mode.
But in Annex C, one of the bullets says (page 235): 'If this is evaluated within strict mode code, then the this value is not coerced to an object. A this value of null or undefined is not converted to the global object and primitive values are not converted to wrapper objects. The this value passed via a function call (including calls made using Function.prototype.apply and Function.prototype.call) do not coerce the passed this value to an object (10.4.3, 11.1.1, 15.3.4.3, 15.3.4.4).' >From this I understand that the coercion occurs only in non-strict mode (like in Firefox). Is it possible to make this clearer in the next edition, please? Thanks, Raul
