Thanks for the reply.
I'd actually expect `undefined` because function declarations does not
return anything. Converting it to a function expression kind of misses the
point since those are well... expressions :)
I've tried looking in all the relevant places in the spec but still
couldn't unambiguously figure out which browser is 'correct'.
There are a few edge cases in reference resolution which are not
correctly implemented in most browsers. Your example is basically the
same as test case 2 from
https://bugs.ecmascript.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1751. The relevant section
in the specification is "12.13.4 Runtime Semantics: Evaluation": The
left hand side of an assignment is always evaluated before the right
hand side. This includes resolving and remembering the reference
information for an identifier reference. In this case the identifier
reference resolves to a binding on the global object, so assignment must
be performed on the global, even if a (direct) eval expression
introduces new bindings with the same name in the current scope.
