I'm having a bit of trouble understanding how this maps to the solution described in your previous message, Mark. Your "I didn't realize until reading your reply is that this is all that's necessary" indicates I'm probably just missing something, so help appreciated. My question is, what happens if Desc.[[Configurable]] is not present, and P does not already exist on W? By my reading, we then fall through to calling the [[DefineOwnProperty]] internal method of W with arguments P and Desc. Assuming W's [[DefineOwnProperty]] is that of an ordinary object, I believe that takes us through OrdinaryDefineOwnProperty(W, P, Desc). Since P does not exist on W, and W is extensible, that takes us to ValidateAndApplyPropertyDescriptor(O, P, true, Desc, undefined). Then according to step 2.c, " If the value of an attribute field of Desc is absent, the attribute of the newly created property is set to its default value." The default value is false, right? So won't this try to define a non-configurable property on W? I would have thought the modification needed to be more like: [[DefineOwnProperty]] (P, Desc) 1. If desc.[[Configurable]] is not present, set desc.[[Configurable]] to true. 2. If desc.[[Configurable]] is false, then throw a TypeError exception. 3. Return the result of calling the [[DefineOwnProperty]] internal method of W with arguments P and Desc. (here I have inserted step 1, but step 2 and 3 are unchanged from the previous incarnation). _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
