Dmitri Blinov commented on JEXL-307:
------------------------------------
And one more thing... hoisted variables are not resolved in nested blocks -
_*variable 'x' is undefined*_
{code:java}
@Test
public void testHoisted() throws Exception {
JexlFeatures f = new JexlFeatures();
f.lexical(true);
JexlEngine jexl = new JexlBuilder().strict(true).features(f).create();
JexlScript script = jexl.createScript("var x = 10; var a = function(var
b) {for (var q : 1 ..10) {return x + b}}; a(32)");
JexlContext jc = new MapContext();
Object result = script.execute(null);
Assert.assertEquals(result, 42);
}
{code}
If the lexical feature is switched off everything works OK.
> Variable redeclaration option
> -----------------------------
>
> Key: JEXL-307
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-307
> Project: Commons JEXL
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 3.1
> Reporter: Dmitri Blinov
> Assignee: Henri Biestro
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.2
>
>
> As of now, JEXL allows a script writer to redeclare a local variable during
> script evaluation.
> {code:java}
> var a = 1; var a = 2;{code}
> This may lead to potential errors with misspelled names and clashed
> variables. Checking for already defined variable is a common feature of many
> languages. This feature can be implemented in JEXL as an additional option of
> JexlFeatures class, enabled by default, thus allowing compatibility with
> existing code.
