Thus we are left with the IE9/Opera behavior, which seems sensible and
natural to me: an eval function should always act in the context of the
global from which it came.
Now this I think I don't agree with. The reason is that direct eval
A few months back I noticed an interesting interaction between how direct eval
is defined and multiple globals. What happens if, in one global, you call an
eval from another global as if it were a direct eval?
var indirect = otherGlobal.eval;
eval = indirect;
print(eval(this) === this);
Jeff,
I think your real question reduces to this:
//none strict mode code
globalObj= function() {return this}();
print(otherGlobal.eval(this) === globalObj) //??
The two different calls and the indirect name in your example may make the

Hi Jeff,
I agree that the spec should deal with multiple global objects. I'm aware of a
few of the subtleties of multiple globals, but I wouldn't be surprised if there
are more. Thanks for raising this one. I created a placeholder strawman last
week, because I've been intending to get into
8 matches
