New issue 875 by [email protected]: Closure problems with the
Javascript "with" statement.
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=875
From original report in the Chromium bug tracker:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=42053
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use the with () {...} statement.
2. Define a named (non-anonymous) function.
3. Try to use the identifiers defined by the with statement.
What is the expected result?
The identifiers should be first resolved relative to the object defined in
the with
statement.
What happens instead?
Identifiers are resolved relative to the window.
Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
The problem is the inconsistency of this behaviour. If the function inside
the with
block is anonymous, the closure works and identifiers are properly
resolved. If,
however, they are defined as named functions, the problem rears its ugly
head.
