This restriction is also in place for the With and * Closure constructors. * * http://scopus.mcom.com/bugsplat/show_bug.cgi?id=324451 * * Author: christine@netscape.com * Date: 11 August 1998 * * * REVISION: 05 February 2001 * Author: pschwartau@netscape.com * * Indirect eval IS NOT ILLEGAL per ECMA3!!! See * * http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38512 * * ------- Additional Comments From Brendan Eich 2001-01-30 17:12 ------- * ECMA-262 Edition 3 doesn't require implementations to throw EvalError, * see the short, section-less Chapter 16. It does say an implementation that * doesn't throw EvalError must allow assignment to eval and indirect calls * of the evalnative method. * */ var SECTION = "eval-001.js"; var VERSION = "JS1_4"; var TITLE = "Calling eval indirectly should NOT fail in version 140"; var BUGNUMBER="38512"; startTest(); writeHeaderToLog( SECTION + " "+ TITLE); var testcases = new Array(); var MY_EVAL = eval; var RESULT = ""; var EXPECT = "abcdefg"; MY_EVAL( "RESULT = EXPECT" ); testcases[tc++] = new TestCase( SECTION, "Call eval indirectly", EXPECT, RESULT ); test();
