1280503 - debugger doesn't show "false" result from function

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1326837

(DevTools :: Debugger, defect, P3)

Description

[Tom Tromey :tromey]

Consider this function:

function returnFalse() {
  return false;
}


Set a breakpoint in the function and invoke it.
Now click "step in" until the end of the function.
The debugger should pause twice at the end of the function.
The second pause should display the return value.
However, when the return value is "false", as it is here, it
is not displayed.

I think it's fine to not display "undefined", but it seems to me that
"false" should be displayed.

I agree Tom. We probably have a check for 'falsy' somewhere, that should be an explicit check for 'undefined' instead. Dynamic typing for the win, eh? ;-)

This looks like a papercut to me, so marking as P3.

A dup and the newer bug has better STR.
