1440605 - Issue in javascript compilation

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Loïc Bried]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
Build ID: 20180118122319

Steps to reproduce:

var myObj = (function()
{
   return
   {
      something : 'some value'
   };
})();

console.log(myObj); 


Actual results:

console.log says "undefined"


Expected results:

console.log should log a well formed object.

But it works if "return" and "{" are on the same line. 

Is it a compilation issue ?

you shouldn't put newline after `return`, if you want to return a value,
otherwise semicolon is inserted there.
