206658 - Rhino crashes on |this = 1;|

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Rhino Graveyard :: Core, defect)

Description

[Phil Schwartau]

The crash occurs at all optimization levels. It occurs
whether or not we do |seal(this)| first:

[ ] java org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main
Rhino 1.5 release 5 0000 00 00

I got the following with the latest tip and Rhino 1.5R4.1:

js> this=1; 
js: "<stdin>", line 11: uncaught JavaScript exception: SyntaxError: Invalid
assignment left-hand side. (<stdin>; line 11)
js: this=1;
js: ......^

The same result holds for this = 1 as well.

Igor: with rhino1_5R4, I'm getting the same exception:

[ ] java -jar D:/JS_TRUNK/mozilla/js/rhino/build/rhino1_5R4/js.jar
Rhino 1.5 release 4 2003 02 10
js> this = 1;
js: "<stdin>", line 1: uncaught JavaScript exception: SyntaxError: Invalid
assignment left-hand side. (<stdin>; line 1)
js: this = 1;
js: ........^


But I'm still getting a crash with the current tip, pulled today:

[ ] java -jar D:/JS_TRUNK/mozilla/js/rhino/build/rhino1_5R5pre/js.jar
Rhino 1.5 release 5 0000 00 00

I'm running on WinNT4.0(SP6)

Phil, I rechecked my builds and with CVS tip or even with
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/js/rhinoLatest.zip everything works as expected producing

Rhino 1.5 release 5 0000 00 00
js> this=1;
js: "<stdin>", line 1: uncaught JavaScript exception: SyntaxError: Invalid
assignment left-hand side. (<stdin>; line 1)
js: this=1;
js: ......^

Resolving as WORKSFORME.

It looks like this was an issue with the ant build process for Rhino.
I was finally able to make the bug go away by deleting this directory:

              mozilla/js/rhino/build/classes

and then building. I'm building Rhino on WinNT as follows:

[D:/JS_TRUNK/mozilla/js/rhino] ant dist

It must be that ant was failing to update one of those classes (?)

Comment 6

[Phil Schwartau]

Marking Verified.

Just to clarify: I shouldn't have to delete the build/classes directory
myself, should I? Isn't ant supposed to take care of everything?

Is there a parameter that I need to pass to ant to ensure a "clobber"?

Targeting as resolved against 1.5R5
