513335 - JS_GetPropertyDescriptorById misnamed? (doesn't invoke getter, so value returned is bogus value in the slot)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Jeff Walden [:Waldo]]

I'm considering this method called on an array with the "length" property, which returns something like so (note bogus value of undefined, rather than 1 or 3 or what-have-you):

(gdb) p descriptor
$1 = {
  obj = 0x84e100, 
  attrs = 4, 
  getter = 0, 
  setter = 0, 
  value = 22
}

Brendan says Lookup would thus be a more accurate name.
