56890 - ECMA conformance: Number.prototype.toLocaleString() undefined

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect, P3)

Description

[David Flanagan]

js 1.5 rc1 does not conform to ECMA v3 15.7.4.3:
it does not defined Number.prototype.toLocaleString()

Here is the relevant text from the standard:

15.7.4.3 Number.prototype.toLocaleString()
Produces a string value that represents the value of the Number formatted
according to the
conventions of the host environment's current locale. This function is
implementation-dependent, and
it is permissible, but not encouraged, for it to return the same thing as
toString.
NOTE
The first parameter to this function is likely to be used in a future version of
this standard; it is
recommended that implementations do not use this parameter position for anything
else.

Looks like this was fixed as of Release Candidate 2. See bug 56878 for 
details. This is what I find in rc2 and in a build of the current trunk:


js> var n = new Number(5)

js> n.toString()
5

js> n.toLocaleString()
5

js> n.__proto__.toLocaleString()
0

js> Number.prototype.toLocaleString()
0
