614032 - jsdefs doesn't parse on V8

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Other Applications Graveyard :: Narcissus, defect)

Description

[Gregor Richards]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.12) Gecko/20100911 Iceweasel/3.5.12 (like Firefox/3.5.12)
Build Identifier: 

makePassthruHandler creates an object with an object literal, one of the properties of which is "delete". The left-hand-side of the relevant property in the object literal has delete as an identifier, which doesn't parse on V8 (perhaps others). It needs to be quoted.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to use jsdefs.js on V8 (tested on 2.2.24)
Actual Results:  
SyntaxError: Unexpected token delete

Expected Results:  
The object is created as per normal.

Later versions of V8 seem to fix this, so the priority is fairly low, but it doesn't hurt to be conservative here.

Closing as Narcissus isn't maintained anymore.
