676823 - TM: Different errors for undefined variable with/without -a

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 622271

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Christian Holler (:decoder)]

The following test throws different error messages when run with options -j -m vs. -j -m -a (tested on mozilla-inbound revision 1d1c771a3aba):

{
  summary += '{'
  function f() {
    print( test < 16 );
  }
}

Note that the surrounding { } are necessary here. The errors I get are:

With -j -m: min.js:2: ReferenceError: reference to undefined property "summary"
With -j -m -a: min.js:2: ReferenceError: summary is not defined

I don't know if this is a bug or not, and which error message is the better one (I assume the second one), but for differential testing (i.e. comparing shell outputs with different options), it would be good to have error messages consistent.
