73555 - NativeError constructors have wrong [[Class]] property

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Rhino Graveyard :: Core, defect)

Description

[Phil Schwartau]

The testcase above has been newly added to the JS test suite. 
It is passing in SpiderMonkey, but failing in Rhino:


BUGNUMBER: 56868
STATUS: Testing the internal [[Class]] property of native error constructors
*-* Testcase ecma_3/Object/class-004.js failed:
Failure messages were:

FAILED!: Current constructor is: EvalError
FAILED!: Expected value 'Function', Actual value 'NativeMethod'

FAILED!: Current constructor is: RangeError
FAILED!: Expected value 'Function', Actual value 'NativeMethod'

FAILED!: Current constructor is: ReferenceError
FAILED!: Expected value 'Function', Actual value 'NativeMethod'

FAILED!: Current constructor is: SyntaxError
FAILED!: Expected value 'Function', Actual value 'NativeMethod'

FAILED!: Current constructor is: TypeError
FAILED!: Expected value 'Function', Actual value 'NativeMethod'

FAILED!: Current constructor is: URIError
FAILED!: Expected value 'Function', Actual value 'NativeMethod'



I would expect the [[Class]] property of any JS constructor to be 'Function'.
Notice Rhino does give 'Function' as the [[Class]] property of Error.
