896697 - Change TypedArray.{buffer, byteLength, byteOffset, length} to be accessors on %TypedArray%.prototype

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 896116

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Brandon Benvie [:benvie]]

The four own properties (buffer, byteLength, byteOffset, and length) have been changed to accessors that live on %TypedArray%.prototype. See ES6 spec draft (July 2013 revision) sections 15.13.6.3.2, 15.13.6.3.3, 15.13.6.3.4, and 15.13.6.3.5.

I was a bit mistaken, these are already accessors. However, they do still need to be moved from each TypedArray type's prototype to a singular getter on %TypedArray%.prototype.

I think it's safe to say at this point that when %TypedArray% happens, the accessors will move without particular effort, so I'm going to mark a dup here.  I might do %TypedArray% myself soon, actually, for various reasons, and if so this'll certainly be in mind.
