992977 - JS_DefineProperties incorrectly equates the absence of JSPROP_NATIVE_ACCESSORS with selfHosting

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Bobby Holley (:bholley)]

See http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/js/src/jsapi.cpp#3196

JSPROP_NATIVE_ACCESSORS has historically meant that that the accessors are JSNatives, not JSPropertyOps. So If anyone was using JS_DefineProperties these days for JSPropertyOp-backed properties (which they apparently aren't), they'd hit the self-hosting branch and assert.

So, do we want to go fix this? Or do we want to just declare victory and change the JSPropertySpec format to take JSNatives directly?

Looks like Nathan introduced this in bug 958262.

And bug 958262 comment 8 implies that till was even aware of this?

Uh... Declare victory, for sure. Is it really true no one is using that anymore? This seems too good to be true.

Urgh, I somehow missed this needinfo :(

And yes, declare victory, definitely. I don't know why I didn't see that this means that we can get rid of even more stuff, but it's very nice.
