(function() { "use strict"; return 08.9 })()

This should be a syntax error.

For future reference: as per the current spec, it should be a syntax error even in non-strict mode, but unfortunately that ship has sailed. See http://esdiscuss.org/topic/early-error-on-0-followed-by-8-or-9-in-numeric-literals-does-not-seem-to-be-web-compatible for the rationale on why banning it in strict mode might be a good idea for now.

Sorry Oliver Hunt, I didn't realized it was assigned to you.

r=me, but we could you add a test case? easiest is probably to add it to js/parser-syntax-check .  Thanks for the patch :)

`08` and `09` are not octal escapes, since `8` and `9` are not octal digits.

Better error message (+ commit message):

“Decimal integer literals with a leading zero are forbidden in strict mode”

Commit message (first line) still incorrectly mentions “octals”.

Apparently there's a test for octal numbers in strict mode in js/basic-strict-mode. Since I have to resend the patch, should I move the tests I added to js/parser-syntax-check-expected to js/basic-strict-mode?

Generally the first line of the commit message matches the title of the bug in the bugzilla. I think is better not to modify the commit message unless the title of the bug is modified too.

fix the basic-strict-mode test, and leave your new tests in the parser-syntax-check test
