A "cached" null setter should throw a TypeException when called in strict mode and doesn't

• Component: JavaScriptCore
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Michael Saboff]

The put by id caching only has logic to return undefined when a setter is null.  The ECMAScript spec requires that a null setter throws a TypeException.  The (soon to be) attached test demonstrates the problem.

This looks wrong. A setter can't be called as a constructor, can it? I don't think your test covers this case, either. You should probably remove the constructor path.

Filed <https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140708> - "Eliminate construct methods from NullGetterFunction and NullSetterFunction classes" to track removing the constructor path.
