Bug 142424 – ES6: Iterator toString names should be consistent

• Component: JavaScriptCore
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Joseph Pecoraro]

* SUMMARY
Iterator Object Names in the spec right now have spaces. In our implementation some do and some don't.

* TEST

  js> "string"[Symbol.iterator]().toString()
  <-  "[object StringIterator]"

  js> (new Map).entries().toString()
  <-  "[object Map Iterator]"

We have Map/Set with spaces, but String/Array without spaces. Also, I don't know what would be expected of "ArgumentsIterator" given it is an internal type.

* SPEC

> 21.1.5.2.2 %StringIteratorPrototype% [ @@toStringTag ]
> The initial value of the @@toStringTag property is the string value "String Iterator".
> 
> 22.1.5.2.2 %ArrayIteratorPrototype% [ @@toStringTag ]
> The initial value of the @@toStringTag property is the string value "Array Iterator".
> 
> 23.1.5.2.2 %MapIteratorPrototype% [ @@toStringTag ]
> The initial value of the @@toStringTag property is the string value "Map Iterator".
> 
> 23.2.5.2.2 %SetIteratorPrototype% [ @@toStringTag ]
> The initial value of the @@toStringTag property is the string value "Set Iterator".

I think it is weird to have spaces. The spec defines "GeneratorFunction" without a space.

Maybe this is something that should change in the spec or be discussed.
