Bug 65829 – JavaScript console can't evaluate expression in strict context

• Component: Web Inspector
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Mark S. Miller]

In WebKit Nightly Version 5.0.6 (5533.22.3, r92569), open the attachment and follow the instructions.

The next attachment will show what I see when I do so.

Load and follow instructions to see JavaScript console bug

What I see when I follow the instructions on previous attachment

This screenshot seems to demonstrate that, when the JavaScript console is in a strict context and tries to evaluate an expression, it first surrounds the expression with a "with" statement and then tries to evaluate the resulting string in a strict context. This of course cannot work, since "with" is illegal in strict mode.

Demonstrates that the bug also occurs on the released Safari 5.0.6

[David Baumgold]

Confirmed that this bug is still occuring in the latest version of Safari (Version 5.1.3 (7534.53.10)) and in the latest Webkit Nightly build (r108593).

s/stay in/stay out of/ -- we're evaluating inside a strict mode function, but then injecting a non-strict function.

I think we should surround this case in an empty function expression. That way, the behavior of things like "var" won't change.

So far we were hiding all the differences like this behind Script* boundary. Also, could we instead introduce evaluateFunction getter that v8 will fail to return instead of this boolean flag? That way InjectedScriptSource will be compiler friendly.

How is this not patch not compiler friendly?

I considered exposing evaluateFunction. But I didn't want both evaluate and evaluateFunction in the JSC path. We want to have only one way to evaluate.

I just updated to the latest Nightly, which self-identifies as r146901  and  6.0.3 (8536.28.10, 537+). Attached is the first screenshot demonstrating that the bug still isn't fixed, but manifests differently. Second screenshot in next attachment

Thanks Mark. Apparently my strict mode test stopped triggering strict mode due to a bug — and I totally missed this.

I have a fix coming right up.

Migrating to new component. The patch has undoubtedly bitrotted.

This has been fixed in TOT and Safari 7 with a different approach.
