Bug 173053 – \n\r is not the same as \r\n

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: JavaScriptCore

[Peter van der Zee]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. eval("'\\\n\r'")

What is the expected output?

Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token

What do you see instead?

A parser bug! :)

Description:

The spec explicitly treats `\r\n` as a single newline token rather than two but individual `\n` and `\r` characters cause individual newline tokens. When back-to-back `\n\r` causes two tokens. This is normally not very relevant, only to the point of line number reporting, but there's an edge case concerning so called "newline escapes" in single/double strings; Escaping a newline there takes this distinction into account and `'\\\r\n'` should be fine while `'\\\n\r'` should trigger an error on an unescaped `\r`.

Seems like a simple thing to fix.  I'll take a look.

proposed patch w/ updated test baselines.

The patch applies properly: I tested applying it locally on another checkout.  The EWS patching system just does not like the \r in the patch.  Unfortunately, the nature of this fix is in the handling of \n\r.  So, I can't remove the use of \r in the test case.

Let's get the patch reviewed.

Let's change this comment.

I think now this LineNumberAdder is not necessary. This is added to increnting one line number with <LF><CR> while normalizing them as <LF><LF>.
However, now, our Lexer does not accept `<LF><CR>` as one line terminator. Thus, I think we can discard this class!

I deleted the comment.  I think the code now says what is allowed clearly enough.

Thanks.  Fixed.

I'm still working thru some test failures.  This is a low priority task for me, but I'm trying to wrap it up.
