Description Cameron Zwarich (cpst) 2008-04-24 23:22:40 PDT
Consider the following example:

---

var text = "PASS";

function a()
{
  var text = "FAIL";
  function b()
  {
    alert(this.text);
  }

  this.c = function()
  {
    b();
  }
  b();
}

(new a()).c();

---

This code should print PASS twice, but instead prints PASS once and then FAIL. This affects the JavaScriptCore test js1_5/Scope/scope-003.js.

Proposed patch

This patch fixes js1_5/Scope/scope-003.js, and it also fixes ecma/String/15.5.4.6-2.js.

Revised proposed patch

The ecma/String/15.5.4.6-2.js fix doesn't seem legitimate, so I modified the ChangeLog to reflect this.

Upon further review, this patch really did legitimately fix that test case after all.
