Bug 220842 – A question about global variables

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: JavaScriptCore

[NWU_NISL]

#version: dbae081(https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit-http/commit/dbae081ad7e22d9ab61edf2f337f6c2bb593c7f8)

#Testcase:
var x = 4;
Object.defineProperty(this, 'x', {
    writable: false
});
x = 3;
print(x);
print(this.x);

#Command:
./webkit/WebKitBuild/Release/bin/jsc testcase.js

#Output:
3
4

#Expected output:
4
4

#Description:
When executing this test case, since x is not writable (in line 3), other engines (such as v8, SpiderMonkey, chakra, etc.) did not change the value of x, but JavascriptCore successfully changed the value of x to 3. Maybe this is a bug of JavascriptCore.

@Alexey maybe this is the same to https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203456 ?

Yeah, that's right, thanks.
I wish we could remove JSGlobalObject::defineOwnProperty() though...
