Bug 247789 – new-target Syntax Error

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

[Kanguk Lee]

// input.js
class x { static { if ( 0 ?. [ { [ Symbol . toPrimitive ] : x => super [ new . target ( ) ] } ] ** 0 ) ; } }
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Hello,

Executing the input.js using JSC throws SyntaxError, but TypeError is expected.

Running the input.js with JSC results in:

---
$ jsc input.js
Exception: SyntaxError: new.target is not valid inside arrow functions in global code.
at input.js:1
---

while other engines behave like:

---
# V8 (used console.log)
$ node input.js
input.js:1
class x { static { if ( 0 ?. [ { [ Symbol . toPrimitive ] : x => super [ new . target ( ) ] } ] ** 0 ) ; } }
                                                                               ^

TypeError: .new.target is not a function
...

Node.js v18.11.0

# GraalJS
$ js input.js
TypeError: <new.target> is not a function
	at <js> :=>(input.js:1:73-88)
	at <js> :initializer(input.js:1:24-94)
	at <js> :program(input.js:1:0-107)
