Description Oliver Hunt 2011-01-18 15:08:15 PST
tryItOut("\"use strict\";h();/**/function h(){(0)}(3);function __proto__(){/j/}\"\"")

Adding function labelled __proto__ triggers a changed prototype transition, which converts the structure into a non-dictionary type, leading to badness.

I'm inclined to simply disallow __proto__ as a variable or function declaration inside eval code.

We should pop up an alert scolding anyone for running code that redefines __proto__.

I'd support disallowing __proto__as a variable or function name in eval code, but it could seem a little arbitrary.  Personally I'd go so far as to disallow it everywhere.
