- Fix scope chain for nested functions at top-level (JSOP_DEFFUN), in a part of another statement (JSOP_CLOSURE), and unnamed in an expression (JSOP_ANONFUNOBJ) to match ECMA-262 13.2. My bad: fp->varobj was used up till now, instead of fp->scopeChain; we still *bind* the name of a statement-level (top or not) nested function in fp->varobj. This fixes bug 69559.

I'm setting the file name to compile to a file. However, on subsequent
compiles, I don't want to compile to a file, so I tried
setTargetClassFileName(null). This causes a NullPpinterException in
OptClassNameHelper.setTargetClassFileName(OptClassNameHelper.java:76)
It seems that Context.setTargetClassFileName() should check for null.
Thanks

Rhino Exception Handling: Inconsistency btw Old/New Versions of 1.5

I've been using Rhino for about a year with almost no problems. However,
I downloaded the latest Rhino tip (rhino15R2pre) and discovered a
significant difference in exception handling.
I rely heavily on JavaScript code like the following:
try {
var em = new ExceptionMaker();
em.npe(); // method throws a java.lang.NullPointerException
//em.ae(); // method throws a Packages.AutomationException
}
catch (e if (e instanceof java.lang.NullPointerException)) {
java.lang.System.out.println("Caught a NullPointerException");
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (e if (e instanceof Packages.AutomationException)) {
java.lang.System.out.println("Caught an AutomationException");
}
catch (e) {
java.lang.System.out.println("Caught an unexpected exception: "+e);
}
finally {
java.lang.System.out.println("Finally!");
}
Previous Rhino versions worked as expected. The exception thrown from
within the host object would be caught and the appropriate actions could
be taken.
With the most recent tip, the thrown exceptions simply are not caught
within the JavaScript. They propagate back to the Java function invoking
the (in my case) Context.evaluateReader() method.
Running the above JS fragement with the older tip displayed the
following stack trace (when the NullPointerException was caught):
Rhino Version: JavaScript-Java 1.5 release 1 2000 03 15

Finally!

Curiously, both Rhino versions seem to be returning the same string from
Context.getImplementionVerison();
Anyway, the results from the two runs are clearly different: In the
first case, the exception is thown, the correct catch block is invoked
(hence the stace trace), and the finally block is invoked. In the second
case, the exception is thrown, the finally block is invoked, and the
exception is handled by the calling Java method rather than being
handled by the JavaScript code.
After some research, it appears this change was introducted by a
modification to FunctionObject.call() (See
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64788) which used to have:
try {
Object result = (method != null)
? method.invoke(thisObj, invokeArgs)
: ctor.newInstance(invokeArgs);
return hasVoidReturn ? Undefined.instance : result;
}
but now has:
Object result = method == null ?
ctor.newInstance(invokeArgs)
: doInvoke(thisObj,
invokeArgs);
If I comment out the new code and replace it with the old, the expected
exception handling returns. Is this just an oversight or the new
expected behavior? Are there any negative side effects (other then the
speed decrease in method invocation) if I use the latest tip but use the
old method invocation procedure in FunctionObject.call() rather than the
new?
- Remove bogus JS_ASSERT(!outermost) from the code that deals with a "#n="
type string being returned from js_EnterSharpObject, where the hash entry
is not yet sharp (because we haven't seen the object twice during depth
first search). This case trivially arises for the outermost object in,
e.g., 'o={}; o.foo=o; uneval(o)'.
- Avoid parenthesizing #n={...} object initializers for uneval, as they are
not ambiguous (whereas {foo:1}, e.g., is ambiguous because it could be a
block statement containing a labeled expression statement, or it could be
an object initializer).
- Death to tabs!

I have found out some more. Looking really quickly over the JVM specs, I
found that
indeed the astore-command requires that the variables index be below 128.
However,
the book also said that if more index space is needed, a "wide" command can
be used to
be able to address up to 65xxx variables.
Question: is there a possibility to integrate this "wide"-command into the
class compiler?
Some option, that can be set? Or am I on the wrong tracks?
Please help, since I want to avoid spreading the script over many classes to
avoid the
size limitation. Cheers, Sylvia

expressions. The method "prefix" on a RegExp behaves exactly the same
as the "exec" method except it returns "undefined" if the match failed
because there was an insufficient number of characters in the
input. E.g.
/^foo/.prefix("foo") => ["foo"] (just like exec)
/^foo/.prefix("fox") => null (just like exec)
/^foo/.prefix("fo") => undefined (whereas exec returns null)

I found something unusual to me when I hacking the Rhino source code.
In tagify method of NativeString Class,
When it adds tag to its string(this.string), it does not use quotation
marks.
For example, the result of tagify("A HREF", "A", value) in
jsFunction_link(String value) is
<A HREF=Some Value>Original String Value</A>
Not,
<A HREF="Some Value">Original String Value</A>
This question might sound silly, but I'm curious why.
Thanks in advance,
Nam

- Optimize compile (parse+emit) operation to generate code for each top-level
statement or function in turn, recycling JSParseNodes as we go for greatly
reduced "long linear script" footprint.
- Fix O(n**2) growth problems in bytecode and srcnote generation.
- Add js_ParseTokenStream entry point to compiler, for tree-generation without
code-generation. Move JSOP_EVAL instruction selection from code-generator to
parser, to match other such specializations and enable js_ParseTokenStream.
- Fix js_CompileTokenStream (and get it right in new js_ParseTokenStream) to
respect JSOPTION_VAROBJFIX.
- Clean up bracing, multi-line conditions, and overlong lines.
