Paul Joseph Davis commented on COUCHDB-1397:
--------------------------------------------
@Jason
I reject the premise that there's a distinction to be made between valid
JavaScript and valid "CouchDB programming". At this point I would say that if
its not possible to have whatever we decide pass jslint in a copy/paste manner,
then its not valid anything.
Also, the function body thing is the same thing I suggested as an aside except
that the wrapping it in a function part is useless and will lead to more issues
than it solves. Also, it has the same issues that if you did do it, the
included code would be executed everytime (ie, if you pulled in a large helper
it would redefine everything again (also note, this is not the same as
compilation)).

> Key: COUCHDB-1397
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1397
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: JavaScript View Server
> Affects Versions: 1.2.1
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Jason Smith
>
> New SpiderMonkey releases do not eval() a sole anonymous function expression.
> That is not a valid JavaScript statement, and so it is not a valid JavaScript
> script.
> COUCHDB-1302 addressed this for 1.1 and the 1.1.x branch. This ticket is for
> 1.2. (Sorry to spam COUCHDB-1302. I saw "Unassigned" and read "Unresolved.")
