Jason Smith commented on COUCHDB-1397: -------------------------------------- And since when has the contents of "map" become a global scope? Who made that decision? Was it you? Really, if eval() is the only arrow in your quiver then it's no wonder you see the problem this way. And how have you decided so-called "source-to-source translations" are out of the question? They are the backbone of JavasScript encapsulation, undergirding CommonJS (CouchDB and Node), RequireJS, Ender.js, and no doubt more. It's just a couple of parens on either side. Look into your heart. You know it's the right call. > Function expressions, evals in SpiderMonkey > ------------------------------------------- > > 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.
