Paul Joseph Davis commented on COUCHDB-1397:
--------------------------------------------
Firstly, I'm not thinking of eval, I'm thinking of
JS_CompileScript/JS_CompileUCScript which is where this restriction is actually
applied. Secondly, I didn't say transforms are out of the question, I said they
are heavily discouraged. The reason for discouraging them is because they break
shit as demonstrated by all the people that wrote in to tell me I broke shit
with the simple paren wrapping approach not to mention that this is the sort of
engineering that leads to SQL injection.
Just because it's the easy answer for some folks doesn't necessarily mean its
the right call.

> 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.")
