Another version: ================================================ Function.prototype.bind( context, [ preArg1 [, preArg1 [,...]]]) 1. if this object does not have a [[Call]] property, throw a TypeError 2. let FUN = this 3. let PREARGS = a copy of the argument list provided by the caller, starting from position 1. 4. Call [[Get]] method of PREARGS with argument "length". 5. let RETFUN = a new Function object. 6. let POSTARGS = a copy of FUN's argument list, starting from position Result(4). 7. Set RETFUN's FormalParameterList to POSTARGS. 8. let SCOPE = a new Object. 9. For each property in PREARGS, create a Property on SCOPE with a corresponding name and value. 10. Set RETFUN's scope chain to SCOPE 11. Set the Base object for RETFUN to context. 12. Return RETFUN. The length property of the bind method is 1. ================================================ Shorter. A little easier to read in that it has no branch. What about step 11? 11. Set the Base object for RETFUN to context. The problem I see with that is that given: var n = f.bind(o); n.call(p); n.call will set the execution context to p. That seems wrong. n should always execute in context of o. Shouldn't it? Interesting Side effect: The returned function's length is FUN.length - PREARGS.length; Thoughts?
