Hi,
In ECMAScript, function declarations are SourceElements, but not
Statements. This means that they can only occur at the top level, and
may not be nested inside a block.
However, browsers support function declarations as statements, and many
scripts on the web seem to make use of this ability, especially after
they have been minified.
Is there a spec anywhere for how functions as statements should behave?
Can they be rewritten to var + function expression, so that this:
{
function f() { return 17 }
}
becomes this:
{
var f = function() { return 17 }
}
When implementing non-standard features, it would be nice to do so in a
standard manner :)
Best regards,
Michael
