If I define a setter for Array.prototype[0], does [].push invoke that setter?
Test code: <!doctype html><html><body> <script> Object.defineProperty( Array.prototype, 0, { get : function() { alert('get 0'); return this.zero; }, set : function(v) { alert('set 0 ' + v); this.zero = v; }, enumerable : true, configurable : false }); var a = []; alert('before push a[0] = ' + a[0]); a.push(44); alert('after push a[0] = ' + a[0]); </script> </body></html> On all the browsers I've tried so far, the setter doesn't get invoked. However, it looks to me like the ES5.1 spec says the setter should get invoked: 15.4.4.7 says push() invokes the [[Put]] internal method 8.12.5 says [[Put]] tries to use an inherited property descriptor if there isn't an own property descriptor. _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
