This is well known. Engines can implement lazy data properties too but maybe that is too magical. I'm fine speccing this as an accessor but if it is an accessor we should spec it as on Error.prototype and not on the instance. > Critical for tools is the ability to linkify the stack trace so we > need the grammar to allow the URLs to be unambiguously parsable, > including avoiding content of the error message from interfering. Agreed and I believe the V8 format fulfills that requirement. -- erik _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
