It has a very simple logic, just not the one you're assuming. You're probably thinking that the rule is "if a line doesn't end in a semicolon, and you can insert one without causing this line or the next to have a parse error, do so". The actual rule is "if a line doesn't end in a semicolon, attempt to join it with the following line. If that causes a syntax error, insert a semicolon and try again". In other words, ASI only happens when a semicolon is *required*, not when one is *possible*. > BTW: what about "use strict" ? Does it govern ASI parsing rules? > If not then why? No, strict mode has no effect on ASI. ~TJ _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
