Hey all,

I was looking at implementing a membrane using ES6 proxies and ran into a snag. Consider a situation where object A has prototype B. A' is a proxy implementing the membrane, whose target is A.

But now if Object.getPrototypeOf(A') is invoked the return value will be B (unless it just throws). There's no way for A' to return a new proxy B' whose target is B in this situation.

Is the intent here that the membrane should not be using A as its target but some third object A''?

This. The target is for nonconfigurable properties. A membrane wants to hide the real target. See

http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:direct_proxies (look for membrane and shadow)

/be

  Or am I just missing something?

-Boris
