I think we can settle this now.

Lets allow an argument.

Hi,

I don't see the point of throwing an error when calling .next('foo') on
a newborn generator.  We don't throw an error on .next('foo', 'bar'),
and unlike the case with most function calls there is no way to get the
'bar' when resuming a generator, as you don't have an arguments object.

I would punt on this issue entirely, and ideally remove the
"suspendedStart" state from the spec, renaming "suspendedYield" to
simply "suspended".

Just MHO:)


I agree, and I thought we agreed at the last TC39 meeting, but I was 
wrong or else it got lost.


We'll settle it at the early April meeting.

Hi,

I don't see the point of throwing an error when calling .next('foo') on
a newborn generator.  We don't throw an error on .next('foo', 'bar'),
and unlike the case with most function calls there is no way to get the
'bar' when resuming a generator, as you don't have an arguments object.

I would punt on this issue entirely, and ideally remove the
"suspendedStart" state from the spec, renaming "suspendedYield" to
simply "suspended".

Just MHO :)

I thought we agreed at the January 28 meeting to get rid of this 
error, but I can't find it in the notes. The January meeting notes 
have missed other conclusions, though. Allen?

"BN: Have to go back and think more about this. Maybe a helper function

It looks like no ferm decision has been made yet.

Fwd: .next('yo') in newborn generators

2014-02-19 Thread Bradley Meck
take for example a function that accepts an iterator:

```javascript
function test(name, iterable) {
  try {
 var iterator = iterable[Symbol.iterator]();
console.log(name,'with value for first next', iterator.next(1))
  }
  catch(e) {
console.error(name,'failed value for first next', e);
  }
}
var arr = [1,2];
var set = new Set({first:true},{second:true});
var str = 'ab';
var gen=function*(){
  yield 1;
  yield 2;
};
test('array', arr);
test('set', set);
test('string', str);
test('generator', gen());
```

If I am reading the spec right (and I may not be), only the generator
should fail? The first call to gen().next(value) must have value be
undefined, and the others do not check.
