Issue 133: Inconsistent errors when using RegExp literals
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=133
New issue report by polarjs:
This issue was discovered while investigating ecma_2/RegExp/regress-001.js
of the mozilla JS tests. Here's a piece of test code that reduces the
issue:
==== BEGIN ==================================
var a = /[a-km-z]+/;
var b = a("hello");
print("b = " + b);
var c = /[a-km-z]+/("hello");
print("c = " + c);
==== END ==================================
Running JavaScriptCore, I get:
=============================
b = he
c = he
Running v8 bleeding edge, I get:
===============================
test3.js:27: TypeError: Property 'a' of object [object global] is not a
function
var b = a("hello");
^
If I swap case 'b' and 'c' in the test, on v8, I get:
=====================================================
native runtime.js:177: TypeError: object is not a function
throw %MakeTypeError('called_non_callable', [typeof callee]);
^
Why am I getting 2 different errors when the only difference is whether I
use the RegExp literal directly or indirectly? Is the second case a v8
internal error?
Tested with revision 631 of v8 bleeding edge.
