Comment #2 on issue 264 by [email protected]: Allow __noSuchMethod__ implementations http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=264
I am the original requestor for this enhancement to be added to the Mozilla codebase years ago (back in 2003 actually). Therefore, I am very, very excited that you guys add it to V8! ECMA e4 is now a dead branch of the language and the ECMA committee has decided to move more slowly, starting with ECMA e5. I would say that both the C-based Spidermonkey JS engine and the Java-based Rhino engine have implemented __noSuchMethod__ and, for us ex-Smalltalkers, having a 'doesNotUnderstand'-like functionality is very empowering :-). Here is the original URL in the Mozilla Bugzilla bug database that added support for it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196097 I've attached the same test case file that I used for that bug here. It exercises the hook quite well, especially 'scott's test'. I've also proposed this to the ECMA committee and have attached that proposal to this bug as another file. It explains the rationale for such a mechanism in detail. Feel free to contact me for further details or for someone to test this when you add it!! Thanks very much!
