The Lexer and AST already have all the functionality required in place,
so this is just updating Parser::match_secondary_expression() and
Parser::parse_expression() to handle TokenType::{Ampersand,Pipe,Caret},
as well as adding some tests.
This adds Function::construct() for constructor function calls via `new`
keyword. NativeFunction doesn't have constructor behaviour by default,
ScriptFunction simply calls call() in construct()
This adds:
- A global Date object (with `length` property and `now` function)
- The Date constructor (no arguments yet)
- The Date prototype (with `get*` functions)
Fix the "instanceof" operator to check if the constructor's prototype
property occurs anywhere in the prototype chain of the instance object.
This patch also adds Object.setPrototypeOf() to make it possible to
create a test for this bug.
Thanks to DexesTTP for pointing this out! :^)
This operator walks the prototype chain of the RHS value and looks for
a "prototype" property with the same value as the prototype of the LHS.
This is pretty cool. :^)
NewExpression mostly piggybacks on the existing CallExpression. The big
difference is that "new" creates a new Object and passes it as |this|
to the callee.
Unary expressions parsing now respects precedence and associativity of
operators. This patch also makes `typeof` left-associative which was
an oversight.
Thanks to Conrad for helping me work this out. :^)
We were interpreting "undefined" as a variable lookup failure in some
cases and throwing a ReferenceError exception instead of treating it
as the valid value "undefined".
This patch wraps the result of variable lookup in Optional<>, which
allows us to only throw ReferenceError when lookup actually fails.
