Re: [Firefox]"print"

Show key headers only | View raw

Stefan Ram kept talking to himself:

“print” in Mozilla JavaScript is still something else than
“this.print” (in global browser context equivalent to “window.print”):

| $ dpkg -l libmozjs-24-bin | grep ^.i
| ii  libmozjs-24-bin 24.2.0-2     amd64       Spidermonkey JavaScript shell
| 
| $ dpkg -L libmozjs-24-bin 
| /.
| /usr
| /usr/bin
| /usr/bin/js24
| /usr/share
| /usr/share/doc
| /usr/share/doc/libmozjs-24-bin
| /usr/share/doc/libmozjs-24-bin/changelog.Debian.gz
| /usr/share/doc/libmozjs-24-bin/copyright 
| 
| $ js24
| js> help(print);
| JavaScript-C24.2.0
| print([exp ...])
|   Evaluate and print expressions to stdout.
| js> 

By contrast,

| $ js --help | head -n 1
| Usage: node [options] [ -e script | script.js ] [arguments] 
| 
| $ js -v
| v0.10.38

Node.js 0.10.38, …

| $ js -e 'console.log(process.versions.v8);'
| 3.14.5.8

based on Google V8 JavaScript 3.14.5.8):

| $ js -e 'print(42);'
| 
| [eval]:1
| print(42);
| ^
| ReferenceError: print is not defined
|     at [eval]:1:1
|     at Object.<anonymous> ([eval]-wrapper:6:22)
|     at Module._compile (module.js:456:26)
|     at evalScript (node.js:536:25)
|     at startup (node.js:80:7)
|     at node.js:906:3

So this has nothing to do with Firefox and its Web Console, everything with 
the ECMAScript implementation (provided by the Gecko layout engine) that is 
used by it.

It is most obvious in the result of what you have *not* tried so far:

,-[Iceweasel 38.1.0 Web Console]
| 
| 01:28:04.562 > print();
| 01:28:04.569 < "undefined"
| 01:28:09.221 > print
| 01:28:09.230 < function JSTH_print()
| 01:28:16.522 > this.print
| 01:28:16.538 < function print()
| 01:31:00.768 > window.print
| 01:31:00.775 < function print()
| 01:31:13.967 > this.print === window.print
| 01:31:13.974 < true
| 01:31:49.429 > print(42);
| 01:31:49.436 < "42"

(Exercise: Try the same in Chromium or Chrome.)
