// Bug 972961 - Test compiler with very long chains of property accesses // Return true if we can compile a chain of n property accesses, // false if we cannot. Throw if compilation fails in an unexpected way. function test(n) { print("testing " + n); try { eval('if (false) {' + Array(n).join(("a.")) + 'a}'); } catch (exc) { // Expected outcome if the expression is too deeply nested is an InternalError. if (!(exc instanceof InternalError)) throw exc; print(exc.message); return false; } print("no exception"); return true; } // Find out how long a chain is enough to break the compiler. var n = 4, LIMIT = 0x000fffff; var lo = 1, hi = 1; while (n <= LIMIT && test(n)) { lo = n; n *= 4; } // Using binary search, find a pass/fail boundary (in order to // test the edge case). if (n <= LIMIT) { hi = n; while (lo !== hi) { var mid = Math.floor((lo + hi) / 2); if (test(mid)) lo = mid + 1; else hi = mid; } print((lo - 1) + " attributes should be enough for anyone"); }
