Zachary D. Rowitsch 75bc30bb8e Add JavaScript arrow function (=>) support
Implement parsing, evaluation, lexical this capture, and new rejection
for arrow functions. Covers expression bodies, block bodies, zero/single/
multi-param forms, and backtracking disambiguation from grouping parens.

JavaScript Conformance Report

Summary of the JS262 conformance test suite results. Tests are modeled after Test262 but use our own harness since the interpreter doesn't yet support all features required by the Test262 harness (prototype chain remains).

Known Failure Reasons

Feature Reason
for-in For-in loop not yet supported
ternary Ternary operator not yet supported
arrow-functions (implemented — promoted to pass)
bitwise-ops Bitwise operators not yet supported
instanceof instanceof operator not yet supported
stack-overflow Skipped — default recursion depth exhausts Rust stack before statement limit fires

Harness Design

The JS262 harness (tests/js262_harness.rs) supports two execution modes:

  • script: Runs JS through JsEngine with a CaptureSink for console output
  • dom: Runs JS through WebApiFacade with virtual clock for deterministic scheduling

Tests can specify:

  • expected_output: Compare console output against a golden .txt file
  • expected_error: Verify error class (parse, reference, type, runtime)
  • steps: For dom-mode, specify clock advances and tick counts

Policy enforcement uses the same 3-state matrix as the WPT harness:

  • Pass test that passes: OK
  • Pass test that fails: ERROR
  • Known-fail test that fails: OK (expected)
  • Known-fail test that passes: ERROR (promote it)

Real Test262 Tests (Phase A)

50 real tests vendored from tc39/test262 into tests/external/js262/test262/. Each test runs with mode = "test262", which prepends sta.js and assert.js before execution.

Test262 Migration Path

Phase A is now complete. Next steps (Phase B):

  1. Vendor ~500 tests covering variables, expressions, functions, control flow
  2. Use Test262's features metadata to filter to supported features only
  3. Script the manifest generation: parse Test262 YAML frontmatter to TOML entries
  4. Track pass rate as a project metric
