ECMA Section: 10.1.4 Scope Chain and Identifier Resolution
26
Every execution context has associated with it a scope chain. This is
27
logically a list of objects that are searched when binding an Identifier.
28
When control enters an execution context, the scope chain is created and
29
is populated with an initial set of objects, depending on the type of
30
code. When control leaves the execution context, the scope chain is
33
During execution, the scope chain of the execution context is affected
34
only by WithStatement. When execution enters a with block, the object
35
specified in the with statement is added to the front of the scope chain.
36
When execution leaves a with block, whether normally or via a break or
37
continue statement, the object is removed from the scope chain. The object
38
being removed will always be the first object in the scope chain.
40
During execution, the syntactic production PrimaryExpression : Identifier
41
is evaluated using the following algorithm:
43
1. Get the next object in the scope chain. If there isn't one, go to step 5.
44
2. Call the [[HasProperty]] method of Result(l), passing the Identifier as
46
3. If Result(2) is true, return a value of type Reference whose base object
47
is Result(l) and whose property name is the Identifier.
49
5. Return a value of type Reference whose base object is null and whose
50
property name is the Identifier.
51
The result of binding an identifier is always a value of type Reference with
52
its member name component equal to the identifier string.
