问题 For the first time, I began learning Javascript, however on the start I stuck up with two possible options: Rhino and Spidermonkey. Could you please, tell me what is one, and what is another, so I can easily choose for myself the best option that suits my needs. If it makes easier for you, you can list advantages and disadvantages of both Javascript versions. 回答1: It depends on what you're trying to do with JavaScript. If your intent is just to learn the language then I recommend using a web

可以将文章内容翻译成中文,广告屏蔽插件可能会导致该功能失效(如失效,请关闭广告屏蔽插件后再试): 问题: I noticed ubuntu 10.04 removed the spidermonkey package. Rhino looks like it's still there though. What are the differences between rhino and spidermonkey (besides what language they're written in). And why did they remove spidermonkey? 回答1: I'm afraid the difference is the language they are written in, or what it means. People use C/C++ to write all manner of things (like Firefox) whereas Java is most prevalent in Application Servers.

How to find a JS function declaration in browser sources?

问题 How do I find a JS function declaration in the sources of FF ? First I wanted to find declaration of function "copy". I opened console, typed and executed 'copy.toSource()', the output said it is the native code. I looked this question page, followed link, downloaded sources and I thought I'll just search for word 'copy' but search results were colossal, there were about 17k entries, there's no way I can find 'copy' declaration here) Any ideas how to find 'copy' declaration, in which

ES6 Maps and Sets: how are object keys indexed efficiently?

房东的猫 提交于 2019-12-02 06:00:33
问题 In ES6, Maps and Sets can use Objects as keys. However since the ES6 specification does not dictate the underlying implementation of these datastructures, I was wondering how does the modern JS engines store the keys in order to guarantee O(1) or at least sublinear retrieval? In a language like Java, the programmer can explicitly provide a (good) hashCode method which would hash the keys evenly in the key space in order to guarantee the performance. However since JS does not have such

In a language like Java, the programmer can explicitly provide a (good) hashCode method which would hash the keys evenly in the key space in order to guarantee the performance. However since JS does not have such features, would it still be fair to still assume they use some sort of hashing in the Maps and Sets

Garbage collector issues on spidermonkey… JS_AnchorPtr()?

流过昼夜 提交于 2019-12-01 23:07:40
I've rolled my own javascript server side language called bondi. Just recently upgraded to the new spider monkey. Now that JS enter local roots and leave local roots function is gone/useless from the 1.8.5 api, is it enough to just use anchor pointer( JS_AnchorPtr(varname) ) at the end of your function calls to make sure the compiler isn't removing references to keep the garbage collector happy? I've been testing it by removing all my references to JS_EnterLocalRootScope ( see here ) / Leave local root scope and adding JS_AnchorPtr() to the bottom of the script. I looked up AnchorPoint

Take user input with JavaScript in the console

问题 I need to get user input when running a .js in a console with spidermonkey like this: $ js myprogram.js What's the JavaScript equivalent of Ruby's gets ? 回答1: As far as I know, there is a readline() function, but it is a specific function for spidermonkey, it isn't a part of javascript. Example: 1)readline-test.js: print("Type some text and press <ENTER>:\t"); var userInput = readline(); print("User input: " + userInput); 2)js readline-test.js For more information see https://developer
