This PR, co-authored with @0xe , implements
super
support insideeval
. It is stacked on top of #1735.The semantics come for "free", i.e. trying to resolve
super
when doingeval
works automatically because it will do the same logic as a nested arrow function, i.e. look it up from the activation (theNativeCall
).So, the changes are really only related to the parser and need to allow
super
insideeval
. We have implemented this by adding a new flag inCompilerEnvirons
that is filled automatically during aneval
call. We have chosen this approach because it allowssuper
to be used in other places, such as a debugger's watch or immediate evaluation.
