A Program Logic for JavaScript (Philippa Gardner)

Looks at how we reason about JavaScript memory store.

Covers variable assignment and how to reason about scope in ECMAScript 3.

  • reasoning about the emulated variable store
  • Maffeis operational semantics
  • abstraction layers and exampes
Emulated Variable Store
function: lambda paramerters and body

{code} / Q: what are the values of x, y, and z / show reasoning about javascript variable lookup

x = null; y = null; z = null;

f = function(w) { x = v; v = 4; var v; // hoist y = v; };

v = 5; f(null); z = v;

// console.log(x, y, z); {code}

with: parsing and scope

{code} / Q: when is with applied? / {storeLS(a, f|)*l = LS} // Scenario: parsing with included external libraris a = { x: 1};

with(a) { f = function(y) { return x; }; };

a = {x: 2}; f(); // console.log(f()); {code}
