Factor out all ordinary object internal methods into OrdinaryXyz()? about ecma262 HOT 9 CLOSED

You could use the same language as in 9.4.4 Arguments Exotic Objects, for example:

Return the result of calling the default ordinary object [[SetPrototypeOf]] internal method (9.1.2) on O passing V as the argument.

[[Get]], [[Set]] and [[Delete]] for arguments objects use this wording to call the ordinary internal methods.

I guess that covers it; thanks!

Is there a reason ECMAScript uses both patterns?

from ecma262.

@annevk which patterns are you referring to?

from ecma262.

What @anba mentioned and using OrdinaryInternalMethod abstract operations.

from ecma262.

Also, if I say use "default ordinary object [[Get]] internal method", does that mean the [[GetOwnProperty]] call it does (and similar ones) are the normal non-overridden variants as well?

from ecma262.

@annevk
Choice of how to do this is mostly a judgement call by the editor. delegating to OrdinaryX abstraction operation adds a level of indirection that make the normal case harder to read/understand. Using ""default ordinary object..." (and note a section reference is always included) only adds complexity at the "call site".

If you say "call the default ordinary object [[Get]] internal method" (and you need to include a section reference) you mean exactly and only that. If you say "call the [[GetOwnProperty internal method of obj" (or just say obj.[GetOwnProperty] ) you are going throw the meta-level dynamic dispatch to the specific [[GetOwnPrperty]] associated with obj.

from ecma262.

It's still not clear that if you say "call the default ordinary object [[Get]] internal method" that means that the internal methods that that algorithm invokes, are also the default ordinary ones. At least not to me.

from ecma262.

@annevk It is just referring to the internal methods specified in 9.1.

Arguably, the word "default" is redundant as any object that does not use the definitions in 9.1 is not an "ordinary object".
