But what exactly is "too late"? * * In this test, the global variable in question is "objB". To define * it "too late", it is not enough to have 'var objB = etc.' as the * last line of the script. All var statements in top-level script * are "hoisted" and processed FIRST (before any assignments). * * So we define objB on the last line without any 'var'. * The fact that objB is an object variable is immaterial. */ //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- var bug:String = '(none)'; var summary:String = "Negative test: access a variable before it is defined"; var cnFAILURE:String = 'Expected an exception to be thrown, but none was -'; class A { var obj:Object; constructor function A() { obj = objB; // defined below (BUT TOO LATE) } } class B { var obj:Object; constructor function B() { obj = {}; } } class C { var obj:Object; constructor function C() { obj = new A; } } printBugNumber (bug); printStatus (summary); // creates a new A; but this depends on objB... var objC = new C; // see Introduction for why we leave out the 'var' objB = new B; // WE SHOULD NEVER REACH THIS POINT - reportFailure(cnFAILURE);
