1.2 ECMAScript Specification Types

1.2.1 The Reference Record Specification Type

1.2.1.1 InitializeReferencedBinding ( V, W, hint )

The abstract operation InitializeReferencedBinding takes arguments V, W, and hint (one of normal, sync-dispose, or async-dispose) and returns either a normal completion containing unused or an abrupt completion. It performs the following steps when called:

1. ReturnIfAbrupt(V).
2. ReturnIfAbrupt(W).
3. Assert: V is a Reference Record.
4. Assert: IsUnresolvableReference(V) is false.
5. Let base be V.[[Base]].
6. Assert: base is an Environment Record.
7. Return ? base.InitializeBinding(V.[[ReferencedName]], W, hint).

2 Abstract Operations

2.1 DisposeCapability Records

A DisposeCapability Record is a Record value used to contain a List of DisposableResource Records that are disposed together. DisposeCapability Records are produced by the NewDisposeCapability abstract operation.

DisposeCapability Records have the fields listed in Table 3:

Table 3: DisposeCapability Record Fields Field Name Value Meaning

[[DisposableResourceStack]]	a List of DisposableResource Records	The resources to be disposed. Resources are added in the order they are initialized, and are disposed in reverse order.

2.2 Operations on Disposable Objects

See Common Resource Management Interfaces (12.2.1).

2.2.1 DisposableResource Records

A DisposableResource Record is a Record value used to encapsulate a disposable object along with the method used to dispose the object. DisposableResource Records are produced by the CreateDisposableResource abstract operation.

DisposableResource Records have the fields listed in Table 4:

Table 4: DisposableResource Record Fields Field Name Value Meaning

[[ResourceValue]]	An Object or undefined.	The value to be disposed.
[[Hint]]	sync-dispose or async-dispose.	Indicates whether the resource was added by a using declaration or DisposableStack object (sync-dispose) or a await using declaration or AsyncDisposableStack object (async-dispose).

The abstract operation GetDisposeMethod takes arguments V (an Object) and hint (either sync-dispose or async-dispose) and returns either a normal completion containing either a function object or undefined, or a throw completion. It performs the following steps when called:

1. If hint is async-dispose, then
   1. Let method be ? GetMethod(V, @@asyncDispose).
   2. If method is undefined, then
      1. Set method to ? GetMethod(V, @@dispose).
2. Else,

The abstract operation DisposeResources takes arguments disposeCapability (a DisposeCapability Record) and completion (either a normal completion containing either an ECMAScript language value or empty, or an abrupt completion) and returns either a normal completion containing either an ECMAScript language value or empty, or an abrupt completion. It performs the following steps when called:

1. For each resource of disposeCapability.[[DisposableResourceStack]], in reverse List order, do
   1. Let result be Dispose(resource.[[ResourceValue]], resource.[[Hint]], resource.[[DisposeMethod]]).

4 Executable Code and Execution Contexts

4.1 Environment Records

Environment Record is a specification type used to define the association of Identifiers to specific variables and functions, based upon the lexical nesting structure of ECMAScript code. Usually an Environment Record is associated with some specific syntactic structure of ECMAScript code such as a FunctionDeclaration, a BlockStatement, or a Catch clause of a TryStatement. Each time such code is evaluated, a new Environment Record is created to record the identifier bindings that are created by that code.

Every Environment Record has an [[OuterEnv]] field, which is either null or a reference to an outer Environment Record. This is used to model the logical nesting of Environment Record values. The outer reference of an (inner) Environment Record is a reference to the Environment Record that logically surrounds the inner Environment Record. An outer Environment Record may, of course, have its own outer Environment Record. An Environment Record may serve as the outer environment for multiple inner Environment Records. For example, if a FunctionDeclaration contains two nested FunctionDeclarations then the Environment Records of each of the nested functions will have as their outer Environment Record the Environment Record of the current evaluation of the surrounding function.

Environment Records are purely specification mechanisms and need not correspond to any specific artefact of an ECMAScript implementation. It is impossible for an ECMAScript program to directly access or manipulate such values.

4.1.1 The Environment Record Type Hierarchy

The Environment Record abstract class includes the abstract specification methods defined in Table 5. These abstract methods have distinct concrete algorithms for each of the concrete subclasses.

Table 5: Abstract Methods of Environment Records Method Purpose

HasBinding(N)	Determine if an Environment Record has a binding for the String value N. Return true if it does and false if it does not.
CreateMutableBinding(N, D)	Create a new but uninitialized mutable binding in an Environment Record. The String value N is the text of the bound name. If the Boolean argument D is true the binding may be subsequently deleted.
CreateImmutableBinding(N, S)	Create a new but uninitialized immutable binding in an Environment Record. The String value N is the text of the bound name. If S is true then attempts to set it after it has been initialized will always throw an exception, regardless of the strict mode setting of operations that reference that binding.
InitializeBinding(N, V, hint)	Set the value of an already existing but uninitialized binding in an Environment Record. The String value N is the text of the bound name. V is the value for the binding and is a value of any ECMAScript language type. hint indicates whether the binding came from either a using declaration (sync-dispose), a await using declaration (async-dispose), or a regular variable declaration (normal).
SetMutableBinding(N, V, S)	Set the value of an already existing mutable binding in an Environment Record. The String value N is the text of the bound name. V is the value for the binding and may be a value of any ECMAScript language type. S is a Boolean flag. If S is true and the binding cannot be set throw a TypeError exception.
GetBindingValue(N, S)	Returns the value of an already existing binding from an Environment Record. The String value N is the text of the bound name. S is used to identify references originating in strict mode code or that otherwise require strict mode reference semantics. If S is true and the binding does not exist throw a ReferenceError exception. If the binding exists but is uninitialized a ReferenceError is thrown, regardless of the value of S.
DeleteBinding(N)	Delete a binding from an Environment Record. The String value N is the text of the bound name. If a binding for N exists, remove the binding and return true. If the binding exists but cannot be removed return false. If the binding does not exist return true.
HasThisBinding()	Determine if an Environment Record establishes a this binding. Return true if it does and false if it does not.
HasSuperBinding()	Determine if an Environment Record establishes a super method binding. Return true if it does and false if it does not.
WithBaseObject()	If this Environment Record is associated with a with statement, return the with object. Otherwise, return undefined.

4.1.1.1 Declarative Environment Records

Each Declarative Environment Record is associated with an ECMAScript program scope containing variable, constant, let, class, module, import, and/or function declarations. A declarative Environment Record binds the set of identifiers defined by the declarations contained within its scope.

Every Declarative Environment Record also has a [[DisposeCapability]] field, which contains a DisposeCapability Record. This field holds a stack of resources tracked by the using declarations and await using declarations that must be disposed when the Evaluation step that constructed the Environment Record has completed.

The behaviour of the concrete specification methods for Declarative Environment Records is defined by the following algorithms.

4.1.1.1.1 InitializeBinding ( N, V, hint )

The InitializeBinding concrete method of a declarative Environment Record envRec takes arguments N (a String), V (an ECMAScript language value), and hint (one of normal, sync-dispose, or async-dispose) and returns a normal completion containing unused. It is used to set the bound value of the current binding of the identifier whose name is the value of the argument N to the value of argument V. An uninitialized binding for N must already exist. It performs the following steps when called:

1. Assert: envRec must have an uninitialized binding for N.
2. If hint is not normal, perform ? AddDisposableResource(envRec, V, hint).
3. Set the bound value for N in envRec to V.
4. Record that the binding for N in envRec has been initialized.
5. Return unused.

4.1.1.2 Object Environment Records

4.1.1.2.1 InitializeBinding ( N, V, hint )

The InitializeBinding concrete method of an object Environment Record envRec takes arguments N (a String), V (an ECMAScript language value), and hint (one of normal, sync-dispose, or async-dispose) and returns either a normal completion containing unused or a throw completion. It is used to set the bound value of the current binding of the identifier whose name is the value of the argument N to the value of argument V. It performs the following steps when called:

1. Assert: hint is normal.
2. Perform ? envRec.SetMutableBinding(N, V, false).
3. Return unused.

Note

4.1.1.3 Global Environment Records

4.1.1.3.1 InitializeBinding ( N, V, hint )

The InitializeBinding concrete method of a global Environment Record envRec takes arguments N (a String), V (an ECMAScript language value), and hint (one of normal, sync-dispose, or async-dispose) and returns either a normal completion containing unused or a throw completion. It is used to set the bound value of the current binding of the identifier whose name is the value of the argument N to the value of argument V. An uninitialized binding for N must already exist. It performs the following steps when called:

1. Let DclRec be envRec.[[DeclarativeRecord]].
2. If ! DclRec.HasBinding(N) is true, then
   1. Return ! DclRec.InitializeBinding(N, V, hint).
3. Assert: If the binding exists, it must be in the object Environment Record.
4. Assert: hint is normal.
5. Let ObjRec be envRec.[[ObjectRecord]].
6. Return ? ObjRec.InitializeBinding(N, V, normal).

5 Ordinary and Exotic Objects Behaviours

5.1 ECMAScript Function Objects

5.1.1 FunctionDeclarationInstantiation ( func, argumentsList )

The abstract operation FunctionDeclarationInstantiation takes arguments func (a function object) and argumentsList. func is the function object for which the execution context is being established.

Note 1

It performs the following steps when called:

2. Let code be func.[[ECMAScriptCode]].
3. Let strict be func.[[Strict]].
4. Let formals be func.[[FormalParameters]].
5. Let parameterNames be the BoundNames of formals.

    1. If d is neither a VariableDeclaration nor a ForBinding nor a BindingIdentifier, then
       1. Assert: d is either a FunctionDeclaration, a GeneratorDeclaration, an AsyncFunctionDeclaration, or an AsyncGeneratorDeclaration.
       2. Let fn be the sole element of the BoundNames of d.
       3. If fn is not an element of functionNames, then
          1. Insert fn as the first element of functionNames.

          3. Insert d as the first element of functionsToInitialize.
15. Let argumentsObjectNeeded be true.
16. If func.[[ThisMode]] is lexical, then
    1. NOTE: Arrow functions never have an arguments object.
    2. Set argumentsObjectNeeded to false.
17. Else if "arguments" is an element of parameterNames, then
    1. Set argumentsObjectNeeded to false.
18. Else if hasParameterExpressions is false, then
    1. If "arguments" is an element of functionNames or if "arguments" is an element of lexicalNames, then
       1. Set argumentsObjectNeeded to false.
19. If strict is true or if hasParameterExpressions is false, then
    1. NOTE: Only a single Environment Record is needed for the parameters, since calls to eval in strict mode code cannot create new bindings which are visible outside of the eval.
    2. Let env be the LexicalEnvironment of calleeContext.
20. Else,
    1. NOTE: A separate Environment Record is needed to ensure that bindings created by direct eval calls in the formal parameter list are outside the environment where parameters are declared.
    2. Let calleeEnv be the LexicalEnvironment of calleeContext.
    3. Let env be NewDeclarativeEnvironment(calleeEnv).
    4. Assert: The VariableEnvironment of calleeContext is calleeEnv.
    5. Set the LexicalEnvironment of calleeContext to env.
21. For each String paramName of parameterNames, do
    1. Let alreadyDeclared be env.HasBinding(paramName).
    2. NOTE: Early errors ensure that duplicate parameter names can only occur in non-strict functions that do not have parameter default values or rest parameters.
    3. If alreadyDeclared is false, then
       1. Perform ! env.CreateMutableBinding(paramName, false).
       2. If hasDuplicates is true, then
          1. Perform ! env.InitializeBinding(paramName, undefined, normal).
22. If argumentsObjectNeeded is true, then
    1. If strict is true or if simpleParameterList is false, then
       1. Let ao be CreateUnmappedArgumentsObject(argumentsList).
    2. Else,
       1. NOTE: A mapped argument object is only provided for non-strict functions that don't have a rest parameter, any parameter default value initializers, or any destructured parameters.
       2. Let ao be CreateMappedArgumentsObject(func, formals, argumentsList, env).
    3. If strict is true, then
       1. Perform ! env.CreateImmutableBinding("arguments", false, false).
    4. Else,
       1. Perform ! env.CreateMutableBinding("arguments", false).
    5. Call env.InitializeBinding("arguments", ao, normal).
    6. Let parameterBindings be the list-concatenation of parameterNames and « "arguments" ».
23. Else,
    1. Let parameterBindings be parameterNames.
24. Let iteratorRecord be CreateListIteratorRecord(argumentsList).
25. If hasDuplicates is true, then
    1. Perform ? IteratorBindingInitialization of formals with iteratorRecord and undefined as arguments.
26. Else,
    1. Perform ? IteratorBindingInitialization of formals with iteratorRecord and env as arguments.
27. If hasParameterExpressions is false, then
    1. NOTE: Only a single Environment Record is needed for the parameters and top-level vars.
    2. Let instantiatedVarNames be a copy of the List parameterBindings.
    3. For each element n of varNames, do
       1. If n is not an element of instantiatedVarNames, then
          1. Append n to instantiatedVarNames.
          2. Perform ! env.CreateMutableBinding(n, false).
          3. Call env.InitializeBinding(n, undefined, normal).
    4. Let varEnv be env.
28. Else,
    1. NOTE: A separate Environment Record is needed to ensure that closures created by expressions in the formal parameter list do not have visibility of declarations in the function body.
    2. Let varEnv be NewDeclarativeEnvironment(env).
    3. Set the VariableEnvironment of calleeContext to varEnv.
    4. Let instantiatedVarNames be a new empty List.
    5. For each element n of varNames, do
       1. If n is not an element of instantiatedVarNames, then
          1. Append n to instantiatedVarNames.
          2. Perform ! varEnv.CreateMutableBinding(n, false).
          3. If n is not an element of parameterBindings or if n is an element of functionNames, let initialValue be undefined.
          4. Else,
             1. Let initialValue be ! env.GetBindingValue(n, false).
          5. Call varEnv.InitializeBinding(n, initialValue, normal).
          6. NOTE: A var with the same name as a formal parameter initially has the same value as the corresponding initialized parameter.
29. NOTE: Annex B.3.2.1 adds additional steps at this point.
30. If strict is false, then
    1. Let lexEnv be NewDeclarativeEnvironment(varEnv).
    2. NOTE: Non-strict functions use a separate Environment Record for top-level lexical declarations so that a direct eval can determine whether any var scoped declarations introduced by the eval code conflict with pre-existing top-level lexically scoped declarations. This is not needed for strict functions because a strict direct eval always places all declarations into a new Environment Record.
31. Else, let lexEnv be varEnv.
32. Set the LexicalEnvironment of calleeContext to lexEnv.
33. Let lexDeclarations be the LexicallyScopedDeclarations of code.
34. For each element d of lexDeclarations, do
    1. NOTE: A lexically declared name cannot be the same as a function/generator declaration, formal parameter, or a var name. Lexically declared names are only instantiated here but not initialized.
    2. For each element dn of the BoundNames of d, do
       1. If IsConstantDeclaration of d is true, then
          1. Perform ! lexEnv.CreateImmutableBinding(dn, true).
       2. Else,
          1. Perform ! lexEnv.CreateMutableBinding(dn, false).

Note

11 Fundamental Objects

11.1 Error Objects

Instances of Error objects are thrown as exceptions when runtime errors occur. The Error objects may also serve as base objects for user-defined exception classes.

When an ECMAScript implementation detects a runtime error, it throws a new instance of one of the NativeError objects defined in 20.5.5 or a new instance of either the AggregateError object defined in 11.1.3, or the SuppressedError object defined in 11.1.4. Each of these objects has the structure described below, differing only in the name used as the constructor name instead of NativeError, in the "name" property of the prototype object, in the implementation-defined "message" property of the prototype object, and in the presence of the %AggregateError%-specific "errors" property or the %SuppressedError%-specific "error" and "suppressed" properties.

11.1.1 Properties of Error Instances

Error instances are ordinary objects that inherit properties from the Error prototype object and have an [[ErrorData]] internal slot whose value is undefined. The only specified uses of [[ErrorData]] is to identify Error, AggregateError, SuppressedError, and NativeError instances as Error objects within Object.prototype.toString.

11.1.2 NativeError Object Structure

When an ECMAScript implementation detects a runtime error, it throws a new instance of one of the NativeError objects defined in 20.5.5. Each of these objects has the structure described below, differing only in the name used as the constructor name instead of NativeError, in the "name" property of the prototype object, and in the implementation-defined "message" property of the prototype object.

For each error object, references to NativeError in the definition should be replaced with the appropriate error object name from 20.5.5.

11.1.2.1 Properties of NativeError Instances

NativeError instances are ordinary objects that inherit properties from their NativeError prototype object and have an [[ErrorData]] internal slot whose value is undefined. The only specified use of [[ErrorData]] is by Object.prototype.toString (20.1.3.6) to identify Error, AggregateError, SuppressedError, or NativeError instances.

11.1.3 AggregateError Objects

11.1.3.1 Properties of AggregateError Instances

AggregateError instances are ordinary objects that inherit properties from their AggregateError prototype object and have an [[ErrorData]] internal slot whose value is undefined. The only specified use of [[ErrorData]] is by Object.prototype.toString (20.1.3.6) to identify Error, AggregateError, SuppressedError, or NativeError instances.

11.1.4 SuppressedError Objects

11.1.4.1 The SuppressedError Constructor

The SuppressedError constructor:

• is %SuppressedError%.
• is the initial value of the "SuppressedError" property of the global object.
• creates and initializes a new SuppressedError object when called as a function rather than as a constructor. Thus the function call SuppressedError(…) is equivalent to the object creation expression new SuppressedError(…) with the same arguments.
• may be used as the value of an extends clause of a class definition. Subclass constructors that intend to inherit the specified SuppressedError behaviour must include a super call to the SuppressedError constructor to create and initialize subclass instances with an [[ErrorData]] internal slot.

11.1.4.1.1 SuppressedError ( error, suppressed, message [ , options ] )

This function performs the following steps when called:

1. If NewTarget is undefined, let newTarget be the active function object; else let newTarget be NewTarget.
2. Let O be ? OrdinaryCreateFromConstructor(newTarget, "%SuppressedError.prototype%", « [[ErrorData]] »).
3. If message is not undefined, then
   1. Let messageString be ? ToString(message).
   2. Perform CreateNonEnumerableDataPropertyOrThrow(O, "message", messageString).
4. Perform ? InstallErrorCause(O, options).
5. Perform CreateNonEnumerableDataPropertyOrThrow(O, "error", error).
6. Perform CreateNonEnumerableDataPropertyOrThrow(O, "suppressed", suppressed).
7. Return O.

11.1.4.2 Properties of the SuppressedError Constructor

The SuppressedError constructor:

• has a [[Prototype]] internal slot whose value is %Error%.
• has the following properties:

11.1.4.2.1 SuppressedError.prototype

The initial value of SuppressedError.prototype is %SuppressedError.prototype%.

This property has the attributes { [[Writable]]: false, [[Enumerable]]: false, [[Configurable]]: false }.

11.1.4.3 Properties of the SuppressedError Prototype Object

The SuppressedError prototype object:

• is %SuppressedError.prototype%.
• is an ordinary object.
• is not an Error instance or an SuppressedError instance and does not have an [[ErrorData]] internal slot.
• has a [[Prototype]] internal slot whose value is %Error.prototype%.

11.1.4.3.1 SuppressedError.prototype.constructor

The initial value of SuppressedError.prototype.constructor is %SuppressedError%.

11.1.4.3.2 SuppressedError.prototype.message

12.2 Resource Management

12.2.1 Common Resource Management Interfaces

An interface is a set of property keys whose associated values match a specific specification. Any object that provides all the properties as described by an interface's specification conforms to that interface. An interface is not represented by a distinct object. There may be many separately implemented objects that conform to any interface. An individual object may conform to multiple interfaces.

12.2.1.1 The Disposable Interface

The Disposable interface includes the property described in Table 6:

Table 6: Disposable Interface Required Properties Property Value Requirements

@@dispose	A function.	Invoking this method notifies the Disposable object that the caller does not intend to continue to use this object. This method should perform any necessary logic to perform explicit clean-up of the resource including, but not limited to, file system handles, streams, host objects, etc. When an exception is thrown from this method, it typically means that the resource could not be explicitly freed. If called more than once on the same object, the function should not throw an exception. However, this requirement is not enforced. When using a Disposable object, it is good practice to create the instance with a using declaration, as the resource will be automatically disposed when the Block or Module immediately containing the declaration has been evaluated.

12.2.1.2 The AsyncDisposable Interface

The AsyncDisposable interface includes the property described in Table 7:

Table 7: AsyncDisposable Interface Required Properties Property Value Requirements

@@asyncDispose	A function that returns a promise.	Invoking this method notifies the AsyncDisposable object that the caller does not intend to continue to use this object. This method should perform any necessary logic to perform explicit clean-up of the resource including, but not limited to, file system handles, streams, host objects, etc. When an exception is thrown from this method, it typically means that the resource could not be explicitly freed. An AsyncDisposable object is not considered "disposed" until the resulting Promise has been fulfilled. If called more than once on the same object, the function should not throw an exception. However, this requirement is not enforced. When using an AsyncDisposable object, it is good practice to create the instance with a await using declaration, as the resource will be automatically disposed when the Block or Module immediately containing the declaration has been evaluated.

12.3 DisposableStack Objects
