It's presumably a whole heck of a lot more complex than brack matching:
alert('fail');
function test () {
// ...megabytes of perfectly fine code...
a b;
}
...had better not alert anything.
What we really need though is perf data, e.g. comparing how browsers
handle code such as:
<script>
var times = [];
times.push(new Date());
</script>
<script>
times.push(new Date());
function test() {
// ...megabytes of complicated code...
};
times.push(new Date());
test();
times.push(new Date());
</script>
What are the deltas between all the times in various browsers?
I would expect the deltas to be a high number, 0, and a high number
respectively. However, if it is different then the assumptions that
underlie the spec are wrong, and there's probably something we can work on
to make the Web better.
