https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=15986 --- Comment #1 from Boris Zbarsky <bzbarsky@mit.edu> 2012-02-14 17:35:30 UTC --- There are two places that evaluate arguments in WebIDL. One is the argument resolution algorithm at http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#dfn-argument-resolution-algorithm and is defined to go one by one. The other is the overload resolution algorithm, and the order it examines the arguments in depends on the precise overload set right now (because some IDL argument types require that the actual passed-in argument be examined and some do not, as far as I can tell). It doesn't evaluate things per se, but it can return a null overload set after examining only some of the arguments, so can prevent entry into the argument resolution algorithm altogether. So this is all specified already. The question is whether the specification makes sense. For example, does it make sense to run the overload algorithm on overload sets of size 1 to start with? -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
