[edbrowse-dev] 'this' in a breakpoint

[Kevin Carhart <kevin@carhart.net>]

I think 'this' is always returning window within a breakpoint.  So if you 
have to echo let's say, a, where a = (this, b), I think you would get a 
result that didn't reflect the real run.

To recreate, try it with jsrt

I went to the Circle function and added an alert that produces the 
following:

when jsrt is run with no breakpoints, what is 'this' in function Circle? 
[object Object]

And I assigned window.preserve_this = this
Then I echoed preserve_this from jdb:
jdb
preserve_this
[object Object]
ok(preserve_this)
r,c,a,q


Now I restored Circle, so jsrt is back to factory settings.
Now I put a breakpoint in Circle and echoed 'this' at the breakpoint 
prompt.

b base
24269
bp: this
[object global]

Do you think my experiment is sound and can this be alleviated?

thanks
Kevin
