[Edbrowse-dev] radiocaroline.. regex in control structures

[Kevin Carhart]

I pursued two more runtimes in radiocaroline:

Similar to requiring Canvas, it wants element types called Audio and 
AudioContext.  They are first referenced in a js file called amplitude, 
which is 
document.scripts[5].  I made stubs for these, just like Canvas, so that it 
would continue running.


What happened next was a strange parse error in lines such as:
         for (var d = document.getElementsByClassName('amplitude-play'), e 
= 0; e < d.length; e++)
             /Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry|IEMobile|Opera 
Mini/i.test(navigator.userAgent) ? (d[e].removeEventListener('touchstart', 
t), d[e].addEventListener('touchstart', t)) : 
(d[e].removeEventListener('click', t), d[e].addEventListener('click', t));


I simplified this expression to find out how simple I could make it and 
still get an error.  A lot of the junk above is not needed.  The 
error is still raised by a simple case.  Consider the difference between 
these two:

if (1==1) /blah/.test("blah")
jdb line 1: SyntaxError: parse error
if (1==1) { /blah/.test("blah") }
true

Apparently duktape does not like for the opening slash of regexp syntax to 
be the first character of a one-liner control-structure body.
Any ideas, short of asking SV?
Or maybe I am misdiagnosing and you notice something I am not?
