OSSP js - Mozilla JavaScript Engine
|
|
Version 1.6.20060820 (20-Aug-2006)
|
|
|
|
ABSTRACT
|
|
|
|
OSSP js is a stand-alone distribution of the JavaScript (JS)
|
|
programming language reference implementation from Mozilla -- aka
|
|
"JSRef" or "SpiderMonkey". This distribution provides a smart,
|
|
stand-alone and portable distribution of Mozilla JavaScript through a
|
|
build environment based on GNU autoconf, GNU libtool and GNU shtool,
|
|
including support for easy JavaScript build-time feature set selection
|
|
(ECMA-3, JS-1.5, JS-1.6), optional CLI line editing support, optional
|
|
"stdio" based File object support and JS/Perl bindings. Additionally,
|
|
the C API in "libjs" contains both the JavaScript engine and the
|
|
required Sun math library ("fdlibm") and with all internal symbols
|
|
carefully protected under the "js" namespace. Finally, a js-config(1)
|
|
utility and a pkg-config(1) specification is provided to allow
|
|
applications to easily build with the JavaScript C API.
|
|
|
|
JUSTIFICATION
|
|
|
|
OSSP js was created because for OSSP and similar pedantic C coding
|
|
projects a smart, stand-alone, portable, clean, powerful and
|
|
robust scripting language engine is required. JavaScript is a
|
|
great programming language and Mozilla JavaScript "SpiderMonkey"
|
|
definitely is an acceptable clean, powerful and robust implementation.
|
|
Unfortunately there is just a stand-alone distribution released from
|
|
time to time by Mozilla and it is far away from really being smart,
|
|
stand-alone and portable. At least for OSSP it was not acceptable
|
|
having to tell the community that for small and stand-alone C
|
|
components like the OSSP components they either have to install the
|
|
great but large Mozilla Firefox application (where Mozilla JavaScript
|
|
is included) or have to fiddle around theirself with an older
|
|
stand-alone JavaScript distribution and its weak build environment.
|
|
OSSP js combines the best from two worlds: the 1:1 repackaged
|
|
JavaScript code base from Mozilla and the usual amount of GNU
|
|
autoconf, GNU libtool and GNU shtool wrappers as always used by OSSP.
|
|
Additionally, stand-alone ("stdio" instead of NSPR based) File object
|
|
support was required.
|
|
|
|
VERSIONING
|
|
|
|
The version of OSSP js is M.N.YYYYMMDD where M.N is the JavaScript
|
|

|
|
extracted from the Mozilla CVS repository.
