Fix function hoisting behaviour (non-strict mode) #1547
Conversation
Hermes currently has divergent function hoisting behavior compared to QuickJS, V8, and JSC in non-strict mode. The following code prints Error1; Error1 instead of Error; Error1
```
{
function test1(a) {
if(a == "a") {
test1("b");
return;
}
print ('Error');
}
callback1 = test1;
}
{
function test1(a) {
if(a == "a") {
test1("b");
return;
}
print ('Error1');
}
callback2 = test1;
}
callback1("a");
callback2("a");
```
This happens as scoped function promoted to global scope are treated as global function, like for `var`.
New approach:
- Creating two declaration associated with each promoted function identifier and storing the function code into two pointers, one global and one scoped. Each declaration has one pointer associated.
- Each identifier which is not a declaration is resolved into either the global or scoped declaration of the promoted function
Test 262 results:
- 100% on test/statements, 98.53% overall. **Nothing changed in the results** before and after the change.

Seems like the failing errors are due to auto generated checks |
