Altough your comments are true, I don't think
these issues are responsible for the effect. (In
fact this part is only for testing, so be assured
that I will not rely on gets).

I have tried the following code:
---------------------------------
std::string cmd = "function f(a)\n{\nreturn a+5;\n}\nf(6)\n";
JSScript *script;
script = JS_CompileScript(cx, glob, cmd.c_str(),
strlen(cmd.c_str()),NULL,1);
if (script)
{
ok = JS_ExecuteScript(cx, glob, script, &rval);
}
// alternatively: ok = JS_EvaluateScript(cx, glob, cmd.c_str(),
strlen(cmd.c_str()), "stdin", 1, &rval);
if (ok)
{
str = JS_ValueToString(cx, rval);
printf("script result: %s\n", JS_GetStringBytes(str));
}
------------------------------------

Where the input script is clearly correct. This still gives me
"Reference error: a is undefined".
