Hi,

I am building the JS Engine (and also my application ) with /OPT:NOICF
linker option, however i am still getting the ReferenceError problem.

I am trying to implement a scoping mechanism with lets say 3 levels,
session, document, dialog.

'document' is an object created under 'session' and 'dialog' is an
object created under 'document'

To create a variable 'status' under 'session' this is what i do:

// curScopeObj points to 'session' obj
tmp = JS_NewObject(cx, &some_class, NULL, curScopeObj);
JS_EvaluateScript(cx, curScopeObj, "true", 4, ....,&rval);
JS_DefineProperty(cx, curScopeObj, "status", OBJECT_TO_JSVAL(tmp),
NULL, NULL, JSPROP_ENUMERATE|JSPROP_PERMANENT);

To access 'status' at a later point (when curScopeObj is pointing to
'dialog' :
JS_EvaluateScript(cx, curScopeObj, "status == true ;".... &rval)

at this point i get an error "ReferenceError: status is not defined"

As far as see, i have defined the parent of dialog to document and that
of document to session.. that should establish the scope chain. However
i am unsure if this is the right way (and the only thing required to
set it up )

Any help is sorting this out is really appreciated.
