           Summary: function declaration inside a statement behaves
                    differently from Firefox, but the same as IE
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: ian.eng.webkit at gmail.com


In the layout test, fast/js/function-declarations-in-switch-statement.html.
Function declarations in a switch statement. SpiderMonkey assigns function body
to function name dynamically (only initializes the function name when the
statement is executed). KJS and IE initialize the function name with the last
declaration no matter the statement is executed or not.

Function declaration in a statement is not part of ECMA-262. The real question
is which behavior should KJS have, IE or Firefox?
