Member Function Documentation

void burst.runtime.SpiderMonkeyRuntime.readEvalSync (  String  fpath  )  [static, virtual]

Read a local file synchronously and evaluate its contents. This function relies on a global load() function, such as is available in SpiderMonkey and Rhino. The shell load() evaluates and puts symbols into the global namespace. This function has no useful return value; any result from the evaluation must be done by a callback within the loaded file contents. Todo: How does load() handle runtime syntax errors? How does load() handle a non-existent or unreadable file? Parameters: fpath  The absolute or relative path to pass in to load() Exceptions: BurstError  if load() returns false Implements burst.runtime.AbstractRuntime.

String burst.runtime.SpiderMonkeyRuntime.readFile_xpcshell (  String  fname  )  [static]

Read a local file synchronously and return its contents. This function only works in XPCShell. Our implementation basically came Kevin Burton's weblog: http://www.peerfear.org/rss/permalink/2003/01/21/1043160037-File_IO_in_MozillaJavaScript.shtml
