ECMAScript 2015 introduced tail call optimization for function calls
occuring in a number of positions in the grammar. Assert expected
behavior by triggering a large (but configurable) number of recursive
function calls in these positions. Compliant runtimes will execute such
programs without error; non-compliant runtimes are expected to fail
these tests by throwing an error or crashing when system resources are
exhausted.
The `$PRINT` helper function has no effect on test behavior. The
following tests use it to report assertion outcomes (and as a result
will fail silently):
- test/language/function-code/S10.2.1_A4_T2.js
- test/language/function-code/S10.2.1_A5.1_T1.js
- test/language/function-code/S10.2.1_A5.1_T2.js
- test/language/function-code/S10.2.1_A5.2_T1.js
Remove the function definition and all references within tests. Update
tests that use it as an error reporting mechanism to instead use an
appropriate `assert` helper function.
In neglecting to assert the type of error thrown (or that any error was
thrown at all), these tests cannot fail. Refactor the tests to use the
`assert.throws` helper method, which takes these details into
consideration.
