The `negative` frontmatter tag expresses an expectation for the behavior
of the test file as a whole. The `assert.throws` helper function offers
more fine-grained control over expectations because it may be applied to
specific statements and expressions. This makes it preferable in cases
where it may be used (i.e. when the test body does not describe a syntax
error or early error).
Re-implement assertions for errors to use the `assert.throws` helper
function wherever possible.
These tests are derived from the following files within the Google V8 project:
test/mjsunit/es6/regress/regress-2506.js
test/mjsunit/es6/regress/regress-3426.js
test/mjsunit/es6/regress/regress-3683.js
This change adds 'var' declarations for global variables to allow the tests to run in strict mode (see issue #35).
Extra care was taken to ensure the changes do not alter the test behavior, for example when implicit creation of global variables are part of the test.
Note: The change does not fix all strict mode errors due to missing 'var' declarations.
