// how to pass arbitrary "this" object for eval'ed script?
var obj = { foo: 44 };
// the following won't work. eval.apply is indirect eval call
// and so 'this' will be global object always! So, this
// line will print 'undefined'
eval.apply(obj, [ " print(this.foo)" ]);
obj.myEval = eval;
// still won't work - still indirect 'eval' call!
// still undefined is printed!
obj.myEval("print(this.foo)");
function func(code) {
eval(code);
}
// eval called inside func and so get's func's "this" as it's "this"!
// So, 44 is printed
func.apply(obj, [ "print(this.foo)" ]);
