Static resolution of outer variables in eval code.
So far free variables references in eval code are not statically resolved. For example in function foo() { var x = 1; eval("y = x"); } the variable x will get mode DYNAMIC and y will get mode DYNAMIC_GLOBAL, i.e. free variable references trigger dynamic lookups with a fast case handling for global variables. The CL introduces static resolution of free variables references in eval code. If possible variable references are resolved to bindings belonging to outer scopes of the eval call site. This is achieved by deserializing the outer scope chain using Scope::DeserializeScopeChain prior to parsing the eval code similar to lazy parsing of functions. The existing code for variable resolution is used, however resolution starts at the first outer unresolved scope instead of always starting at the root of the scope tree. This is a prerequisite for statically checking validity of assignments in the extended code as specified by the current ES.next draft which will be introduced by a subsequent CL. More specifically section 11.13 of revision 4 of the ES.next draft reads: * It is a Syntax Error if the AssignmentExpression is contained in extended code and the LeftHandSideExpression is an Identifier that does not statically resolve to a declarative environment record binding or if the resolved binding is an immutable binding.
