What's the returned value of javascript constructor function

Example:

function Foo(){
  return something;
}
var a = new Foo();

The exact condition is described on the [[Construct]] internal property, which is used by the newoperator:

From the ECMA-262 3rd. Ediion Specification:

13.2.2 [[Construct]]

When the [[Construct]] property for a Function object F is called, the following steps are taken:

1. Create a new native ECMAScript object.
2. Set the [[Class]] property of Result(1) to "Object".
3. Get the value of the prototype property of F.
4. If Result(3) is an object, set the [[Prototype]] property of Result(1) to Result(3).
5. If Result(3) is not an object, set the [[Prototype]] property of Result(1) to the original Object prototype object as described in 15.2.3.1.
6. Invoke the [[Call]] property of F, providing Result(1) as the this value and providing the argument list passed into [[Construct]] as the argument values.
7. If Type(Result(6)) is Object then return Result(6).
8. Return Result(1).

Look at the steps 7 and 8, the new object will returned only if the type of Result(6) (the value returned from the F constructor function) is not an Object.

Steps 7 “Type(x) is Object” means “x instance of Object is true”, not “typeof(x) === ‘object’ is true”
