Scope Chains and Identifier Resolution

function add(num1, num2){
    var sum = num1 + num2;
    return sum;
}

Scope Chain Augmentation

with表达式会临时改变execution context中的Scope chain,一个新的包含指定对像所有属性的可变对象被插入到execution context的scopechain的最前端。这样local variable的访问就会变慢，所以不要使用with。

try {
    methodThatMightCauseAnError();
} catch (ex){
    alert(ex.message); //scope chain is augmented here
}

Dynamic Scopes

Both the with statement and the catch clause of a try-catch statement, as well as a function containing eval(), are all considered to be dynamic scopes.

 

Closures, Scope, and Memory

function assignEvents(){
    var id = "xdi9592";
    document.getElementById("save-btn").onclick = function(event){
    saveDocument(id);
    };
}

通常Activationobject会同execution context一起销毁，但是使用了closure后，Activation object仍然被closure引用，所以还不能销毁。 因此使用闭包的函数比未使用闭包的函数需要更多的内存

访问id和saveDocument会有性能下降

 

Object Members

function Book(title, publisher){
    this.title = title;
    this.publisher = publisher;
}
Book.prototype.sayTitle = function(){
alert(this.title);
};
