Javascript原型链和原型的一个误区

作者: Laruence 之前我对Javascript的原型链中, 原型继承与标识符查找有些迷惑, 如, 如下的代码:

1. function Foo() {};
2. var foo = new Foo();
3. Foo.prototype.label = “laruence”;
4. alert(foo.label); //output: laruence
5. alert(Foo.label);//output: undefined 今天看到了如下这个图: 另外, 在Javascript Object Hierarchy看到:

The prototype is only used for properties inherited by objects/instances created by that function. The function itself does not use the associated prototype.

也就是说, 函数对象的prototype并不作用于原型链查找过程中, 今天在firefox下发现(因为firefox通过__proto__暴露了[[prototype]]), 真正参与标识符查找的是函数对象的__proto__,

1. function Foo() {};
2. var foo = new Foo();
3. Foo.__proto__.label = “laruence”;
4. alert(Foo.label); //output: laruence
5. alert(foo.label);//output: undefined

而, 显然的:

1. function Foo() {};
2. alert(Foo.__proto__ === Foo.prototype); //output: false

另外, 也解释了,

1. alert(Object.forEach); // undefined

2. Function.prototype.forEach = function(object, block, context) {

3. for (var key in object) {

4. if (typeof this.prototype[key] == “undefined”) {

5. block.call(context, object[key], key, object);

6. }

7. }

8. };

9. alert(Object.forEach);

10. alert(Function.forEach);

11. alert(Object.forEach === Function.forEach); // true
