A failure $.evalFile raised for a file it could not run was placed by
matching the uncaught error's message against the last such failure. A
script that caught the failure and threw it again later, or threw a new
error whose message held its text, was reported at the failed file's line
instead of the second throw.
The failure now carries a mark (HostError::Marked) with the exception.
A catch clause drops the mark, a throw raises the value without one, and
a finally block that ends normally throws it on with its mark, nested
finally blocks included. Realm::error_mark gives the mark of the error a
run ended with, and the engine looks up the file, line and column by it.
`#strict on` and `//@strict on` no longer end the run as unsupported. They
turn on the checks the dollar-object help page gives for `$.strict`
(https://extendscript.docsforadobe.dev/extendscript-tools-features/dollar-object/):
an assignment to a read-only property throws a TypeError, and so does a new
property on an object that takes none.
VectorCraft's own rules: a getter-only property counts as read-only; the
objects that take no new properties are the non-extensible ones
(preventExtensions, seal, freeze, and the frozen vc and $ objects); the last
`#strict` line of the script and its includes sets the whole run, and runs
without one are unchanged; eval and Function take the checks of the code
that compiles them; a file $.evalFile runs keeps its own line's checks for
its code and functions, or takes the caller's without one. The rest of ES5
strict mode stays with 'use strict'.
The js crate carries the setting per compiled source
(Realm::set_strict_writes, and a strict_writes callback on
HostItem::Evaluator), and applies it only to property assignments.
Before a script runs, `script.run` reads its preprocessor lines (`#` or
`//@` at the start of a line, outside strings and comments):
- `#include` and `//@include` put another file's text in place of the
line, looked for beside the including file, then in each
`#includepath` folder, then in each `JSINCLUDE` folder. A later
`#includepath` replaces the list.
- `#script` names the run unless `name` is given; `#target` takes any
value; `#strict off` is taken. `#strict on`, `#targetengine` and
`#engine` are refused as unsupported, and any other `#name` as
unknown.
`$.evalFile(path, timeout?)` runs a file in the same global environment
and returns its last value, `$.fileName` is the file being run and
`$.includePath` the include folders.
A script run from a file reads these files only in its folder and the
folders below it. Paths with a `..` name, links or junctions that lead
out, device names, streams and network paths are refused; a script
given as text reads none. A run reads at most 64 files 16 levels deep,
32 MiB of source in all and 1,024 paths looked up. An error in an
included or evaluated file is reported at that file's line and column,
and the report's new `file` field names it.
