javascript generator value of this -
what value of this in javascript generators in javascript? in below code, both comparisons return false, , when .tosource() , this appears empty object . references ecma or mdn docs helpful, wasn't able find in either. function thisgenerator(){ while(1) yield this; } var gen=new thisgenerator(); alert(gen.next()==thisgenerator); alert(gen.next()==gen); this still obeys normal rules. considering, global scope window : var gen = (function() { yield this; })(); gen.next() === window // true var gen = (function() { "use strict"; yield this; })(); gen.next() === undefined // true in quirks mode, this in unbound functions global scope (which happens window ), while in strict mode undefined . ps: when calling function bound, still usual: var o = { foo: function() { yield this; } }; o.foo().next() === o // true var o = {}; function foo() { yield this; }; foo.call(o).next() === o // true
