vm: Function declarations should use [[Define]] instead of [[Set]] on the global object

  • Version: v13.8.0
  • Platform: All; tested on Travis CI (Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS)
  • Subsystem: vm

What steps will reproduce the bug?

const vm = require("vm");

let impl = { status: "" };
let ctx = vm.createContext();
Object.defineProperty(ctx, "status", {
	configurable: true,
	enumerable: true,
	get() {
		return impl.status;
	},
	set(v) {
		impl.status = `${v}`;
	}
});

// https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/blob/master/xhr/status-async.htm
vm.runInContext(`
function statusRequest(...args) {
	console.log(args.map(JSON.stringify).join("\t"));
}
function status(code, text, content, type) {
	statusRequest("GET", code, text, content, type);
	statusRequest("HEAD", code, text, content, type);
	statusRequest("CHICKEN", code, text, content, type);
}
status(204, "UNICORNSWIN", "", "")
status(401, "OH HELLO", "Not today.", "")
status(402, "FIVE BUCKS", "<x>402<\/x>", "text/xml")
status(402, "FREE", "Nice!", "text/doesnotmatter")
status(402, "402 TEH AWESOME", "", "")
status(502, "YO", "", "")
status(502, "lowercase", "SWEET POTATO", "text/plain")
status(503, "HOUSTON WE HAVE A", "503", "text/plain")
status(699, "WAY OUTTA RANGE", "699", "text/plain")
`, ctx);

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Always.

What is the expected behavior?

The functions get defined using [[DefineOwnProperty]] as specified in ECMA‑262 § 8.1.1.4.18 CreateGlobalFunctionBinding.
