- **status**: accepted --> closed
- **Comment**:

Many, many thanks for all the details. Have aplied your suggested fix and it seem to work fine.
Waiting for more reports (and will try to work on your remaining stuff soon).

Again thanks

Attached are five tests for testing various aspects of **[named function expressions](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15336347)** in htmlunit.

As at 2.32, support for them are *quirky*, leading to subtly misinterpreted JS that are hard to debug.

For example, the following code from `test1.html` incorrectly throws a `ScriptException: ReferenceError: Assignment to undefined "abc" in strict mode` on the second line.

```javascript
'use strict';
var abc = 1;
var foo = function abc() {}
```

This code from `test2.html` should print `a` followed by `b`.  Instead `b` is printed twice.  (Unfortunatley, code like this is all too common for minimized scripts.)

```javascript
var a = function () {
	var x = (function x () { console.log("a") })
	return function () { x() }
}()

var b = function () {
	var x = (function x () { console.log("b") })
	return function () { x() }
}()

a()
b()
```

### Test cases

Five tests `test1.html` to `test5.html` are attached.  Expectations are as follows:

`test1.html`:
```java
final String[] expected = {
		"INFO: outer abc =  1.0",
		"INFO: inner abc =  (function abc() { console.log(\"inner abc = \", abc); })",
};
```

`test2.html`:
```java
final String[] expected = {
		"INFO: a",
		"INFO: b",
};
```

`test3.html`:
```java
final String[] expected = {
		"INFO: a",
};
```

`test4.html`:
```java
final String[] expected = {
		"INFO: (function func() { console.log(func); })",
		"INFO: outer",
};
```

`test5.html`:
```java
final String[] expected = {
		"INFO: f1",
		"INFO: f2",
		"INFO: f3",
		"INFO: !f4",
		"INFO: f5",
		"INFO: !f6",
		"INFO: !f7",
		"INFO: !f8",
		"INFO: f10",
		"INFO: f11",
		"INFO: f12",
		"INFO: f10", // Chrome/FF: !f10
		"INFO: f11",
		"INFO: f12",
		"INFO: f13",
};
```

### Possible fix

While rhino far surpasses  my coding ability, asashour [seems to have](https://github.com/HtmlUnit/htmlunit-rhino-fork/commit/afadfd48770eace84c70f503efef66c5767c9a3b) already added the [necessary building block](https://github.com/HtmlUnit/htmlunit-rhino-fork/blob/e7ce0f761305d876f99a323a27214f064c5fb4f3/src/org/mozilla/javascript/InterpreterData.java#L98) for this.

The following is the code I'm using to further this for a fix:
