Attribute: alias

Attribute name: Alias

• Name: alias
• Since: draft
• Usage: on 'Method'
• Allowed value: string with the operation name (e.g. 'log')
• Rationale: Some functions are present to the userprogram under more than one name, to avoid double work, confusing documentation, and strive for a smaller code base an alias can be used.
• Reference: 'console.error', 'console.info', 'console.warn'

Example

IDL

[] interface Console {
	            static void log( optional DOMString text );
	[Alias=log] static void warn (optional DOMString text );
};

C++

JSFunctionSpec *JSConsole::ListMethods()
{
    static JSFunctionSpec funcs[] = {
        CLASSMAPPER_FN(JSConsole, log, 0),
        CLASSMAPPER_FN_ALIAS(JSConsole, warn, 0, log),
        JS_FS_END
    };

    return funcs;
}

javascript
