[JavaScript] function(){}()为什么不合

ES3 P63

ExpressionStatement :
[lookahead ∉ {{, function}] Expression ;

Note that an ExpressionStatement cannot start with an opening curly brace because that might make itambiguous with a Block. Also, an ExpressionStatement cannot start with the function keyword becausethat might make it ambiguous with a FunctionDeclaration.

SouceElement :

ExpressionStatement :

FunctionDeclaration :
    function Identifier ( FormalParameterList[opt] ) { FunctionBody }

这几个产生式表明了以Program为根的语法树结构。

（1）首先，“function(){}()”无法归约为CallExpression。

CallExpression 
<- LeftHandSideExpression 
<- PostfixExpression 
<- UnaryExpression 
<- MultiplicativeExpression 
<- AdditiveExpression 
<- ShiftExpression 
<- RelationalExpression 
<- EqualityExpression 
<- BitwiseANDExpression 
<- BitwiseXORExpression 
<- BitwiseORExpression 
<- LogicalANDExpression 
<- LogicalORExpression 
<- ConditionalExpression 
<- AssignmentExpression 
<- Expression
[失败了] <- ExpressionStatement 
<- Statement 
<- SourceElement 
<- SourceElements 
<- Program

失败的原因是，
<u></u>Expression要想归约为ExpressionStatement，就不能以左大括号“{”或“function”开头。

（2）那么，我们只能认为“function(){}()”是由两部分构成的了。

program
-> SourceElements
-> SourceElements SourceElement
-> SourceElement SourceElement

把“funtion(){}”和“()”都分别向SourceElement归约。
然而，这又不行。

（3）“funtion(){}”无法归约为SourceElement。
因为，无论是先归约为Statement，还先归约为FunctionDeclaration都不行。
归约为Statement要求不能以function开头，（与上面的失败原因相同）
归约为FunctionDeclaration要求必须指定函数名。

（4）然而，我们又没有其他归约方法了，只能失败了。

而加上符号以后，
例如“!function(){}()”，并不是以“function开头”的，
所以通过了Expression到ExpressionStatement的归约。

!function(){}()
<- ! function Identifieropt ( FormalParameterListopt ) { FunctionBody } Arguments
<- ! FunctionExpression Arguments
<- ! MemberExpression Arguments
<- ! CallExpression
<- ! LeftHandSideExpression
<- ! PostfixExpression
<- ! UnaryExpression
<- UnaryExpression
<- MultiplicativeExpression
<- AdditiveExpression
<- ShiftExpression
<- RelationalExpression
<- EqualityExpression
<- BitwiseANDExpression
<- BitwiseXORExpression
<- BitwiseORExpression
<- LogicalANDExpression
<- LogicalORExpression
<- ConditionalExpression
<- AssignmentExpression
<- Expression
<- ExpressionStatement
<- Statement
<- SourceElement
<- SourceElements
<- Program

同理可以推导(function(){}())，(function(){})()

---

值得指出的是，
“function(){}()”就算指定了函数名，也不行。
因为后面的“()”也不能归约为SourceElement。

而“function f(){}(1)”就是合法的，
“function f(){}”归约为FunctionDeclaration，
而“(1)”可以归约为Expression，视为括号运算符，或称为分组运算符。

(Expression) 
<- PrimaryExpression
<- MemberExpression
<- NewExpression
<- LeftHandSideExpression
<- PostfixExpression
<- UnaryExpression
<- MultiplicativeExpression
<- AdditiveExpression
<- ShiftExpression
<- RelationalExpression
<- EqualityExpression
<- BitwiseANDExpression
<- BitwiseXORExpression
<- BitwiseORExpression
<- LogicalANDExpression
<- LogicalORExpression
<- ConditionalExpression
<- AssignmentExpression
<- Expression
