What does | in this code mean?





function foo() {}

var bar = foo <| function() {};







This is the first time I've seen something like this. What does <| mean?

  1. Now that you have posted the link to the source, you can see in the comments at the top of the file exactly what it does (line 36):


    the <| operator -- defines the [[Prototype]] of a literal...

    For these examples <| used with a function expression sets the
    [[Prototype]] of the object created as the value of the function's
    "prototype" property to the value of the "prototype" property of the
    the LHS object. This is in addition to setting the [[Prototype]] of
    the function object itself. In other words, it builds sets the
    [[Prototype]] of both the function and of function.prototype to
    potentially different values.

  2. That throws a syntax error for me ("unexpected token" on the "|")

    For A complete list of javascript operators go here

  3. It means syntax error - invalid JavaScript construct.

  4. There's no "<|". I think it's a mistake and there should be "||".

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?

Java Urban Myths

Along the line of C++ Urban Myths and Perl Myths : What are the Java Urban Myths? That is, the ideas and conceptions about Java that are common but have no actual roots in reality . As a Java programmer, what ideas held by your fellow Java programmers have you had to disprove so often that you've come to believe they all learned at the feet of the same drunk old story-teller? Ideally, you would express these myths in a single sentence, and include an explanation of why they are false.
