Description c089 2011-04-21 17:40:45 UTC 
Embedding the string "use strict"; in a javascript file is considered good practice (cf. Crockford 2008). While the string statement itself has no effect, browsers will use strict mode when they see it. Because of this, the "code has no side effects" warning should not be shown in this case.

If bugzilla lets me, I'm changing this from "enhancement" to "defect" since it's actually not true that 'use strict'; has no side effects -- it does have side effects.  Also, this applies to all platforms, not just PC/Linux.

Are there any workarounds for this?   I'm a bit new to netbeans.
Comment 3 Petr Pisl 2012-12-18 14:51:03 UTC 
The warning is not shown anymore.
