function calls: direct vs apply vs call vs bind (v87)

Revision 87 of this benchmark created by Arne Babenhauserheide on

Setup

function f() {
    return this;
  }
  var that = {
    f: f
  };
  var bound = f.bind(that);
  var that2 = Object.create(that);
  var that3 = {};
  var that4 = Object.create(that3);
  
  function A() {
    this.bar = "bar";
  }
  A.prototype.foo = function() {
    return this.bar;
  }
  
  function B() {}
  B.prototype = Object.create(A.prototype);
  B.prototype.constructor = B;
  var b = new B();
  var bound = A.prototype.foo.bind(b);
