repl parsing error.

[llafuente]

Hi,

var -name (enter) should give an error... as Node does.

luis@luis-dev:~/node -v
v0.10.26

luis@luis-dev:~/noboxout/language$ node
> var -name;
... 
> 
(^C again to quit)
> 
luis@luis-dev:~/noboxout/language$ node -e "var -name"

This problem still exists in 0.10.33, but has been fixed in 0.11.14.

This appears to be a duplicate of #8874

[llafuente]

I dont think so...

@cjihrig said it was fixed in 0.11.14 (Thu, 25 Sep)
#8874 start 5 days ago...

but doesn't really matter, something need to be backported (maybe) but i can't find it...

[llafuente]

This is still a bug, maybe can be closed as wontfix...

I can confirm master is still affected, but given how the REPL works, I'm not sure if it's something that can be properly fixed.

I'll close the issue. If you still wish to pursue it, please file a new one here: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues
