Scope of this is lost when passing a member function to setInterval

TypeScript Version: 1.8.10

When passing a member function to setInterval, the scope of 'this' is lost within the callback, though the structure of the code (given experience of any object orientated language) indicates it shouldn't be.

Example code

export class SetIntervalTest {
  private someNumber: number = 1;

  trigger() {
      setInterval(this.setIntervalCallback, 400);
  }

  private setIntervalCallback() {
      console.log(this.someNumber);
  }
}  

Expected behavior
When console.log(this.someNumber); is called, the scope of this is within the scope of the SetIntervalTest interval instance, printing '1'.

Actual behavior:
The scope of this is pulled from global scope, resulting in this.someNumber being 'undefined'. If that isn't possible, the compiler should indicate the expected behaviour is not what you're going to get.

To fix this i need to change 'setInterval(this.setIntervalCallback, 400);' to 'setInterval(() => this.setIntervalCallback(), 400);' so 'this' is correctly scoped in the callback.

Commencez par reproduire l’exemple avec TypeScript 1.8.10 et inspectez le JavaScript généré afin de distinguer le comportement du compilateur de la sémantique des callbacks JavaScript. L’issue ne nomme aucun fichier source ni aucun test ; pour progresser, il faut déterminer si le résultat attendu est un diagnostic du compilateur ou une modification du langage, puis ajouter une couverture pour le comportement convenu.
