`eval?.()` is now an indirect eval

Bug Report

There has apparently been a recent change to the behavior of eval?.() in all major JavaScript engines. It is now considered an indirect eval instead of a direct eval. This behavior was changed in July 2020. TypeScript is still compiling it as a direct eval and I didn't see an issue about this, so I created this issue.

💻 Code

globalThis.a = "global";
(a => eval?.("console.log(a)"))("local");

🙁 Actual behavior

When compiled with TypeScript, this prints local instead. That matches the behavior of older JavaScript runtimes such as node v14 but doesn't match the latest JavaScript runtimes.

🙂 Expected behavior

This code now prints global when run in an up-to-date browser or in node v15, so it should print global when compiled with TypeScript as well.

Commencez par compiler et exécuter l’exemple Playground fourni dans un runtime JavaScript récent, puis comparez le JavaScript généré avec le résultat global-versus-local signalé. Le payload ne nomme aucun fichier source ni test ; localisez donc le chemin du compilateur qui gère les expressions d’appel optionnel et ajoutez une couverture montrant le comportement attendu de l’évaluation indirecte.
