— I want the this var for Kernel.prototype.sysCallProcedures.ANYTHING to be set to the instance of Kernel

Message permanent page

— But because they're in the sysCallProcedures object, this is undefined unless I use apply or call

— 

var test = function () {
this.thing = "Hello world";
};
test.prototype.stuff = {
testFunc: function () {
console.log(this.thing);
}
};
var testInstance = new test();
testInstance.stuff.testFunc();
VM505:6 undefined

— Example code

— 

testInstance.stuff.testFunc.call(testInstance);
VM505:6 Hello world

— This is what I am doing in prod code right now, that I dislike a lot ^

— Meh, maybe I can make a new sysCallProcedures class that accepts a thisArg as an argument to the constructor

— Then at least I don't have to create a ton of new functions, and also I don't have to use apply or call in my logic (just inside the class)

— Correct
