#734 — 15.13.7.4: "the result of calling the SetValueInBuffer internal operation"


In 15.13.7.4 "Properties of the DataView Prototype Object",
in the definition of SetValue(),
steps 5 and 6 say:
5. Let value be the result of calling the SetValueInBuffer internal operation
(2.5.2) with arguments ...
6. Return value

But SetValueInBuffer doesn't return a value, so change
"Let value be the result of calling"
to just "Call", and delete step 6.


(Also, delete the "(2.5.2)" or change it to "(15.13.6.5.2)".)


From the DataView.prototype.set* methods, it looks like the intent is that SetValue() *does* return a value. In which case, you can drop my suggestion to delete step 6, but everything else still stands.


SetValueInBuffer now returns a completion value.
