Cannot declare function named "static"

[frieck]

In my tests to check if GraalVM is compatible with my NodeJS apps, I was getting an error when a method is called static (not a static method!):

<function>:2
    static(as) {
          ^

SyntaxError: Expected ident but found (

I've created a repository to simulate it: graalvm-test
The same test runs flawlessly when using standard NodeJS.

Can you guys help me with this issue?
Thanks in advance!

Hi @frieck

Thanks for the report. I assume we have already fixed that in 049a211 - this will land in our 20.0.0 release early next year.

Best,
Christian
