Runtime error when mixing into Object with es5 target

[JustASquid]

TypeScript Version: 2.5.2

Code

type Constructor<T = {}> = new (...args: any[]) => T;

function Mixin<T extends Constructor>(Base: T) {
	return class extends Base {
		NonArrowFunction() {
			console.log("Non Arrow Function");
		}
		
		ArrowFunction = () => {
			console.log("Arrow Function");
		}
	}
}

class A extends Mixin(Object) {
	constructor() {
		super()
		// No runtime errors
		this.ArrowFunction();
		
		// Runtime error in es5 export
		this.NonArrowFunction();
	}
}

new A();

Expected behavior:
No runtime error when compiled with --target es5 and run with latest node version.

Actual behavior:

TypeError: _this.NonArrowFunction is not a function
 at new A (C:\Users\Daniel\Desktop\mixines5.js:31:15)
 at Object.<anonymous> (C:\Users\Daniel\Desktop\mixines5.js:36:1)
 at Module._compile (module.js:569:30)
 at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:580:10)
 at Module.load (module.js:503:32)
 at tryModuleLoad (module.js:466:12)

 at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:605:10)
 at startup (bootstrap_node.js:158:16)

The runtime error does not happen when mixing into an empty class as opposed to Object.

Unfortunately this is a duplicate of #10762 and ES5-compliant emit can't properly model subclassing certain built-ins.

Check out the FAQ here: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/FAQ#why-doesnt-extending-built-ins-like-error-array-and-map-work

If it's available to you, you can call Object.setPrototypeOf at the end of your constructor.

Daniel Rosenwasser (@DanielRosenwasser) Thank you! What would you say would be the best way to describe mixing into an 'empty class' like this? Using

class Empty {}
class A extends Mixin(A) {}

is a bit verbose.

Daniel West (@JustASquid) what about

class A extends Mixin(class {}) {}

or you can adjust your mixin function, making the argument optional.
