 err, I can't see where you've matched the function keyword or the function operator anywhere in your code. That would seem to be a prerequisite to parsing out functions from ECMAScript source.

  foo (a, b, c) {
    if (c) { a++; } else { b--; }
    print "hi";
  }
  fum (d, e, f, g, h) {
    if (d) { e++; } else { f = g + h; }
    print "ho";
  }

That's not valid EMCAScript.
