You need more tests here that check for the type coercion problems with global.isNaN()
For example:
Number.isNaN("1.3") => yes
Number.isNaN("51")
Number.isNaN({valueOf: function () { return 3; })

This is not the right way to define this function. You are currently adding this as a property on Number.prototype. But the Spec (http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:specification_drafts&s=draft) want this to live on Number (the number constructor if you will).

Please have a look at date_static_methods in jsdate.cpp or even object_static_methods in jsobj.cpp, vm/GlobalObject.cpp

After you changed that, please mention the chapter in the spec, something we generally do for new functions. See obj_isPrototypeOf.

I think it's actually helpful to implement this function like the spec, because this way you avoid the |res|. Again obj_isPrototypeOf seems to be an good example.  Oh instead of JSBool, bool :=)

> Number.isNaN("1.3") => yes
Well actually false, but whatever. (Sadly JavaScript wasn't designed so that it would be acceptable to throw for everything that isn't even a number)
Also some tests like Number.isNaN(), Number.isNaN(undefined)

I'm not sure how |res| was supposed to be removed.

Looks good. Some nit and a suggestion how to remove |res|. Really depends on what kind of style you have, but aligns with obj_isPrototypeOf and I find it easier to understand. And I have the feeling we usually prefer early returns.

because we do that in other places:

I was thinking like that.

/* Step 1 */
if (args.length() < 1 || !args[0].isNumber) {
  args.rval.setBoolean(false);
  return true;
}

/* Step 2/3 */
args.rval.setBoolean(MOZ_DOUBLE_IS_NaN(args[0].toNumber()));
return true;

Might as well go further and check for !args[0].isDouble() there, since only a double can be NaN.

Number_isNaN as a new convention for static object methods?  I like this.  We should make this change to the Object.* methods sometime for consistency.
