In relation to this bug: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21262
I've been trying to make Objective-J filenames show up in the Web Inspector's debugger name. A proposed solution is to allow the .name property on anonymous functions to be changed, which would allow code using new Function() to give names to the anonymous functions this creates.
Line 43 of InternalFunction.cpp would be have the ReadOnly property removed.
putDirect(globalData->propertyNames->name, jsString(globalData, name.ustring()), DontDelete | DontEnum);
I'm posting this here to ask if anyone has reason to believe this would cause incompatibility problems with anything. The ECMA spec doesn't mention anything one way or the other on the matter. I'd appreciate any feedback.
On its own this doesn't solve the actual problem, but its a step in the right direction. A separate discussion of appropriate guesses for a name, other than "(program)", what's currently displayed now, is probably also in order.
I've implemented a solution that looks for the first named function in the source code, and if it can't find one, uses the first non empty line of code. Any better proposals?
