What happened to console.log in IE8?

Question

According to this post it was in the beta, but it\'s not in the release?

Answer 1

I found this on github:

// usage: log('inside coolFunc', this, arguments);
// paulirish.com/2009/log-a-lightweight-wrapper-for-consolelog/
window.log = function f() {
    log.history = log.history || [];
    log.history.push(arguments);
    if (this.console) {
        var args = arguments,
            newarr;
        args.callee = args.callee.caller;
        newarr = [].slice.call(args);
        if (typeof console.log === 'object') log.apply.call(console.log, console, newarr);
        else console.log.apply(console, newarr);
    }
};

// make it safe to use console.log always
(function(a) {
    function b() {}
    for (var c = "assert,count,debug,dir,dirxml,error,exception,group,groupCollapsed,groupEnd,info,log,markTimeline,profile,profileEnd,time,timeEnd,trace,warn".split(","), d; !! (d = c.pop());) {
        a[d] = a[d] || b;
    }
})(function() {
    try {
        console.log();
        return window.console;
    } catch(a) {
        return (window.console = {});
    }
} ());
