javascript - arguments.callee.toString() and arguments.callee.name does not return function name

Question

I\'m trying to get the name of the currently running function. From what I\'ve read, this should be possible using:

(arguments.callee.toString()).match(/func         


        

Answer 1

The typical arguments.callee hacks don't work here because what you've done is assigned an anonymous function as the value for the object's 'testfunc' key. In this case the hacking even gets worse, but it can be done, as follows:

var testobj = {
    testfunc: function(){
      for (var attr in testobj) {
              if (testobj[attr] == arguments.callee.toString()) {
                  alert(attr);
                  break;
                }
            }
    }
}
testobj.testfunc();
