Bug 26760 – Function .displayName doesn't resolve properly using getter

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WORKSFORME
• Component: Web Inspector (Deprecated)

All -

I'm trying to return a computed value for '.displayName' for use in the debugger/profiler. Since it was determined that displayName would be modeled as a property instead of a function (i.e. it could've been .displayName()), I tried to define a getter for it on Function.prototype:

Function.prototype.__defineGetter__(
        'displayName',
        function()
        {
            <Code to compute and return String containing displayName>
        });

Unfortunately this completely corrupts the capability such that the debugger or profiler won't actually show any Function's computed name or even a '.displayName' property slot that has been added to a specific Function instance.

Any further assistance I can be to help fix this problem, I'll be happy to help. I'm not a C/C++ coder however (well, its been a *really* long time :-) ).

Cheers,

- Bill
