[javascript] How to get JavaScript caller function line number? How to get JavaScript caller source URL?

If you would like to know the line number for debugging purposes, or only during development (For a reason or another), you could use Firebug (a Firefox extension) and throw an exception.

Edit:

If you really need to do that in production for some reason, you can pre-process your javascript files in order for each function to keep track of the line it is on. I know some frameworks that find the coverage of code use this (such as JSCoverage).

For example, let's say your original call is:

function x() {
  1 + 1;
  2 + 2;
  y();
}

You could write a preprocessor to make it into:

function x() {
  var me = arguments.callee;
  me.line = 1;
  1 + 1;
  me.line = 2;
  2 + 2;
  me.line = 3;
  y();
}

Then in y(), you could use arguments.callee.caller.line to know the line from which it was called, such as:

function y() {
  alert(arguments.callee.caller.line);
}
