JS_GetFunctionFlags(JSFunction *fun);
Name Type Description
fun JSFunction * The function to examine.

Description

JS_GetFunctionFlags retrieves the function flags of a given JavaScript function, fun. These flags are for the JavaScript engine’s internal use. Most applications can’t do anything useful with them.

Function flags are a value of type unsigned int, the bitwise OR of zero or more of the JSFUN flags described below. Once a function is created, its flags cannot be modified.

JSFUN_GENERIC_NATIVE

The function is an Array generic, such as Array.map.

JSFUN_HEAVYWEIGHT

The function uses language features such as closures, with, or eval that require extra work on the part of the interpreter.

JSFUN_LAMBDA

The function is a JavaScript function written as a FunctionExpression rather than a FunctionDeclaration, a syntactic distinction. See ECMA 262-3 §13.

JSFUN_CONSTRUCTOR

The function is native can be used as a constructor with the new keyword. (The meaning of this flag may change.)
