Experimental
Functionality similar to Python's traceback module.
Usage
Tracebacks are stored in JSON format. The stack is represented as an array in which the most recent stack frame is the last element; each element thus represents a stack frame and has the following keys:
filename |
The name of the file that the stack frame takes place in. |
lineNo |
The line number is being executed at the stack frame. |
funcName |
The name of the function being executed at the stack frame, or null if the function is anonymous or the stack frame is being executed in a top-level script or module. |
See nsIException for more information.
