    JS_NewFunction

    This article needs a technical review. How you can help.

    Create a new JavaScript function that is implemented in C/C++ as a JSNative.

    Syntax

    // Added in SpiderMonkey 45

JSFunction *
JS_NewFunction(JSContext *cx, JSNative call, unsigned nargs, unsigned flags,
               const char *name);

// Obsolete since JSAPI 44

JSFunction *
JS_NewFunctionById(JSContext *cx, JSNative call, unsigned nargs, unsigned flags,
                   JS::Handle<jsid> id);

// Obsolete since JSAPI 39

JSFunction *
JS_NewFunction(JSContext *cx, JSNative call, unsigned nargs, unsigned flags,
               JS::Handle<JSObject*> parent, const char *name);

JSFunction *
JS_NewFunctionById(JSContext *cx, JSNative call, unsigned nargs, unsigned flags,
                   JS::Handle<JSObject*> parent, JS::Handle<jsid> id); // Added in SpiderMonkey 17
    Name Type Description
    cx JSContext * The context in which to create the new function. Requires request. In a JS_THREADSAFE build, the caller must be in a request on this JSContext.
    call JSNative Native C/C++ implementation of this function.
    nargs unsigned Number of arguments the function expects.
    flags unsigned Pass JSFUN_CONSTRUCTOR to make a native that can be called as a constructor, otherwise 0.
    parent JS::Handle<JSObject*> Pointer to the parent object for this function. If this is NULL, a default parent object is used. Obsolete since JSAPI 39
    name const char * Name to assign to the new function. If this is NULL, the new function has no name.
    id JS::Handle<jsid> A pointer to jsid of the name to assign to the new function. Added in SpiderMonkey 17

    Description

    JS_NewFunction creates a new JavaScript function implemented in C/C++. (To create a new function implemented in JavaScript, use JS_CompileFunction instead.)

    call is a C/C++ function pointer that the new function wraps. nargs is the number of arguments the function expects. If flags is JSFUN_CONSTRUCTOR, a created function can be called as a constructor. parent may be used to specify the new function's parent; NULL is usually the right thing here. name is the name to assign to the function. If name is NULL, the new function has no name. (JS_GetFunctionId, passed the new function, will return NULL.)

    On success, JS_NewFunction returns a pointer to the newly created function. Otherwise it reports an out-of-memory error and returns NULL.
