[webkit-dev] JavaScriptCore: Lookup object by string?

[Daniel Waylonis]

Hi,

I'm using JavaScriptCore Framework in a Cocoa program.  I'm trying to  
evaluate a function in the JavaScript code via C, but I'm having  
problems with figuring out how to get a proper reference to that  
function.  I'm trying to have behavior analogous to the setTimeout()  
function, which takes a string which will be evaluated after the time  
has lapsed.

JavaScript:
function AddOne(num) {
   return num + 1;
}

var thirtyThree = myClass.callFunction("AddOne()", 32);


In myClass's callFunction(), I need to convert this passed in string  
value to a function which will return "true" to JSObjectIsFunction()  
so that I can then use the JSObjectCallAsFunction() function.

I've tried making a JSValue out of the string passed in and then:
JSObjectRef fnObj = JSValueToObject(globalcontext, fnValue);

but that doesn't come back as a valid function object.

I looked inside of the JavaScriptCore Framework source,  
WebScriptObject.mm, callWebScriptMethod:withArguments: and it looks  
like it's looking up the string from a hash table associated with the  
ExecState, which I don't have access to inside of the public API for  
the JavaScriptCore Framework.

Any suggestions on how I can accomplish this lookup?

Thanks,
Dan
