[webkit-dev] JSObjectCallAsFunctionCallback question

[Xiong]

Thanks Su.

I think i know you mean.

To get the method name ["getValue"] via attach a private data to function
object which create by JSObjectMake().

Yes, it's a better way, but not for me.

In my program, we have many Object and it's method and now all in staticFunc
structure.

Thanks again.
