Works for me.
You can pass callFrame to name() if you want, the result is the same.

What does your JavaScript look like?
E.g., if you're using a function expression

Foo.prototype.bar = function() { ... }

Then that function isn't going to have a name, e.g. your op_call code 
will print an empty string if you do "f = new Foo(); f.bar();".
You could "partially" name it by doing

Foo.prototype.bar = function bar() { ... }

For function definitions (e.g. "function foo() { ... }" in global code), 
the function is named accordingly.
