获取使用Function构造函数创建的函数的名称

Question

I have created a function dynamically via Function constructor. Now I want to get the name of the function within itself. How can this be possible?

var myFunc = new Function("arg", "// want the name here")

I can call the function using myFunc(arg) but the name does not gets printed using arguments.callee.name

Update: Is there any way to get the reference atleast ie something like

myFunc instanceof <something>...

Answer 1

Functions created using the Function constructor are anonymous, that's why .name is empty. If for some reasons you need a named function, have a look at Is there any non-eval way to create a function with a runtime-determined name? .
