How do you find out the caller function in JavaScript when use strict is enabled?

Question

Is it possible to see the callee/caller of a function when use strict is enabled?

'use strict';    function jamie (){      console.info(arguments.callee.caller.name);      //this will output the below error      //uncaught TypeError: 'caller', 'callee', and 'arguments' properties may not be accessed on strict mode functions or the arguments objects for calls to them  };    function jiminyCricket (){     jamie();  }    jiminyCricket ();

For what it's worth, I agree with the comments above. For whatever problem you're trying to solve, there are usually better solutions.

However, just for illustrative purposes, here's one (very ugly) solution:

'use strict'  function jamie (){     var callerName;     try { throw new Error(); }     catch (e) {          var re = /(\w+)@|at (\w+) \(/g, st = e.stack, m;         re.exec(st), m = re.exec(st);         callerName = m[1] || m[2];     }     console.log(callerName); };  function jiminyCricket (){    jamie(); }  jiminyCricket(); // jiminyCricket 

I've only tested this in Chrome, Firefox, and IE11, so your mileage may vary.
