Looks like it was added in
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332176
Before that, the stack claimed the url of the caller of eval() but a
line number which was the sum of the line number of the eval() call
itself and the line number of the code throwing the exception inside the
eval string, I believe, or some such insanity.
There's a lot of noise there in the discussion, but I think the key
recent part is comment 40 in the above bug, which summarizes what I
think we implemented. Note that per comment 42 we do something similar
for new Function() as well, so you can get a stack trace like so:
anonymous at url line 3 > Function:1:1 @url:3:5
for a testcase like this:
try {
new Function("throw new Error()")();
} catch (e) {
document.write(e.stack);
}
