Accessing line number in V8 JavaScript (Chrome & Node.js)

by 
Object.defineProperty(global, '__stack', {
  get: function(){
    var orig = Error.prepareStackTrace;
    Error.prepareStackTrace = function(_, stack){ return stack; };
    var err = new Error;
    Error.captureStackTrace(err, arguments.callee);
    var stack = err.stack;
    Error.prepareStackTrace = orig;
    return stack;
  }
});

Object.defineProperty(global, '__line', {
  get: function(){
    return __stack[1].getLineNumber();
  }
});

console.log(__line);

The above will log 19.

Combined with arguments.callee.caller you can get closer to the type of useful logging you get in C via macros.
