# etc ...
In the webkit-debug mode the global object _inspector is the WebInspector object. You can call these Objective-C methods by replacing the colons with underscores (the sender argument is ignored and can be omitted).
For example, to enable the debugger (doesn't automatically break though):
_inspector.startDebuggingJavaScript_();
- Only builds on Mac OS X and JSCocoa support is currently broken, but both of these things can be fixed with improved Makefiles (or Jakefiles)
