printStackTrace throws exception with "use strict" code and PhantomJS

[mickaeltr]

Hello,

Trying to make use of stacktrace.js in my console.js project, I am getting errors when running unit tests with PhantomJS:

TypeError: Can't access arguments object of a strict mode function in https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stacktracejs/stacktrace.js/v0.6.0/stacktrace.js (line 285)

It seems like it is kind of the same bug as #47

I wonder if we can do some refactoring to prevent strict-mode errors by wrapping non-compatible code with something like: var strictModeOn = (function() { return !this; })(); if (strictModeOn) {...}

http://kangax.github.io/es5-compat-table/#strict-mode-ie10-note

IE10 PP2 has a bug with strict mode which makes the following expression "fail", even though strict mode is more or less supported: (function(){ "use strict"; return !this })()

• this test may not detect strict mode properly
• arguments may be accessible in some weird implementations

we should test exactly the same feature we want to use, i.e.

var argsAccessible = (function() {
    try {
        if (arguments.caller + arguments.callee) {
            return true;
        }
    } catch (e) {
        return false;
    }
})();

Strange enough that only PhantomJS disallows access to the arguments itself. We have unit test for this fragment of code in strict mode, and it doesn't throw error on access to the arguments in all tested browsers.
