How to get variable name of an object in c++ level?

[L TY]

Hello,

I need to get the variable name of an object name in c++ level.

For example

```

var a = "test";

```

I need to get the string "a" from the internal Handle<Object> representation of `a`.

Anyone has idea how to do it?

There is no simple way. The object itself does not know that it has been assigned to the variable "a". Also, semantics here seems fuzzy:

var a = "test";

var b = a;

What's the name?

However, you could figure out some of this if you collect a heap snapshot and see what the retaining paths of that object are.
