Get pointer address as string?

[Ian Beck]

Does anyone know how to take an object reference in Javascript, and
convert it to a string version of the object's pointer address?

Here's a simplified example of what I want to do

OBJECTIVE-C
[jsc callJSFunctionNamed:@"addressOfObject" withArguments:self, nil];

JAVASCRIPT
function addressOfObject(object) {
// Need to get pointer address as string from `object` here
}

How about an ObjC category method ?

@implementation NSObject (AddressAsString)
- (NSString*)addressAsString
{
return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%llx", self];
}
@end

function addressOfObject(object) {
return object.addressAsString
}
