Firebug (and also Web Inspector) allows to label dynamically evaluated scripts using a special directive. The directive is a simple comment that is appended to the bottom of the evaluated script.
//@ sourceURL=foo.js
Such label is important especially for debuggers displaying list of scripts available on a page and so, developers can pick the right script see the source code and eventually create a breakpoint.
In order to avoid IE JS conditional compilation issues, Firebug will also support new syntax:
//# sourceURL=foo.js
This support will be available since Firebug 1.11.5 and Firebug 1.12 alpha 7
Syntax of the directive needs to match this regular expression:
/\/\/[@#]\ssourceURL=\s*(\S*?)\s*$/m;
