1852028 - JS Tracer: Log 'function returned'

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Debugger, enhancement)

Description

[Jan Honza Odvarko [:Honza] (always need-info? me)]

The tracer only reports when we start calling a function. But it could be useful, especially for async functions to also log when we exit a function.

In the Web Console we could have a highlight feature to help highlight function entering and exiting logs.

Complexity: we may have some significant work in the console to avoid cluttering the console output.
This may be better to implement this via a new dedicated side panel in the debugger

For now, we were only logging when we enter a function call, but not when we exit.
