Debugging: Listing the "hidden" variables

I believe that there is the concept of a symbol table for variables that are flagged as hidden. These (I believe) can then be used by Espruino internals to cache away data. Is there a way to debug/dump the content of these variables?

Use use trace() - if you want to dig down into something specific then use trace(your_variable).

trace(global["\xFF"]) is probably the stuff you really care about.

Just to add - once you've found the hidden variables you can print them normally, so:

setInterval("",1000);
console.log(global["\xFF"].timers);

will give you a much cleaner dump of (for instance) active timers.

Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for.
