[edit] Description

JS_GetConstructor retrieves the constructor property of a given object, obj. If the result is a Function object, JS_GetConstructor returns a pointer to that object. Otherwise, it reports an error and returns NULL.

To get an object's prototype, use JS_GetPrototype. To get an object's parent, use JS_GetParent.
