Question

The following code will print 1:

(function (arguments) {
    console.log(arguments);
}(1, 2));

In effect, the arguments object has been overwritten. Is it possible to recover the default arguments object inside the function scope?

Answer 1

Actually, thinking about it, you can do it!

(function (arguments) {
    (function () {
       console.log(arguments.callee.caller.arguments);
    })();
})(1, 2);
