Thank you very much! This is exactly what I need.

For someone who stuck with the same problem: the handler for script
loaded/unloaded event is set by JSD_SetScriptHook(), execution hooks
are set in this handler. Base line number and line extent can be
retrieved with JSD_GetScriptBaseLineNumber() and
JSD_GetScriptLineExtent() respectively.
