You should null-check JS_ValueToFunction's result, it can fail.

If you want to turn any value into a literal expression in a string, use 
  s = uneval(e); eval(s) then results in an expression equivalent to e.

If you need a C API, you'll have to call js_ValueToSource -- but it's 
not a public entry point.
