Compiler to remove every last possible space or ; #986
Description
Originally reported on Google Code with ID 978
Found in GWT Release:
Trunk r958
Detailed description:
There exist a few remaining cases in which the compiler in OBFUSCATED mode
could get rid of some white-space or semi-colons. There's not much left
after #968, but here are some suggestions:
1) Last semi-colon before closing brace (Note: this represents 3% of the
KitchenSink!)
{return a;} --> {return a}
2) Keywords (e.g. new|delete|case|else|function|return|throw|var) may be
immediately followed by certain characters, e.g. ' " [ ( { + - ! ~ ;
return 'text' --> return'text'
return ; --> return;
return [a,b] -> return[a,b]
3) Certain operator combinations
a&& !b --> a&&!b
a|| !b --> a||!b
4) Negative numbers
(-1) -> -1
5) Not equal (combined with negative numbers)
a!= (-1) --> a!=-1
6) The hard coded header and footer on the *.cache.html files could lose a
few hand trimmed bytes:
* lose white-space
* comma separate three var delcarations: $doc, $wnd, $moduleName
* possibly lose <head>, or was there a reason to have one script tag in
the head, and one in the body?
* lose <font> tag; we're bean counting, right?
