- a = a + x ==> a+=x
- joining consecutive var statements (hoisting is not always desirable)
- x == false ==> x == 0, x != true ==> x != 1
- x, x ==> x; x = exp(), x ==> x = exp()
- discarding useless break-s
- all symbols now have a `thedef` property which is a SymbolDef object,
instead of the `uniq` that we had before (pointing to the first occurrence
of the name as declaration).
- for undeclared symbols we still create a SymbolDef object in the toplevel
scope but mark it "undeclared"
- we can now call figure_out_scope after squeezing, which is useful in order
not to mangle names that were dropped by the squeezer
The following nodes were instances of AST_BlockStatement: AST_Scope,
AST_SwitchBlock, AST_SwitchBranch. Also, AST_Try, AST_Catch, AST_Finally
were having a body instanceof AST_BlockStatement.
Overloading the meaning of AST_BlockStatement this way turned out to be a
mess; we now have an AST_Block class that is the base class for things
having a block of statements (might or might not be bracketed). The
`this.body` of AST_Scope, AST_Try, AST_Catch, AST_Finally is now an array of
statements (as they inherit from AST_Block).
Avoiding calling superclass's _walk function in walkers (turns out we walked
a node multiple times).
if (foo) {
with (bar)
if (baz)
x();
} else y();
(the compressor removes the brackets since the consequent consists of a
single statement, but the codegen must include the brackets because
otherwise the `else` would refer to the inner `if`)
- added walker for AST_ObjectProperty
- handle redefinitions properly (only mangle one symbol, make them all point
to a single definition)
DynarchLIB seems to run fine after mangling + compressed output.
