In [1], you might need JSDoc for the class function (@constructor, for example).
Back to your original test case: If you don't initialize the var myProp in your test case, what code is generated for these snippets we've been looking at? I would expect that GCC still renames myProp and whatever code end up initializing it also uses the renamed value. @export does not prevent renaming per-se. Instead it builds up a reference to the same thing. Maybe that's why it doesn't work, scalar types are by-value and not by-reference. IOW, if you have: AS: public function myMethod() {} The JS is: /** * @export */ MyComp.prototype.myMethod = function() {}; Then GCC outputs: MyComp.prototype.aa = function() {}; MyComp.prototype.myMethod = MyComp.prototype.aa; GCC will use aa instead of myMethod throughout the minified code. The myMethod is there for callers from outside the minified code or people using ["myMethod"] which is what MXML essentially does. But: MyComp.prototype.aa = false; MyComp.prototype.myProp = MyComp.prototype.aa; Is not going to work. I guess the compiler should either warn on public scalar vars, or generate bracket notation for those vars: MyComp.protoype["myProp"] = false; Thoughts? -Alex On 12/6/17, 2:51 AM, "Yishay Weiss" <yishayj...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > >>For some reason, when this code is output, the code gets minified >I guess the question is why the code gets mifinied if it’s annotated with >@export.
