Indeed, for some minifiers it's a must. These minifiers avoid (understandably) the hassle/expensiveness of building a parse tree and rely on (clever!) tricks that in turn require the programmer to put every semicolon in the source text, as if post-ASI, explicitly. But "a=b\nc=d\n".length is equal to "a=b;c=d;".length and that proves that it can be minified just as much without the explicit semicolons. -- Jorge. _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
