This is true, I was thinking of this later, and saw that in many cases, this COULD be done, And it can be done outside of the gwt compiler, if you like.
Some fancy regexp to find functions with EXACT method bodies and renaming+deletion could potentially decrease file sizes dramatically, but only for Obfuscated code... Possibly a fourth compiler option "PRODUCTION" which would do all the extra permutations for final builds, using text functions after the Java->JavaScript magic happens. One look at the logic trees from the compiler is enough to scare a stone into cold sweat, so to me, it seems easier to just use RegExp; capture the argument names, back-reference them in the method bodies, create generic method signatures, search for equalities, and then replace them down to a minimum. If someone who actually works on the compiler has any input, I'd love to hear it. /Starring this issue now... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
