Details:
This change addresses several issues related to building lztest-
node in SWF9.
+ lztestmanager was written using 'old style' class definition.
We could have found a way to make this work, but it seemed much
better to
take advantage of the new capabilities of defining classes via
'class' keywords, etc.
+ Many methods reference global variables. These variables either
appear
as part of the default application class, or become true
'globals'. In the
former case, we need to potentially emit 'with (this)' or 'with
(lzDefaultAppliation)',
apparently depending on whether the method is within the default
application or not.
In the latter case, the users of the global variable are fine,
but the variable needs
to be emitted in its own source file. This seems to be the only
way to create a standalone
global variable in SWF9.
package {
public var global = null;
}
+ Normally the JavascriptGenerator remaps local variables to names
like $1, $2, etc.
This was even happening for 'class variables' in explicitly
declared classes:
class foo {
var x = 1;
function bar() {
x++;
}
}
x would be renamed to $1, and the references to it (from bar)
were not remapped.
Even if we could remap all, this would not be appropriate if x
were public
(really only private should be remapped for this case). In
SWF9, we simply
disable this remapping for now. Undoubtedly, we'll need this
conditionally
(I left in a TODO) but it's easiest to make progress by
deferring this.
+ Fixed some small problems related to string manipulation of
generated code.
For SWF9, generated code contains 'annotations', that is line
and classname information
embedded in the generated Strings. These annotations are
stripped out when writing
the text to a file, but is also used to build line number tables
and direct output
to the proper filename. When making simple manipulations, like
'remove a semicolon
from the last character of a string', care must be taken to not
remove any part of
the annotation. Fortunately, very little string manipulation
occurs after code
is generated.
