It seems I found a valid fix for "strange" regular expressions. I suppose MyMin will be available tomorrow while packed.it has been just updated with last client version.
Have fun with packed.it and please tell me if some source cannot be parsed.
--------------------------------------
While I was testing every kind of source and CSS with my last creation, packed.it, I found a bug on JSmin logic, partially recoded inside MyMin project as JavaScript minifier (MyMinCSS and MyMinCompressor seem to work perfectly).
This bug seems to be present on every version linked in JSmin page.
I found this bug parsing jQuery UI + every CSS with my new service but one JavaScript file has one single, simple problem:
function(){return /reg exp with this ' char/;}
Bye bye JSmin, regexp will be parsed as string and an error will be raised.
The problem is reproducible just with a string that contains only this (so a source that begins and end with these 3 chars):
/'/
that's a normal regexp ... at this point I can be happy to found first packed.it and MyMin project bug and the coolest thing is that is inside a part of project that's not really mine :D
To solve this problem, just use
return new RegExp
or just asign reg to a var before return them ... it seems to be the only one bug I found parsing every kind of source. Did anyone solve them?
I know it's not so simple, just because a char by char parser cannot simply know if slash is for a division, a comment or a regexp.
Do You have any sugest to solve this problem? It will be really appreciated! :-)
