The compiler was embedding Python source code directly into compiled JavaScript (
$currSource="def hello():") at every annotated position, resulting in bloated output and non-standard source tracking.Changes
New:
src/sourcemap.jsSourceMapGeneratorclass implementing Source Map v3 formatsourcesContentfieldModified:
src/compile.jsSourceMapGeneratorwhen annotation enabledannotateSource()emits position references ($currSource='1:0') instead of inline source$sourceMapconstant with v3 source map$getSource(pos)helper to decode positions to source lineshandleTraceback()decodes positions before storing in error tracebacksModified:
src/main.jsImpact
Before:
After:
~57% reduction in source-related data size. Error tracebacks automatically display decoded source.
