About Closure Compiler renaming

A three part series from 2011 on Google Closure Compiler property renaming:

• Part 1, about property renaming with advanced optimizations
• Part 2, property renaming policies that didn't work
• Part 3, 2011's state-of-the-art property renaming tools

About Type Based Property Renaming, which were enabled by default in 2015

Function inlining

GCC does not seem to track call sites that use reflect/objectProperty to look up keys in objects. So, methods accessed using renamable keys may return incorrect values.

• use of goog.reflect.objectProperty does not prevent function inlining. see: https://github.com/google/closure-compiler/issues/2437, https://github.com/google/closure-compiler/issues/2751
