Description
I cannot use Obfuscator.io(https://obfuscator.io/)
to uglify my JS script because it contains a setTimeout within a function that calls itself.
MCVE:
function repeater() {
// DO SOME STUFF...
setTimeout(repeater, 100);
}
repeater();
Custom obfuscation settings required to reproduce:
- Identifier Names Generator: Mangled
- Reserved Names: $ - jQuery
Obfuscator.io's error message:
Error: @PostConstruct error in class t: @PostConstruct error in class t: Maximum call stack size exceeded
I've read a few other Stack Overflow questions about this. I understand that calling setTimeout(func) inside func is not actually recursion.
But still, Obfuscator.io's algorithm can't handle a self-invoking setTimeout delay.
How do I make a repeatedly-executing function using setTimeout without calling it in the function itself? I don't want to use setInterval because I want the delay to begin each time after the function's code has run. setInterval ignores that.
