do-while semicolon

mishoo/UglifyJS2#893

I think that the do-while is a exception and should have a semicolon to prevent inconsistent behaviour and dev confusion

Thanks for the issue, @bounceme. I don't have time to read that entire issue. Can you clarify what exactly you're proposing we do?

[bounceme]

the semicolon is only necessary (browsers may behave differently) when not followed by a newline or } . I don't expect that that breaks a lot of code because I see it often, but I find it easier to tell whether the following lines are the while statements or not when the semicolon is there. it draws attention being either a null loop's semicolon, or the end of a do-while

[bounceme]

if it is configurable with eslint, i think that missing a semi should give a warning

[feross]

There isn't an ESLint rule to enforce what you're asking for, so I'm going to close this issue.

@bounceme maybe open an eslint issue for it?
(also, examples help)
