Browserify transform for contitional comments and variable replacement using jscc

jsccify's Issues

Interferes with transpilation

I found a problem trying to put a debug logging function in a separate module using ES6 modules:

Source "main.js":

//#if _DEBUG
//#set _LOG 'debugout'
import {$_LOG} from './mymodule'
//#else
//#set _LOG '//'
//#endif

$_LOG('Oops!')

Source "mymodule.js":

/*#if _DEBUG
export function debugout (s) {
  console.log(s)
}
//#elif 0 // */
export const $_LOG = null
//#endif

In all other submodules (imported from main.js) I could then shorten the boilerplate to the following since _LOG has already been set through main.js. I think there's no easy solution to get rid of the if condition since it is part of the import clause:

//#if _DEBUG
import {$_LOG} from './mymodule'
//#endif

After running browserify without jsccify:

mymodule.$_LOG('Oops!');

After running browserify with jsccify and _DEBUG = 0:

mymodule.//('Oops!');

This is the problem. It seems to apply jscc a bit too late.

After running browserify with jsccify and _DEBUG = 1:

mymodule.debugout('Oops!');

But now it is complaining that debugout is not defined in the other module which probably means that some processing order is not right.

Note that the same is working with the rollup plugin.

I use -t jsccify -p tsify as browserify options. The tsify is for TypeScript transpilation but I guess the same would happen with any kind of transpilation.
