How to tell Google Closure Compiler in simple mode that particular function name could be compressed?

Question

Google Closure Compiler does it with ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS option, but I can not use it, since I use jQuery. So, I have to use SIMPLE_OPTIMIZATIONS, but I would like to compress names of some functions.

function myLongFunctionName(response) {
 // do something here
}

myLongFunctionName(text);

I am OK to have myLongFunctionName changed to a (or whatever Closure Compiler chooses). But I don't see any annotation , which could help me. How could I do it?

Answer 1

If function is local, then Google Closure Compiler renames it. I've moved my code into

(function(){

  function myLongFunctionName(response) {
   // do something here
  }

  myLongFunctionName(text);

})()

In result, it is compressed also.
