Closure Compiler Breaks eval("$wnd.…")

Hi,

We recently tried to use the closure compiler to reduce file size and ran into an issue where the script would throw a reference error when loading the page. After some digging, I found that one of the Google Maps widgets (v2 for now) uses JSOpaque based enums, which use eval("$wnd.NAME") to get their values. When using the closure compiler (with -XenableClosureCompiler) (0,eval)("$wnd.NAME") is used instead, which uses global scope and so cannot find $wnd. I tried running the output of a regular GWT compile through the just the closure compiler and it did not change the eval statements. I set $wnd.$wnd=$wnd in onModuleLoad for now as a workaround but I'm wondering if there's a better way. Is there a way to configure how the compiler handles eval?

Thanks,

David
