General improvements

Changes to code extraction

  • Parallel extraction of JavaScript files (but not TypeScript files) on LGTM is now supported. The LGTM_THREADS environment variable can be set to indicate how many files should be extracted in parallel. If this variable is not set, parallel extraction is disabled.
  • The extractor now offers experimental support for E4X, a legacy language extension developed by Mozilla.
  • The extractor now supports additional Flow syntax.
  • The extractor now supports Nullish Coalescing expressions.
  • The extractor now supports TypeScript 3.2.
  • The TypeScript extractor now handles the control-flow of logical operators and destructuring assignments more accurately.
