not support eval and new Function()/Function()

[CCuoGuo]

protobuf.js version: <6.11.3>

Hello, I encountered the following error when using protobuf 6.11.3 for file codec, indicating that eval and new Function()/Function() are not supported. How can I avoid this problem?

protobuf.load(path, function(err, root) {
              if (err){
                console.info('-----------------------awesome: ' + err)
                throw err;
              }
              // Obtain a message type
              var AwesomeMessage = root.lookupType("awesomepackage.AwesomeMessage");

              // Exemplary payload
              var payload = { awesomeField: "AwesomeString" };

              // Verify the payload if necessary (i.e. when possibly incomplete or invalid)
              var errMsg = AwesomeMessage.verify(payload);
              if (errMsg){
                console.info('-----------------------errMsg: ' + errMsg)
                throw Error(errMsg);
              }
              // Create a new message
              var message = AwesomeMessage.create(payload); // or use .fromObject if conversion is necessary

              // Encode a message to an Uint8Array (browser) or Buffer (node)
              var buffer = AwesomeMessage.encode(message).finish();
              console.info('-----------------------encode message: ' + new Uint8Array(buffer))
              // ... do something with buffer

              // Decode an Uint8Array (browser) or Buffer (node) to a message
              var message = AwesomeMessage.decode(buffer);

              console.info('-----------------------decode message: ' + JSON.stringify(message))

              // ... do something with message

              // If the application uses length-delimited buffers, there is also encodeDelimited and decodeDelimited.

              // Maybe convert the message back to a plain object
              var object = AwesomeMessage.toObject(message, {
                longs: String,
                enums: String,
                bytes: String,
                // see ConversionOptions
              });

Type.generateConstructor = function generateConstructor(mtype) {
    /* eslint-disable no-unexpected-multiline */
    var gen = util.codegen(["p"], mtype.name);
    // explicitly initialize mutable object/array fields so that these aren't just inherited from the prototype
    for (var i = 0, field; i < mtype.fieldsArray.length; ++i)
        if ((field = mtype._fieldsArray[i]).map) gen
            ("this%s={}", util.safeProp(field.name));
        else if (field.repeated) gen
            ("this%s=[]", util.safeProp(field.name));
    return gen

Same here. I've been using electron's cast library which uses protobuf as a dependency. Some security changes have stopped it from working due to no-new-func. It's kind of bad practice to use eval (as noted by the lint message).

support me. This project seems really out of maintenance. We have to unite until the contributors see this pull request.
