Split out of #33866.

Problem

• An error from a source that JSC holds as a 16-bit string prints no source excerpt. bun -e '(0, eval)("中文")' prints the error and the stack, with no 1 | 中文 above them.
• On main: each --compile executable with a non-ASCII preserved comment, and each eval, new Function or vm.compileFunction source with a character above U+00FF.
• The cause is the sourceString.is8Bit() test in populateStackFramePosition (src/jsc/bindings/ZigException.cpp:151). The context-line loops read through span8().

Fix

• The context-line loops index the source as a StringView, in both widths. The 8-bit test is gone.
• Correct because a JSC position counts code units, and StringView::operator[] returns one code unit in each width. The current-line scan above these loops already does this.
• Verified: compile/NoSourceMapNonAsciiSource in test/bundler/bundler_compile.test.ts, and the 16-bit end-of-text case in test/js/bun/util/inspect-error.test.js. Both fail on main 449877f (debug ASAN build) and pass here, with all of inspect-error.test.js.

Background

• A JSC string is 8-bit (Latin-1) or 16-bit (UTF-16). span8() works only on 8-bit.
• The source excerpt is the N | code block above a printed error.
• Hardening: fix crashes across the runtime, bundler, dev server, shell and CLI #46021 merged the other half of this PR (the position of a multi-line new, the end-of-text bound). The REPL decode is now in repl: evaluate input the REPL transform does not take through each caller's result path (-e/-p exit code, .copy, _) #45267.

Downsides

• A 16-bit line longer than 1,024 bytes now gets an excerpt, and the existing clamp can cut it inside a character, as it does for files on main (Clamp code frame source lines on a UTF-8 character boundary #41873).
• None found for 8-bit sources: the same loops run, with one width check per character, only when an error is formatted.

Notes

What this PR was, and where the parts went

• Until 2026-10-21 this PR had three parts: the excerpt (ZigException.cpp), the position of a multi-line new plus the end-of-text bound (ErrorStackFrame.cpp, ZigException.cpp), and the REPL decode (bindings.cpp).
• Hardening: fix crashes across the runtime, bundler, dev server, shell and CLI #46021 merged the second part, with its tests in inspect-error.test.js.
• The REPL decode and its .load test are removed here. repl: evaluate input the REPL transform does not take through each caller's result path (-e/-p exit code, .copy, _) #45267 has the same decode lines plus a check for a null source, and its own tests.
• ec41078 is what is left, on main 9634520: one condition and two loops in ZigException.cpp.

Who hits it on main

• --compile: a licence banner such as /*! © 2026 Example Inc. */ is enough. The executable prints the error and the stack with no excerpt, also with --sourcemap.
• eval, indirect eval, new Function and vm.compileFunction over text with a character above U+00FF (CJK, an emoji): no excerpt. With this change all four print one.
• Plain bun build --target=bun output is still read as Latin-1 on main. It joins this group with Decode module text that comes from disk or bundler output as UTF-8 #38714.

Tests

• compile/NoSourceMapNonAsciiSource: a compiled fixture with a non-ASCII preserved comment and a new (class ...)("boom") whose argument list is four lines below new. It asserts the excerpt (with the comment decoded), the caret line and :5:9. On the canary build 367d939 the output has no excerpt. On main the position is already right (Hardening: fix crashes across the runtime, bundler, dev server, shell and CLI #46021, Source positions: coverage, stack frames, call sites and source maps agree with the source #45677) and the excerpt is missing.
• inspect-error.test.js: main's test for a position at the end of the text now also runs (0, eval)("中文"). It asserts 1 | 中文, the caret and the message, with Malloc=1 so that ASAN sees a read past the text.
• Run on the debug (ASAN) build of ec41078: inspect-error.test.js (45 pass), compile/NoSourceMapNonAsciiSource.

Long lines

• Probe from the earlier head: an uncaught error on an eval source line of 1,500 bytes of CJK text. Main prints no excerpt. This change prints one, cut at 1,024 bytes inside a character. The same line in a file (an 8-bit source) is cut the same way on main.

Rebase of 2026-10-23

• The head was fe3b4da, on main 5c6d4e2. No change of content, and no conflict.
• Pass on a debug (ASAN) build of Decode module text that comes from disk or bundler output as UTF-8 #38714's head b518e9a, which has this commit: inspect-error.test.js (46) and compile/NoSourceMapNonAsciiSource.

Merge of 2026-10-26

• The head is 4a54eb1: fe3b4da plus a merge of main 449877f (8 commits, with the WebKit upgrade Upgrade WebKit to f59345e04a8d #46690). No conflict. The diff against main is the same as before.
• Debug (ASAN) builds on Linux x64, with the tests of this PR in both. With the src/ of main 449877f: compile/NoSourceMapNonAsciiSource fails (the stderr has the error and the stack, and no excerpt), and inspect-error.test.js has 45 pass and 1 fail (the 16-bit end-of-text case). With this head: compile/NoSourceMapNonAsciiSource passes, and inspect-error.test.js has 46 pass.
• A probe of eval, indirect eval, new Function and vm.compileFunction, each over a two-line text with one CJK character in a comment: main prints the line that threw for 0 of 4, and this head for 4 of 4. With an ASCII comment, both print it for 4 of 4.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template with both required sections, "What does this PR do?" (under Problem and Fix) and "How did you verify your code works?" (under Verified and Tests). It names the root cause, the code location, the fix, and the affected cases. It lists the tests run and their results on debug (ASAN) builds, and it records the scope change against the earlier head. The author also states the remaining risk for long lines. The test evidence covers the bundler test. The evidence note says the bundler test ran only on CI-covered platforms, so local proof for that test is not present on this machine. The description is complete enough to pass, and the note about platform-specific tests is a minor gap.

[claude]

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it touches native C++ across three JSC-binding sites (stack-frame position fix-up, source-line preview, REPL source decoding) with string-width subtleties, a human look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed

• Bun::toStringView → toZigString(StringView) handles 16-bit via taggedUTF16Ptr, so the newly-reachable 16-bit source_lines[] path is well-formed; the existing provider->ref() still owns the backing storage.
• Bun::toString(const char*, size_t) → BunString__fromBytes → fromUTF8ReplacingInvalidSequences for the U+FFFD substitution; the sourceLen > 0 guard covers the ASSERT(length > 0) in BunString__fromBytes.
• transferToWTFString() on the WTFStringImpl tag balances the leaked +1 from BunString__fromBytes (ref+deref), so no leak/UAF on the REPL source string.
• Both new tests assert the specific pre-fix failure modes (missing excerpt / 1:1 frame; .load defining nothing) and would fail on main.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR removes 8-bit-only assumptions from three readers of module source text in the JSC C++ bindings:

• src/jsc/bindings/ErrorStackFrame.cpp adjustPositionBackwards: deletes the !source.is8Bit() early-return that reset the frame to 1:1. The remaining code already indexes via source[i] (StringView::operator[]), which is width-agnostic; JSC divot/column offsets are code units in either width, so the arithmetic is unchanged.
• src/jsc/bindings/ZigException.cpp populateStackFramePosition: drops the sourceString.is8Bit() gate on the source-preview block and replaces the raw span8().data() byte pointer with sourceString[offset]. The variable rename (byte→code-unit) is cosmetic. The Bun::toStringView(sourceString.substring(...)) calls and provider->ref() lifetime handling are untouched.
• src/jsc/bindings/bindings.cpp Bun__REPL__evaluate: swaps WTF::String::fromUTF8 (returns null on ill-formed input) for Bun::toString(bytes, len).transferToWTFString(), which routes through BunString__fromBytes → fromUTF8ReplacingInvalidSequences.

Two new tests: a compiled fixture with a non-ASCII preserved comment and a multi-line new (class …) (covers both the preview and the position fix-up), and a REPL .load of a file with a stray 0xE9 in a preserved comment.

Security risks

None identified. The changes widen accepted inputs on already-trusted code paths (module source held by JSC, transpiled REPL program). No new user-controlled length arithmetic or allocation; indexing is bounded by sourceString.length() as before.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate-to-high. This is native C++ in the JSC bindings — the review guide's most-blocked category — and involves string-width representation (Latin-1 vs UTF-16). I verified: toZigString(StringView) tags 16-bit pointers so the Rust consumer sees the width; the compile test's toInclude("| /*! © café 中 */") assertion proves the full 16-bit print path decodes correctly; transferToWTFString() balances the ref left by BunString__fromBytes (constructs WTF::String(impl) = +1, then deref() = -1); and the sourceLen > 0 guard covers the ASSERT(length > 0) inside BunString__fromBytes.

Other factors

The PR description is unusually thorough (mechanism, before/after, verification against main, related suites run). The changes are mechanical — deleting a wrong guard and swapping to width-agnostic accessors — with no lifetime or ownership changes. I'm deferring rather than approving only because native JSC binding changes across three files with encoding subtleties are the kind a maintainer familiar with the Rust-side ZigString/BunString consumers should confirm end-to-end.

[robobun]

Head is 4a54eb1: fe3b4da plus a merge of main 449877f (2026-10-26, no conflict). The diff against main did not change. It is the part of this PR that main does not have yet: the source excerpt for 16-bit sources (ZigException.cpp).

• Hardening: fix crashes across the runtime, bundler, dev server, shell and CLI #46021 merged the position of a multi-line new in a 16-bit source and the bound for a position at the end of the text.
• The Bun__REPL__evaluate change and its .load test are removed from this PR. repl: evaluate input the REPL transform does not take through each caller's result path (-e/-p exit code, .copy, _) #45267 has the same decode lines with a check for a null source.

Reproduce: bun -e '(0, eval)("中文")' prints the error with no 1 | 中文 excerpt on main 449877f.

Tests: compile/NoSourceMapNonAsciiSource and the 16-bit case of the end-of-text test in inspect-error.test.js fail on a debug (ASAN) build of main 449877f. Both pass on a debug (ASAN) build of this head, with all 46 tests of inspect-error.test.js.

[alii]

Read the whole of populateStackFramePosition and adjustPositionBackwards against a 16-bit source, traced every offset back to JSC (all code units: divot, startOffset, lineColumn), checked operator[] bounds at each use, the toStringView-into-provider lifetime (provider is ref'd, Rust reads the tagged UTF-16 pointer), and the REPL decoder (BunString__fromBytes, transferToWTFString net one ref, empty and Dead cases same as before). Both fixtures reproduce on a main build for the stated reason: .load defines nothing, and the compile fixture hits the ErrorStackFrame assert. No remaining is8Bit/span8 gate on module text in ZigException.cpp, ErrorStackFrame.cpp, ErrorStackTrace.cpp or NodeVM.cpp. Fine to land from my side.

Two body nits: bun build --target=bun output is not 16-bit on main (the // @Bun arms load it as Latin-1 until #38714), only --compile and anything through clone_utf8 are; and the context-line skip in the preview that the test avoids asserting is described as tracked separately with no link, worth adding one.

[robobun]

Thanks. Both body nits fixed: the Problem bullet now says only --compile and clone_utf8 loads are 16-bit on main (plain --target=bun output joins them with #38714), and the context-line note links #38244, which is fixing the excerpt.

[claude]

LGTM — three focused fixes that lift 8-bit-only assumptions from code paths that already index via width-agnostic StringView.

What was reviewed:

• adjustPositionBackwards and the source-preview loop already used source[i] / sourceString.substring(); only the redundant is8Bit() gates and the raw span8() pointer read are removed. Verified Bun::toStringView → toEncodedSlice(StringView) tags 16-bit views (taggedUTF16Ptr), so the Rust consumer already handles both widths.
• Zig::convertUTF8ToString wraps fromUTF8ReplacingInvalidSequences (U+FFFD substitution) and is the same helper the module loader / BunString path uses; the sourceLen > 0 guard preserves the empty-input case.
• Both new tests exercise the exact failure modes described (no excerpt / 1:1 frame; REPL .load silently defining nothing) and would fail on main.

The two comment-cop bot flags look like heuristic false positives — the flagged comments are short doc/context notes, not workaround justifications.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

Three C++ changes in src/jsc/bindings/ plus two regression tests:

• ErrorStackFrame.cpp adjustPositionBackwards: deletes the !source.is8Bit() branch that reset the frame to 1:1 (and hit ASSERT_NOT_REACHED in debug). The remaining loop indexes source[pos.byte_position - i] via StringView::operator[], which returns a char16_t for either encoding, and JSC's divot/column offsets are code-unit offsets in both — so the arithmetic is already correct. Doc comment updated to say "code units".
• ZigException.cpp populateStackFramePosition: drops the sourceString.is8Bit() gate on the excerpt block and replaces the raw span8().data() pointer + bytes[i] reads with sourceString[i]. The Bun::toStringView(sourceString.substring(...)) calls that produce each excerpt line were already present; I confirmed toEncodedSlice(const StringView&) (helpers.h:264) branches on is8Bit() and tags 16-bit spans with taggedUTF16Ptr, so the Rust-side BunString consumer receives correctly-tagged data for both widths. The provider is still ref()'d before the borrowed views are stored, so lifetime is unchanged.
• bindings.cpp Bun__REPL__evaluate: swaps WTF::String::fromUTF8 (null on ill-formed UTF-8) for Zig::convertUTF8ToString (U+FFFD substitution via fromUTF8ReplacingInvalidSequences), matching how module sources are decoded elsewhere in BunString.cpp and helpers.h.

Security risks

None. All three sites read module text or transpiler output that Bun already parses/executes; no new untrusted-input surface. StringView::operator[] is bounds-asserted in debug and the loop bounds are the same > 0 / < length() guards as before.

Level of scrutiny

Medium — C++ bindings that touch JSC string internals warrant care, but each change is a strict relaxation of an over-restrictive guard where the underlying primitive (StringView indexing, toEncodedSlice) already supports both encodings. No new allocation, no ownership changes, no exception-scope changes.

Other factors

• Two well-targeted regression tests: compile/NoSourceMapNonAsciiSource asserts both the excerpt renders (with the non-ASCII comment decoded) and the frame is :5:9 not :1:1; the REPL .load test asserts the file evaluates and the bad byte round-trips as U+FFFD in Function.prototype.toString. Both fail on main per the PR description.
• CI (build #96691) was green on 166 jobs; the ASAN-lane timeouts and Windows agent outage were fleet-wide and unrelated.
• The two github-actions comment-cop inline comments flag the new doc/context comments as "paragraph-long workaround justifications". Both are 3–4 line explanatory comments (a doc comment on adjustPositionBackwards, and a why-this-decoder note in the REPL) — they read as normal context, not workaround apologetics. Not blocking.

[claude]

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

• 🟣 src/jsc/bindings/ZigException.cpp — pre-existing: a script whose last statement ends exactly at end-of-text makes the preview scan read one code unit past the source buffer. With the is8Bit() guard gone at ZigException.cpp:92, the loop at ZigException.cpp:154 indexes sourceString[lineStart] with lineStart == byte_position, and JSC's divot can equal sourceString.length() (e.g. eval("throw 1") with no trailing newline). The same unguarded source[pos.byte_position - i] read sits at ErrorStackFrame.cpp:37, now reached for 16-bit sources too. Fix: clamp the start index to length() - 1 (or skip the scan when byte_position >= length()) at both sites before the first index read, which covers 8-bit and 16-bit sources. [also at: src/jsc/bindings/ErrorStackFrame.cpp:37 - pre-existing: a new whose callee ends the source text makes the newline scan read one code unit past the source buffer, now for 16-bit sources as well as 8-bit.]

  Why this was flagged

  A source string evaluated without the transpiler (eval, new Function body, node:vm script, REPL fallback) whose final statement ends at the last character, for example eval("throw 1"): JSC's ThrowNode divot is lastTokenEndPosition, which equals the source length. populateStackFramePosition at src/jsc/bindings/ZigException.cpp:94 sets lineStart = location.byte_position and line 95 reads sourceString[lineStart] before checking it against sourceString.length(); the lineEnd loop at line 102 is bounded by maxSearch but the lineStart loop is not. WTF::StringView::operator[] only ASSERTs in debug, so release reads one code unit past the StringImpl buffer. On the base branch this read happens for 8-bit sources only; the diff removes the sourceString.is8Bit() guard at line 92 so 16-bit sources now take the same path. src/jsc/bindings/ErrorStackFrame.cpp:37 has the same shape: for i == 0 it reads source[pos.byte_position], and the base returned 0/0/0 for 16-bit sources there without reading.

  Verification: pre-existing (the base already performs the same unguarded read for 8-bit sources; this PR extends it to 16-bit sources by deleting the two is8Bit() guards). src/jsc/bindings/ZigException.cpp:153-154 reads sourceString[byte_position] before any comparison with sourceString.length(); only the forward scan at :160-161 is bounded. The sibling at src/jsc/bindings/ErrorStackFrame.cpp:36-37 is likewise unbounded.

• 🟣 src/jsc/bindings/ErrorStackFrame.cpp — pre-existing: a new call on the first source line whose argument list continues on a later line gets a stack column one too small. The column recount at src/jsc/bindings/ErrorStackFrame.cpp:45 loops while (i > 0 ...), so when no earlier newline exists it stops before counting the character at index 0. Fix: count every code unit back to the previous newline or the start of the source, for both 8-bit and 16-bit sources (i >= 0), while keeping the -1 that skips the divot position. This PR now routes 16-bit sources (compiled executables with non-ASCII text) through this loop, so the off-by-one newly applies to them as well.

  Why this was flagged

  Input: a source whose first line contains new X( at a non-zero column and whose arguments sit on a later line. getAdjustedPositionForBytecode (src/jsc/bindings/ErrorStackFrame.cpp:83) calls adjustPositionBackwards with amount = expr.startOffset; the column goes negative so the recount at src/jsc/bindings/ErrorStackFrame.cpp:44-48 runs. With divot at index 8 and amount 5, i starts at 2; the loop counts index 2 and 1 then stops at i == 0 without counting source[0], giving column 2 where new is at zero-based column 3. The base branch has the same loop for 8-bit sources; this PR removes the is8Bit early return at the old src/jsc/bindings/ErrorStackFrame.cpp:35, so 16-bit sources now reach it too. The guard pos.byte_position - amount < 0 at line 17 does not help: it only catches amount larger than the position. Consequence: the printed frame column (and any sourcemap lookup keyed on it) is one short for first-line constructor calls.

  Verification: pre-existing. Trigger: an op_construct whose new keyword is on the first source line at a non-zero column and whose callee ends (JSC divot) on a later line. Mechanism at src/jsc/bindings/ErrorStackFrame.cpp:44-48: while (i > 0 && source[i] != '\n') never examines index 0, so on line 0 it counts start-1 code units instead of start. The base branch has the identical i > 0 loop for 8-bit sources.

[robobun]

Went through the review of 6b80bea. One finding is a real defect that this PR widened, so it is fixed here (a865431).

• Read past the end of the text: confirmed. ASAN with Malloc=1 reports heap-buffer-overflow in populateStackFramePosition for (0, eval)("xyz") on main (READ of size 1) and for (0, eval)("中文") on the previous head (READ of size 2). The excerpt scan now starts at the last code unit and skips an empty source. adjustPositionBackwards has the same bound. test/js/bun/util/inspect-error.test.js has a test for both widths. My probes for the fix-up (throw new\nBoom and throw new\n(class extends Error{}) at the end of the text) did not read there, so that bound has no test of its own.
• First-line column one too small: confirmed on main for 8-bit sources. class B extends Error{}; throw new\nB(1) reports 1:31, and 2:32 when it is one line down. Not changed here: error.stack: report frames at new X(...) at the new keyword #37396 rewrites that recount (i >= 0), and the two changes would conflict in the same loop.
• Context-line labels: tracked by error printer: fix the code frame lines above errors thrown from vm/eval sources #38244, as the body says.
• Test comments: cut to what each fixture exercises.
• More variants (ASCII twin, a source map variant, err.stack): not added. error.stack: report frames at new X(...) at the new keyword #37396 adds the err.stack positions for new in stack.test.ts.

Include index zero when reconstructing the column.

When a multiline constructor expression starts on the first source line, this loop excludes the first code unit. The newly enabled 16-bit path therefore reports a column one position too early.

For example, const 中 = new\n Math(); should point to new at zero-based column 10, but this loop produces column 9.

Heads-up: #45267 carries the Bun__REPL__evaluate hunk of this PR unchanged (the Zig::convertUTF8ToString decode in src/jsc/bindings/bindings.cpp).

#45267 lets bun repl -e report success for a script that is evaluated as written. So it needs this hunk: an ill-formed byte must not turn such a script into an empty program.

The hunk is the same byte for byte. The new .load tests of #45267 are at another place in repl.test.ts. The two PRs merge cleanly in either order (git merge-file gives 0 conflicts in both files).

[robobun]

Correction to my note above. The comment check on #45267 flagged the three-line comment above the decode, as it did here. #45267 now has one line in its place:

    // WTF::String::fromUTF8 returns a null string for ill-formed UTF-8, and a null source evaluates to nothing.

The three code lines are still the same as here. So the second of the two PRs to land has one conflict hunk in bindings.cpp, in the comment only. If this PR takes the same line, the two hunks are identical again. repl.test.ts has no conflict.

[robobun]

A second implementation of the Bun__REPL__evaluate part exists at 7609d21 (branch robobun/c1f23755/repl-input). It is not a PR, and this PR owns the fix. Differences, in case one is useful here:

• It keeps String::fromUTF8 for valid input and decodes again with Zig::convertUTF8ToString only when the result is null, so a valid input takes one more branch and no other path.
• It checks the length with isValidCapacityForVector<char16_t> before fromUTF8, and reports an error when the second decode also returns null. It never evaluates a null source.
• Its tests also cover the routes that do not pass .load: a script of -e and -p with the byte 0xE9 in a kept comment, and a recalled history line.

Update on the Bun__REPL__evaluate hunk. This replaces my two notes of 2026-10-14.

• The three decode lines here must not land without a check for a null source. Zig::convertUTF8ToString returns a null string for a text longer than String::MaxLength and for 2^30 bytes or more that are not valid UTF-8. With the three lines alone, .load of such a file changes from an abort on main to Loading... and undefined (measured on a build of these lines: a 2 GiB sparse file, and a 1 GiB file with one 0xE9).
• repl: evaluate input the REPL transform does not take through each caller's result path (-e/-p exit code, .copy, _) #45267 now has the same three lines plus that check (RangeError: Out of memory), and tests for .load, -e and a recalled history line.
• At the next rebase of this PR, drop the REPL hunk and its .load test here, or add the same check. The three decode lines are identical in both PRs, so they still merge in either order.
• Hardening: fix crashes across the runtime, bundler, dev server, shell and CLI #46021 takes the crash half of this PR and leaves Bun__REPL__evaluate as on main.
