install: honour npm's libc field for optional native packages, add --libc - #40013
MarshallOfSound wants to merge 5 commits into
Conversation
…ackages The manifest parser already read `libc` but it was never stored on the package or consulted, so on Linux both the -gnu and -musl prebuilt variants of native packages were downloaded and installed (there were TODOs for this in Meta and the bun.lock reader/writer). Now: * Meta carries `libc` in what used to be the padding byte after `origin`, so existing binary lockfiles read back as "unspecified"; it is filled from the manifest and round-tripped through bun.lock's package info object. * is_disabled() additionally requires a package's declared libc to match the host's (glibc unless bun itself targets musl; not consulted off Linux, nor for packages that don't declare it). `--libc <glibc|musl|*>` overrides it the same way --os/--cpu do. * PackageManager::try_get() for the few paths that may build a Meta before the manager singleton exists.
…detect-libc import, invalid --libc test

🟡 The --verbose skip-message block in src/install/lockfile/Tree.rs:575-597 still only has arms for cpu/os mismatches, so when a package is disabled purely by libc (os and cpu match) it is skipped silently with no "Skip installing … mismatch" line. Per REVIEW.md's "fix the whole class in the same PR / parallel switch arms", this sibling site should gain a libc arm alongside the is_disabled change.
Extended reasoning...
What the bug is
Meta::is_disabled() now returns true for a third reason — !self.libc_matches_host() — in addition to the existing cpu/os checks. But the verbose diagnostic block that runs when is_disabled() is true was not updated in step. In src/install/lockfile/Tree.rs:575-597:
if pkg_metas[pkg_id as usize].is_disabled(manager.options.cpu, manager.options.os) {
if manager.options.log_level.is_verbose() {
let meta = &pkg_metas[pkg_id as usize];
...
if !meta.os.is_match(...) && !meta.arch.is_match(...) {
// "cpu & os mismatch"
} else if !meta.os.is_match(...) {
// "os mismatch"
} else if !meta.arch.is_match(...) {
// "cpu mismatch"
}
// no else — libc-only falls through silently
}
return true;
}There is no final else and no branch that consults meta.libc.
Code path that triggers it
- A package declares
"os": ["linux"], "cpu": ["x64"], "libc": ["musl"](e.g.@next/swc-linux-x64-musl,@swc/core-linux-x64-musl). - On a glibc x64 Linux host running
bun install --verbose,meta.os.is_match(linux)→ true,meta.arch.is_match(x64)→ true, butmeta.libc.is_match(GLIBC)→ false. is_disabled()returnstrue(line 575), we enter the verbose block.- All three conditions at lines 579, 584, 589 evaluate to
falsebecause os and cpu both match. - Nothing is printed;
return trueat line 596 skips the package.
Why existing code doesn't prevent it
Before this PR, is_disabled() only tested cpu and os, so the three arms were exhaustive over the reasons it could return true. This PR adds a fourth reason without updating the parallel arm set — exactly REVIEW.md's "Fix the whole class in the same PR … parallel switch arms … every caller of a changed helper".
Impact
Diagnostic-only. The package is correctly skipped; the only effect is that --verbose output is inconsistent — every other platform-based skip prints a reason line, but a libc-only skip is silent. This is realistic in the wild (any *-linux-*-musl optional native package on a glibc host, which is the whole point of this PR).
Step-by-step proof
- Host: Linux glibc x64,
bun install --verbose. manager.options.os = LINUX,manager.options.cpu = X64,manager.options.libc = GLIBC.- Package meta:
os = LINUX,arch = X64,libc = MUSL. is_disabled:arch.is_match(X64)=true,os.is_match(LINUX)=true,libc_matches_host()→MUSL.is_match(GLIBC)→(0b100 & 0b010) != 0→ false →is_disabledreturnstrue.- Verbose branch: line 579
!true && !true→ false; line 584!true→ false; line 589!true→ false. No print.return true.
Fix
Add a libc arm (and/or a fall-through else) to the chain, e.g.:
} else if !meta.libc.is_match(manager.options.libc) {
bun_core::pretty_errorln!(
"<d>Skip installing<r> <b>{}<r> <d>- libc mismatch<r>",
bstr::BStr::new(name)
);
}Optionally also mention libc in the combined-mismatch messages when it applies.

🟡 PRUNE_HELP_PARAMS lists --os and --cpu ("Prune for a different … than the current one") but wasn't given a matching --libc entry. The flag works for bun prune (it's in SHARED_TAIL_PARAMS → PRUNE_PARAMS) and is functional since is_disabled() now consults libc — only the curated bun prune --help output is missing it.
Extended reasoning...
What the bug is
bun prune --help prints a curated flag table (PRUNE_HELP_PARAMS) rather than the full SHARED_PARAMS list, so that only flags relevant to pruning are shown. That table explicitly surfaces the two platform-override flags:
clap::param!("--os <STR>... Prune for a different operating system than the current one"),
clap::param!("--cpu <STR>... Prune for a different CPU architecture than the current one"),This PR adds --libc to SHARED_TAIL_PARAMS (so bun prune accepts and honours it — PRUNE_PARAMS includes SHARED_PARAMS which includes SHARED_TAIL_PARAMS), and Meta::is_disabled() now consults libc, which the prune reachable-set walk uses. But the curated help table wasn't updated with a matching --libc <STR>... Prune for a different libc than the current one entry.
Step-by-step
- User runs
bun prune --help. Subcommand::Prunearm callsclap::simple_help(PRUNE_HELP_PARAMS)(notPRUNE_PARAMS).PRUNE_HELP_PARAMScontains--osand--cpuentries (added specifically because prune's disabled-package check consults them) but no--libc.- Help output shows
--os/--cpubut not--libc, even though all three now participate in the sameis_disabled()check that decides what prune removes.
Why existing code doesn't prevent it
PRUNE_HELP_PARAMS is a hand-maintained parallel table, distinct from the PRUNE_PARAMS table that clap actually parses against. Adding a flag to SHARED_TAIL_PARAMS makes it accepted, but doesn't make it appear in the curated help — that requires a separate edit.
Why this is in scope
Per REVIEW.md: "Fix the whole class in the same PR — grep for every sibling site sharing the pattern: parallel switch arms…" The --os/--cpu entries in PRUNE_HELP_PARAMS are exactly the sibling sites of the new --libc flag; the PR updated the SHARED_TAIL_PARAMS triple and the docs (--cpu, --os and --libc flags) but missed this one parallel table. DEDUPE_HELP_PARAMS doesn't list --os/--cpu so it needs no change.
Impact
Cosmetic only — the flag is fully functional for bun prune; a user reading --help just won't discover it there. Not merge-blocking.
Fix
Insert one line after the --cpu entry in PRUNE_HELP_PARAMS:

🟡 is_disabled() takes cpu/os as explicit parameters but reaches into the global PackageManager singleton via the newly-added try_get() for libc — asymmetric with how the sibling data flows. All four callers already have the manager in scope and pass pm.options.cpu/pm.options.os; threading libc: Libc as a third parameter would keep the function pure, let reachable::Options.platform stay a complete tuple, and let PackageManager::try_get() be deleted. No behavioral divergence today (every caller's cpu/os equals the singleton's), so this is a consistency nit, not a correctness bug.
Extended reasoning...
What
Meta::is_disabled() was previously a pure function of its inputs: (cpu, os) come in as parameters, and it checks self.arch/self.os against them. This PR adds a third check — libc — but instead of adding a third parameter, it reaches into the global PackageManager singleton via the newly-added PackageManager::try_get():
pub fn is_disabled(&self, cpu: Architecture, os: OperatingSystem) -> bool {
!self.arch.is_match(cpu) || !self.os.is_match(os) || !self.libc_matches_host()
}
fn libc_matches_host(&self) -> bool {
if self.libc == Libc::NONE { return true; }
let target = crate::package_manager_real::PackageManager::try_get()
.map(|pm| pm.options.libc)
.unwrap_or(Libc::CURRENT);
self.libc.is_match(target)
}This is asymmetric: cpu and os arrive as parameters (the caller decides which target to check against), while libc is silently pulled from a process global (or a compile-time constant if the singleton hasn't been allocated).
Callers
I traced every caller of is_disabled():
PackageManagerLifecycle.rs:74—pkg.is_disabled(self.options.cpu, self.options.os)whereselfis thePackageManager.Tree.rs:575—pkg_metas[pkg_id].is_disabled(manager.options.cpu, manager.options.os).lockfile.rs:723(is_resolved_dependency_disabled) — takescpu/osas parameters, called fromtree_printer.rs:246-251withthis.options.cpu/this.options.os(which ispm.options).reachable.rs:188—self.metas[target].is_disabled(cpu, os)where(cpu, os)come fromself.options.platform, which is only everNone(line 30, skips the check entirely) orSome((manager.options.cpu, manager.options.os))(line 44).
Every one of them already has the PackageManager in scope and passes pm.options.cpu/pm.options.os. Threading pm.options.libc alongside would be trivial.
Why it matters (and why it's only a nit)
No wrong behavior today. In every current call path, the cpu/os parameters equal pm.options.cpu/pm.options.os, so reading libc from the same pm.options via the singleton produces the same answer as a parameter would. Nothing observable breaks if this merges as-is.
But it's inconsistent with the file's own convention (REVIEW.md: "Match the exact file's local conventions", "Use the simplest mechanism the invariants allow"). The existing design deliberately made is_disabled() a pure function so callers can ask "is this package disabled for platform X" — reachable::Options even models this explicitly with a platform: Option<(Architecture, OperatingSystem)> field the caller fills in. After this PR that tuple is incomplete: a future caller that supplies a custom (cpu, os) for cross-platform reachability analysis would get libc filtering silently applied against whatever the global --libc happens to be, not against the platform it asked about.
The PR description says try_get() is added "for the couple of paths that can construct a Meta before the manager singleton exists", but no such caller of is_disabled() is demonstrated — the four callers above all run after the manager is initialized. try_get() (and its unsafe block) exists solely to enable this global reach.
Step-by-step (hypothetical divergence)
- A future caller constructs
reachable::Options { platform: Some((Architecture::X64, OperatingSystem::LINUX)), .. }to compute what would be reachable on a linux-x64 target, while the process was invoked with--libc musl. reachable.rs:188callsmeta.is_disabled(x64, linux)for a package declaringlibc: ["glibc"].arch.is_match(x64)andos.is_match(linux)pass (parameter-driven).libc_matches_host()readspm.options.libc == MUSLfrom the global, soGLIBC.is_match(MUSL)is false → package reported as disabled, even though the caller supplied no libc constraint and might have expected glibc for the linux-x64 target it asked about.
Today no constructor sets platform to anything other than (pm.options.cpu, pm.options.os), so step 1 doesn't happen — hence nit, not blocking.
Suggested fix
Add libc: Libc as a third parameter to Meta::is_disabled() (and the Package::is_disabled() wrapper and Lockfile::is_resolved_dependency_disabled()), pass pm.options.libc / manager.options.libc at the four call sites, extend reachable::Options.platform to Option<(Architecture, OperatingSystem, Libc)>, inline the Libc::NONE short-circuit into is_disabled(), and delete PackageManager::try_get() and libc_matches_host().

The old-format fixture loads with the padding byte zeroed, which is Libc::NONE by construction (#[repr(u8)], NONE = 0); happy to add the explicit assertion if this PR proceeds.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@MarshallOfSound, correct. The current layout maps the zeroed padding byte to Libc::NONE.
The explicit assertion is not required for correctness today. It would protect the old-format compatibility contract if Libc representation or lockfile loading changes later. I will keep this as a low-priority test-coverage suggestion.

Thread libc through the platform-filtering APIs.
PackageManagerLifecycle, Tree, and tree_printer can pass options.libc, but reachable::Options does not contain libc. Add it to Options::install and pass it through Package::is_disabled and Lockfile::is_resolved_dependency_disabled. Keep Options::all unfiltered because its platform is None. This removes the hidden PackageManager::try_get() lookup from Meta.

@MarshallOfSound, understood. The current implementation can remain pending the decision between this PR and #38797. If #38797 is selected, its parameter-based libc flow addresses the cleaner API shape.

Extract the repeated negatable-flag parsing logic.
This block duplicates the --cpu (lines 1524-1549) and --os (lines 1551-1576) parsing blocks almost line for line: apply values, handle the * wildcard, and reject unrecognized values with the same error-and-crash shape. The --libc block is the third copy of the same pattern.
Extract a small generic helper (parameterized by the flag name, the error message, and the Negatable-capable type) and call it three times instead. This keeps a future fix to the shared logic from being applied to only one or two of the three copies.

Reasonable, but it would rewrite the pre-existing --cpu/--os blocks too; leaving as is pending the #38797 decision.

@MarshallOfSound, understood. The refactor changes the existing --cpu and --os parsing paths. Deferring it until the #38797 decision is appropriate.

🟡 Four more arch/os sibling sites still lack a libc arm (same 'fix the whole class' pattern as the three already noted): src/install/pnpm.rs:1377 (// TODO: libc — pnpm-lock.yaml v9 records libc: per package, so migrated lockfiles lose it); src/install/postinstall_optimizer.rs:105-108 (native-binlink selection by arch/os only — non-default nativeDependencies config only, degrades gracefully); src/install/migration.rs:425-436 (clear_non_registry_platform_constraints resets arch/os but not libc — dormant today, becomes live once the pnpm read is added); src/install/lockfile/lockfile_json_stringify_for_debugging.rs:362-386 (debug JSON dumps arch/os but not libc — diagnostic only).
Extended reasoning...
What this is
The PR wires libc through Meta, is_disabled(), and the bun.lock reader/writer here at lines 2848-2850 (removing the // TODO(dylan-conway) stub). Per REVIEW.md — "Fix the whole class in the same PR — grep for every sibling site sharing the pattern: parallel switch arms … every caller of a changed helper" — I grepped for the remaining sites where meta.arch and meta.os appear as a pair without a matching meta.libc arm. Beyond the three already flagged in this review (Tree.rs verbose block, PRUNE_HELP_PARAMS, is_disabled parameter asymmetry), four remain. None are merge-blocking; listing them together so they can be swept in one pass.
Site 1 — src/install/pnpm.rs:1371-1377 (functional, narrow)
if let Some(os_expr) = package_obj.get(b"os") {
pkg.meta.os = npm::negatable_from_json::<npm::OperatingSystem>(&os_expr)?;
}
if let Some(cpu_expr) = package_obj.get(b"cpu") {
pkg.meta.arch = npm::negatable_from_json::<npm::Architecture>(&cpu_expr)?;
}
// TODO: libcpnpm-lock.yaml v9 records libc: [glibc] / libc: [musl] per package. This is the exact sibling of the bun.lock reader block updated in this PR (which removed an identical TODO stub), and commit ec816db in this PR is titled "drop stale libc TODO markers" — this one was missed.
Step-by-step: a project with @swc/core in pnpm-lock.yaml has @swc/core-linux-x64-musl recorded with libc: [musl]. On bun install (migration), pkg.meta.libc stays Libc::NONE. The resulting bun.lock has no "libc" for that package. A subsequent bun install --frozen-lockfile on a glibc host then downloads and extracts the musl variant too (pre-PR behavior).
Fix: add after the cpu block:
if let Some(libc_expr) = package_obj.get(b"libc") {
pkg.meta.libc = npm::negatable_from_json::<npm::Libc>(&libc_expr)?;
}Site 2 — src/install/postinstall_optimizer.rs:92-114 (non-default config; graceful fallback)
get_native_binlink_replacement_package_id picks the first optional dep whose meta.arch and meta.os match the target (line 108), skipping ones with arch == ALL || os == ALL (line 105). It doesn't consult meta.libc.
Step-by-step: for a package like @swc/core whose optionalDependencies include both @swc/core-linux-x64-gnu (libc: glibc) and @swc/core-linux-x64-musl (libc: musl), both have the same arch/os, so line 108 returns whichever appears first in the resolutions slice — potentially the one is_disabled() now filters out of node_modules. The two callers (PackageInstaller.rs:588, isolated_install/Installer.rs:2212) then try to redirect the meta-package's .bin at a package that wasn't extracted.
Why nit: the two default native-binlink packages (esbuild, @anthropic-ai/claude-code, lines 24-28) don't ship libc-split variants, so default configuration is unaffected — this is only reachable via user-configured nativeDependencies in package.json. And both callers degrade gracefully: the hoisted path retries without the optimization via can_retry_without_native_binlink_optimization, and the isolated path finds no matching entry node and falls through to the meta-package's own JS-wrapper bin.
Fix: thread target_libc: npm::Libc alongside target_cpu/target_os (both callers already have manager.options.libc in scope), then at line 108 also require (meta.libc == npm::Libc::NONE || meta.libc.is_match(target_libc)).
Site 3 — src/install/migration.rs:425-436 (dormant; coupled to site 1)
clear_non_registry_platform_constraints resets meta.arch = Architecture::ALL and meta.os = OperatingSystem::ALL for non-root/non-npm packages after a lockfile migration but doesn't reset meta.libc = Libc::NONE. Its doc comment is also now stale ("A fresh resolve only records os/cpu…").
Addressing the objection that this is a no-op today: correct — no migration path currently writes meta.libc for non-npm packages, so adding the reset changes nothing observable right now. It's included here (rather than as a separate finding) precisely because it's coupled to site 1: pnpm records os/cpu — and libc — for every packages: entry including file:/tarball/git packages (per the comment at pnpm.rs:1620-1622, which is why this function exists). Fixing site 1 without also adding the libc reset here would make it live — a folder/tarball package migrated from pnpm would then be spuriously skipped on a mismatching-libc host. So: apply both together, or neither.
Site 4 — src/install/lockfile/lockfile_json_stringify_for_debugging.rs:362-386 (diagnostic only)
The debug-JSON per-package dump has parallel arch (362-373) and os (375-386) blocks iterating NAME_MAP_KVS, but no libc block. Zero user-facing impact — the file name says "for_debugging" — but it's an exact parallel arm.
Fix: add a matching block:
if pkg.meta.libc.0 != 0 && pkg.meta.libc.0 != Npm::Libc::ALL_VALUE {
w.object_field(b"libc")?;
w.begin_array()?;
for (key, value) in Npm::Libc::NAME_MAP_KVS {
if pkg.meta.libc.has(*value) {
w.write(*key)?;
}
}
let _ = w.end_array();
}Severity
Nit. Site 1 has a real (narrow) functional consequence but only on the one-time pnpm→bun migration path, and the effect is falling back to pre-PR behavior for those packages until the manifest is next consulted. Site 2 is unreachable in default config and degrades gracefully. Site 3 is dormant (and reported here so it isn't missed when site 1 is fixed). Site 4 is diagnostic-only. Nothing here would justify blocking merge; they're the tail end of the same sibling-site sweep already underway on this PR.

🟡 A fifth arch/os sibling site not covered by the sweep at bun.lock.rs:2850: src/install/migration/npm_lock.rs:310-375 reads b"cpu" and b"os" from package-lock.json entries but has no pkg.get(b"libc") arm, falling through to ..lockfile::Meta::default() (libc = NONE). npm's package-lock.json v3 records per-package "libc" (e.g. @swc/core-linux-x64-musl carries "libc": ["musl"]), so a migrated bun.lock loses it and a subsequent --frozen-lockfile install on glibc downloads both variants. Nit — one-time migration path only; a non-frozen install repairs it via this metadata-refresh block.
Extended reasoning...
What the bug is
src/install/migration/npm_lock.rs:310-375 builds a lockfile::Meta from an npm package-lock.json entry. It reads pkg.get(b"cpu") into arch (lines 310-330) and pkg.get(b"os") into os (lines 332-350), then falls through to ..lockfile::Meta::default() at line 375, which now sets libc = Libc::NONE. There is no pkg.get(b"libc") arm — grep confirms no b"libc" reference anywhere in src/install/migration/npm_lock.rs.
npm's package-lock.json v3 records a per-package libc array alongside os/cpu (npm 10.x+ writes it for packages declaring the field; npm-install-checks consults it). Real-world lockfiles for @swc/core, @next/swc, etc. carry "libc": ["musl"] / "libc": ["glibc"] on their optional native platform packages.
Why this is not a duplicate
The existing sibling-site comment at bun.lock.rs:2850 lists four locations: pnpm.rs:1377, postinstall_optimizer.rs:105-108, migration.rs:425-436 (clear_non_registry_platform_constraints — a different function in a different file), and lockfile_json_stringify_for_debugging.rs:362-386. It does not include migration/npm_lock.rs. This is a distinct fifth site with the same fix shape as the pnpm.rs case — both are lockfile-migration readers that parse os/cpu arrays from another package manager's lockfile.
Step-by-step trigger
- Project has a
package-lock.json(nobun.lock) with e.g.@swc/core, whose optionalDependencies include both@swc/core-linux-x64-gnu("libc": ["glibc"]) and@swc/core-linux-x64-musl("libc": ["musl"]). bun installruns the package-lock.json → bun.lock migration path (migration/npm_lock.rs).- For each package,
archandosare populated from the package-lock entry, butmeta.libcstaysLibc::NONEvia..Meta::default(). - The resulting
bun.lockhas no"libc"key for either variant (the writer atbun.lock.rs:1181skipslibc == NONE). - A subsequent
bun install --frozen-lockfileon a glibc x64 Linux host: for both packagesmeta.arch.is_match(X64) = true,meta.os.is_match(LINUX) = true, andlibc_matches_host()returnstrue(thelibc == NONEearly return).is_disabled()isfalsefor both, so both the glibc and musl variants are downloaded and extracted — the pre-PR behavior this PR is meant to fix.
Why existing code doesn't prevent it
The metadata-refresh block anchored here at lockfile.rs:1510-1512 (if pkg_meta.libc == Npm::Libc::NONE { pkg_meta.libc = pkg.package.libc; }) would repair it — but only on a non-frozen install that re-fetches the manifest. --frozen-lockfile reads the lockfile as-is and never reaches the refresh path, so the freshly-migrated lockfile keeps libc = NONE and both variants install.
Impact and severity
Nit — same as the four sibling sites already flagged. Functional but narrow: only affects the one-time npm→bun migration path, and only for a subsequent --frozen-lockfile install directly off the migrated lockfile (typical CI flow: commit the migrated bun.lock, then bun ci on Linux). A subsequent non-frozen bun install self-heals via the manifest refresh. The failure mode is the pre-PR behavior (extra download/extract of the wrong-libc variant), not a crash or incorrect install of the right variant.
Fix
After the os: block at migration/npm_lock.rs:350, add a libc: initializer mirroring the arch/os blocks:
libc: if let Some(libc_array) = pkg.get(b"libc") {
'libc: {
let mut libc = Npm::Libc::NONE.negatable();
let Some(arr) = libc_array.as_array() else {
break 'libc Npm::Libc::NONE;
};
for item in arr {
let Some(s) = item.as_string() else { continue };
libc.apply(s);
}
libc.combine()
}
} else {
Npm::Libc::NONE
},(Exact shape should match the neighboring arch:/os: blocks in that file.)
