Problem

  • The Windows bunx shim launcher has a ReadWithoutLaunch mode with no caller (read_without_launch in src/install/windows-shim/bun_shim_impl.rs).
  • bun_sys, bun_libuv_sys and bun_mimalloc_sys export constants and wrappers with no reader on any target. They are pub, so rustc's dead_code lint does not report them.

Fix

Background

  • The bunx shim is the Windows program behind node_modules/.bin/<name>.exe. It reads <name>.bunx and starts the real program. bun run runs the same launcher in-process first.
  • A pub item can gain a reader on another platform or in an open PR. So each removal was compiled on every target and searched for in open PRs.
  • Considered keeping read_without_launch for a later shell fast path. No open PR uses it.

Downsides

  • None found for users: no caller can observe a difference. Checked 12 targets and the added lines of 1182 open PRs.
  • An open PR that adds a reader after that scan does not compile until it restores the item.
Notes

Net -226 lines (8 files, +109 / -335. The source side is +34 / -335, the rest is the test).

Removed

src/install/windows-shim

  • read_without_launch, FromBunShellContext, FromBunShellContextBuf, ReadWithoutLaunchResult, BunCtx::out_buf, LauncherMode, LauncherRet.
  • main.rs of the standalone PE: #![feature(adt_const_params)] and the incomplete_features allow, which only the ConstParamTy derive needed.

src/sys/lib.rs

  • O::{DSYNC, ACCMODE, SYMLINK}, RTLD::LOCAL (Windows module only), posix::R_OK, posix::AF::{UNSPEC, UNIX} (Windows only).
  • linux::E::{PERM, NOENT, NOMEM, NOSYS}, linux::EPOLL::{RDHUP, ET}, linux::IN::{ACCESS, CLOSE_WRITE, CLOSE_NOWRITE, OPEN, DONT_FOLLOW, MASK_ADD, ONESHOT, NONBLOCK}.
  • darwin::EVFILT::{VNODE, SIGNAL, TIMER, USER}, darwin::EV::{DISABLE, RECEIPT, EOF}, darwin::NOTE::{EXITSTATUS, SIGNAL, FORK, EXEC, TRIGGER, DELETE, WRITE, EXTEND, ATTRIB, LINK, RENAME, REVOKE, MEMORYSTATUS_PRESSURE_NORMAL}.
  • freebsd::EVFILT::{SIGNAL, TIMER, USER}, freebsd::EV::{DISABLE, RECEIPT, EOF, ERROR}, freebsd::NOTE::{FORK, EXEC, TRIGGER}.
  • Tag::{WriteFile, SetEndOfFile}. The Tag discriminants and the name table do not change.

src/sys/windows/mod.rs

  • Error (alias of Win32Error), the GetEnvironmentVariableW wrapper and GetEnvironmentVariableError, ENABLE_WRAP_AT_EOL_OUTPUT, ENABLE_PROCESSED_OUTPUT, disposition::ExceptionContinueExecution.

src/libuv_sys/libuv.rs

  • O::{RANDOM, SHORT_LIVED, TEMPORARY, DIRECTORY, EXLOCK, NOATIME, SYMLINK}, UV_NAMED_PIPE, UV_UNKNOWN_HANDLE, UV_HANDLE_TYPE_MAX, UV__EOF, UV__UNKNOWN, UV__ECHARSET, UV_DIRENT_* (8), UV_DISCONNECT, UV_PRIORITIZED, UV_FS_SYMLINK_DIR, UV_CHANGE, UV_FS_EVENT_WATCH_ENTRY, UV_FS_EVENT_STAT, UV_INHERIT_STREAM, UV_PROCESS_WINDOWS_HIDE_CONSOLE, UV_PROCESS_WINDOWS_HIDE_GUI, SIGHUP, SIGQUIT, SIGKILL, SIGWINCH.

src/mimalloc_sys/mimalloc.rs

  • The mi_heap_realloc declaration.

Kept, and why

Method

Rebase

  • This branch is one commit on main a0807241e6. Main had already removed the bun_uws_sys, bun_libdeflate_sys, bun_lsquic_sys, bun_alloc and File::write items that earlier versions of this PR listed, so those files are no longer in the diff.
  • install: consolidate the open package manager pull requests #44968 added a LauncherMode::fail(MODE, FailReason::BatchFileArgument) call to the launcher. Git merged it with no conflict. It is now fail_and_exit_with_reason(FailReason::BatchFileArgument) like the other sites.

Test

  • test/cli/install/bun-run.test.ts gets a Windows case for the one launcher branch this PR rewrites. A .bunx whose flags word fails validation must make the in-process launcher return to bun run, which then spawns the .exe shim. The shim reports bin metadata is corrupt (validate) and exits 255, and bun run then reports "print-marker.exe" exited with code 255. The test checks both lines: the in-process launcher prints the same first line when it does not hand control back, but bun run prints the second line only for a process it spawned.
  • An earlier form of the test passed on Windows x64 before the rebase. The current form was not run on Windows: this run had no Windows machine. CI runs it.
  • It pins behavior the PR preserves. The removed code had no callers, so no test can fail before this change.
  • Linux: test/js/node/zlib/zlib.test.js and test/internal/source-lints/ pass. test/cli/install/bun-run.test.ts passes except concurrent --bun runs do not remove the node shim other scripts are using, which needs 7.5 s under the debug build in this container against its 5 s limit. It passes with a longer timeout.

no test proof · iteration 5 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/cli/install/bun-run.test.ts

Walkthrough

The Windows shim now uses a unified launch path and no longer exposes read-without-launch. The change removes selected syscall, Windows, libuv, and mimalloc declarations. It also adds a Windows test for corrupted .bunx metadata.

Changes

Windows shim launcher

Layer / File(s) Summary
Unify the launcher contract
src/install/windows-shim/bun_shim_impl.rs, src/install/windows-shim/Cargo.toml
The launcher no longer uses mode-specific result types or a caller output buffer. The read-without-launch path is removed.
Update launch and failure handling
src/install/windows-shim/bun_shim_impl.rs
Launcher failures now terminate with specific reasons. Non-standalone mode returns for shim validation fallback.
Update callers and regression coverage
src/install/windows-shim/bun_shim_impl.rs, src/install/windows-shim/main.rs, test/cli/install/bun-run.test.ts
Both callers use the unified launcher. A Windows test checks the error, stdout, and exit code for corrupted .bunx metadata.

System and FFI declaration cleanup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Remove platform API declarations
src/sys/lib.rs, src/sys/windows/mod.rs
The syscall and platform modules remove selected tags, constants, aliases, and a Windows environment-variable wrapper.
Remove library FFI declarations
src/libuv_sys/libuv.rs, src/mimalloc_sys/mimalloc.rs
The libuv bindings remove selected handle aliases, flags, and constants. The mimalloc bindings remove mi_heap_realloc.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to fcc37

No launcher behavior mismatch was found in the inspected paths. The remaining concern is limited to the Windows regression test potentially missing extra diagnostics, so merge risk is low.

Beyond the two inline nits, I traced the Windows shim launcher de-monomorphization: every LauncherMode::fail(MODE, ...) maps to the diverging fail_and_exit_with_reason the Launch arm already called, both LaunchFellThrough sites become plain return, and the MODE == Launch guards were tautologies for the surviving instantiation — control flow is preserved. Also verified Tag::name()'s NAMES table still has all 108 entries (only the unused pub const Tag values were dropped, discriminants unchanged), and grepped for remaining consumers of read_without_launch/FromBunShellContext and O::NOATIME — none.

Extended reasoning...

The two inline findings are nits (latent codegen reference with no current .classes.ts trigger; stale src/CLAUDE.md doc line). The main non-mechanical change — collapsing the Windows bunx shim's LauncherMode const generic — I traced end-to-end and it is behavior-preserving for the Launch path. Given the scale (18 files, -563 lines) and the unsafe-heavy Windows-only shim refactor, deferring rather than approving; a human sign-off is appropriate here even though nothing blocking was found.

LGTM — all four rounds of prior feedback are addressed (host_fn_this_value kept, CLAUDE.md updated, split_once/rsplit_once kept, MEMORYSTATUS provenance note moved), and this run found no further issues.

What was reviewed: the Windows shim's LauncherMode collapse is a mechanical constant-fold of the only-ever-instantiated Launch arm — every LauncherMode::fail(MODE, r) becomes the diverging fail_and_exit_with_reason(r) it already resolved to, and the two LaunchFellThrough returns become plain return. Checked that Tag discriminants are unchanged (only associated consts removed, not the NAMES table). Verified the posix::AF windows comment removal leaves the surviving INET/INET6 self-documenting via their bun_windows_sys::ws2_32 paths. Removed use lines in App.rs/ListenSocket.rs were only feeding the deleted items.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

Scheduled dead-code sweep across 18 files, net −465 lines. Deletes unused constants and wrapper functions from bun_sys, libuv_sys, uws_sys, mimalloc_sys, libdeflate_sys, lsquic_sys, bun_alloc, and collapses the Windows bunx shim's never-wired ReadWithoutLaunch mode. Adds a Windows-only test pinning the .bunx validation fallback behavior.

Prior review history

I reviewed this PR across four earlier iterations. All four findings were addressed by the author: host_fn_this_value restored (codegen template still references it), src/CLAUDE.md File method list updated, strings::split_once/rsplit_once restored (clippy.toml names them as sanctioned replacements), and the MEMORYSTATUS_PRESSURE_* provenance doc moved onto the surviving constant. All threads are resolved. The github-actions comment-cop flags were explained (all were pre-existing docs shrinking, not new comments) and resolved. CodeRabbit's assertion-ordering nit was declined with a reasonable justification (combined-object form preserves all fields in the failure diff).

Security risks

None. Pure deletion of unreferenced Rust items and a mechanical const-generic collapse. No auth, crypto, permission, or user-input parsing paths touched.

Level of scrutiny

Medium. The bulk is trivially-verifiable constant/wrapper deletion. The Windows shim change (~190 lines) is the only non-trivial piece: it removes the LauncherMode const generic and LauncherRet return enum since only Launch was ever instantiated. I traced each LauncherMode::fail(MODE, r) → fail_and_exit_with_reason(r) substitution — that's exactly what the Launch arm of fail() did. The two fall-through sites (!flags.is_valid() and empty-filename) become plain return, which try_startup_from_bun_js handles identically. In standalone mode !IS_STANDALONE is const-false so those returns are dead and the following fail_and_exit_with_reason fires as before. The added test covers the fall-through branch.

Other factors

The PR description documents cross-target verification (rust:check-all 12 targets, dev-profile check on linux/darwin/windows, standalone shim check on both Windows targets, plus fs/zlib/spawn test suites on linux). The author was responsive to every review comment. Given four prior review passes with all feedback incorporated and no new issues in this run, approval is appropriate.

LGTM — all four prior findings were addressed (host_fn_this_value kept, split_once/rsplit_once kept, CLAUDE.md updated, MEMORYSTATUS_PRESSURE provenance moved onto WARN); the only changes since my last comment are the two-line doc move in 2302b01 and a CI retrigger.

What was reviewed:

  • Windows shim launcher collapse: traced every LauncherMode::fail(MODE, ...) → fail_and_exit_with_reason and both LaunchFellThrough → bare return sites; confirmed read_without_launch/FromBunShellContext have no callers anywhere in src/.
  • us_socket_t::write_fd Windows stub removal: both callers (uws_sys/socket.rs:396, runtime/ipc.rs:1760) are already #[cfg(not(windows))].
  • Removed GetEnvironmentVariableW wrapper and translate_ntstatus_to_errno alias: remaining call sites go through kernel32_2:: / translate_nt_status_to_errno directly.
  • Tag::WriteFile/SetEndOfFile/etc.: only the named constants are removed; discriminants and the NAMES table are unchanged (the io::Tag::WriteFile/PollableTag::WriteFile hits are a different type).
Extended reasoning...

Overview

Scheduled dead-code sweep: -465 net lines across 18 files. The bulk is deletion of unused pub const values (open flags, kqueue/inotify/epoll flags, libuv constants), unused safe-wrapper methods in FFI crates (bun_uws_sys, bun_mimalloc_sys, bun_libdeflate_sys, bun_lsquic_sys, bun_alloc), and unused bun_sys functions (dup2, File::write, several Windows helpers). The one non-trivial change is the Windows bunx shim: read_without_launch and its supporting FromBunShellContext/ReadWithoutLaunchResult types are removed (no callers), which lets the LauncherMode const generic and LauncherRet enum collapse — launcher now returns () and every LauncherMode::fail(Launch, r) becomes the fail_and_exit_with_reason(r) call the Launch arm already made. A new Windows-only test in bun-run.test.ts pins the one branch this rewrites (validation-failure fall-through to the .exe shim).

Security risks

None identified. The Windows shim touches process spawning, but the change is a mechanical collapse of a compile-time const generic to its only instantiation — no new inputs, no changed validation, no changed CreateProcessW arguments. The removed ReadWithoutLaunch mode never reached spawn (it early-returned the assembled command line). Deleted constants and safe wrappers cannot introduce new attack surface.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate. Pure constant/wrapper deletions are self-verifying via cargo check (the PR ran rust:check-all across 12 targets plus debug/release/codegen-embed configs plus the standalone shim build on both Windows arches). The shim refactor is the only piece needing line-by-line reading; I traced each of the ~15 LauncherMode::fail / return LauncherRet::* sites against the Launch arm of the removed match and confirmed the !IS_STANDALONE fall-through returns and the MODE == Launch guards on direct_launch_with_bun_js / stdio-restore are correctly unconditional now.

Other factors

This is my fourth pass on this PR. The three prior passes surfaced (1) host_fn_this_value still referenced by generate-classes.ts, (2) src/CLAUDE.md doc drift for File::write, (3) clippy.toml disallowed-methods hints pointing at split_once/rsplit_once, and (4) the MEMORYSTATUS_PRESSURE_* provenance comment being deleted with NORMAL. All four were addressed (three by keeping the item, one by updating docs), and every thread on the PR — including comment-cop and CodeRabbit — is resolved. The only commits since my last review are the doc-comment move I requested (2302b01) and a CI retrigger. Grep confirmed read_without_launch/FromBunShellContext/ReadWithoutLaunchResult have zero references, both write_fd callers are #[cfg(not(windows))], and the removed Tag constants / GetEnvironmentVariableW wrapper / translate_ntstatus_to_errno alias have no remaining consumers (surviving hits are different types or the underlying raw extern).

CI status: two runs, 180 of 181 jobs green in each. The one red job each time is unrelated to this diff.

  • Build 103984: test/js/bun/s3/s3.test.ts on Windows 11 aarch64 failed with S3Error: ServiceUnavailable from Cloudflare R2.
  • Build 104005 (retrigger): the darwin aarch64 test-bun job hit its time limit. test-dev-peer-dependency-priority.test.ts and next-pages/dev-server-ssr-100.test.ts timed out inside bun install, and several other files on that agent needed 2 to 3 retries.

This PR changes no S3, install or network code. Its runtime effect is limited to the Windows bunx shim, whose tests pass on both runs. Both failures are reported to main-break triage. Ready for review.

…sc JSC bindings (#40413)

### Problem
- Four Rust host exports have no C++ caller:
`Bun__WebSocketClient__writeBlob`, `Bun__WebSocketClientTLS__writeBlob`,
`Bun__WebSocketClientTLS__initWithTunnel`, and
`Bun__internal_drainTimers`. `WebSocket.cpp` converts a Blob to bytes
itself and calls `writeBinaryData`, and the tunnel path only creates the
non-TLS client. The `HOST_EXPORT` marker roots each of them, so neither
rustc nor hawk can see that they are dead.
- A handful of C++ methods are declared and defined but never called:
`HTTPParser::lessThan`, one `JSNodePerformanceHooksHistogram::create`
overload, `JSAbortAlgorithm::callbackData` and `toJS(AbortAlgorithm&)`,
`JSPerformance::toWrapped`, `JSCStackFrame::typeName`,
`root(CryptoKey*)`, the `String` overload of `throwNodeRangeError`, and
16 ncrypto helpers.
- Two `pub` Rust items have no caller in any crate:
`bun_base64::simdutf_encode_url_safe_alloc` and
`CowSliceZ::init_unchecked`.

### Fix
- Delete the items above. `WebSocketClient::write_blob` goes with its
exports. `encode_append_impl` folds into `encode_append`, its only
remaining caller. The ncrypto `Ec` class keeps its one live member,
`GetCurveIdFromName`.
- Every deletion is confirmed two ways: `rg` over `src/`,
`build/debug/codegen/`, `src/codegen/`, `packages/`, and `vendor/WebKit`
finds no reference, and a `bun-debug` relink with `--gc-sections
--print-gc-sections` discards each symbol. `host_fn_this_value` and
`root(MessagePort*)` looked the same way and stay: codegen emits the
first, and #39841 is editing `MessagePort.cpp`, so the second waits for
that fix to land.
- New source lint
`test/internal/source-lints/host-export-callers.test.ts`: every
`c`/`jsc` `HOST_EXPORT` marker must be named by a C or C++ source. It
fails on main with exactly the four exports above and passes here.
- Verified: `bun bd` builds, `bun run rust:check-all` passes on all 12
targets, `clang-format` and `cargo fmt` are clean. Ran
`test/js/web/websocket/` (blob, client, bidir proxy),
`test/js/node/crypto/` (crypto, ecdh, hmac, sign, x509), `node-http`,
`node-http-parser`, `perf_hooks`, and `abort`.

### Background
- `// HOST_EXPORT(Name, c)` marks a Rust fn that
`src/codegen/generate-host-exports.ts` wraps in an `extern "C"` thunk
for C++. The thunk exists whether or not C++ calls it, so an orphaned
export compiles without a warning.
- ncrypto (`src/jsc/bindings/ncrypto.{cpp,h}`) is Bun's copy of Node's
OpenSSL helper layer. Node still uses the removed helpers; Bun's callers
never did.
- The linker check: a debug link with `-Wl,--gc-sections
-Wl,--print-gc-sections` lists every function section nothing
references. A function that is discarded and also absent from the linked
binary has no caller on that platform. Platform-gated code then needs a
source check, which is why the darwin-only `Bun__noOrphans_*` and the
Windows-only `windowsEnv` builtin stay.

Scan summary for this run. Areas: Rust in `src/runtime`, `src/http_jsc`,
`src/bun_core`, `src/base64`, `src/ptr`, and the JSC bindings outside
the files that open dead-code PRs (#39929, #40232, #40367, #40294,
#40172, #40122) already touch; the TS builtins in `src/js`.

- hawk over `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`, `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`,
`aarch64-apple-darwin` (release profile, per `hawk.toml`): 847
`dead_public` findings. 668 are fields of FFI mirror structs
(`libuv.rs`, `windows_sys/externs.rs`, `boringssl.rs`). Most of the rest
are in files the open PRs own, are debug-only (`has_resolve_breakpoint`,
`StoredTrace::capture`, `ArrayHashMap::unlock_pointers`), are codegen
targets (`host_fn_this_value`), or are FFI enum mirrors
(`tty::Mode::Io`, `ImplementationVisibility`).
- oxlint with `no-unused-vars`, `no-unused-private-class-members`,
`no-unreachable` over `src/js`: 0 findings. No `src/js` file is
unimported. No `.rs` file is outside a `mod` tree except the three
`[[bench]]` targets.
- `--gc-sections` relink of `bun-debug`: 1005 non-generated discarded
symbols, 283 of them in files no open PR touches. After removing
sqlite3.c, llhttp, vendored shims, platform-gated code, and generated
`ZigGeneratedClasses` helpers, the list above is what remains.

Possibly dead, left alone:

- `bun_core::strings::split_once` / `rsplit_once`: no caller today, but
`clippy.toml` names them as the replacement for the denied
`str::split_once` / `bstr::split_once_str` forms. Kept as API surface.

- `src/jsc/bindings/webcore/streams/JSCrossRealmTransformState.{cpp,h}`
(135 lines): the `CrossRealm` source and sink kinds in
`StreamsForward.h` are never constructed. It reads as scaffolding for
stream transfer in the native streams work, so it stays.
- `ECDSASigPointer`, `ECGroupPointer`, `ECPointPointer`,
`HMACCtxPointer`: default constructor, move constructor, and `release()`
are unreferenced, but they are the smart-pointer idiom the rest of
ncrypto follows.
- `src/threading/Futex.rs` `wasm_impl` and `unsupported_impl`: no
shipped target compiles them.
- `bun_core::Global::StoredTrace::{EMPTY, capture}`,
`has_resolve_breakpoint`, `ArrayHashMap::unlock_pointers`,
`TaskTag::name`: release-dead, used under `debug_assertions`.

### Problem
- The workspace denies `dead_code` and `unreachable_pub`, and earlier
sweeps removed the `pub` items a cross-crate analysis can see. What is
left is code no lint reports: branches behind constant conditions, `pub`
enum variants that nothing constructs, `pub` struct fields that nothing
reads, and commented-out code.
- The largest case is the js lexer: `LexerType` carried seven const
generic parameters for a JSON mode (`IS_JSON`, `ALLOW_COMMENTS`, ...)
that no caller ever set. The only instantiation is the default one, so
every `if IS_JSON` body in `src/js_parser/lexer.rs` was unreachable.
JSON is parsed by `src/parsers/json.rs`.

### Fix
- Delete the items. 83 source files, +221 / -1653. Every candidate was
checked with `rg` over `src/`, `build/debug/codegen/` and
`src/codegen/`, including `#[cfg(windows)]` and macOS paths. The Notes
list each one.
- The lexer becomes a plain `struct Lexer<'a>`: the `JsonOptionsT`
trait, the `NewLexer` alias, the `lexer_impl_header!` macro and the
`generic_const_exprs` feature gate go with the JSON branches. The only
JS-visible change is none: the default instantiation was the only one.
- `bun_runtime::Error` loses 85 unit variants that are never built (the
X509 codes live in `bun_http::CertError`; `InstallFailed` and friends
are only ever nested as `Error::Install(..)`). The `AllocatorVTable`
keeps only `free`, the one slot `StdAllocator` dispatches.
- New source lint
`test/internal/source-lints/literal-bool-condition.test.ts`: a
statement-level `if true {` / `if false {` outside `#[cfg(test)]` code
fails the lint. rustc and clippy accept both, so the dead `if false {
break 'outer; }` in `doStep5.rs` and the always-taken `if true {` block
in `Watcher.rs` (unwrapped here) had no other guard. The lint fails on
`main` with those two lines and passes with this PR.
- Verified: `bun bd`, `bun run rust:check-all` (12 targets), `cargo
clippy --workspace`, `cargo check --workspace --tests`, `cargo fmt
--check`. `bun bd test` on transpiler, bundler edge cases, shell, yaml,
zstd, transpiler cache, `Bun.write`, `Bun.file`, sourcemap, resolver
cache, WebSocket client, `bun add`/`bun remove`, lockfile sync, archive,
`bun:test`, `--watch`, and the source lints (about 2,700 tests, 0
failures attributable to this change; see Notes).

### Background
- `dead_code` does not report a `pub` item, a trait impl, an enum
variant that a `match` arm names, or a field that a compound assignment
(`+=`) touches. Each of those counts as a use to rustc even when nothing
reads the result.
- A `const bool` that is the same in every build (`const ALLOW_TMPFILE:
bool = false`, a trait const no impl overrides, a const generic no
caller sets) makes one side of its `if` unreachable, but rustc still
type-checks and keeps that side. The removed branches are all of this
kind. Flags that vary per build (`IS_WINDOWS`, `IS_DEBUG`,
`ENABLE_ASAN`) and the debug toggles (`TRACING`, `VERBOSE_FS`-style
logging switches that still have a body) were left alone.
- `BunBuiltinNames.h` entries and JS private names can be referenced by
string (`$getByIdDirectPrivate(this, "writer")`), so a name with no
`$name` hit is not dead. Two such candidates were checked and kept.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

Removed, constant conditions:

- `src/js_parser/lexer.rs`: the 7 const generic parameters of
`LexerType`, the `JsonOptionsT` trait, `DefaultJsonOptions`, the
`NewLexer` alias and the `lexer_impl_header!` macro. 30 `if IS_JSON`
bodies, `assert_not_json` and its 13 calls, the `is_ascii_only` field
(only written in JSON mode), `Error::JSONStringsMustUseDoubleQuotes`,
and the `if !FeatureFlags::ALLOW_JSON_SINGLE_QUOTES` block.
`src/js_parser/lib.rs` drops `#![feature(adt_const_params,
generic_const_exprs)]`, which nothing else in the crate used.
- `src/bun_core/feature_flags.rs`: `ENABLE_ENTRY_CACHE` (always true:
the "cache disabled" tails of `read_directory_error` and
`read_directory_with_iterator` in `src/resolver/lib.rs`), `VERBOSE_FS`
(always false: two `prettyln!` blocks in `src/resolver/fs.rs` and the
`bstr::BStr` import), `HARDCODE_LOCALHOST_TO_127_0_0_1` (always false:
the rewrite in `HTTPContext::connect` and `WebSocketUpgradeClient`),
`ALLOW_JSON_SINGLE_QUOTES` (only read by the lexer JSON mode).
- `src/sys/tmp.rs`: `ALLOW_TMPFILE = false` with the `O_TMPFILE` open
and `linkat` paths and the `using_tmpfile` field.
`RuntimeTranspilerCache.rs` always unlinks the tmp name on failure now,
which is what the `!using_tmpfile` guard already did. The non-Linux
`O::TMPFILE` consts and `linkat_tmpfile` stubs in `src/sys/lib.rs` had
no other caller (`src/install/npm.rs` uses them under `cfg(linux)`).
- `src/libarchive/lib.rs`: `ArchiveAppender::HAS_APPEND_MUTABLE`, no
impl overrides the `false` default. With it: `append_mutable`, the `if
A::HAS_APPEND_MUTABLE` block, `Context::all_files`, `EntryMap`,
`U64Context` and its two impls, and the `all_files` initializer in
`create_command.rs`.
- `src/bundler/linker_context/doStep5.rs`: `if false { break 'outer; }`
and the label. `src/watcher/Watcher.rs`: an `if true {` block around the
"Added to watch list" log, unwrapped.
- `src/io/PipeWriter.rs`: `PosixStreamingWriterParent::HAS_ON_READY`,
set by both impls (the macro and `Terminal.rs`), read by nothing.

Removed, enum variants nothing constructs (each with its `name()` arm
and match arms):

- `bun_runtime::Error` (`src/runtime/error.rs`): `Panic`,
`RequestBodyNotReusable`, `DNSResolveFailed`, `TooManyRedirects`,
`ConnectionRefused`, `RedirectURLInvalid`, the 66 X509 verification
codes from `UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT` to
`UNKNOWN_CERTIFICATE_VERIFICATION_ERROR`, `InstallFailed`,
`InvalidPackageJSON`, `PathAlreadyExists`, `InvalidTarget`,
`OpenFailed`, `UnableToDecode`, `SocketClosed`, `StackOverflow`, `Test`,
`MissingTranspileExtra`, `PluginError`, `Name`, `EscapeCalledTwice`. The
or-patterns in `install_command.rs`, `pm_update_package_json.rs` and
`jsc_hooks.rs` keep their live alternatives.
- `bun_core::strings::BOM::{Utf16Be, Utf32Le, Utf32Be}`: `detect()` only
returns `Utf8` and `Utf16Le`. With them: the three byte-pattern consts,
the `_ =>` arms in the two `remove_and_convert_*` functions, and the
commented-out detection lines.
- `bun_shell_parser`: `Token::{Dollar, Eq}` and `TokenTag::{Dollar, Eq}`
(the lexer never pushes them), with the `TestToken` mirrors and JSON
arms in `src/runtime/shell/shell_body.rs`.
- `ShellErr::Todo` (`shell_body.rs`, `Builtin.rs`),
`bun_crash_handler::Error::InvalidDebugInfo` (patterns in
`crash_handler/lib.rs` and `jsc/btjs.rs`) and the
`bun_jsc::Error::InvalidDebugInfo` mirror,
`FetchFlags::PrintSourceAndClone` (`ModuleLoader.rs`, arm in
`jsc_hooks.rs`), yaml `ParseError::InvalidIndentation` and the
`ParseResultError::InvalidIndentation` it alone produced,
`bun_sourcemap::Error::Unknown`.

Removed, fields nothing reads:

- `AllocatorVTable::{alloc, resize, remap}` (`src/bun_alloc/lib.rs`):
only `free` is ever dispatched. With them:
`NO_ALLOC`/`NO_RESIZE`/`NO_REMAP`, `MimallocAllocator` and its four
functions in `basic.rs`, `default_alloc::{malloc_aligned,
realloc_aligned}` and `Alignment::to_byte_units`.
- `ArgumentsSlice::all` (`src/jsc/CallFrame.rs`),
`ParseTask::tree_shaking` (`src/bundler/ParseTask.rs`, 11 writers in
`bundle_v2.rs`; the parser reads `topts.tree_shaking`),
`JSMeta::entry_point_part_index` (`LinkerGraph.rs`, written in
`scanImportsAndExports.rs`), `NetworkSink::high_water_mark`
(`streams.rs`, `s3/client.rs`, with the `part_size` locals that fed it),
`CopyFile::read_off`, the POSIX `ReadFile::byte_store`,
`file_sink::Options::close`, `ZstdReaderArrayList::total_out`,
`Cloner::trees_count`.

Removed, commented-out code older than six months (blame on the line, or
on the Zig line the port copied):

- C++: `ImportMetaObject.cpp`, `InspectorHTTPServerAgent.cpp`,
`JSDOMExceptionHandling.cpp`, `ncrypto.cpp`, `KeyObject.cpp`,
`EventTarget.cpp`, `JSPerformanceEntryCustom.cpp`, `MessageEvent.h`
(plus a duplicate `#include "MessagePort.h"`), `Performance.cpp`,
`Performance.h`, `PerformanceEntry.cpp`, `PerformanceObserver.cpp`,
`PerformanceResourceTiming.cpp`, `WebSocket.cpp`.
- Rust: `AstBuilder.rs`, `postProcessCSSChunk.rs`,
`postProcessJSChunk.rs`, `crash_handler/lib.rs`, `css/declaration.rs`,
`css/selectors/selector.rs`, `css/values/percentage.rs`,
`WebSocketUpgradeClient.rs`, `lexer.rs`, `parse_fn.rs`, `visit_expr.rs`,
`paths/resolve_path.rs`, `exec_command.rs`, `braces.rs`,
`sha_hmac/sha.rs`, `StaticHashMap.rs`, `ffi_body.rs`.
- `.classes.ts`: disabled entries in `sql.classes.ts`,
`sockets.classes.ts`, `server.classes.ts`, `jest.classes.ts`; a leftover
loop in `generate_uv_posix_stubs.ts`.

Declaration-only C++:
`CryptoKeyOKP::platformExportSpki/platformExportPkcs8`,
`JSX509Certificate::getPublicKey`, `KeyPairJobCtx::deinit`,
`BunShell`/`ShellError` in `BunObject.h`.

Checked and kept: `Terminal::get_slave_fd` (used by
`js_bun_spawn_bindings.rs`), `macro(writer)` and `macro(mockedFunction)`
in `BunBuiltinNames.h` (`$getByIdDirectPrivate(this, "writer")` in
`ConsoleObject.ts`, `BunCommonStrings.h`), css `Segment::Name` and
`CssModuleExport::is_referenced` (lightningcss data model), the
react_compiler variants and fields that mirror the upstream schema,
`Mode::ProductionDynamic` (bake scaffolding), the MySQL protocol fields
that mirror the wire format, the debug toggles `LOG_ALLOCATIONS`,
`DISABLE_COMPRESSION_IN_HTTP_CLIENT`, crash handler `ENABLE`,
`ENABLE_AUTO_CORK`/`ENABLE_ALLOCATOR_POOL`, and the wasm scaffolding
behind `IS_WASM`/`IS_BROWSER`.

Test runs: `test/js/web/fetch/fetch.test.ts` fails the same 26 tests
with the released `bun` in this container (root user, no network).
`Bun.write > copyFileRange is not available > on large files` hits its 5
s timeout under the ASAN debug build while filling a 256 MB buffer in
JS; the copy itself takes 0.6 s and the hash matches.

This PR repeats no deletion of the open dead-code PRs (#39929, #40122,
#40172, #40232, #40294, #40367, #40492, #40525, #40557), checked by
diffing the removed lines. Three files are shared with them in other

Thanks — the four points from the earlier pass are all addressed: the host_fn_this_value and strings::split_once deletions were dropped from the PR, src/CLAUDE.md no longer lists File::write, and the MEMORYSTATUS_PRESSURE_* provenance comment now stays on WARN. I re-reviewed the current diff and found no new issues; a human look at the bun_shim_impl.rs LauncherMode collapse would still be worthwhile given it's ~200 lines of Windows-only unsafe control flow whose only coverage is the new it.if(isWindows) test.

What was reviewed:

  • Traced every LauncherMode::fail(MODE, …) → fail_and_exit_with_reason(…) site — fail_and_exit_with_reason is -&gt; !, so control flow matches the old Launch arm; the two LaunchFellThrough sites become plain return, matching try_startup_from_bun_js's prior handling.
  • Grepped for callers of every deleted public item (read_without_launch, FromBunShellContext, dup2, O::NOATIME/DSYNC/SYMLINK/NOFOLLOW_ANY, Tag::is_windows, GetEnvironmentVariableW wrapper, translate_ntstatus_to_errno alias, Heap::malloc/calloc/realloc, malloc_zone_calloc, uws open/pair/listen/run/fd/quic close, libdeflate destroy) — none remain.
  • Confirmed the NewApp alias removed from App.rs was a duplicate; the re-export at src/uws_sys/lib.rs:499 still serves the many uws_sys::NewApp callers in runtime/server/.

Overview

This PR is a dead-code sweep across the *_sys FFI crates and bun_sys, plus a structural simplification of the Windows .bunx shim launcher. The bulk (~470 of 569 deleted lines) is unused pub consts, extern declarations, and thin wrapper methods with no in-tree callers. The remaining ~200 lines collapse bun_shim_impl.rs's launcher&lt;const MODE: LauncherMode, Ctx&gt; const-generic into a single-mode launcher&lt;Ctx&gt; by deleting the never-called ReadWithoutLaunch instantiation (read_without_launch, FromBunShellContext, ReadWithoutLaunchResult, LauncherRet, the adt_const_params nightly feature). A Windows-only regression test is added for the in-process-validation-fails → fall-back-to-shim-exe path. Since the previous review, the PR scope shrank (the host_fn.rs and string/immutable.rs deletions that prompted earlier comments were reverted) and the remaining two nits were fixed in follow-up commits.

Security risks

None identified. The deletions are unused constants, extern decls, and wrapper functions; no validation, auth, crypto, or input-handling logic is weakened. The shim refactor removes a code path that was already unreachable from any caller and does not touch the buffer-bounds arithmetic or NT syscall sequencing in the surviving Launch path. The removed #!&#91;feature(adt_const_params)] and incomplete_features allow are a net reduction in nightly surface.

Level of scrutiny

Medium. Constant/wrapper deletions are mechanical and I verified each by grepping for remaining references (including cfg-gated code). The bun_shim_impl.rs change deserves closer attention: it rewrites control flow inside a large unsafe-heavy function that manipulates raw *mut u16 buffers and PEB/TEB pointers, is compiled twice (standalone no_std PE and as a bun_install module), and its only test is gated it.if(isWindows). I traced each of the ~15 MODE.fail(…) rewrites against fail_and_exit_with_reason's -&gt; ! signature and the two fall-through return sites against the old LaunchFellThrough handling — they are equivalent for the Launch path — but I cannot execute the Windows test here, and a #[cfg]-gated regression would not surface on non-Windows CI lanes.

Other factors

All four inline comments from the earlier review round are now addressed (two by dropping the offending deletions from the PR, two by follow-up edits). No third-party CHANGES_REQUESTED reviews are outstanding. The one open design question — whether read_without_launch was intentionally-staged API for the Bun shell's fast path rather than truly dead — is a maintainer call, not a correctness bug, and REVIEW.md's dead-code policy favors deletion. Given the Windows-only unsafe surface and the bot authorship, deferring for a human Windows-aware pass is the conservative choice over auto-approval.

…llections, and three JS builtins (#42069)

### Problem
- 25 dead-code PRs are already open, so a name grep finds little that is
unclaimed. This run used the compiler instead: demote each `pub` item to
`pub(crate)` and let rustc's `dead_code` lint say what nothing uses.
- What survived that check on all nine CI target triples, and is not
already in an open PR, is the list below.

### Fix
- `bun_runtime::Error`: remove 14 variants that nothing constructs
(`FmtError`, `ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID`, `ConnectionClosed`,
`MissingCredentials`, `InvalidMethod`, `InvalidEndpoint`,
`InvalidSessionToken`, `SignError`, `MissingPackageJSON`,
`MissingEntryPoint`, `lcovCoverageError`, `CompilationFailed`,
`JSErrorObject`, `Unsupported`), their `name()` arms, the two match arms
that tested for them (`cli/mod.rs`, `jsc_hooks.rs`), and a
`cfg(not(macos))` block inside a `cfg(macos)` function in
`webview/HostProcess.rs`.
- `bun_jsc`: remove `CrateError::JSErrorObject` (its only producer was
the arm above) and the three never-called `HotReloadTaskView` methods.
The trait stays as the type-erasure marker that `HotReloaderCtx::reload`
takes.
- `bun_collections`: `StringHashMap::values_mut` has no caller in any
crate.
- JS builtins: a 23-line commented-out `fileURLToPath` in `node/url.ts`
(unchanged since 2025-01), the unused `format` / `formatWithOptions`
getters in `internal/repl/node-inspect.js`, and the unused
`reportUncaughtException` export in `internal/shared.ts`.
- Verified: `cargo check --workspace` on all nine triples from
`rust:check-all`, `bun bd`, then `repl.test.ts`,
`readline.node.test.ts`, `hot.test.ts`, `watch.test.ts`, and the
`node/url` tests.

### Background
- The workspace denies `dead_code` and `unreachable_pub`, so rustc
already rejects unused private items. The blind spot is a `pub` item
that is reachable from its crate root but that no other crate imports.
Demoting it to `pub(crate)` puts it back under the lint.
- A demoted inherent method can silently lose to a trait method of the
same name in other crates (`Blob::finalize` against the blanket
`JsFinalize`, `__IsFreeze::IS_FREEZE` against `__NotFreeze`). rustc then
reports the inherent item as dead while behavior changed. Every method
hit was checked for a same-named path in other crates and those were
left alone.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

- Scope: 87 Rust crates (everything under `src/` except the proc-macro
crates), `src/js`, the C++ `extern "C"` definitions in
`src/jsc/bindings`, `Cargo.toml` dependencies, and orphan `.rs` files
(via cargo dep-info). No unused dependencies and no orphan files were
found.
- Found dead but already removed by an open PR, so not repeated here:
the `bindgen.rs` marker structs and `ExportRenamer` (#40915, #40557),
the `uws_sys`/`mimalloc_sys`/`lsquic_sys` externs (#40172),
`has_termination_request`, `clear_exception`, `from_typed_array`,
`INTERNAL_MODULE_REGISTRY_FLAG`, and the 20 orphaned C++ `extern "C"`
functions (#40232).
- Probably dead, left out of the diff: 119 never-constructed `Feature`
variants in `src/css/prefixes.rs` (the file is generated by
`build-prefixes.js`), the never-constructed
`bake::Mode::ProductionDynamic`, and several struct fields rustc reports
as never read that exist to own an allocation (`JSTranspiler::arena`,
`CurrentBundle::{bv2, heap, ast_alloc_state}`).
- rustc's lint misreports inherent associated types
(`ThreadPool::Worker`, `EntryPoint::Kind`) as unused. They are used and
were kept.
- `bun_core::strings::split_once` (the multi-byte variant) has no
caller, but `clippy.toml` names it as the replacement for
`str::split_once` and `bstr`'s `split_once_str`, so it stays.

…imalloc_sys

The Windows bunx shim launcher had a ReadWithoutLaunch mode for a shell
fast path that nothing calls. Remove read_without_launch,
FromBunShellContext and ReadWithoutLaunchResult, and collapse the
LauncherMode const generic and LauncherRet into the one remaining Launch
mode. The standalone shim binary no longer needs adt_const_params.

bun_sys: unused O, EPOLL, IN, EVFILT, EV, NOTE, RTLD, AF and linux::E
constants, Tag::WriteFile, Tag::SetEndOfFile, posix::R_OK, and the
Windows GetEnvironmentVariableW wrapper with its error enum, the Error
alias, two console mode constants and ExceptionContinueExecution.

libuv_sys: unused O flags, UV_DIRENT_*, UV__* error codes, signal
numbers and misc flag constants. mimalloc_sys: the mi_heap_realloc
declaration.

A Windows test pins the launcher branch this rewrites: a .bunx whose
flags fail validation makes bun.exe fall back to the shim executable.

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

Beyond the inline nit on the test, I also checked the launcher collapse in src/install/windows-shim/bun_shim_impl.rs for behavior drift: every former LauncherMode::fail(MODE, ..) site was already fail_and_exit_with_reason in the Launch arm, the two fall-through returns keep the !IS_STANDALONE polarity, and the stdio-restore block was already Launch-gated, so making it unconditional under the cfg changes nothing. The MEMORYSTATUS_PRESSURE_* provenance comment is now retained on the surviving constants.

Extended reasoning...

This push narrows the PR to the Windows bunx shim launcher refactor plus constant/declaration deletions in bun_sys, libuv_sys, mimalloc_sys and the Windows sys module, with one new Windows-only test; no security-sensitive surface is touched. The remaining inline finding is a nit about what the test can actually pin, and the core refactor reads as behavior-preserving for the Launch path, but the touched code is Windows-only and cfg-gated so it cannot be compiled or run here.

… fallback test

Both paths print the same error and exit 255. Only bun run reports the
exit code of a process it spawned, so the test now checks that line too.

Rebased onto current main and narrowed. The branch is now one commit plus a test commit (head fcc3766).

Why the diff got smaller

How the open PRs were checked

For each of the 1182 open PRs (of the newest 2000) that change src/**/*.rs, I searched the lines the PR adds for every name this PR removes. The three PRs above other than #44937 came from that search. The other hits name a different item or are lines main already has.

Verification on the rebased branch

  • cargo check --workspace with --cfg bun_debug for x86_64-linux, aarch64-darwin, x86_64-windows and aarch64-windows, and --release --cfg bun_codegen_embed for the first three.
  • bun run rust:check-all: 12 ok.
  • The standalone shim (-p bun_shim_impl --bin bun-shim-impl --features shim_standalone) for both windows targets.
  • This branch merged with shell(touch): let the OS pick the time so that write access is enough #44937 compiles for both windows targets. The same merge without the Windows UTIME_NOW fails with two E0425 errors in src/sys/lib.rs.
  • bun bd on linux.

One semantic conflict came with the rebase: #44968 added a LauncherMode::fail(MODE, FailReason::BatchFileArgument) call to the shim launcher. It is now fail_and_exit_with_reason(FailReason::BatchFileArgument) like the other sites.

I could not run the Windows test in this session. The Windows lanes cover it.

LGTM — the launcher collapse is mechanical (every LauncherMode::fail site becomes the diverging fail_and_exit_with_reason, the two non-standalone validation sites keep their bare-return fallback, and the NtClose(metadata_handle)-before-exit ordering is preserved), and the latest commit addresses the earlier stderr-assertion nit. The one remaining inline comment is a test-coverage nit, not a blocker.

Extended reasoning...

The range deletes the unused ReadWithoutLaunch mode from the Windows bunx shim launcher (src/install/windows-shim/bun_shim_impl.rs, main.rs, Cargo.toml), removes unused constants and wrappers from src/libuv_sys/libuv.rs, src/sys/lib.rs, src/sys/windows/mod.rs and src/mimalloc_sys/mimalloc.rs, and adds a Windows-only regression test in test/cli/install/bun-run.test.ts. It touches no auth, crypto or input-parsing surface; the shim change is a pure removal of one const-generic instantiation. I grep-checked the cfg-gated consumers of the removed items: path_watcher.rs uses freebsd::{EVFILT::VNODE, NOTE::WRITE/DELETE/...} which survive, posix_event_loop.rs uses darwin::EV::ERROR which survives, fs_events.rs uses the unix RTLD::LOCAL (only the Windows stub was removed), Futex.rs uses only surviving linux::E variants, types.rs resolves UV_DIRENT_* to the explicit definitions in libuv_sys/lib.rs that shadowed the deleted glob duplicates, and Tag::name's index table still carries the WriteFile/SetEndOfFile slots so discriminants do not shift. No CODEOWNERS entry covers the changed files and no outstanding non-bot objection is open; the only remaining finding is a minor test-coverage nit.

🟡 nit (optional): the new test pins only one of the two fall-through sites this PR rewrote, so a regression at the missing-quote site would ship unnoticed. bun_shim_impl.rs:1155 hands control back to bun run when the filename's trailing " is missing, exactly like the flags site at bun_shim_impl.rs:924 that the test corrupts. Fix: cover both sites, e.g. a test.each second case that flips the " byte at offset getUint32(byteLength - 10, true) of the .bunx and asserts the same shim line and exited with code 255 trailer. The bounds check at bun_shim_impl.rs:1041-1047 still passes because no length changes.

Why this was flagged

The .bunx layout written by BinLinkingShim.rs:397-452 is bin_path, ", NUL, launcher text, space, u32 bin_path_len_bytes, u32 args_len_bytes, u16 flags. For the test's #!/usr/bin/env node bin has_shebang is set, so launcher reads the two u32s at bun_shim_impl.rs:1012-1018, passes the bounds check at 1041-1047 when only the quote byte is altered, and at 1153-1155 returns to bun run when filename_u16 does not end with ". The test at test/cli/install/bun-run.test.ts:1312-1316 only flips the top bit of the flags byte, which takes the return at bun_shim_impl.rs:924, so the 1155 site is never exercised. If a later edit turns 1155 into fail_and_exit_with_reason, an assertion build hits the panic at bun_shim_impl.rs:277-280 and a release build prints the error in-process with no bun run trailer, and this test stays green either way. The byte to corrupt is bytes[getUint32(bytes.byteLength - 10, true)], the 0x22 quote after the bin path.

Verification: nit. Triggering condition: a future edit regresses the missing-trailing-quote fall-through (bun_shim_impl.rs:1153-1158) without touching the flags site; the new test stays green. The new test at test/cli/install/bun-run.test.ts:1316 does only bytes[bytes.byteLength - 1] ^= 0x80, i.e. it corrupts the flags word and exercises only the :924 site; nothing in the test reaches :1155.
