Problem

  • packages/bun-inspector-protocol/src/protocol/v8/ holds 32,610 lines of generated V8 devtools protocol types and JSON. Nothing imports them: src/protocol/index.d.ts exports only JSC, and no file in the repo references protocol/v8 or the V8 namespace. The files were last regenerated in January 2024.
  • About 830 lines of Rust, C++, and TS are unreachable: pub items that no crate uses (rustc's dead_code lint cannot see across crates), FFI exports with no C++ caller, cfg(not(windows)) stubs inside modules that are only mounted under cfg(windows), wasm32 branches (Bun has no wasm target), and C++ blocks behind macros that nothing defines.

Fix

  • Delete the V8 protocol pair and the --v8 path of scripts/generate-protocol.ts that produced it.
  • Delete the dead Rust, C++, and TS items listed below. Where a generic existed only to serve dead instantiations (JSBigInt::order<T>), it now takes the one type that is used (i64).
  • Flatten the Windows named pipe modules: they are mounted under #[cfg(windows)] in socket/mod.rs, so every #[cfg(not(windows))] arm inside them was never compiled, and every inner #[cfg(windows)] attribute was redundant.
  • Verified: rg -w for each symbol across src/, packages/, scripts/, and build/debug/codegen/ returns only the definition. bun bd builds. bun run rust:check-all passes on all 12 targets. test/cli/inspect/bun-inspector-protocol.test.ts, test/bundler/bundler_splitting.test.ts, test/cli/install/bun-lockb.test.ts, the node test-fs-read*-position-validation tests, test/js/bun/test/{test-test,describe}.test.ts, and the blob and timer tests pass.

Background

  • The workspace denies dead_code and unreachable_pub, so an unused item survives only when it is pub and reachable from a crate root, or when it is an FFI root (#[no_mangle], // HOST_EXPORT(). This sweep checked those two classes by hand.
  • generated_host_exports.rs is scraped from // HOST_EXPORT( markers at build time, so removing get_verbose_fetch_value together with its marker removes the export cleanly.
Removed symbols

packages/bun-inspector-protocol

  • src/protocol/v8/index.d.ts, src/protocol/v8/protocol.json (32,610 lines): not exported by src/protocol/index.d.ts, no importer.
  • scripts/generate-protocol.ts: downloadV8, download<V>, includeV8, the --v8 write block. .gitignore: the stale protocol/v8 entry.

bun_js_printer

bun_jsc / bun_jsc_macros / C++ bindings

  • DeprecatedStrong::unref and the enable_safety! macro whose only use was a const _ that existed to silence its own unused warning.
  • URLJsc::from_js, the URL__fromJS extern and its C++ body in BunString.cpp, and Parsed::from_raw in bun_url (only from_js called it). src/CLAUDE.md updated.
  • BigIntOrderable impls for f64 and u64, the JSC__JSBigInt__orderDouble / JSC__JSBigInt__orderUint64 externs and C++ bodies. JSBigInt::order now takes i64, the only type ever passed (node_fs.rs).
  • Bun__tickWhilePaused (JSCScheduler.rs), EventLoop::tick_while_paused, and the two C++ declarations in BunDebugger.cpp. The C++ callers were removed in e194566.
  • get_verbose_fetch_value (Bun__getVerboseFetchValue host export) and its declaration in JSEnvironmentVariableMap.cpp. No C++ call site.
  • js_class_derive (#[proc_macro_derive(JsClassDerive)]): zero uses.
  • BunObject.cpp: extern "C" bool has_bun_garbage_collector_flag_enabled; (the Rust static is never read from C++). JSBuffer.cpp: #if ENABLE(MEDIA_SOURCE) includes of headers that do not exist. ScriptExecutionContext.{h,cpp}: ENABLE(MALLOC_BREAKDOWN) branches (macro defined nowhere). BunJSCEventLoop.cpp: us_internal_monotonic_ns declaration (never called).
  • headers.h: Bun__Timer__getNextID declaration, and the #[no_mangle] Rust function in runtime/timer/Timer.rs. No caller on either side.

bun_runtime

  • socket/WindowsNamedPipe.rs, socket/WindowsNamedPipeContext.rs, node/uv_signal_handle_windows.rs: all #[cfg(not(windows))] arms (open, connect stubs, () fields, false tail blocks) and the redundant inner #[cfg(windows)] attributes.
  • cli/test/parallel/Channel.rs: Channel::close (26 lines, no caller; Drop does the teardown inline).
  • webcore/Blob.rs: BlobExt::transfer. webcore/CookieMap.rs: impl Clone for CookieMapRef (never cloned).
  • dns_jsc: the InternalDNSRequest alias. valkey_jsc/mod.rs, sql_jsc/lib.rs: crate-root re-exports with no importer.

bun_install / bun_install_types

  • build.rs: the default_trusted_dependencies_list.rs generator. lockfile.rs has used include_bytes! on the text file since the Rust port, and nothing include!s the generated file.
  • Do::PRINT_META_HASH_STRING (never set, so the three || print_meta_hash_string() operands were always false) and Do::ANALYZE (set, never read; cli.analyze is read directly).
  • install_types/lib.rs: 33 crate-root re-exports nothing imports through the root. UpdateRequest.rs, lockfile/Package.rs, dependency.rs, bundler/defines.rs, bundler_jsc/lib.rs: dead re-exports.

bun_windows_sys / bun_sys / bun_core

  • GetFileAttributesExW, GET_FILEEX_INFO_LEVELS, WIN32_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DATA (and its Zeroable impl in bun_core), FILE_INFO_BY_HANDLE_CLASS, LPSTR, FILE_BEGIN, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TEMPORARY, SetStdHandle, and their re-exports in sys/windows/mod.rs.

bun_perf / bun_threading

  • system_timer.rs: the target_family = "wasm" Timer stub. Futex.rs: mod wasm_impl and the wasm32 ladder entries.

Scripts and built-ins

  • scripts/bootstrap.sh: compare_version (unused since 2024-10). packages/bun-release/scripts/upload-npm.ts: a commented-out block from 2024-04. src/js/internal/shared.ts: the reportUncaughtException export key (no importer uses it).

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

  • 🟡 src/jsc/DeprecatedStrong.rs — nit: SafetyData.ref_count is now dead — after removing unref() (and with no ref() method), it is initialized to 1 in init() and only ever asserted == 1 in Drop; per REVIEW.md the field should be deleted in the same PR that removes its last mutator

    Extended reasoning...

    No user-visible failure relative to base; this is dead-code cleanup left incomplete. The ref_count: u32 field and its debug_assert!(ref_count == 1) add an unused word to every debug-build canary and misleadingly imply a refcount contract that no longer exists — the fix is to drop the field (and the assertion) so SafetyData is just the canary pointer.

    Verification: nit — The diff removes unref() (the only mutator of ref_count; base had no ref() either — see git show 731aa92:src/jsc/DeprecatedStrong.rs, only lines 84/102 touched it). After the change, ref_count is set to 1 at line 47 and only ever read by debug_assert!(_safety.ref_count == 1) at line 72 — an assertion that can never fail. The field, the vacuous assert, and the stale… | nit —…

Walkthrough

This PR removes obsolete APIs, re-exports, bindings, flags, and helper code across install, JSC, runtime, Windows, and tooling. It also unifies Windows named-pipe compilation and adds a repository-wide redundant-cfg source lint.

Changes

Repository cleanup and API reduction

Layer / File(s) Summary
Install options and build script cleanup
src/install/PackageManager/..., src/install/build.rs, src/install/dependency.rs, src/install_types/lib.rs, src/install/windows-shim/...
Removed obsolete install flags, updated meta-hash calls, narrowed install exports, and removed trusted-dependency list generation.
JSC, URL, timer, and binding cleanup
src/jsc/..., src/jsc/bindings/..., src/runtime/timer/Timer.rs, src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs, src/url/lib.rs, src/jsc_macros/lib.rs, src/perf/system_timer.rs
Removed obsolete FFI functions, traits, methods, macros, and timer APIs. WASM now uses the Instant-backed timer and the unsupported futex backend.
Windows named-pipe shared compilation path
src/runtime/socket/WindowsNamedPipe.rs, src/runtime/socket/WindowsNamedPipeContext.rs
Removed Windows-only compilation branches from named-pipe state, lifecycle, callbacks, cleanup, and task dispatch.
Public export and runtime API reduction
src/bun_core/..., src/bundler/..., src/runtime/..., src/sql_jsc/lib.rs, src/sys/windows/..., src/windows_sys/...
Removed unused public exports, aliases, traits, methods, Windows declarations, and redundant platform gates.
Tooling and validation cleanup
packages/bun-inspector-protocol/..., packages/bun-release/..., scripts/bootstrap.sh, test/internal/source-lints/...
Removed V8 protocol generation, obsolete shell code, and added a test for redundant or unreachable cfg branches.

Review follow-ups, in d658b0f and f46dabc:

  • DeprecatedStrong: removed SafetyData::ref_count and its debug_assert!. After unref() went, nothing wrote the field.
  • install/build.rs: the script prints cargo:rerun-if-changed=build.rs on every target again, so cargo keeps an explicit rerun set.
  • The "Windows named pipe breaks Linux and macOS" finding is not correct. WindowsNamedPipeContext.rs is mounted with #[cfg(windows)] in src/runtime/socket/mod.rs:31-33, so create does not exist on other targets and the #[cfg(windows)] gates in jsc_hooks.rs are right. bun run rust:check-all passes on all 12 targets.
  • Added test/internal/source-lints/cfg-gated-module-redundant-cfg.test.ts. It fails when a module that is mounted only under #[cfg(P)] contains an outer #[cfg(P)] or #[cfg(not(P))], which is the class of dead code the named pipe cleanup removed. On main it reports 50 findings. It also found the same pattern in path_watcher.rs, win_watcher.rs, BinLinkingShim.rs, and bun_core/windows_sys.rs, now cleaned up in this PR.

Thanks — all four nits from earlier rounds are addressed (unconditional rerun-if-changed in build.rs, flattened blocks + comment in WindowsNamedPipe.rs, not(not(P)) unwrap in the lint, and the orphaned src/protocol/v8/ snapshot deleted). I didn't find anything further, but given the breadth of the sweep a human pass over the "actually dead" claims is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • Redundant #[cfg(...)] removals inside already-gated Windows/posix modules — spot-checked mounts against the new lint's discovery logic.
  • FFI/extern deletions (JSBigInt order variants, BunString, ScriptExecutionContext, headers.h) — grepped for remaining Rust-side callers, none found.
  • ExportRenamer, wasm32 Futex arm, DeprecatedStrong helpers, Channel unused methods — no references remain.
  • The new source-lint test's cfg-attribute parser and mount-predicate intersection logic.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR is a broad dead-code sweep: it removes ~33k lines across 58 files, dominated by the deletion of the checked-in V8 inspector protocol snapshot (~32.6k lines of generated .d.ts/.json) and its generator branch. The remaining ~600 net-removed lines strip unused Rust items (ExportRenamer, BigIntOrderable, wasm32 Futex backend, DeprecatedStrong convenience methods, Channel iteration helpers), delete their matching C++ extern "C" bindings, and drop redundant #[cfg(windows)] / #[cfg(not(windows))] attributes on items inside modules that are already mounted under that same predicate. A new test/internal/source-lints/cfg-gated-module-redundant-cfg.test.ts enforces the last category going forward, and src/CLAUDE.md gains a note pointing at it.

Security risks

None identified. The change is purely subtractive plus a lint test; no new input parsing, no auth/crypto/permission surfaces touched. The only path-handling change is src/install/build.rs, which now writes a 0-byte placeholder into the crate's own windows-shim/ directory during Windows builds — build-time only, path derived from CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR, not user-controlled.

Level of scrutiny

Medium-high. Each individual removal is mechanical, but the correctness of a dead-code PR rests entirely on the claim that every removed item truly has no remaining consumer — including cfg-gated code, generated bindings, and cross-language FFI where the compiler won't catch a stale reference. I spot-checked the FFI deletions (JSBigInt order variants, BunString/ScriptExecutionContext externs) against the Rust side and found no remaining callers, and verified the cfg removals sit inside modules whose every mod declaration is gated by the same predicate. That said, 58 files across install, JSC bindings, threading, Windows sockets, and the bundler is more surface than an automated pass should sign off on alone.

Other factors

Over six earlier review rounds I raised four nits; each was addressed by a follow-up commit (d658b0f, f46dabc, 7c6ef93, bb645c9, b013962), and I re-verified all four fixes against HEAD in this run. The final commit 89f6c096 is an empty CI retrigger. The new lint test gives ongoing coverage for the cfg-redundancy class, but there is no test asserting the removed C++/Rust symbols were unused — that verification is inherently grep-and-compile, which is why a human skim of the removal list is the remaining ask.

### 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.

…stall, and the Windows named pipe modules

Delete the generated V8 devtools protocol types in bun-inspector-protocol
(nothing imports them, the package exports only JSC) and the generator's
--v8 path. Remove Rust items that no crate references (ExportRenamer,
Channel::close, DeprecatedStrong::unref, URLJsc::from_js, two unused
BigInt order FFI wrappers, Bun__Timer__getNextID, Bun__tickWhilePaused,
Bun__getVerboseFetchValue, the install build.rs generator whose output
nothing includes, two never-read install bitflags, unused Win32
declarations, and dead re-exports). Drop cfg(not(windows)) stubs inside
modules that are mounted under cfg(windows), wasm32 branches (no wasm
target exists), and C++ blocks behind macros that are never defined.
…ning ones

test/internal/source-lints/cfg-gated-module-redundant-cfg.test.ts resolves
every top-level `mod` item under src/ to its file and fails when a module
that is only mounted under `#[cfg(P)]` contains an outer `#[cfg(P)]` or
`#[cfg(not(P))]`. rustc strips those arms before dead_code analysis, so
they are never reported.

The lint found four more files with the same pattern: path_watcher.rs
(15 redundant `#[cfg(not(windows))]`), win_watcher.rs (a compile_error!
guard that can never fire), BinLinkingShim.rs (a dead `not(windows)` arm),
and bun_core/windows_sys.rs (a redundant `#[cfg(windows)]`).

Also drop the now write-only `SafetyData::ref_count` in DeprecatedStrong
and keep an unconditional `cargo:rerun-if-changed` in install/build.rs so
cargo does not fall back to rerunning it on every crate change.
A stash round-trip restored the two generated files in the working tree
and 7c6ef93 picked them back up.

CI status at 8d2a327 (rebased on main): two lanes are red, neither from this diff.

  • Windows 11 aarch64: test/cli/install/bun-patch.test.ts ("packages whose label is longer than 1024 bytes"). The same test fails on that lane in main builds 107187, 107106, and 107018. Nothing in this diff changes install behavior at runtime (the install edits are a never-set flag, a never-read flag, dead re-exports, and a build script branch whose output nothing included).
  • macOS x64: test/js/web/url/url.test.ts ("special-scheme hosts use the Unicode 16 IDNA table"), marked pre-existing by the CI annotation. The URL change here removes an unused Rust wrapper (URLJsc::from_js); parsing is WebKit's.

Both are reported to main-break triage. Every other lane is green or passed on retry.

The diff is ready for review.

…r::UnexpectedEof

ConsoleObject.ts (kBindStreamsLazy) is removed by #40232, and Channel::close
and BlobExt::transfer by #40557. Leave those to their PRs.

ParseError::UnexpectedEof is never constructed. Remove the variant and the
arm that mapped it. The yaml module doc no longer names a u16 unit.

…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.

Jarred-Sumner pushed a commit that referenced this pull request Sep 25, 2026
### Problem
- `hasExportStar` in `src/runtime/bake/hmr-module.ts` has no caller. Its
only call site is a block that #18109 commented out on 2025-03-14. The
`availableExportKeys` local above that block is read only by the
commented-out code.
- `firstConnection` in `src/runtime/bake/client/websocket.ts` is
assigned once and never read.
- No lint reports them. Earlier sweeps ran `tsc --noUnusedLocals` over
`src/js` and `scripts` only, not over `src/runtime/bake`.

### Fix
- Delete `hasExportStar`, the commented-out check,
`availableExportKeys`, and `firstConnection`. 2 files, 40 lines removed.
- Correct because the bundler already drops `hasExportStar`. The
generated `bake.client.js`, `bake.server.js` and `bake.error.js` differ
from `main` only by the two removed local declarations.
- Verified: `tsc -p src/runtime/bake/tsconfig.json --noUnusedLocals` no
longer reports either file. `test/bake/dev/esm.test.ts` (17 pass),
`hot.test.ts` (11 pass) and `bundle.test.ts` (23 pass) with the debug
build.

Behaviour change: none

### Background
- `hmr-module.ts` is the module loader that the dev server sends to the
browser and to the SSR realm. `parseEsmDependencies` walks the
dependency list of an ES module. Each entry carries the export names
that the importer uses.
- The removed check compared those names with the exports of the
dependency and threw a `SyntaxError` for a missing one. It has been off
for 18 months. A missing export fails at the use site.
- A deletion has one possible place, so no other design was weighed.

### Downsides
- The commented-out check was the only sketch of export verification in
the HMR runtime. A person who wants to build it starts from the history
of #18109.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

#### Why this run is small
Every other hit of this run is live, is platform code with a user on
another target, or is a line that one of the 34 open dead-code pull
requests already deletes. Each removed line here was checked against
those diffs. #40492 and #43378 touch `websocket.ts` in other hunks.

#### Scans of this run, all clean or already claimed
- Debug objects linked again with `--gc-sections --print-gc-sections`,
then `llvm-symbolizer` for `file:line`. 20,668 discarded functions in
bun's objects. The Rust ones outside macros and trait impls are Windows
or macOS helpers, or claimed (#40824, #40557, #40232). The C++ ones are
claimed, are template instantiations, or have a Rust caller on another
target (`bsd_socket_export`, `posix_spawnattr_reset_signals`).
- Rust functions that never get a symbol (generic or `#[inline]`, never
instantiated), found by comparing every `fn` line with the DWARF
declaration lines of all emitted functions. 86 hits outside `cfg`, trait
impls and `#[inline(always)]`. All are Windows-only, test-only (the
outbound half of `api/bun/h2/connection.rs`), or claimed.
- `clang -fsyntax-only -Wunused-function -Wunused-macros
-Wunused-template -Wunused-member-function` over 588 translation units
and the 69 unified ones (the build passes `-Wno-unused-function`). 3
functions and 6 macros.
`formatStackTraceToJSValueWithoutPrepareStackTrace`, `hostName`,
`G_TRUE`, `G_FALSE`, `MAX_LABELS` and `us_ioctl` are claimed (#40367,
#43378, #40492, #40294). `us_quic_send_one` is used under the non-Linux
`#if` branch.
- A whole-program C++ reference index (`c-index-test -index-file`, 657
translation units, 32,018 symbols declared in bun's tree). 8,711 have no
recorded reference. After filters for template-dependent uses, `extern
"C"`, virtual methods and names that WebKit headers use, 78 remain. All
are index artifacts (typedef struct tags, primary templates with used
specializations, `requires` clauses) or one-line getters in files that
open pull requests rewrite.
- `tsc --noUnusedLocals` over `src/js`, `scripts`, `src/codegen`,
`src/runtime/bake`, `src/node-fallbacks` and the sources of each
package. The hits outside this change are claimed (#40122, #41169,
#41385, #40492, #43778) or are loop variables.
- Regex scans for struct fields with no read and for `bool` or `Option`
fields that only ever get one constant. Nothing new after #43745.
- Exports of `src/js` modules and builtin functions with no mention in
another file: none.
- Files that nothing includes, imports or names: none outside `.idl`
copies (#41064). `src/symbols.txt`, `symbols.def` and the `package.json`
scripts name nothing that is gone. No `#if 0`.

… and the CI pipeline script (#43976)

Behaviour change: none

### Problem
- Eleven files hold items that nothing reads or calls: write-only
fields, an uncalled method, four unused types, and CI options that are
parsed and dropped.
- No tool reports them. C and C++ have no dead-code lint. TypeScript
counts `x += n` as a read. The Rust types come from a macro.

### Fix
- TypeScript: remove `DataViewReader.u16()`, `DataViewWriter.capacity`,
the `totalCount` local in `updateBuildErrorOverlay`, and a commented-out
block from 2024 in `src/js/node/dgram.ts`.
- C and C++: remove `us_udp_socket_t.connected`,
`us_quic_stream_s.headers_delivered` and `Http2ResponseData::totalSize`
(each is only written), and `#undef FD_BITS` (nothing defines it).
- Rust and CI: remove the opaque types `us_loop_t`,
`us_socket_context_t`, `us_udp_socket_t`, `us_udp_packet_buffer_t` from
`src/uws_sys/lib.rs`. In `.buildkite/ci.ts`, remove `dryRun`,
`Platform.features`, four emoji entries, and the union members
`"amazonlinux"` and `"eol"`.
- Verified: `rg -w` for each symbol over `src`, `packages`, `scripts`,
`test` and `build/debug/codegen` finds no other use. `bun bd`, `bun run
rust:check-all` (12 targets) and `tsc` pass. Self-reviewed: 1 concern
raised, 1 addressed.

### Background
- `DataViewReader` and `DataViewWriter` decode and encode the binary
messages between the dev server and its browser client.
- `us_udp_socket_t` and `us_quic_stream_s` are private C structs of
uSockets. Rust holds them as opaque pointers, so no Rust struct mirrors
their layout.
- `bun_core::opaque_extern!` declares a zero-sized Rust type for a C
struct. Rust code names `Loop`, `udp::Socket` and `udp::PacketBuffer`,
not the four removed types.

### Downsides
- None found. Checked each removed symbol for users in Rust, C, C++,
TypeScript, generated code, tests, and open pull requests.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

**Evidence per removal**

| Item | Evidence |
| --- | --- |
| `DataViewReader.u16()` | `rg '\.u16\('` over `src/runtime/bake`,
`test/bake`, `test/cli/inspect`: no hit. |
| `DataViewWriter.capacity` | The only hit of `.capacity` in the bake
TypeScript is the assignment in the constructor. `initCapacity` is the
only caller of the constructor. |
| `totalCount` | Two hits: the declaration and one `+=`. |
| `dgram.ts` block | `git blame`: 589f941, 2024-04-26.
`replaceHandle` and `startListening` are not defined in the file. |
| `us_udp_socket_t.connected` | Two hits, both `udp->connected = 0;`. |
| `us_quic_stream_s.headers_delivered` | Two hits in `quic.c`: the field
and one `= 1`. The struct is private to `quic.c`. |
| `Http2ResponseData::totalSize` | One member access: `data.totalSize =
totalSize;`. The other hits of `totalSize` are the function parameter. |
| `#undef FD_BITS` | The only hit of `FD_BITS` in `src` and `packages`.
|
| Four opaque types | Each name has one non-comment hit in all Rust
sources and generated Rust: the macro call. |
| `dryRun` | Four hits in `ci.ts`: the field, two assignments, one
destructure. Nothing reads the binding. |
| `Platform.features` | One hit. |
| Emoji, `Distro`, `Tier` entries | No platform in `ci.ts` or image in
`scripts/build/ci-images/spec.ts` carries them. `Emoji` is `keyof typeof
emojiMap`, so a remaining caller would fail `tsc -p
scripts/tsconfig.json`. It passes. |

**Taken out because an open pull request uses or removes the item**

- `DataViewWriter.u8()`: dead on main, but #42075 adds its first caller
(`check.u8(IncomingMessageId.check_errors)` in `hmr-runtime-error.ts`).
Git merges the two without a conflict, so the method stays. The tree
that results from a merge of this branch with #42075 has no type error
for `u8`.
- `declare module "bun:wrap"` in `bake.private.d.ts`: no importer, but
#39488 already has the same hunk.

**Tests run with the debug build, all pass**

`test/js/bun/udp/udp_socket.test.ts` (218),
`test/js/bun/udp/dgram.test.ts` (62),
`test/js/bun/http/serve-http2.test.ts` (93),
`test/js/bun/http/serve-http3.test.ts` (73),
`test/bake/dev/bundle.test.ts` (23), `test/bake/dev/esm.test.ts` (17),
`test/bake/hmr-socket-protocol.test.ts` (4),
`test/cli/inspect/BunFrontendDevServer.test.ts` (7).
`test/js/node/dgram/node-dgram.test.js` passes 3 of 4: the IPv6
multicast test fails with `ENODEV` in the test container, with and
without this change. `prettier` and `cargo fmt --check` report no
change.

**Overlap with open pull requests**

Each removed line was compared with the diffs of the 35 open dead-code
pull requests. None removes the same lines. Five files are also touched
by an open pull request, in hunks more than 6 lines away: `internal.h`
and `quic.c` (#40294, #42431), `dgram.ts` (#42431), `overlay.ts`
(#43378, #42075, #39488), `src/uws_sys/lib.rs` (#43010). The added lines
of the 122 open pull requests that were updated since 2026-09-18 and
touch the bake, uSockets, uWS, uws_sys, server, socket or CI sources
name none of the removed symbols.

**What was scanned**

- C and C++: the debug binary was linked a second time with
`--gc-sections`, and the two symbol tables were compared. 414 functions
in bun's own C and C++ are unreachable on Linux. Open pull requests
remove 263 of them. The remainder is in the list below, has a caller on
Windows or macOS, or comes from a macro.
- Rust: 37 `#[no_mangle]` exports are unreachable in the Linux link.
Each has a caller on another platform, or #40824, #40232 or #40557
removes it. A count of references for all 58,055 Rust definitions found
no other item without a user. Of the 144 `allow` attributes for the
unused and unreachable lints, each covers code that depends on `cfg` or
is macro output.
- Cargo: five dependency edges are unused on all 12 targets. #40294
removes three. `bun_resolver -> bun_zstd` is used under
`cfg(bun_codegen_embed)`. `bun_wyhash -> bstr` is used by unit tests.
- Preprocessor: `USE(BIGINT32)` and `ENABLE(MALLOC_BREAKDOWN)` are never
true. #43644 and #40557 remove those branches.
- Also scanned and clean: `src/js`, `src/node-fallbacks`, `src/codegen`,
`scripts/`, `misctools/`, `patches/` (every patch file has a user),
`packages/` except `bun-types`.

**Probably dead, left alone on purpose**

- The `PerformanceResourceTiming` cluster under
`src/jsc/bindings/webcore` (about 2,000 lines:
`PerformanceResourceTiming`, `PerformanceServerTiming`,
`ResourceTiming`, `NetworkLoadMetrics`, `ResourceLoadTiming`,
`ServerTiming` and the two JS wrappers). The linker drops every
constructor, so no instance can exist. The two globals are public and
`test/js/web/web-globals.test.js` checks them. This needs a decision:
keep it for a future resource-timing implementation, or reduce it to the
two constructors.
- `WEBCORE_GENERATED_CONSTRUCTOR_GETTER` (`ZigGlobalObject.cpp`) emits
an `X_getter` function for 50 classes. 45 have no user. A removal needs
a second macro and saves no source lines.
- The WebIDL converters for `byte`, `short` and `long long`, and most
`Clamp` and `EnforceRange` specializations in `JSDOMConvertNumbers.cpp`.
No binding uses them, but `src/codegen/bindgen.ts` maps `t.i8`, `t.i16`
and `t.i64` to them.
- `src/js/bun/sql.ts`: the export properties `sql`, `Query`, `postgres`
and the four error classes. Native code reads only `default` and `SQL`.
It is not certain that no loader path exposes the module object.
- `us_nq_settings_set_scid_len` and `us_nq_settings_set_delay_onclose`
(`node_quic_shim.c`, declared in `src/lsquic_sys/lib.rs`): no caller.
`node:quic` is under active work.
- `Event::currentTargetIsInShadowTree()` and its bit: no reader. The
lines sit next to a hunk of #39929.
- Bake client: `WebSocketWrapper.close()` and `[Symbol.dispose]()`,
`streamingStarted`, the `line` and `column` bookkeeping and seven enum
members in `JavaScriptSyntaxHighlighter.ts`, and `externals` in
`src/node-fallbacks/build-fallbacks.ts`. Each sits next to a hunk of
#43378, #40492, #40122 or #41385.
- The `internal: true` property option of the class generator. A guard
throws on it, so the branches behind it cannot run. Five open pull
requests touch `generate-classes.ts`.
- `H2App::getNativeHandle` (next to a hunk of #41195) and
`uws_app_listen_config_t` (its last user goes with #42431).
- `UWS_ALLOW_SHARED_AND_DEDICATED_COMPRESSOR_MIX`,
`UWS_ALLOW_8_WINDOW_BITS` and `LIBUS_NO_SSL`: never defined, but they
are documented opt-in switches of the upstream libraries.
- `scripts/debug-coredump.ts`, `scripts/gamble.ts`,
`scripts/github-metrics.ts`, `scripts/lldb-inline.sh` with
`scripts/lldb-inline-tool.cpp`, and `packages/h3blast`: nothing
references them. They read as tools that a person runs by hand.
- #40232 removes `napi_internal_get_version`. #42556 renamed that
function to `Bun__napi_get_version` on main, and it still has no caller.
