Problem

  • A set of #[no_mangle] Rust exports has no C++ caller, and a set of C++ helpers has no Rust or C++ caller. Each one still carries a declaration in headers.h or a .h file, so grep-based sweeps kept both sides alive.
  • host-export-callers.test.ts only checks // HOST_EXPORT markers. The other export forms (#[no_mangle], #[export_name], #[host_fn(export)]) have no lint, so nothing notices when their caller goes away.

Fix

  • Remove the dead Rust exports and the C++ declarations that name them: Zig__GlobalObject__reportUncaughtException (with VirtualMachine::report_uncaught_exception), Resolver__propForRequireMainPaths, BlobArrayBuffer_deallocator, AbortSignal__Timeout__run, a #[no_mangle] fn c in TextEncoder.rs that duplicates TextEncoder__encode16, and the Bun__ConsoleObject__profile, profileEnd, record, recordEnd, screenshot no-op hooks. ConsoleObject.cpp implements those five as empty methods and never calls into Rust.
  • Remove the dead C++ helpers and the Rust wrappers around them: WebCore__FetchHeaders__createValue with FetchHeaders::from, DOMFormData__toQueryString with DOMFormData::toURLEncodedString, Bun__CallFrame__isFromBunMain, NapiRef::clear, and JSC__VM__hasTerminationRequest with VM::has_termination_request.
  • Drop the unused export names on parse_args, PostgresSQLConnection::call, Bun__HashObject__crc32 and the four Bun__NodeNet__*AutoSelectFamily* shims (all reached through js2native or host-function tables, never by symbol), the strings::rsplit_once helper, and the BUN_DUMP_STATE_ON_CRASH feature flag that nothing reads.
  • Extend host-export-callers.test.ts to every export form. A symbol must be named, outside a comment, somewhere other than its own definition. Other Rust files count, so an extern "C" {} block in another crate keeps a symbol alive. One PCRE alternation replaces one -e per symbol and keeps the scan under a second. On main the lint reports 8 orphans, all removed here.
  • Verified: bun bd links, bun run rust:check-all passes on all 12 targets, and test/internal/source-lints, test/js/web/html/FormData.test.ts, test/js/web/fetch/fetch_headers.test.js, test/js/web/encoding/text-encoder.test.js, test/js/web/abort, test/js/bun/util/hash.test.js, test/js/node/net/connect-autoselectfamily-stale-timer.test.ts, test/js/node/util/parse_args, test/js/web/console, test/js/node/module and test/js/sql/postgres-* pass.

Background

  • Rust code that only C++ can reach is exported with #[no_mangle] or #[export_name]. rustc treats such an item as a root, so dead_code never fires for it even when no C++ file references the symbol.
  • The same holds in reverse: a C++ extern "C" function that exists for Rust is kept by the C++ compiler, and only a Rust extern block declaration (or a call) would show it is live.
  • To find both kinds, this sweep relinked the debug binary with --gc-sections --print-gc-sections. The linker lists every function section nothing references. Each candidate was then checked against the source tree for a caller on any platform before it was removed.
Notes

How the candidates were found:

Overlap with open PRs: #40232 also deletes AbortSignal__Timeout__run. The lint added here flags it, and two identical deletions merge cleanly.

Checked and left alone:

  • Bun__noOrphans_*, ScriptExecutionContext::getMainThreadScriptExecutionContext, Bun__Process__hasTitle, node::MaybeExt, PathLikeExt::slice_w: only called on macOS or Windows.
  • PerformanceResourceTiming, ResourceTiming, NetworkLoadMetrics: never instantiated, but the JS constructor is part of the global surface.
  • ncrypto::ECGroupPointer, ECPointPointer, ECDSASigPointer default and move constructors and release(): unused, but ncrypto.h is edited by Remove dead code from the JSC bindings, the codegen scripts, the CI scripts, bun_core, and bun_jsc #40492.
  • dumpBtjsTrace and the crash_handler::debug symbol lookup behind it: a debugger entry point, reachable only from lldb or gdb.
  • Bun__thisThreadHasVM and the WTFTimer__* exports: called by Bun's WebKit fork (Source/WTF/wtf/bun/RunLoopBun.cpp), which the lint cannot see and therefore exempts by name.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3b028

The expanded export lint can misclassify symbols inside multiline block comments, allowing a dead export to evade enforcement or causing a false lint failure; this is a bounded non-runtime issue, so the PR is mergeable with owner follow-up.

Extend host-export-callers.test.ts from HOST_EXPORT markers to every
hand-written export: #[no_mangle] items, #[export_name] items and
#[host_fn(export)] / #[uws_callback(export)] shims. A symbol must be
named outside a comment somewhere other than its own definition. Other
Rust files count, so extern blocks in another crate keep a symbol alive.
One PCRE alternation replaces one -e per symbol, which keeps the scan
under a second.

The lint found and this commit removes:

- AbortSignal__Timeout__run (the timer fires through dispatch.rs)
- the export names on Bun__HashObject__crc32 and the four
  Bun__NodeNet__*DefaultAutoSelectFamily* shims, which are reached
  through JSFunction::create and never by symbol
- a #[no_mangle] fn named c in TextEncoder.rs, a duplicate of
  TextEncoder__encode16 with nothing calling it
Comment thread src/bun_core/string/immutable.rs Resolved
Comment thread src/bun_core/env_var.rs Resolved
strings::rsplit_once is gone, so the deny reasons for str::rsplit_once,
str::rsplitn and bstr::ByteSlice::rsplit_once_str now name rsplit_once_char
and last_index_of. The bake harness no longer sets BUN_DUMP_STATE_ON_CRASH,
which nothing reads.

CI on 02780ce: the only lane that stays red is test/js/web/url/url.test.ts on darwin x64. It fails on main too (the Unicode 16 IDNA case needs ICU 76) and is with main-break triage. Every other failure in this run passed on retry or when run alone. The filesystem_router segfault from the previous run did not recur.

…misc sources (#40881)

### Problem
- The C++ side of the Rust/C++ FFI still defines shims that no Rust code
calls. The Rust side now implements `JSValue::is_int32`, `is_null`,
`is_object`, `js_type`, and friends inline (`src/jsc/JSValue.rs`), but
the `[[ZIG_EXPORT]]` / `CPP_DECL` functions they replaced stayed in
`src/jsc/bindings/bindings.cpp` and `headers.h`, and `cppbind.ts` still
emitted Rust wrappers for them.
- `src/uws_sys/libuwsockets_h2.cpp` defines seven `uws_h2_res_*` C shims
with no Rust declaration, and one (`uws_h2_res_override_write_offset`)
whose only Rust wrapper nothing calls.

### Fix
- Delete 21 functions from `bindings.cpp` and their 15 `headers.h`
declarations: `JSC__JSValue__{isCell, isCustomGetterSetter,
isGetterSetter, isInt32, isInt32AsAnyInt, isNull, isNumber, isObject,
isUndefined, isUndefinedOrNull, jsNumberFromChar, jsNumberFromU16,
jsTDZValue, jsType}`, `JSC__JSMap__has`, `JSC__JSPromise__isHandled`,
`JSC__JSInternalPromise__{reject, resolve}`, `JSC__VM__{isJITEnabled,
isTerminationException, performOpportunisticallyScheduledTasks}`.
- Delete `uws_h2_res_{override_write_offset, get_write_offset,
prepare_for_sendfile, get_native_handle, get_socket_data, uncork,
is_corked}` and `Response::override_write_offset` in
`src/uws_sys/h2.rs`.
- Delete the unused `BREAKING_CHANGES_BUN_1_2` macro in
`JSSQLStatement.cpp`, the unreachable `#else` branches of two `#if 1`
blocks in `CryptoAlgorithmRSA_PSSOpenSSL.cpp`, and the never-exported
`SlowBuffer` in `src/node-fallbacks/buffer.js`.
- Verified: every symbol has zero references in `src/**`, `packages/**`,
`build/debug/codegen/**`, and the prebuilt WebKit libraries. `bun bd`
links, `bun run rust:check-all` passes on all 12 targets. Ran
`serve.test.ts`, `serve-http2.test.ts`, `serve-http2-protocol.test.ts`,
`sqlite.test.js`, `web-crypto.test.ts`, `buffer.test.js`,
`bundler_browser.test.ts`.
- No test: unreferenced code has no observable behavior, and
`test/internal/source-lints/CLAUDE.md` asks for no dead-symbol lint
tests.

### Background
- `[[ZIG_EXPORT(mode)]]` marks a C++ function that
`src/codegen/cppbind.ts` scrapes into `build/*/codegen/cpp.rs` as a Rust
`extern "C"` declaration plus a safe wrapper. Rust calls the wrapper as
`bun_jsc::cpp::Name`. A function with no Rust caller is unreachable: C++
never calls these shims directly.
- `headers.h` carries hand-written `CPP_DECL` prototypes for the same
extern "C" surface. Both sides were trimmed together.
- The prebuilt WebKit libraries reference a few `Bun__*` symbols and
define two weak defaults that Bun overrides (`Bun__thisThreadHasVM`,
`Bun__analyzeTranspiledModule`). None of the deleted symbols is in
either set.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

How the candidates were found:

- Per crate, every `pub` Rust item with zero textual references outside
its crate was rewritten to `pub(crate)`, then `cargo check -p <crate>`
was run with `dead_code` as a warning, on linux, windows, and darwin
targets. Items flagged on all three targets and not referenced from
macro bodies (`$crate::`) were the Rust candidates. After excluding
files and symbols that the 13 open dead-code PRs already remove, the
only survivor was `Response::override_write_offset`. The workspace
already compiles with `dead_code = "deny"` and `unreachable_pub =
"deny"`, so private dead code cannot exist.
- `nm --defined-only` over every object in `build/debug/obj` and
`libbun_runtime.a`, minus `nm --undefined-only` over all objects and the
WebKit libraries (`libWTF.a`, `libJavaScriptCore.a`, `libbmalloc.a`,
including their weak symbols), gave the set of C-linkage symbols nothing
references at link time. A test link with `--gc-sections
--print-gc-sections` (without `-rdynamic`) confirmed the same set.
Codegen-emitted symbols (`*__fromJS`, `*GetCachedValue`, JSSink
`*__createObject`) were excluded because they are regenerated from
`.classes.ts`.
- Every remaining bun C++ translation unit was also compiled with
`-fsyntax-only -Wunused-function -Wunused-template
-Wunused-member-function`. The 14 warnings were either in files open PRs
already edit or header templates used by other translation units.
- `src/js/**` and `src/node-fallbacks/**` were checked export by export.
`oxlint` already enforces `no-unused-vars` there, and all 235 bundled
files and every `internal/*` export have consumers.

Not touched on purpose:

- `Bun__thisThreadHasVM` looks unreferenced but WebKit's
`RunLoopBun.cpp` declares it weak and asserts in its fallback. Removing
it aborts every run.
- `src/jsc/bindings/webcrypto/*.idl` (29 files) have no consumer, but
the webcore `.idl` files are kept the same way as reference for the
hand-written bindings.
- `src/runtime/webview/ObjCRuntime.{h,cpp}`: `NSObject::describe` and
`WKWebView::isLoading` have no callers, but the file compiles only on
macOS.
- `bindings.cpp` and `headers.h` are also edited by #40232 and #40824.
The deleted functions are disjoint from both, but hunks are adjacent, so
whichever merges second needs a trivial rebase.

…al-field cells, Http2Response, and the WebView ObjC wrappers (#42816)

### Problem
- Four native class members exist only for built-in JS, and nothing
calls them: the SQL connection `connected` getter and `onconnect`
accessor, `NodeHTTPResponse.ended`, and
`crash_handler.getFeaturesAsVLQ`.
- Thirteen `JSInternalFieldObjectImpl` subclasses carry a copied `static
size_t allocationSize(Checked<size_t>)`. Each `create()` uses
`allocateCell<T>(vm)`, which takes `sizeof(T)`. JavaScriptCore calls
`allocationSize` only on its own classes.
- Other leftovers have no reader: two WebCore members, eight
`Http2Response` members and the `socketData` field behind one of them,
two `ObjCRuntime` wrappers, `.typos.toml`, and
`packages/bun-error/img/*`.

### Fix
- Delete each item: 31 files, 154 lines and 4 images removed. The Notes
list every symbol.
- Correct because every removed name has zero references in `src/`,
`packages/`, `scripts/`, `test/` and `build/debug/codegen/` outside its
own definition. No removed member is documented or typed API.
- Verified: `bun bd` and `bun run rust:check-all` (12 targets) pass. The
sql, `node:http`, streams, `serve-http2`, node error-code, performance
and crash-handler test files pass. `ObjCRuntime` compiles only on macOS,
so CI is the compile check for those 13 lines.

### Background
- A `*.classes.ts` file declares the members of a native class. The
generator emits the C++ wrapper and the Rust glue. The generated thunk
is `#[no_mangle]`, so neither rustc nor the linker reports a member that
no JS reads.
- `values: ["onconnect", ...]` in `sql.classes.ts` declares a GC-visited
slot on the wrapper. Native code uses the slot through
`onconnect_get_cached` / `onconnect_set_cached`. The removed accessor
was a JS-facing route to the same slot. The slot stays.
- 34 other dead-code pull requests are open. This one deletes nothing
that they delete. Six files overlap on other lines (listed in the
Notes).

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

No test is added. The change deletes code that has no user, so it has no
behavior to cover, and REVIEW.md says not to add tests that check dead
code stays dead.

Overlap with open pull requests:

- No deleted line is a line that one of the 34 open dead-code pull
requests deletes (checked line by line against their diffs).
- Six files also change in one of them, on other lines:
`scripts/glob-sources.ts` (#40232), `src/jsc/bindings/ErrorCode.h`
(#39929), `JSOneShotDirectSink.h` (#41385),
`JSStreamAlgorithmContexts.h` (#41445),
`src/runtime/api/crash_handler_jsc.rs` (#41385),
`src/sql_jsc/postgres/PostgresSQLConnection.rs` (#40824).
- The diffs of the 227 open pull requests (newest 2,500) that touch the
`node:http`, sql, crash-handler, streams-header, webview or uws HTTP/2
files add no user of a removed name.

Removed, one line each:

- `PostgresSQLConnection.connected` / `MySQLConnection.connected` and
both `get_connected`. Every `.connected` in `src/js/internal/sql/` and
`src/js/bun/sql.ts` is `PooledConnectionState.connected`. `test/js/sql`
mentions it in comments only.
- `PostgresSQLConnection.onconnect` / `MySQLConnection.onconnect`
accessor and the two `(get_on_connect, set_on_connect => ...)` lines of
`cached_prop_hostfns!`. Every JS `onconnect` is on the options object
(`connectionInfo.onconnect`, `ret.onconnect`).
- `NodeHTTPResponse.ended` / `get_ended`. The `_http_*` modules read
`handle.flags & NodeHTTPResponseFlags.ended`. The other `.ended` hits
are `queued.ended`, `_readableState.ended`, and the JS handle in
`http1_server_fallback.ts`.
- `crash_handler.getFeaturesAsVLQ` / `js_get_features_as_vlq`, and the
`BoundedArray` import that only it used. `getFeatureData` and the other
entries have users in `test/`, `scripts/` or `packages/bun-release`.
- `allocationSize` in `InternalModuleRegistry.h`, `ErrorCode.h`
(`ErrorCodeCache`), `BunStreamSource.h`,
`JSAsyncIteratorSourceOperation.h`, `JSDirectStreamSource.h`,
`JSOneShotDirectSink.h`, `JSReadRequest.h` (2),
`JSReadStreamIntoSinkOperation.h`,
`JSReadableStreamIntoArrayOperation.h`, `JSStreamAlgorithmContexts.h`,
`JSStreamTeeState.h`, `JSStreamPipeToOperation.h`. `rg allocationSize
src packages build/debug/codegen` found the 14 definitions and no call.
The debug objects contain no `allocationSize` symbol for a bun class.
The fourteenth copy, in `JSCrossRealmTransformState.h`, stays because
#41445 deletes that file.
- #41268 lists `InternalModuleRegistry::allocationSize` under "Kept on
purpose" because it corrects the base class version, which returns
`sizeof(JSInternalFieldObjectImpl)`. That reason does not hold. Nothing
calls either version for these classes, `allocateCell<T>(vm)` sizes the
cell from `sizeof(T)`, and four other subclasses (`ModuleLoader.h`,
`JSSocketHandlers.h`, `JSNextTickQueue.h`, `JSMockFunction.h`) never had
the copy.
- `JSPerformanceResourceTiming::protectedWrapped`. The callers of
`protectedWrapped()` are on `JSDOMURL`, `JSAbortSignal` and the
`CookieMap` wrapper.
- `ResourceLoadTiming::isolatedCopy`. No caller.
- `Http2Response::getWriteOffset`, `overrideWriteOffset`,
`getSocketData`, `prepareForSendfile`, `uncork`, `isCorked`,
`getNativeHandle`, `isConnectRequest`
(`packages/bun-uws/src/Http2Context.h`), and
`Http2ResponseData::socketData`, which only `getSocketData` read and
nothing wrote. The callers of the last four names in `libuwsockets.cpp`
are on `HttpResponse<SSL>` and `AsyncSocket<SSL>`. `libuwsockets_h2.cpp`
uses none of the eight. #40294 removes the same-named members of
`HttpResponse` and `Http3Response`.
- `ObjCRuntime`: `struct NSObject` (only member: `describe()`),
`Ref::s_description`, `WKWebView::isLoading()`,
`WKWebView::s_isLoading`. Each name has only its declaration, definition
and `sel(...)` initializer.
- `.typos.toml`. Its runner, `.github/workflows/typos.yml`, was deleted
in 126f468 (2025-11-05).
-
`packages/bun-error/img/{close.png,error.png,powered-by.png,powered-by.webp}`,
last touched 2021-09-11. `bun-error.css` uses inline `data:` URIs. The
`img/*` glob in `scripts/glob-sources.ts` goes with them.

Tests run with the debug build:
`test/js/sql/sql-onconnect-onclose-throw.test.ts` (9),
`sql-connection-socket-uaf.test.ts` (2),
`sql-mysql-clean-reentry.test.ts` (1), `sql-mysql.test.ts`,
`sql.test.ts`, `test/js/node/http/node-http.test.ts` (159),
`node-http-uaf.test.ts` (9), `test/js/web/streams/streams.test.js`
(563), `test/js/bun/http/serve-http2.test.ts` (90),
`test/js/web/timers/performance-entries.test.ts`,
`test/cli/run/run-crash-handler.test.ts` (28), `test/js/node/errors/` (2
files), `test/js/bun/util/error-code-mirror.test.ts`.

How the candidates were found:

- A repo-wide identifier index (definitions with zero other mentions,
comments stripped).
- A compiler pass over a scratch copy of the workspace: every `pub` item
that no other crate names becomes `pub(crate)`, then `cargo check
--force-warn dead_code` runs for linux (dev and release), windows and
macos. A loop restores `pub` at each definition that a privacy error
points to. 131 leaf items came out of it.
- A second compiler pass marks each of those 131 items `#[deprecated]`
in an unmodified copy and checks all four configurations again. 88 had a
real user. The first pass misses them because a private inherent method
silently loses method resolution to a trait method of the same name. 43
had none.
- Manual review dropped all 43: unit-test users (`CowSlice::init_dupe`,
`clap::SliceIterator`, `Imports::ALL_SORTED`, the `h2::Connection` send
path), names that `generate-classes.ts` emits (`host_fn_setter`,
`host_fn_this_value`), a FreeBSD-only user (`O::EVTONLY`), the
`__IsFreeze` autoref const, and errno or fault-injection tables that
mirror C.
- A mark-and-sweep over the relocations of the `-O0 -ffunction-sections`
debug objects for C++. Almost every hit is in a function that one of the
open pull requests already deletes.
- A per-binding comparison of every native object and `*.classes.ts`
member that built-in JS consumes against `src/js`, `packages/bun-types`
and `test/`.

Self-reviewed: three changes requested, all made. The other four
`Http2Response` stubs and `socketData` go too, three more
`allocationSize` copies go too, and the `sys/Error.rs` entry is back.

Found, not deleted here:

- `"sys/Error.rs"` in `rustIdentifierPaths`
(`src/codegen/generate-js2native.ts`): no `$newRustFunction` call site
on main since 2b3f660, but #40854 adds one.
- `FrameworkFileSystemRouter.match` (the `bun:internal-for-testing`
router binding, 67 lines with `route_to_json_inverse`): no user on main,
but #40731 and #33232 add tests that call it.
- `bun_core::strings::split_once`: no user, but #40824 deletes the
adjacent `rsplit_once`.
- The SQL `queries` getter is never read, so `queries_set_cached` never
runs and `get_queries_array()` always returns `undefined`. The `if
(queries)` branches in `onResolve*`/`onReject*` (`mysql.ts`,
`postgres.ts`) and the `queries` argument of about 12 native call sites
are dead. That is a refactor of the resolve path, not a deletion.
- `NodeHTTPResponse.ref`: no JS caller, but `unref` has one, and a
one-sided pair reads like a bug.
- `MySQLConnection.ref`/`unref`: no caller, but `sql.classes.ts`
generates both drivers from one loop.
- 36 of the 48 `X_getter` functions that
`WEBCORE_GENERATED_CONSTRUCTOR_GETTER` defines in `ZigGlobalObject.cpp`
have no user. The macro also defines the live `XConstructorCallback`, so
this needs a macro split.
- `IDLByte`, `IDLShort` and `IDLLongLong` converters: never
instantiated, but `src/codegen/bindgen.ts` can emit the type names.
- `ERR_REDIS_INVALID_DATABASE` in `ErrorCode.ts`: no user, but three
open pull requests edit the adjacent lines.
- `internalBinding("quic")` constants that `quic.ts` does not read: the
object mirrors Node's list and is returned whole.

… the build scripts (#43778)

### Problem
- A few C++ and TypeScript items have no caller, no producer, or no
effect.
- `BUN_MESSAGEPORT_USES_PIPE` (`src/jsc/bindings/webcore/MessagePort.h`)
is always `1`. The `#if` around all of `MessagePortPipe.cpp` never
excludes anything.

### Fix
- WebView: remove `WebViewProto::Reader::u16()` and `f32()`
(`ipc_protocol.h`), which have no caller. Remove the CDP `Method` values
`RuntimeEnable`, `TargetCloseTarget` and `InputDispatchScrollEvent` with
their `case` labels (`ChromeBackend.{h,cpp}`). No pending entry carries
them.
- WebCore bindings: remove the `BUN_MESSAGEPORT_USES_PIPE` define and
guard, the self-alias of `ExtendedDOMClientIsoSubspaces`, the forward
declaration of `URLPatternUtilities::URLPatternInit` (no such type), the
enumerators `PerformanceEntry::Type::Paint` and
`CastedThisErrorBehavior::ReturnEarly`, and 13 lines of commented-out
WebKit code.
- Build scripts: remove `getBuildNumber()` (`.buildkite/ci.ts`) and
`BunOutput.rustObjects` (`scripts/build/bun.ts`). Nothing reads either.
- Verified: `rg -w` for each symbol over `src`, `packages`, `scripts`,
`test` and `build/debug/codegen` finds no other use. `bun bd` passes.
The Notes list the tests.

### Background
- `ipc_protocol.h` is the wire format between bun and the WebView host
process. `Reader` decodes frames. Every caller uses `u8`, `u32`, `bytes`
and `str` only.
- `ChromeBackend` tags each pending Chrome DevTools Protocol command
with a `Method`, so that the response handler knows which promise to
settle. A value that no pending entry carries cannot reach the `switch`.
- #29937 added the guard so that `MessagePortPipe.cpp` compiled to
nothing while a verification step reverted `MessagePort.h`. Both files
are on main now.

### Downsides
- None found. Checked each removed symbol for users in C++, Rust,
generated code and `src/symbols.*`. The removed enum values are
in-memory tags or template arguments. Rust mirrors neither enum.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

Smoke tests with the debug build, all pass:
`test/js/web/workers/message-port-pipe.test.ts`,
`message-channel.test.ts`, `performance-observer-leak.test.ts`,
`test/js/node/perf_hooks/perf_hooks.test.ts`, `test/js/web/urlpattern/`,
`test/js/bun/webview/webview-chrome-pipe.test.ts`. `clang-format` and
`prettier` report no change on the touched files. `.buildkite/ci.ts`
still transpiles.

Each removal was checked against the diffs of the 34 open dead-code PRs.
None of them removes the same lines. `MessagePort.h` is also touched by
#40525, in a different hunk.

How the Rust side was scanned, and why this PR has no Rust in it:
- `cargo mordant` at the revision pinned in
`.github/workflows/rust-lints.yml`, over the Linux, Windows and macOS
targets, with the `unused_pub` entries taken out of the baseline. It
reports 188 `pub` items that nothing in the workspace uses. Every
function, method and struct in that list is in one of four groups: an
open PR already removes it, a `cfg` that the run does not build uses it
(`bun_zstd::inflate_embedded*` under `bun_codegen_embed`,
`StoredTrace::from` in `PackageInstall.rs`), only a unit test uses it
(`CowSliceZ::init_dupe`), or #42119 left it on purpose
(`host_fn_this_value`, `host_fn_setter`, `JsClass::estimated_size`). The
constants are flag, errno and syscall-tag tables.
- A rust-analyzer SCIP index for five targets (Linux, Windows, macOS,
FreeBSD, Android) plus a reachability closure over it. Two blind spots
make it unreliable alone: rust-analyzer sets `cfg(test)` by default,
which hides `src/runtime/bin_entry`, and references that come from a
`macro_rules!` body are not indexed (`comptime_string_map!`, the CSS
`to_css` bridges). With those corrected, it agrees with mordant and adds
nothing.
- Cargo's own `unused_dependencies` warnings: 9 edges. Each is used on
another target, or #40294 already removes it.
- Rust files outside every module tree: none. Headers that nothing
includes: none (the remaining ones come in through
`GeneratedJS2Native.h`, `NativeModuleImpl.h` or `include_bytes!`).

Also scanned and clean: `src/js/{node,internal,bun,thirdparty}` and
`src/js/builtins` (all 50 builtins and all 177 private names have a
user), `scripts/`, `misctools/`, `.buildkite/ci.ts`, and the C++ under
`webcore/`, `webcrypto/`, `node/` and `src/runtime/` that no open PR
touches.

Probably dead, left alone on purpose:
- `bun_core::strings::split_once` (`src/bun_core/string/immutable.rs`):
no caller on any target. It sits next to the hunk in which #40824
removes `rsplit_once`, so a removal here would conflict with that PR.
- The raw-list `myersDiff` export of
`src/js/internal/assert/myers_diff.ts` and the `Output::List` path
behind it in `src/runtime/node/node_assert.rs` (about 115 lines):
nothing consumes it. #39924 kept the export on purpose, and Node's own
`test-assert-myers-diff.js` needs it if that test is vendored.
- `BuiltinName::{redirect, asyncIterator, name, default, fatal,
ignoreBOM}` (`src/jsc/lib.rs`, mirrored by position in `bindings.cpp`):
never constructed. A removal conflicts with #40232.
- `FetchHeaders` guard handling (`removePrivilegedNoCORSRequestHeaders`
and the `Guard::Immutable` checks): every construction site passes
`Guard::None`, and #43644 removes `setGuard`. This is unreachable code,
not unreferenced code.
- `ServerTiming`'s constructor and its `durationSet` / `descriptionSet`
fields: nothing constructs a `ServerTiming`. #40122 and #41385 touch the
same cluster.
- The `$isPromiseFulfilled`, `$isPromiseRejected` and `$alwaysInline`
codegen macros: no user since 92459cd.
- `scripts/build/config.ts` flags `logs` and `baseline`: parsed and
printed, never read since the Rust rewrite.
`NestedCmakeBuild.{extraCFlags, extraCxxFlags, libSubdir, sourceSubdir,
pic}`: no dependency sets them, but `scripts/build/deps/README.md`
documents them as the API for future dependencies.
- `misctools/gen-unicode-table.ts` and `unicode-generator.ts` emit Zig.
Nothing references them, but `src/bun_core/string/identifier.rs` still
names the generator as the way to rebuild its tables.
- `completions/bun-cli.json` and
`misctools/generate-cli-completions.ts`: nothing in the repository reads
the JSON. It is still updated by hand, so something outside the
repository may use it.

</details>
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.

**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.
