Problem

  • Sequential Bun.build() calls get stale macro results: a macro returns an earlier build's define (15 of 16 builds in the new test) and ignores an edit of the macro file.
  • Macro::init (src/js_parser_jsc/Macro.rs) reuses the worker thread's VM with the first build's options, modules, log and env loader. A Worker frees that loader on exit: a later build read freed memory.

Fix

  • VirtualMachine::serve_macro_build runs at each macro load. It knows a build by the Arc<TransformOptions> its transpilers share. For another build the VM drops its modules (GlobalObject::reload) and rebuilds its options and defines. It takes the build's env loader and keeps its own log.
  • A bake app's graph transpilers share one Arc.
  • Verified: test/bundler/transpiler/macro-test.test.ts (five new tests, four fail on stock bun), test/bake/dev/bundle.test.ts (one), bundler_edgecase.test.ts, the macro regression tests.
  • Self-reviewed: 8 concerns raised, 8 addressed. The bake commit's review did not finish.

Background

  • A macro import (with { type: "macro" }) runs a module at build time in a JSC VM. Each worker-pool thread keeps one.
  • Considered comparing option content: builds with equal options can differ in the macro file and the env.

Downsides

Notes
  • Repro on stock 1.4.1: twelve Bun.build() calls with define: { MY_DEF: JSON.stringify("v" + i) } on an entry that uses a macro reading MY_DEF. Seven to eight outputs carry an earlier value. With UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE=2 every later build is stale.
  • The same VM leaks a build's define into the program: after Bun.build({ define: { MY_DEF: '"from-build"' } }), a runtime import() of a module that uses the macro, transpiled on a pool thread, returns "from-build". The test "a runtime import after Bun.build() does not see the build's define" covers this.
  • The Worker case: a Bun.build() from a Worker creates pool VMs with the Worker's env loader. After the Worker exits, a build from the main thread crashed on stock bun (segfault in the macro's process.env read) and under ASAN in Loader::load_process. The test "a Bun.build() after a Worker's build with macros reads the main thread's env" covers this.
  • A build is identified by pointer. Two Bun.build() calls with equal options are two builds, so the macro modules are evaluated once per build per thread, as bun build evaluates them once per invocation. The test "sequential Bun.build() calls each evaluate the macro file as it is at that build" edits the macro file between four builds.
  • A move that fails at any step leaves the VM on the old build with an empty registry: the callbacks and the registry go first, the options rebuild second, and the build is recorded last. The failed load returns an error, and the next load for the new build moves again. Macro::init calls configure_defines at every load of a macro VM. It is a no-op once the defines are loaded, so a load that failed inside it is repeated by the next load.
  • --external, --packages=external, write and target are cleared or forced on the copy the macro VM takes, the way the first VM already took them (macros: create the build-time macro VM from the build's transform options #40750, init_runtime_state). reset_transform_options also applies preserve_symlinks, which from_api leaves at its default and init_runtime_state applies to a new VM.
  • A macro VM is moved only while no macro JS runs on its thread. A Bun.Transpiler used inside a macro body keeps the VM as it is.
  • What configure_defines allocates for the define table of a moved VM goes into an arena of the transpiler's own (define_arena). reset_transform_options replaces that arena with the table, so a string or env value of the build a VM leaves is freed. The test "a macro VM that moves to another build frees the previous build's string define values" fails on this branch without the arena.
  • Bake: Framework::init_transpiler (dev server) and init_transpiler_with_options (production build) created each graph transpiler from its own TransformOptions::default(). A worker thread parses files of several graphs in one bundle, so its macro VM moved at every switch. Measured on a debug build of this branch without the bake commit, with the new test in test/bake/dev/bundle.test.ts (two pool threads, six server files and two client components that call one macro, twelve saves): one VM evaluated the macro module 14 times in 28 macro calls. With the commit each VM evaluates it once, as on main. The graphs now take one shared Arc per app. What differs per graph (target, conditions, the import.meta defines) is set on BundleOptions after from_api and never reached a macro VM. BundleV2::init asserts the shared Arc in debug builds. A Bun.build() that creates a client transpiler copies the main one (for_worker) and shared the Arc already.
  • Time per build, release builds of main at 4b02e10 and of this branch before the arena and bake commits, runs interleaved. Sequential Bun.build() of an entry with one macro: 1.93 to 3.17 ms per build with two pool threads, 2.95 to 5.79 ms with sixteen. A single bun build with 20,000 macro calls: 41.9 against 40.7 ms (minimum of the runs, the runs spread from 40 to 147 ms). Text size: +2,816 bytes. The later commits add no work to a move except one arena per move.
  • Not changed, the macro modules stay as they were first evaluated: bun --hot (on 1.4.3, five reloads after edits of a macro file returned the first revision), bun test --isolate (the macro VM is the test VM, and swap_global_for_test_isolation keeps vm.macros), rebuilds of one dev server or of bun build --watch (one transpiler, so one build), and a Bun.Transpiler that is used again.
  • Not changed: Bun.build({ features }) does not reach TransformOptions.feature_flags yet (Pass feature flags from Bun.build config to macro modules #41099). A macro module that fails to load in Bun.build() still ends the process, and on a debug build that path hits a JSC API lock assertion. resolver: do not apply user externals to macro imports #40631 fixes the assertion.
  • Found while testing, not part of this change. (1) bun --no-env-file build.ts, where build.ts calls Bun.build() on an entry with a macro, loads the default .env files into the program's process.env (1.4.3 and this branch): the macro VM's transpiler loads them into the loader it borrows, and Bun.build() does not carry the program's env_files and disable_default_env_files. (2) A dev server bundle with three or more client component boundaries reads freed memory in finalize_bundle (src/runtime/bake/DevServer.rs, ASAN heap-use-after-free): the loop over client_components_affected calls trace_dependencies, which pushes to that list. The new bake test uses two client components for that reason. (3) A macro that reads process.env with a computed key reads the VM's env object, which is built once per VM. (4) A macro file that the program creates right before Bun.build() is sometimes reported as Macro "./macro.ts" not found (8 of 30 runs on main). Resolver: run a missed lookup once more at a fresh Generation, with DirInfo and not-found marks under Generation #40279 changes that resolver path.
  • Related open pulls in the same code: macros: run every macro on one dedicated VM thread #40059 moves every macro to one dedicated VM thread. The new tests describe what such a host must keep: each build's macros see that build's options, env and macro files. Bun.build: inline the live process.env for env: "inline" and env: "PREFIX_*" #41927 and worker: resolve fetch() proxy env (and the rest of the env loader) from the worker's own environment #41932 change which env a build and a Worker read. bundler: remove unsafe from bundle_v2, ParseTask, LinkerContext and the bundler thread pool #40438 rewrites parts of bundle_v2.rs and the thread pool. json: build define values in the arena of their owner and stop sharing one static {} #44222 is the repair for the define lists below.
  • MacroImportsPackageMarkedExternal in bundler_edgecase.test.ts no longer pins the CLI backend. Its API variant runs in the test process, on worker VMs that earlier tests' builds created.
  • Memory per move, measured at 974368c on a debug ASAN build: two pool threads, 8 warm-up builds, then RSS growth over 32 builds, one define value. String of 1 MiB: +1.2 MB with a macro, +0.7 MB without (before the arena commit: +63 to +69 MB with a macro). Object of 271 KB: +208 MB with a macro, +69 MB without (before the arena commit: +278 MB). Array of 575 KB: +150 MB with a macro, +46 MB without. The growth without a macro is on main too: Expr::deep_clone puts the lists of such a value on the global heap, one set per build. json: build define values in the arena of their owner and stop sharing one static {} #44222 builds them in the arena that load_defines is given, which here is define_arena.
  • What a move still keeps, located at 974368c on a debug ASAN build, two pool threads, an entry that calls twelve functions of one macro module with three imports. ASAN allocator totals of 400 against 2,400 builds: 24.1 allocations and 6.66 KB kept per build (one function: 2.5 allocations and 2.05 KB). The same with Malloc=1, so none of it is in JSC's heap. The ASAN heap profile after about 780 builds names two holders. (1) 18,656 copies of the 27-byte macro: specifier, 24 per build: _resolve (src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs) copies every macro: specifier into resolved_path_dups, which lives as long as the VM. With the list itself that is about 1.3 KB a build. (2) 33 expression blocks of 90 KB and 45 statement blocks of 24.6 KB in the pool thread's AST store, about 5 KB a build, more in every profile: transpile_source_code (src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs) parses each macro module into that store and asks for a reset first, and the reset is a no-op because MacroContext::call (src/js_parser_jsc/Macro.rs) holds DisableStoreReset for the whole call. On a pool thread every transpile of the macro VM runs inside such a call, so that store never resets. On main the modules are parsed once per VM, so both stay bounded there.
  • Slope over builds 500 to 1500 of one process, before the arena commit: five small macro modules 13.5 KB a build, the same entry without a macro 14.9 (the noise floor of that build), five modules of 100 KB each 13.6, fifty modules 30.8, five modules and a 100 KB string define 111. With the arena commit the last one is 13.0.
  • Two bytecode tests in bun-build-api.test.ts hit the 5 s timeout on an unmodified debug build as well. Unrelated.

A bundler or transpiler worker thread creates its macro VM once and keeps
it for the life of the thread. Only a new VM took the build's transform
options, and JSC's module registry kept the macro modules the first build
evaluated. A later Bun.build() in the same process, or a runtime import
transpiled on that thread, got macro results computed with the first
build's define and loaders.

The VM now records the build whose macros it ran last, by the Arc of
transform options every transpiler of a build shares. A macro load for
another build moves the VM: it rebuilds the transpiler options, drops the
module registry, the require map and the registered macro callbacks, and
loads the defines again. Macro entries in a MacroContext carry the
generation they were loaded under, so an entry that predates such a move
loads again.

The VM keeps a log of its own instead of the first build's log, which is
freed with that build's worker. MacroContext::call moves what the VM
logged into the build's log after each load and each call.

Status: f7b43cd adds the fix for the bake review finding (the graphs of one app are one build to a macro VM), a retry of the define load after a failed macro load, and two tests. All review threads are answered and resolved.

Reproduced: on stock bun 1.4.1, a script that runs Bun.build() 12 times with define: { MY_DEF: '"v<i>"' } on an entry that imports a macro reading MY_DEF. Seven to eight of the outputs contain an earlier build's value. A runtime import() after such a build returns the build's define as well. With UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE=2, every build after the first is stale. A macro file that is edited between two builds is not read again. A Bun.build() from the main thread after a Worker's build with macros segfaults on stock bun.

Tests: test/bundler/transpiler/macro-test.test.ts, five new cases. Four fail on stock bun and pass with this branch. The fifth (define memory) fails on this branch without the define arena. test/bake/dev/bundle.test.ts, one new case. It fails on this branch without c7cda32: one macro VM evaluated the macro module 14 times in 28 macro calls.

Walkthrough

The bundler now resets transform options when macro VMs switch builds. Macro VMs track option generations, reload stale macros, use sanitized build options, and transfer independent VM logs to the build log. Tests cover build-option isolation, memory growth, and runtime imports.

Changes

Macro VM option isolation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Transform option reset
src/bundler/lib.rs, src/bundler/transpiler.rs
The bundler exports options::TransformTarget, centralizes root tsconfig.json application, and adds reset_transform_options. The transpiler manages a separate arena for define allocations after resets.
Macro build serving
src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs
VirtualMachine tracks macro build options and generations. serve_macro_build clears cached callbacks, reloads the module registry, resets transpiler state, and records the new build.
Macro loading and validation
src/js_parser_jsc/Macro.rs, test/bundler/bundler_edgecase.test.ts, test/bundler/transpiler/macro-test.test.ts
Macros use sanitized build options, reload when generations change, and transfer VM logs to the build log. Tests cover backend behavior, sequential build isolation, memory growth, worker-to-main-thread builds, and runtime-import options.

Suggested reviewers: jarred-sumner, dylan-conway

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 97436

The change fixes stale macro results across sequential builds. Only a minor test-ordering nit and an unverified lifetime concern in the macro context remain, so the risk to merging is low.

The Biome failure in the review output is not from this change. Biome does not parse the assert { type: "macro" } import attributes on lines 1, 15 and 17 of macro-test.test.ts, which are on main. No change needed from the review.

Comment thread src/js_parser_jsc/Macro.rs Resolved
The VM kept the env loader of the build that created it. A Worker frees
its loader when it exits, so a later build from another thread that moved
the VM read freed memory in configure_defines, and a macro that read
process.env did the same on an unchanged VM. serve_macro_build now points
the transpiler at the current build's loader first.

A failed move left the VM with the new build's options and the old
build's modules while it still recorded the old build. Dropping the
modules and the registered callbacks first, and recording the build
last, leaves a VM whose move failed on the old build with an empty
registry. Also trims the comments to one line each.

Pushed two follow-up commits.

  • ecc1a48: serve_macro_build points the VM at the build's env loader. A Worker frees its loader when it exits, so a VM that a Worker's build created read freed memory on the next build. New test: a Bun.build() after a Worker's build with macros reads the main thread's env. On stock bun this case segfaults.
  • 826919c: the move drops the callbacks and the module registry first, rebuilds the options second, and records the build last. A move that fails leaves the VM on the old build with an empty registry. Comments trimmed to one line each for the comment checker.

The Biome warning in the summary is the assert { type: "macro" } import syntax on lines 1, 15 and 17, which are on main.

752-752: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Invalidate macro_context before replacing self.options.

MacroContext::init stores a BackRef to Transpiler.options.macro_remap and clones Transpiler.options.transform_options. This assignment drops the old options but retains self.macro_context. A later nested macro parse can dereference the dropped remap or load macros with the prior build options.

Clear and deinitialize macro_context before this assignment. Let the parse path recreate it after the new options are installed.

Proposed fix

+            ctx.deinit();
+        }
         self.options = options::BundleOptions::from_api(self.fs_mut(), self.log, opts)?;

The context copied the previous options and env loader. The next parse
creates a new one against the current ones.

cdd0cee: reset_transform_options now drops the transpiler's macro_context before it replaces options. The context held a clone of the previous build's TransformOptions and its env loader pointer; the next parse creates a new one against the current options. The BackRef into options.macro_remap was not dangling (it points at a field of the by-value struct, whose address does not change), but the copied options and loader were stale.

… leaves

`configure_defines()` allocates what it builds for the `define` table in
the transpiler's arena. That arena lives as long as the VM. A macro VM
that moves to another build replaces the table in
`reset_transform_options()`, and what was allocated for the old table
stayed behind: for a string value, one copy per build and per pool thread.

These allocations now go into an arena of their own, which
`reset_transform_options()` replaces together with the table.

The lists of an object or array value are not in that arena.
`Expr::deep_clone` puts them on the global heap, so they still stay.

A macro load that failed inside configure_defines left the VM with the new
build's options and no defines: the next load for that build saw the same
build and did not load them.

configure_defines is a no-op once the defines are loaded, so Macro::init
calls it at every load of a macro VM. serve_macro_build no longer reports
whether it moved the VM.
A macro VM tells builds apart by the Arc<TransformOptions> of the transpiler
that calls it. Each bake graph transpiler had an Arc of its own, so a worker
thread's macro VM moved on every switch between a server file and a client
file: it dropped its modules and loaded its options again each time.

The server, client and SSR transpilers of one app now share one Arc.
BundleV2::init asserts it in debug builds.
…r thread

The define value memory test now checks the growth, stderr and the exit
code in one toEqual.

A bun whose macro VMs never drop their modules passes the test as well.
It fails when each graph of a bake app counts as a build of its own.
