Problem

• The global console writes a message while it formats it. With a hook that logs from inspect.custom, console.log("a", hook, "b") prints a inner 1 / custom b. Node prints inner 1 / a custom b.
• A hook that throws leaves a partial line. message_with_type_and_level_ (src/jsc/ConsoleObject.rs:421) holds the stream mutex while hooks run, so two threads whose hooks log to the other stream deadlock.

Fix

• emit holds each message: 4096 bytes of stack, then up to 64 KiB of heap. It writes the message under the mutex when formatting ends, or never if formatting failed.
• A message over 64 KiB takes the mutex once and goes out in blocks. A call with only primitive arguments runs no user code and is written as on main.
• Verified: test/js/web/console/ and dots.test.ts (22 tests fail on main). Also the inspect, REPL, bun test and Node test-console-* suites.
• Self-reviewed: 43 concerns raised, 41 addressed. The 2 kept are orderings under bun test, with the reasons in Notes.

Background

• emit and its 64 KiB bound come from early revisions of console: output goes behind what process.stdout/stderr have buffered, as in Node #37128.
• Considered a buffer for the nested call only: a throw still leaves a partial line. Considered no bound: a 208 MB dump takes about 500 MB of RSS, not 40 MB.

Downsides

• Past 64 KiB a nested call is still printed inside the message, and the deadlock above stays. console.count, timeLog and timeEnd of another thread now wait for such a message.
• console.log("label", str, obj) copies a string of 4 KB to 64 KiB once: +1,010 instructions at 20 KB (+0.5%). Primitives only, over 4096 bytes: +16 to +33.
• Stack: +4,208 bytes per console call in progress. Hook nesting before RangeError goes from 1227 to 610. .text: +6,912 bytes.

Notes

Repro

const custom = Symbol.for("nodejs.util.inspect.custom");
console.log("a", { [custom]() { console.log("inner", 1); return "custom"; } }, "b");
try {
  console.log("before", { [custom]() { throw new Error("boom"); } });
} catch {}
console.log("next");

	stdout
main	a inner 1, custom b, before next
this PR	inner 1, a custom b, next
Node v26.3.0	inner 1, a custom b, next

Of 32 probe scripts (hooks that log, throw, exit, open a group), 22 print Node's line order with whole lines. On main 6 do. The other 10 differ in what a value prints as, in which call throws, in the uncaught-error output, in when the group indent is read, and in the stream of console.timeLog (stdout in Node).

How emit holds a message

state	where the bytes are	when they reach the fd
Stage	4096 bytes on the frame of the console call	at the end, in one write
Heap	a buffer that the VM keeps, up to 64 KiB	at the end: the message, then its last byte
Streaming	a 64 KiB block of the VM	block by block, under the mutex taken once
Direct	the stage, and the memory of a long string	as produced, under the mutex taken once

• Direct is only for a console.log-type call (log, info, debug, warn, error) whose arguments are all strings, numbers, booleans, undefined or null. No format specifier runs user code for these, also when toJSON, toString and valueOf of their prototypes are replaced. So console.log("label", str) writes a long string from its own memory, with no copy. A BigInt and a Symbol are not in the list: %j calls toJSON for a BigInt, and %s throws for a Symbol. console.trace is excluded: it reads the stack of an Error after it formats its arguments.
• The rule for primitive arguments comes from the branch robobun/514ad535/console-deliver-message-once (see its comment on this PR). That branch holds every message with no bound and keeps the bytes in the console of the VM.
• A message that ends inside a streaming message of the same VM (a hook that logs) first writes the pending blocks of both streams. So its output is printed where the hook ran.
• When formatting throws past 64 KiB, the bytes that are out stay, and the pending block is written.
• process.exit() inside a hook of a streaming message writes the pending block and gives the mutex back. Before, a Worker that waited for the mutex blocked an exit that joins the Workers (BUN_DESTRUCT_VM_ON_EXIT=1).
• The per-thread lock counters and the two 4096-byte buffers of ConsoleObject are gone. size_of::<ConsoleObject>() goes from 8,384 to 176 bytes. Lines that match unsafe in ConsoleObject.rs: 40 before and after.

Why a message over 4096 bytes ends with a write of its last byte alone

• process.stdout makes fd 1 nonblocking. process.stdout.write queues the bytes that find no room in a pipe. The console waits for room. So a queued write is printed after later console messages. console: output goes behind what process.stdout/stderr have buffered, as in Node #37128 is about this.
• A write of more than one page can leave the last page of a pipe full. A small write then needs a free page. On main every message over 4096 bytes ends with a small write (the rest of the 4096-byte buffer), which waits for that page.
• emit keeps this: the last byte of such a message is a write of its own. With one write for the whole message, the loop below printed 132 to 198 of 400 after lines in the wrong place behind a slow reader. With the last byte alone it prints 0, as main does.

const s = Buffer.alloc(9000, "m").toString();
for (let i = 0; i < 400; i++) { console.log(s, i); process.stdout.write("after " + i + "\n"); }

Measurements (Linux x64, release builds of main 11c3671 and of this PR on that base, same session)

The branch is now rebased onto 57f4f19. The rebase changes no line that this PR adds. The instruction, write and size numbers are from a build with the bun test hook in its final place. After that build the PR changed only in comments, a debug assertion and tests. The allocator, memory and thread numbers are from the build before the hook moved. The hook commit does not change those paths.

Instructions per call: user space, JIT off, output to /dev/null, perf_event_open over 2N calls minus N calls, the lowest of 3 runs for each count. N is 200,000 to 1,000,000 for the short calls and 30 to 5,000 for the large ones.

• Allocator calls of the Rust side per console call in steady state (ASAN statistics of debug builds) are the same on both builds. They are 0 for hello, object, count, timeLog, the nested pair, objects of 5 KB to 1 MiB and strings of 5 KB and 20 KB. console.table makes 4 and console.trace makes 2 on both builds. The first message of a VM over 4096 bytes allocates the buffer that the VM keeps: 1 more allocator call than main for a 5 KB object, 4 more for 60 KB and for 1 MiB.
• Memory: a 208 MB console.dir has a max RSS of 35 to 40 MB on both builds, and completes under ulimit -d 300000 on both. The emulation of no bound (Bun.inspect, then one write) has a max RSS of 504 to 566 MB.
• Threads: a Worker calls console.count while the main thread prints 55 KB objects. On main 863,236 of 953,758 Worker lines are inside a message of the main thread. With this PR 0 of 258,915 are. For console.log from the Worker the number is 0 on both.
• Stack: the distance between two nested console calls goes from 4,160 to 8,368 bytes. Hook nesting before RangeError goes from 1227 to 610. Node v26.3.0 stops at 97.
• Size: .text 108,646,665 to 108,653,577 bytes. The stripped binary grows by 8,192 bytes.
• The bun test hook: one byte store, one byte load and one branch per console call, for the flag that says which calls run it. The table above includes them.

Tests

• console-log.test.ts has 21 new tests. On main 16 of them fail. So do the new test in console-timeLog.test.ts, the 3 new tests in dots.test.ts, and both tests of console-recursive.test.ts.
• One of the 16 is a race by nature: "console.count and console.timeLog of another thread do not land inside a message". It passes on every build that has the fix. On main it failed in every run on 12 cores, and in 5 of 6 runs on one core.
• 5 new tests pass on main too. They check behaviour that must not change: messages of 4094 to 4098 bytes, messages over 64 KiB that arrive complete through a nonblocking pipe, and the stream mutex given back after a message over 64 KiB (seen from a second thread, also when a Worker exits or is terminated inside a hook).
• One test in dots.test.ts has a Worker inside a stderr message over 64 KiB while the main thread prints to stderr. The reporter's line feed for the main thread must come after the message of the Worker. Main passes these rounds. It fails the rounds where the hook of the Worker prints: there main writes the line feed before the pending bytes of the outer message.
• The test of write(2) counts needs /proc/thread-self/io and runs on Linux only.
• console-log.test.ts now runs under LeakSanitizer: its line is removed from test/no-validate-leaksan.txt. The line came with the first list (ci: instrument being able to run leaksanitizer #21142, September 2025), in the group "error exit root cause unclear". It was stale. Main's version of the file passes with the environment of the ASAN lane (BUN_DESTRUCT_VM_ON_EXIT=1, detect_leaks=1) on a debug build of main at 367d939, with no LeakSanitizer report. Which earlier change removed the error exit is not known. With this PR the ASAN lane ran the file under LeakSanitizer in three CI runs, and it passed each time.
• Also run on the debug build: test/js/bun/console/, test/js/node/console/, test/cli/console-depth.test.ts, test/js/bun/util/inspect-error.test.js, inspect.test.js, the REPL and run-eval suites, worker.test.ts and the 16 Node test-console-*.js files. Three tests time out at the 5 s default there, on a debug build of main too: one console.table test that runs full GCs, and two terminate() tests of worker.test.ts.
• test/internal/source-lints/ passes (run with the release build). bun_jsc and bun_runtime type-check for x86_64-pc-windows-msvc and aarch64-apple-darwin.

Behaviour that changes besides the order

• A message whose formatting returns an error prints nothing, as in Node. Before, the part before the throw was printed with no line feed.
• Two formatter paths report no error and still print, as on main: an Error value whose own property throws (inspect-error.test.js pins error: boom), and a JSX element whose children throws.
• console.timeLog with an argument that throws prints nothing. On main it prints the line up to that argument. Past 64 KiB main ends that partial line with a line feed, and this PR does not. Its line is now one write(2), not 2.
• When process.exit() runs inside a hook, main prints the 4096-byte pieces that it wrote before the hook. This PR prints nothing of a message up to 64 KiB. Of a longer message it prints all that was formatted before the hook.
• bun -p of a value whose formatting throws prints nothing. On main it prints the part before the throw. Both exit with 0. bun -p/--print: report a throw raised while formatting the result #37173 reports the throw.
• console.count, console.timeLog and console.timeEnd take the stream mutex for their write. Two threads that are both inside messages over 64 KiB, and whose hooks call one of them on the other stream, can now deadlock. With console.log in the hooks this is the same as on main.
• Under bun test, a console call tells the reporter that output follows (the line of dots ends, the file header is printed). On main this ran under the stream mutex of the call, before the message was formatted. It now runs when the first byte of the message is about to reach the fd, under the stream mutex of the message. So for a call that prints to stderr, the reporter's output does not land inside a stderr message of another thread, as on main.
• A message that is not printed (its formatting threw) does not tell the reporter. It does not end the line of dots, and it prints no file header.
• Output that user code writes while a message is formatted, and that does not tell the reporter (process.stderr.write, fs.writeSync, console.count), is now before the reporter's line feed and file header. On main it was after them. The output of a console call from a hook is still after them.
• A lock in console_on_before_print serializes the calls of two threads that print to different streams. On main both ended the line of dots, and a test in dots.test.ts fails there. The lock covers console calls only. The test thread changes the same reporter state with no lock, as on main. So a Worker that logs while the runner leaves its test file can still read state that the test thread frees.

Not covered

• A message over 64 KiB: a nested call is still printed inside it, a throw leaves the bytes that are out, and the mutex is held across its hooks. Two threads that are both inside such messages, and whose hooks log to the other stream, still deadlock, as on main. The rule past 64 KiB is an open question on console: output goes behind what process.stdout/stderr have buffered, as in Node #37128.
• The group indent is read before the message is formatted. A hook that opens or closes a group does not move the outer line, as in Node it does. This belongs with the write-time indent of console.group: indent count, time, assert, table and each line of a message #47019.
• When a console.group label throws, the group still opens, as on main (console.group: do not start the group when its label throws #47095). The label is not printed now, so that group has no header.
• The bun test file header before console.count, timeLog, timeEnd and a bare console.assert (bun test: print the file header before console.count, timeEnd, timeLog and a bare assert #47065). This PR calls the hook where main calls it.
• Under bun test, a call that prints to stdout tells the reporter with the stdout mutex held, and the reporter writes to stderr. So its line feed or file header can land inside a stderr message of another thread, as on main. console.error() and console.warn() with no arguments print on stdout, so this applies to them too. On main they told the reporter under the stderr mutex. The reporter's own output (dots, status lines) takes no stream mutex, as on main.
• console.clear() takes the stdout mutex and writes through Output.
• console.error() and console.warn() with no arguments print their line feed on stdout, as on main. Node prints it on stderr. console: output goes behind what process.stdout/stderr have buffered, as in Node #37128 changes that.
• Output that does not go through the console (process.stdout.write, fs.writeSync) from a hook inside a message over 64 KiB can be printed up to 65,536 bytes before the hook. On main the bound is 4,096 bytes.
• The uncaught-error printer (src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs) formats into the shared Output buffer. A thrown value over 4096 bytes whose hook logs is still split there, as on main.
• %j of a cyclic value (console: print [Circular] for %j of a cyclic value #45325), and the text that console.timeEnd prints (console.timeEnd behaviour different in bun from node #12031).

Other open PRs in this file

• bun test --isolate: reset the console group depth, count totals and timers between files #47132 adds ConsoleObject::reset_for_test_isolation at the end of impl ConsoleObject. An earlier revision of this PR had impl Cursor at that place, and git put the new function there. Cursor is now defined above ConsoleObject. The two PRs merge with no conflict, and the merged tree type-checks (cargo check -p bun_jsc -p bun_runtime).
• console: output goes behind what process.stdout/stderr have buffered, as in Node #37128 (stdio ordering) is where emit, ConsoleWriter and SPILL_AT first appeared (90e0621 to a41ced3) and were removed again (9033ecd). The sink in this PR is new code: it adds the stack stage, the one-string path and the block for messages over 64 KiB. It has one target, the fd.
• console.group: do not start the group when its label throws #47095 and bun test: print the file header before console.count, timeEnd, timeLog and a bare assert #47065 touch the same functions. This PR keeps main's behaviour in both places. The three do not depend on each other, but the ones that land later need a rebase.
• console.group: indent count, time, assert, table and each line of a message #47019 wraps each producer in a group-indent writer. After this PR that is one wrap inside emit.
• worker_threads: start a node worker natively and build its stdio on first use #47052 and worker_threads: keep the native console in workers, routed through process.stdout/stderr #39592 route the console of a Worker.

Every other nested call has been printed inside the outer line since 1.0.24. No release printed nothing on a throw.
• Bun hangs if console.log is called while inspecting a Set or Map #8153 reported a hang when a Map or Set hook logs, and fix: Hang when recursively logging via ConsoleObject.messageWithTypeAndLevel  #8213 ended the hang.

Walkthrough

Console output now uses staged formatting, per-stream locks, and streaming writes for large messages. Console methods and formatter callers use the updated output path. VM exit abandons pending messages. Tests cover formatting errors, nested logging, message-size boundaries, and concurrent output.

Changes

Console output

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Staged console writer src/jsc/ConsoleObject.rs, src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs	ConsoleObject adds per-stream buffering and locking. Messages are staged before writing, and large messages stream in blocks. VM exit abandons pending messages.
Console methods and formatter integration src/jsc/ConsoleObject.rs, src/jsc/web_worker.rs, src/runtime/api/BunObject.rs, src/runtime/cli/repl.rs	Console methods route output through the writer. FormatOptions::flush is removed, formatter output uses the supplied writer, custom inspection string conversion errors propagate, and count, timeEnd, and timeLog emit through the console path. Related callers remove flush settings.
Formatting and stream output tests test/js/web/console/console-log.test.ts, test/js/web/console/console-recursive.test.ts, test/no-validate-leaksan.txt	Tests check reentrant formatting, formatting errors, output boundaries, large messages, recursive output, and stream contents. The console log test is removed from the LeakSanitizer exclusion list.
Concurrent output tests test/js/web/console/console-log.test.ts, test/js/web/console/console-timeLog.test.ts, test/js/bun/test/dots.test.ts, src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs	Worker, timer, and --dots tests check output ordering, stream contents, and process status during concurrent or nested logging. The before-print hook serializes the test reporter callback.

Status

• Reproduced on main 11c3671 with the script under Notes in the description. A console call made from an inspect.custom hook is printed inside the outer line (a inner 1, then custom b). A hook that throws leaves before with no line feed. Node v26.3.0 prints inner 1, then a custom b, and nothing for the message that throws.
• PR: console: hold each message until it is formatted, then write it whole #47167

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

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the new emit paths in src/jsc/ConsoleObject.rs for regressions and found none: the Direct hold is only entered for a MessageType::Log call whose single argument is a string literal, so no user code can re-enter while that message holds the stream mutex without a block; abandon_messages (called from VirtualMachine::global_exit) flushes pending blocks and releases only the mutexes this VM's locked flags mark as held; and the ConsoleWriter stage pointer never escapes emit's frame (every held() slice is consumed inside finish before the frame returns). The FormatOptions.flush removal was traced to all five call sites in web_worker.rs, BunObject.rs and repl.rs.

Extended reasoning...

The change rewrites the console output sink in src/jsc/ConsoleObject.rs (stage/heap/streaming/direct holds, per-VM lock flags, abandon_messages on exit) and touches no auth, crypto or input-parsing surface. Inline findings were posted, so this body only records the additional concerns examined and ruled out; a human should still weigh the inline findings and the unsafe pointer-based writer design.

[robobun]

The branch robobun/514ad535/console-deliver-message-once fixes the same two defects as this PR. It came from a report of the half-written line: try { console.log([1, thrower]) } catch {}, then console.log("NEXT") prints [ 1, NEXT. This PR already covers that report, so I do not open a second PR.

The diff in one line: a message whose formatting can run user code is staged in a per-VM stack of bytes (4096 bytes per stream, then 64 KiB blocks) and written once by deliver(), with no bound on its size.

What differs from this PR. The numbers are from release builds of main 11c3671 and of that branch:

• No 64 KiB bound. A message whose formatting throws writes nothing at any size, and a nested message comes first at any size. The price is memory. The blocks hold the message once, so console.log({ body }) with a 64 MiB string adds 67 MiB of peak RSS (main: under 2 MiB).
• The bytes are staged in the console of the VM, not on the frame of the call. The printer frame grows by 80 bytes (472 to 552).
• A message writes through a full buffer when all its arguments are strings, numbers, booleans, undefined or null. That is decided when the buffer first fills. console.log("label", str) makes no copy at any size.
• bun --print of a value whose formatting throws reports the error and exits with 1.
• The stream lock stays as on main. The branch does not have the lock changes of this PR.
• Instructions inside the printer (gdb stepi): console.log('hello') 891 to 860, console.error(json) of bench/snippets/console-log.mjs 118,975 to 106,152. .text grows by 4,864 bytes.

test/js/web/console/console-print-fails.fixture.js on the branch has 39 rows: 12 console methods, 8 throw sources, text of 4,000 to 100,000 bytes before the throw, and 12 nested cases. Node v26.3.0 prints the same stdout and stderr for it. Take what is useful.

I reviewed the two commits pushed since my last review and found no bugs; given the size of the unsafe rewrite in src/jsc/ConsoleObject.rs, a human look at the whole change is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed in this push:

• The new primitives-only Direct path (runs_no_user_code, src/jsc/ConsoleObject.rs:397): traced %s, %d/%i, %f, %o/%O and %j over string/number/boolean/undefined/null — each coerces without entering JS, so no console call can start inside such a message.
• finish for Hold::Direct releases the stream mutex on the throw path as well, and enter_stream reuses an outer streaming message's lock on the same stream rather than re-locking.
• d7127ad is a pure relocation of Cursor; the syscall-count test keeps its held-path cases (by adding []) and adds a primitives only variant alongside rather than replacing them.

Extended reasoning...

Since the prior review, cec8b7b extends the no-copy Direct path from a single primitive string to any console.log-type call whose arguments are all strings, numbers, booleans, undefined or null, and d7127ad moves the Cursor type above ConsoleObject with no semantic change. The change touches no auth, crypto or injection surface; it is a per-VM console sink built on raw pointers into a stack stage and reusable Vecs plus two non-recursive static stream mutexes. The overall PR remains a ~1000-line rewrite of a hot unsafe path with lock bookkeeping across process.exit and worker termination, which is too large and subtle to approve without a human. The four pre-existing inline notes from the prior run were resolved by the author, and the new commits only acknowledge (in a comment) rather than change the test-thread locking gap.

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

Beyond the inline findings, I checked the latest commit that moves the bun test hook into before_first_write: it fires exactly once per message on each of the Stage (deliver), Heap (deliver/deliver_inside), Streaming (start_streaming -> enter_stream) and Direct (enter_stream) paths, always before the first fd write, and the hook's static lock is a leaf (it writes through Output, never a stream mutex), so no new lock order is introduced.

Extended reasoning...

The newest push (cab6c99) addresses the previously flagged hook placement by calling before_print under the message's stream mutex; the two inline findings this run (the leaksan exclusion removal and the group-indent on a throwing label) remain for the author. The rest of the diff is unchanged since the prior review.

Rebased onto main (57f4f19). The PR applies again.

• One conflict, in src/jsc/ConsoleObject.rs. Remove 166 unsafe blocks by borrowing and by naming the lifetimes that values already have #47291 rewrote the tail of ConsoleObject::init, the part that sets the two writer adapters. This PR replaces init with ConsoleObject::new, which has no adapters, so the rebase keeps this PR's side. Remove 166 unsafe blocks by borrowing and by naming the lifetimes that values already have #47291 changed nothing else in that file.
• On a debug build of 57f4f19 with this branch and four other open PRs merged in: test/js/web/console/console-log.test.ts (28 pass), console-recursive.test.ts (2 pass), console-timeLog.test.ts (4 pass) and test/js/bun/test/dots.test.ts (6 pass). cargo check -p bun_runtime passes on this branch alone.

I re-reviewed the latest push and found no new bugs; the move of the bun test hook under the stream mutex (before_first_write in deliver, deliver_inside and enter_stream) addresses the ordering I raised earlier. Because this is still a ~950-line rewrite of the console's lock handoff, raw-pointer buffers and Worker-shared stream mutexes, a maintainer's look at the design would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed on this push: the four finish paths (Stage, Direct, Heap, Streaming) for a balanced lock/unlock on both the Ok and Err returns of format; abandon_messages from global_exit releasing only mutexes this VM holds; before_print now running only after the mutex is taken and before the first fd write on every path.

Extended reasoning...

The PR replaces the buffered per-stream writers and the reentrant ConsoleStreamLock in src/jsc/ConsoleObject.rs with a per-call ConsoleWriter that stages each message (4 KiB stack, then heap to 64 KiB, then streaming blocks under the stream mutex) and writes it whole after formatting, plus small changes to VirtualMachine.rs, jsc_hooks.rs and ~1,000 lines of tests. It touches no auth, crypto or injection surface, but it hand-rolls non-reentrant mutex acquisition around user JS and holds raw pointers into a stack stage and a Vec across formatting. The latest commit addresses the one open ordering issue from the prior review and the hunt ran dry with no findings, which rules out silence as a repeat; the size, the unsafe/mutex design and the fact that all earlier threads were author-resolved are what keep this at defer rather than approve.
