Problem

• new SourceMap({version: 3, sources: [], mappings: "igggggggA"}) throws SyntaxError: Missing generated column value at 0. A // @bun file warns Could not decode sourcemap in '…': MissingGeneratedColumnValue. ECMA-426 and Node accept it.
• vlq::decode (src/base64/lib.rs) reads at most 8 digits. No issue reports this: the only input is the tc39 test validMappingLargeVLQ.

Fix

• After 8 digits, decode calls the cold decode_long, which reads to the terminal digit. A value over 32 bits or a non-base64 byte fails. Results up to 8 digits do not change.
• First commit (no behavior change): the 8 inline digits are written out. With main's loop, the call costs 31 to 40% more.
• Verified: test/js/node/module/sourcemap.test.js, sourcemap-simd.test.ts (7 tests fail on main), bun_base64 unit tests, test/js/bun/sourcemap/.
• Self-reviewed: 15 concerns raised, 12 addressed. Rejected (Notes): two PRs, tc39 table test, no isDebug line.

Background

• A base64 VLQ is one number in mappings. Each digit has 5 payload bits and a continuation bit, so g (no payload) is padding.
• Only new SourceMap and // @bun remapping read maps from other tools.
• Rejected: a retry in mapping::parse (from_vlq keeps the limit), an unbounded loop (never unrolled).

Downsides

• Size: +2,304 B of release text (linux-x64).
• Speed: a VLQ of 7 or 8 digits (a delta of 2^29 or more, or padding) costs up to 9 more instructions on arm64, 3 on x64. Shorter VLQs cost fewer.
• Stricter than Node, as on main: a value over 32 bits fails in 9+ digits and wraps in fewer. One rule needs a maintainer decision.

Notes

Who needs this

• Nobody has asked for it. No issue mentions Missing generated column value or a long VLQ. Encoders write the shortest form, which is at most 7 digits for a 32-bit value.
• 5,489 source maps from node_modules on the build machine (22.8 million VLQs) have no VLQ of more than 5 digits.
• The reason to change it is conformance. ECMA-426 has no limit on the digit count (VlqDigitList), and the tc39 test suite that Bun vendors under test/js/node/test/fixtures/test426 marks validMappingLargeVLQ valid. Node's driver for that suite (test/test426/test-source-map-spec.mjs at v26.3.0, not vendored) run with bun test: 93 of 99 pass on main, 94 with this PR. The 5 that remain are 4 index maps and sourcesNullSourcesContentNonNull. No vendored Node test changes.
• esbuild's DecodeVLQ has no digit limit either. The limit of 8 is a hint for the optimizer from 2022. sourcemap: fail on a truncated base64 VLQ instead of decoding it as 0 #31506 made the fall-through a failure for a truncated VLQ, and 9 or more digits went with it. sourcemap: SIMD mappings VLQ decode via Highway #32556 pinned that in a test, so that the SIMD kernel and the scalar loop report the same error. Neither decides that a long VLQ has to fail.
• A caller can remove the padding before new SourceMap. That does not reach the remapping of a // @bun file.
• If this is not wanted, the first commit is still a standalone change: it removes the PERF: loop is not unrolled note on main.

What changes for a caller

mappings	main	this PR	Node 26.3
9 or more base64 digits, value fits in 32 bits (AAAigggggggA)	Missing original column value at 3	original column 1	1
the same, value does not fit (AAAggggggggB)	Missing original column value at 3	the same error	128 (wraps)
the same with a byte that is not base64, or with no terminal digit	error	the same error	0
minus zero in 9 or more digits (AAAhggggggggA)	error	0, as the short form B	-2147483648
any VLQ of up to 8 digits		no change

• Rows 2 and 3 are stricter than Node. They are the errors of main, and ECMA-426 has them too (VLQUnsignedValue throws at 2^32).
• The open question for a maintainer is the value rule. Today a value over 32 bits wraps in up to 8 digits (AAAggggggE is 0, and the five tc39 …Exceeding32Bits tests pass new SourceMap). One rule for every digit count is one condition in the digit! macro plus a check in the SIMD kernel, which decodes VLQs of 7 sextets itself. It changes what main and Node accept, so it is not in this PR.
• decode_assume_valid keeps the limit. It reads only the output of VLQ::encode, and a debug assertion now says so.
• The SIMD kernel (highway_sourcemap.cpp) changes in two comments only. It reads at most 7 sextets per VLQ and hands a longer one to the scalar loop.

Tests

• sourcemap.test.js: 8, 9, 13 and 1987 digits in each of the five fields, the tc39 fixture, six long VLQs that still fail, and error.stack of a // @bun file.
• sourcemap-simd.test.ts: the test that pinned the rejection of ggggggggAAAA keeps its input and now expects rows. A new test decodes 464 strings in one child per mode. 400 of them have one long VLQ in the first segment that the kernel cannot decode: each field, 2 and 3 fields, 8 to 13 digits, and values that do not fit. SIMD and scalar results must be equal. Each scalar result is pinned: a padded +1 must decode like C, and the other cases have an exact error or the entries of a short reference segment. In a debug build the kernel must stop exactly at that segment. A kernel with the 1-field guard relaxed from 7 to 10 sextets fails this test and passed every test before it.
• That file now runs its tests one at a time under a debug build. Two children per test, all tests at once, do not fit the default timeout there (it passed 1 of 6 runs), and test/cli/run/run-autoinstall.test.ts does the same for the same reason. test(node:module): decode the SIMD sourcemap scenarios in two children instead of 48 #38204 restructures the file to two children and removes the need for this line. Whichever lands second ports the other's change.
• Not added: a test over the whole tc39 table. It is a separate test-only change (4 index map cases need sections support first).
• bun_base64 unit tests (native and Miri): padded values, the vectors that fail, and the three leniencies of up to 8 digits.

Checks beyond the test files

• The new decoder against the decoder of main on 110.9 million inputs (all byte strings of up to 3 bytes, small alphabets up to 15 bytes, long runs, random): the first commit gives the same result on all of them. The second commit differs on 52,639, all of them complete VLQs of 9 or more digits that fit in 32 bits, and the value matches a reference decoder.
• 78,320 mappings strings through new SourceMap in release builds, with and without the SIMD kernel: main and this PR differ on 1,951. 1,196 now decode. 28 fail at a later segment. 727 fail at the same offset with the range error of that field (a long VLQ for -1 gives Invalid original column value at 3).
• internalSourceMap.fromVLQ reads 9, 13 and 1987 digits in each field (checked by hand, same decoder).

Measurements (linux x64 release builds with LTO: main 11c3671, the first commit on it, both commits on it)

perf and valgrind are not on the machine. Whole-process numbers come from perf_event_open (user instructions, minimum of 5 interleaved runs). Function numbers come from single-stepping each function (out-of-line callees not counted) on fixed inputs of 1000 or 2000 segments.

• Long VLQ path: a map where each segment has one 9-digit VLQ costs 3.4x the instructions of the same map in canonical form (471,305 against 139,305 for 1000 segments). One VLQ of 10^5, 10^6 and 10^7 digits: 25.8, 25.4 and 25.4 instructions per byte for the whole process, so the time is linear.
• arm64, and VLQs of 7 and 8 digits: see the next section.

arm64, and VLQs of 7 and 8 digits

The arm64 release artifacts of CI were not available to the machine that ran the measurements. These numbers come from a cross-compile of the Rust crates, with e084c83 as main:

• Each crate is built for the target with the rustflags of its release build. lld runs ThinLTO over the crates at the level of the release link (--lto-O2 on linux, --lto-O3 on macOS).
• For the counts, a static executable calls the real mapping::parse and from_vlq. qemu-aarch64 logs each instruction inside the function. "macOS flags" means -Ctarget-cpu=apple-m1 and --lto-O3 in a linux ELF file, because qemu cannot run a Mach-O file.
• The method is checked on x64. The same steps give all 12 mapping::parse numbers of main and the PR in the x64 table, to the instruction. They also give the table loads and variable shifts of the x64 release binaries.

Decoder shape, table loads / variable shifts over the 20 sites, main -> PR: linux-aarch64 139 / 2 -> 161 / 0, darwin-aarch64 139 / 2 -> 162 / 0. Per function, the table loads and variable shifts are those of the x64 line above. The one exception is append_source_map_chunk on darwin-aarch64, with 34 loads. No site has a variable shift.

• mapping::parse, PR against main, the five maps of 1 to 5 digits: -0.9% to -6.3% (linux flags), -2.8% to -7.8% (macOS flags). The 7-digit map: +2.3% and +1.5%.
• from_vlq, PR against main, all six maps: -9.6% to -27.3% (linux flags), -5.2% to -22.3% (macOS flags).
• Tail by itself (PR against first commit) on the five maps of 1 to 5 digits: 0 instructions with linux flags, -2 per segment with macOS flags.

By digit count: 1000 segments, each with three k-digit VLQs (original line, original column, name index). Instructions per segment inside mapping::parse, PR against main:

k	x64	arm64, linux flags	arm64, macOS flags
1	-6	-1	-4
2	-10	-4	-7
3	-11	-4	-7
4	-12	-4	-7
5	-13	-4	-7
6	-15	-5	-7
7	-7	+6	+4
8 (one padding digit)	+9	+28	+26

• The costs at 7 and 8 digits come from the tail. On arm64 the first commit by itself is 1 to 4 instructions per segment below main at every k.
• The cause on arm64 is the call to decode_long. The register allocator saves registers on the stack before the call is certain. It saves 5 in the block of the 7th digit at the name index site, and 4 in the block of the 8th digit at two other sites.
• One 7-digit VLQ, against main: 7 to 9 more instructions in the name index field, 2 to 6 fewer in the original line and original column fields. One 8-digit VLQ: 5 to 9 more.
• A 7-digit VLQ is a delta of 2^29 or more. An 8-digit VLQ is never the shortest form. The 5,489 maps of the corpus have no VLQ of more than 5 digits.
• Not measured on arm64: SourceMapPieces::finalize and append_source_map_chunk (shape only), and whole-process counts.

Three other shapes were built and measured the same way, and all lost:

• The call to decode_long after the loop of main, with no first commit: the loop is then unrolled at 1 of the 5 sites in mapping::parse (shape 12/7/4) and at none in from_vlq. mapping::parse runs 31 to 40% more instructions than on main.
• Each no-progress return builds its own VLQResult: the call sites test start again after every field, +12 instructions per 4-field segment.
• One shared exit block for the inline digits and decode_long: mapping::parse is 4.6% above main on the 7-digit input.

Self-review: what was not done

• Two PRs, with the fix held back: the first commit exists to make the second one free, and the body says what each commit is. A maintainer can take the first alone.
• A test over the whole tc39 table in this PR: see Tests.
• Removal of the isDebug line: see Tests.

Related to #36582, which lists validMappingLargeVLQ as a valid tc39 map that still does not decode.

Walkthrough

The scalar VLQ decoder processes inputs longer than eight digits. Source-map SIMD parsing routes single-field VLQs longer than seven sextets to scalar decoding. Tests cover long values, malformed mappings, and stack-trace remapping.

Changes

VLQ Source Map Decoding

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Scalar VLQ decoding src/base64/lib.rs	The decoder processes the first eight digits directly and uses long-input decoding for longer values. Tests cover termination, overflow, and payload behavior.
SIMD fallback and comparisons src/jsc/bindings/highway_sourcemap.cpp, test/js/node/module/sourcemap-simd.test.ts	Single-field VLQs longer than seven sextets use scalar decoding. The SIMD test harness compares scalar and SIMD results for long VLQs and checks malformed cases.
SourceMap long-VLQ coverage test/js/node/module/sourcemap.test.js	Tests cover long VLQs across segment fields, the TC39 fixture, malformed mappings, and stack-trace remapping.

Suggested reviewers: jarred-sumner, alii

Priority: Normal

Merge Risk: Low · up to ef8a8

Status: ready for review. The diff is green on every CI job that ran. One macOS x64 test job did not get an agent.

Reproduction on main (release build of 11c3671) and on Bun 1.4.3-canary.1:

const { SourceMap } = require("node:module");
new SourceMap({ version: 3, sources: [], mappings: "igggggggA" });
// SyntaxError: Missing generated column value at 0

Node v26.3.0 constructs the same map. With this PR the map decodes. Seven tests in test/js/node/module/sourcemap.test.js and test/js/node/module/sourcemap-simd.test.ts fail on main and pass here.

CI on 62f719d (build 135307):

• 187 of 188 jobs passed: every build lane, every Linux and Windows test job, the 4 macOS aarch64 test jobs, and 3 of the 4 macOS x64 test jobs.
• Each test that failed passed on its retry. None is a source map test.
• The build is red because of one job: darwin any x64 - test-bun. No agent took it, it expired at 18:06 UTC, and it did not go back into the queue. It never ran a test.
• The macOS test queue was slow for all pull request builds at that time. The other macOS jobs of this build waited 3 to 4 hours and expired up to three times before they ran.

A retry of that one job is the step that remains for a green build.

No new build was started for this. One agent runs almost all macOS x64 test jobs, and pull request builds wait for it for hours. At 00:20 and at 05:30 UTC on Oct 30, no macOS x64 test job of a recent pull request build had started, and many had expired. A new build would wait in the same queue.

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

Beyond the inline nit, I also checked a few things and ruled them out: the unrolled digit! path keeps the old shift semantics for digits 1-8 ((5*i) & 31 matches the old shift & 31, so the 7th-digit drop and 8th-digit wrap are unchanged); decode_long stops at the first non-base64 byte or at the first digit that pushes the value past 32 bits, so an adversarial run of g bytes is scanned once and then the parse fails rather than going quadratic; and the new debug_assert!(!ASSERT_VALID) can only be reached from SourceMapPieces::finalize and append_source_map_chunk in src/sourcemap/lib.rs, both of which read printer-generated mappings, not user maps. The PR itself leaves the over-32-bit value rule (wrap in <=8 digits, fail in 9+) to a maintainer, so a human look is still worthwhile.

Extended reasoning...

The change rewrites the scalar source-map VLQ decoder in src/base64/lib.rs (hand-unrolled 8-digit fast path plus a cold decode_long tail with a u64 accumulator and 32-bit overflow check), touches only comments in the SIMD kernel src/jsc/bindings/highway_sourcemap.cpp, and adds Rust unit tests and bun:test coverage in test/js/node/module/sourcemap.test.js and sourcemap-simd.test.ts. The code parses untrusted mappings strings from user source maps; bounds checks are explicit on every digit and the long path terminates on delimiters, invalid bytes or overflow. It is a hot-path behavior change with an open design question the author explicitly leaves to a maintainer, so it is not a candidate for bot approval.

320-322: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Assert the thrown error class in the malformed-VLQ test.

With an Error instance as the expected value, toThrow compares only the message. A thrown error of another class with the same message would also pass. The new test.each block at sourcemap.test.js:320-322 therefore cannot detect a wrong error class. The sibling truncated-VLQ check in the base file already asserts instanceof SyntaxError for malformed mappings. Assert the class as well as the message, in separate assertions. Confirm which class the constructor throws for these inputs before you add the class check.

I reviewed the latest push and didn't find any bugs; the earlier nit about self-compared cases in the SIMD sweep is addressed by e68f5d3 (every case now pins to sameAs, an exact error, or error: null). Because this rewrites the scalar VLQ decoder on the source-map hot path and widens what new SourceMap and // @ bun remapping accept, with the >32-bit value rule explicitly left open for a maintainer, a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• decode_impl digit-by-digit against the old loop for up to 8 digits: each read is preceded by a length check, (5*i)&31 reproduces the old shift&31 wrap at digit 8, and truncated / 8-continuation inputs still return start unchanged.
• decode_long: shift clamped at 32 so any payload from digit 8 on (or bits 32-34 of digit 7) trips the > u32::MAX break, non-base64 and bytes >= 0x80 break before use, and no quadratic rescans since every caller in Mapping.rs and InternalSourceMap.rs fails the parse on no-progress.
• decode_assume_valid is only fed bun's own VLQ::encode output (sourcemap/lib.rs finalize and chunk append), so the new debug_assert!(!ASSERT_VALID) cannot fire on user input.
• Hand-traced the 2/3-field error offsets (digits+1, digits+7) and the 8-vs-9-digit overflow expectations in the test matrix through the parse loop; they match the code.

Extended reasoning...

The change rewrites vlq::decode_impl in src/base64/lib.rs into a hand-unrolled 8-digit fast path with a new cold decode_long for VLQs of 9 or more digits, trims two stale comments in src/jsc/bindings/highway_sourcemap.cpp, and adds Rust unit tests plus JS tests in sourcemap.test.js and sourcemap-simd.test.ts. It parses untrusted source-map bytes (external input via new SourceMap and // @ bun sourceMappingURL), which is the security-sensitive surface; bounds checks precede every read and the long path breaks on overflow or non-base64 bytes. No bugs were found and the prior inline nit was addressed, but the change alters accepted inputs on a hot path, carries performance claims without CI-verified numbers, and the author names an open maintainer decision on the overflow rule, so a human review is warranted rather than an unattended approve. No CODEOWNERS entry covers the changed files.

[claude]

I re-reviewed the three follow-up commits and found no bugs; the sweep now pins the 2/3-field and overflow cases so the earlier self-comparison gap is closed. A human look is still worthwhile because this rewrites the scalar VLQ decoder on the mappings parse path and leaves the overflow rule split (wrap at <= 8 digits, fail at >= 9), which the description flags as a maintainer decision.

What was reviewed:

• decode_impl unroll against the old loop: shift amounts (5*i)&31, no-progress returns, and the len <= 8 boundary all match the old behavior byte-for-byte; only len > 8 with 8 continuation digits now reaches decode_long.
• decode_long: u64 accumulation with the shift clamped to 32 cannot overflow, every non-base64 byte, over-32-bit value, or missing terminal digit returns start unchanged so Mapping::parse still errors.
• decode_assume_valid callers (SourceMapPieces::finalize, chunk splicing) only read Bun's own VLQ::encode output, so the new debug assertion is not user-reachable.
• SIMD kernel: seg_len <= 10 with 4/5 fields and the > 7 guard for 1-field bound every kernel-decoded VLQ to 7 sextets, so the comment-only change there is accurate; test error offsets for the 2/3-field cases were traced through Mapping.rs and agree.

Extended reasoning...

The change rewrites vlq::decode_impl in src/base64/lib.rs into a hand-unrolled 8-digit body plus a cold decode_long that accepts VLQs of any digit count whose value fits in 32 bits, changes two comments in the Highway kernel, and adds Rust unit tests, a tc39-fixture test, and a 400-case SIMD/scalar parity sweep. The decoder parses untrusted mappings strings from new SourceMap and // @ bun files; I checked the arithmetic and found no out-of-bounds or panic path, and release-build validation is preserved. Deferring rather than approving because it is a hot-path decoder rewrite with an acknowledged open design question (overflow wraps at up to 8 digits but fails at 9 or more) and performance claims that a maintainer should weigh.

[robobun]

The rejection test now asserts the class and the message in separate assertions (62f719d). In bun:test, toThrow(new SyntaxError(msg)) compares the message only.
