Problem

  • test/aot/no-leak-records-at-exit.test.ts names a leak record by the first frame that is not an allocator. An executable passes when bun run has each of its names.
  • On main each record of a Malloc=1 run has the name bmalloc::SystemHeap::malloc, and each Rust record the name alloc. So the test compares nothing: an executable-only record passes.
  • Cause: isAllocator() does not know bmalloc::. alloc is the last word of the inlined std::sys::alloc::unix::alloc.

Fix

  • A record now has the name of the first called function that is neither an allocator nor a container. getCalledFunctions() leaves out the frames of inlined functions.
  • bmalloc::, __rustc:: and a class operator new are allocators. A method of Rust is a container frame when the language, hashbrown or smallvec has its code.
  • A requires clause, a qualifier and the location are not part of a name. AOT: bun test --aot on large suites, module loading fixes, fuzzer fixes #47316 stays as it is.
  • Verified: test/aot/no-leak-records-at-exit.test.ts, 26 pass on a release ASAN build and with bun bd test. A probe with four executable-only records passes on main and fails here.

Background

  • A leak record is one allocation site of a LeakSanitizer report.
  • With debug information a symbolizer writes a frame for each inlined function, at its holder's address. A release build names an inlined Rust function by its last word.
  • A method of Rust is written <Type as Trait>::method. The crate of the trait or of the type has its code.
  • Considered: keep the inlined frames and add alloc to the allocators. Any function of that name then hides a record.
Notes

What main does (4f7acde, release ASAN build, the whole Bun on both sides as #47316 set it up)

Names that getLeakRecords() gives:

program main this branch
workers that end, Malloc=1 bmalloc::SystemHeap::malloc for all 8 records of the executable and all 20 of bun run executable: WebCore::eventNames, WebCore::EventNames::EventNames, Zig::GlobalObject::setConsole. bun run: those three and JSC::Identifier::add, JSC::CommonIdentifiers::CommonIdentifiers, WebCore::BunBuiltinNames::BunBuiltinNames
workers that serve their default export, no Malloc alloc <bun_runtime::server::NewServer<false, true>>::init

A debug build gives the same on main for Malloc=1, and __rustc::__rust_alloc for the record of Rust.

The probe

In the test body, give bun run the program console.log("hello", 1 + 2) in place of entry.ts, and run -t "workers that end". The executable then has four records that bun run does not have (WebCore::eventNames, WebCore::EventNames::EventNames).

  • main, release ASAN build and debug build: pass.
  • This branch, release ASAN build: fail, with those four records and no other record.

Why the frames of inlined functions are left out

The record of Rust in a release build, cut down:

    #0 0x000006a15ac8 in malloc crtstuff.c
    #1 0x00000ccd40ac in alloc /opt/rust/toolchains/.../library/std/src/sys/alloc/unix.rs:31:18
    #4 0x00000ccd40ac in <std::alloc::System as core::alloc::global::GlobalAlloc>::alloc /opt/rust/toolchains/.../library/core/src/alloc/global.rs:361:20
    #15 0x00000bf87591 in request_pool /workspace/bun/src/runtime/server/mod.rs:3516:22
    #16 0x00000bf87591 in <bun_runtime::server::NewServer<false, true>>::init /workspace/bun/src/runtime/server/mod.rs:2205:27
  • Frames #1 and #15 are inlined functions. Their names are one word. A frame that follows at the same address is the function that was called, with its whole name.
  • The name of a called function comes from the symbol table. For every ninth function of the release ASAN build (31,708 of 285,369) I asked llvm-symbolizer --inlines for an address in the function, with and without the debug information. The name of the called function was the same every time. 21,275 of the answers had inlined frames. 11,244 had an inlined frame with a name of one word.
  • With the inlined frames kept and bmalloc:: added, the record above still has the name alloc.

Frames of Rust

Two small programs, built the way Bun's Rust code is built (-Zsanitizer=address, -Zbuild-std, the profiles of Cargo.toml), leak memory on purpose.

  • The first leaks in 51 common ways: Box::new, String::from, to_owned, to_vec, format!, HashMap, hashbrown::HashMap, SmallVec, collect, Rc, Arc and more. It has 54 records.
  • The second leaks in methods that a crate writes for a type of the language, and in functions with a function pointer among their arguments: a trait for [u8], for Vec<Thing> and for Vec<fn(u8) -> u8>, IntoIterator for &Names, a method of dyn Shape, closures, to_vec of a slice of Thing, and a collect into a Result. It has 14 records in a debug build and 15 in a release build.

Records that have the name of the function that leaked:

parser first, debug first, release second, debug second, release
main 0 0 0 0
this branch at 61eb4bb 26 47 7 12
this branch at b0d68fd 54 54 3 6
this branch at 5b7915e 54 54 11 13
this branch 54 54 14 15
  • At 61eb4bb the other names were library functions: <u8 as <[_]>::to_vec_in::ConvertVec>::to_vec::<alloc::alloc::Global> (for String::from, to_owned, to_vec and to_string), <hashbrown::raw::RawTable<(u64, u32)>>::reserve_rehash::<...>, <smallvec::SmallVec<[u32; 4]>>::try_grow, <str>::to_lowercase. The list looked for a crate at the start of a frame only.
  • b0d68fd took every method of a type in no crate for the language's own. That was right for the first program. In the second it gave a record the name of the function that called a method of the crate, as for <[u8] as app::Checksum>::sums.
  • getCrateOfMethod() now reads the type and the trait of a method. A method of a trait Allocator is an allocator's, in whatever crate its type is. Any other trait says whose the code is when it is written in a method, or when its crate is no container's. If not, the type says it, and a reference and a dyn are of the crate of what they are of. A slice, a tuple, a pointer and a number are the language's.
  • At 5b7915e the > of -> closed a bracket. app::collect_with::<fn(u8) -> u8> had the name u8, and a record through core::iter::adapters::try_process::<..., for<'a> fn(&'a str) -> ...> had the name ::from_iteru32.
  • Each part is needed. Without hashbrown 49 and 50 records of the first program have the right name, without smallvec 52 and 53, without the language for a type in no crate 37 and 53.
  • Over the 301,846 function names of the release ASAN build, 18,995 more than at 61eb4bb are allocator or container frames: 8,917 methods of a type of hashbrown, 3,953 of a type of smallvec, 5,580 of a reference, a pointer, a slice, a tuple, a number or a function pointer, 469 closures and free functions of these crates, 15 of <T as <[_]>::to_vec_in::ConvertVec>::to_vec for a type of a crate, 19 methods of Allocator for a type of Bun (16 more are among the methods of a reference), 2 functions of the language with a function pointer among their arguments, and 40 local functions of WTF that had the name of a qualifier. 200 are such frames no longer: a trait of a crate for a type of the language, as <alloc::vec::Vec<T, A> as bun_collections::vec_ext::VecExt<T>>.
  • One limit stays. The name of a method does not say whether a crate wrote it for a trait of the language, or the language provides it. <T as Iterator>::next and <T as Clone>::clone are the crate's. <T as Iterator>::collect, <T as ToString>::to_string and <T as alloc::vec::spec_from_elem::SpecFromElem>::from_elem (for vec![value; n]) are the language's. The type decides for all of them, as on main.
  • The names of the records of the five programs do not change, in a debug build and in a release ASAN build.

What has no entry, and why

  • ICU. uprv_malloc_79 ends with jmp __interceptor_malloc, and icu_79::UMemory::operator new is jmp uprv_malloc_79, in the release ASAN build and in the debug build. A function that jumps keeps no frame. A small program linked with the same ICU libraries leaks a calendar: its record is #0 malloc, #1 icu_79::GregorianCalendar::clone() const. Programs that use up to twelve Intl APIs, on the main thread and in workers, end with no ICU frame in a record.
  • strdup and strndup. LeakSanitizer writes them as frame #0, as it writes malloc. No code in src/ calls them on Linux. The vendored lsquic and libarchive do.
  • Bun's own containers (bun_collections, bun_alloc::baby_vec). They are code of Bun and give a record its name, as on main. What a type of Bun does for the trait Allocator is an allocator's.

The tests of written text

  • Eighteen cases hold a record as a symbolizer wrote it, cut down to the frames that decide the name. main's parser gives another name for seventeen of the eighteen.
  • One test holds the rules for a method of Rust against twelve methods that a symbolizer wrote: ten for the second program and two for a debug build of Bun.
  • One test holds getLeakRecords() against a whole report of three records. One function allocated the first and the last, and they stay together under one name. Before, the later record replaced the earlier one in the failure message.
  • They use test of bun:test, so they also run on a Bun without the compiler.
  • I changed each of the 34 clauses of the parser in turn. Each time at least one of these 20 tests failed.

What the name of a function leaves out

  • The location, in both forms: an executable and an offset, or a file and a line. The path of the executable may have a space, and so may the path of a file that starts at the root.
  • A requires clause: WTF::WeakPtr<...>::WeakPtr(...) requires !IsSmartPtr<T>::value had the name !IsSmartPtr::value. The clause ends where a lambda begins: in app::fill<int>(int) requires std::integral<int>::'lambda'(unsigned long)::operator()(unsigned long) const the name is app::fill::'lambda'::operator. A local class in such a function keeps the name of the function, for the text does not say where that clause ends. The release ASAN build has 152 functions with a clause, and none with a local function behind it.
  • The qualifiers const, volatile, & and &&: copy() const & had the name &.
  • The qualifiers of a function that another is written in: app::Text::measure() const::$_0::operator() had the name const::$_0::operator. Over the 132,511 C++ functions of the release ASAN build, 203 different functions shared 10 such names. Two names are still given to more than one function: WTF::operator (two comparison operators, both container frames) and const (three .cold parts of libstdc++ functions).
  • A class operator new had the name new, and operator unsigned long the name long. The name now has every word from operator on.
  • The > of -> is no bracket. operator-> keeps its whole name (71 functions of the release ASAN build had the name operator-). The 14 other operators written with < or > still have a name that is cut short, and no two of them have one name.

How it was run

bun run build:asan
B=build/release-asan/bun-asan
id=$(readelf -n $B | sed -n 's/.*Build ID: //p')
mkdir -p /tmp/dbg/.build-id/${id:0:2}
llvm-objcopy --only-keep-debug --decompress-debug-sections $B /tmp/dbg/.build-id/${id:0:2}/${id:2}.debug
llvm-strip --strip-debug -o $B-stripped $B
ASAN_SYMBOLIZER_PATH=$(which llvm-symbolizer) LLVM_SYMBOLIZER_OPTS=--debug-file-directory=/tmp/dbg \
  $B-stripped test test/aot/no-leak-records-at-exit.test.ts

This branch ends with 26 pass, 0 fail in that first attempt setup, with $B in place of $B-stripped (the retry), and with bun bd test. main ends with 6 pass, 0 fail in the first attempt setup.

History of this PR

  • It first described the first-attempt failure of this file on :debian: 13 x64-asan: the runner starts the file on bun-asan-stripped, whose reports had debug information, and an --aot executable had none. AOT: bun test --aot on large suites, module loading fixes, fuzzer fixes #47316 fixed that in the file: it runs the builds and bun run on the whole Bun.
  • Before the rebase, the three commits of this PR passed the file on the first attempt of that lane with the stripped Bun (builds 135669, 135677, 135683). That is the same property the parser keeps: the name of a called function does not need the debug information.
  • The rebase keeps what review asked for: a space in a path, the qualifiers, and tests that run on every Bun.
  • After the rebase, build 136247 (61eb4bb) ran the file once on that lane, on the first attempt with the stripped Bun: pass in 106.55 s.
  • Build 136302 (ed7a365) ran the file once on that lane too, with no retry: pass in 84.99 s. All 20 shards of the lane passed.

Not in this PR

  • The records are leaks that bun run has too. The test accepts a record that bun run also prints.
  • scripts/runner.node.ts and the list of suppressions do not change.

Status: closed by a maintainer on 2026-11-07. #47942 rewrote the front end of the ahead-of-time compiler and its tests, so this pull request no longer applied.

Follow-up: #47942 is in, and the problem still shows on main (98cda0d). The probe of this description passes there: the executable has four records that bun run does not have, and the test passes. The change is now in #48461, as the closing comment asked.

Walkthrough

The leak-record parser extracts allocating functions from symbolized stack frames, filters allocator frames, and combines records with the same allocation name. Added examples cover inline frames, allocator chains, constrained function names, Rust frames, and paths with spaces.

Changes

Leak record parsing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Stack-frame extraction and attribution
test/aot/no-leak-records-at-exit.test.ts
Function-name parsing handles requires clauses, trailing qualifiers, operator names, and additional allocator forms. Stack-frame parsing removes symbolizer location suffixes and consecutive inline frames that share an address, then selects the first non-allocator frame. Fixtures and assertions cover inline frames, allocator and container chains, constrained names, Rust frames, and paths with spaces.
Record grouping
test/aot/no-leak-records-at-exit.test.ts
getLeakRecords attributes records through getAllocatedBy and concatenates records with the same allocation name. A fixture checks that records for another function remain separate.

Suggested reviewers: jarred-sumner

Merge Risk: Low · up to 5b791

The change improves leak attribution, with a bounded remaining concern that constrained-lambda names could merge with enclosing-function records and hide an executable-only leak. Mergeable with owner awareness of that parser limitation.

Pre-merge checks: Passed 4

199-200: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value

Add a test for same-name accumulation in getLeakRecords.

getLeakRecords appends records that share an allocator name (line 142) instead of overwriting them. No existing assertion checks this. The new test.each cases call only getAllocatedBy. The ASAN-only consumer checks compare map keys, so reverting line 142 to an overwrite leaves every pass/fail result unchanged. Only the record text shown in a failure message would lose entries.

Add a test that places two records with the same allocator name in one report and checks that both remain in the map value:

Suggested test
test("records with the same allocator name stay together", () => {
  const [, , first] = writtenRecords[0];
  const [, allocatedBy, second] = writtenRecords[1];
  const stderr = `\n=====\n==1==ERROR: LeakSanitizer: detected memory leaks\n${first}${second}\nSUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: 832 byte(s) leaked in 8 allocation(s).\n`;
  const records = getLeakRecords(stderr).get(allocatedBy) ?? "";
  expect(records).toContain(first.trim());
  expect(records).toContain(second.trim());
});

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 \S+$ fallback in getCalledFunctions against frames that carry no location at all (a bare const or requires !IsSmartPtr<T>::value tail): it strips only the last token, and getFunctionName then drops the remaining const/ requires ... prefix, so the record key is unchanged in those cases.

Extended reasoning...

The change is confined to the parser helpers of test/aot/no-leak-records-at-exit.test.ts plus four string-only test cases; it touches no security-sensitive surface. The two inline findings (skip gating of the new cases and path-with-spaces mis-stripping) already call for a human look, and this note only records one adjacent regex concern that was examined and ruled out.

Review follow-up, in bd47636:

  • Records with one name. The new test the records of one function stay together holds getLeakRecords() against the two records of a real report, both allocated by one function. With the append turned back into an overwrite, that test fails.
  • A space in a path. Answered in the two threads. A file whose path starts at the root, and the executable, may now have a space in the path. Three new cases cover it.
  • Parser tests behind the --aot gate. Answered in the thread. The tests of written text now use test of bun:test.

I took each clause of the parser out in turn (10 of them). Each time at least one of the 8 tests of written text failed.

LGTM. The second commit addresses both points from my earlier review: the parser cases now use test from bun:test so they run on every lane, and frameLocation strips a location whose path contains a space, with sample records covering both the file and the executable form. The remaining inline note is a pre-existing edge case in getFunctionName, not something this change introduces.

Extended reasoning...

The change is confined to test/aot/no-leak-records-at-exit.test.ts: it reworks how a LeakSanitizer record is keyed (collapsing inlined frames at a shared address, stripping locations by shape, treating bmalloc and class operator new as allocators, dropping a requires clause) and adds pure-string unit tests over seven symbolizer records plus a getLeakRecords concatenation case. No production code, no security-sensitive surface, and the file is not covered by CODEOWNERS. I traced the frameLocation alternatives against each sample record (BuildId form, absolute path with spaces, relative path) and the same-address pop logic against the with/without-debug-info pair, and they produce the expected keys. Both of my prior inline comments were addressed by bd47636, and the one confirmed finding this run is pre-existing and minor, so approval is reasonable.

I reviewed the three commits and found no bugs; the points from my earlier inline comments (parser cases on every Bun, a space in a path, cv/ref qualifiers) are addressed in the code. Because the names the ASAN lane compares now rest on regex heuristics over symbolizer output that I could only trace by hand, a human look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • Traced each of the ten written records through getCalledFunctions, isAllocator and getFunctionName; each yields the asserted name, and collapsing same-address frames keeps the outermost (holder) function in both the debug-info and stripped forms.
  • Checked frameLocation against every sample: the executable+offset form is tried before /, so a path with a space is stripped whole, and the last-word fallback only reaches relative file paths.
  • Confirmed getLeakRecords's concatenation equals the expected joined string in the first test given the lookahead split and the SUMMARY line riding in the last record; the ASAN end-to-end test body is unchanged apart from the extracted helper.
Extended reasoning...

The PR touches one file, test/aot/no-leak-records-at-exit.test.ts, reworking how a LeakSanitizer record is keyed (qualifier and requires-clause stripping, bmalloc and class operator new as allocators, a location regex tolerant of spaces, collapsing inlined frames at one address, concatenating records under one key) and adding eleven pure-string parser tests that run on every Bun. No production code and no security-sensitive surface is involved, and the path has no CODEOWNER. The hunt ran dry and my earlier findings were addressed by bd47636 and 9aa87b8, but the correctness of the record naming depends on symbolizer behavior the author verified by sampling rather than anything checkable in this checkout, and a coderabbitai thread at line 123 was resolved by the author with no later commit touching that function, so a human look is still warranted rather than an approval.

One correction for a reader of the last review: the thread at line 123 (a space in a path) was not resolved without a change. bd47636 replaces the pattern in getCalledFunctions() with frameLocation, and the cases a file is in a folder with a space in its name and an executable is in a folder with a space in its name cover it.

For the human look: the names do not rest on hand tracing alone. The Notes of the description list what was run: the test on a release ASAN build in the first attempt setup and the retry setup, a sample of 30,230 functions symbolized with and without debug information, and the x64-asan lane of this PR, which passed the file on its first attempt for the first two commits (builds 135669 and 135677).

`no-leak-records-at-exit.test.ts` holds the leak records of an executable
against those of `bun run`, by the first frame that is not an allocator.
Two frames were not taken for allocators. `bmalloc::SystemHeap::malloc`
named every record of a run with Malloc=1. In a Bun built for release,
`alloc`, the last word of the inlined `std::sys::alloc::unix::alloc`,
named every record of Rust. So a record of the executable alone had the
name of some record of `bun run`, and the test passed.

A record now has the name of the first function that was called and is
neither an allocator nor a container. The frame of an inlined function
is left out: it has the address of the next frame. `bmalloc::`,
`__rustc::` and a class `operator new` are allocators. A `requires`
clause, a qualifier behind the arguments and the location are not part
of a name, with a space in a path too. Records with one name stay
together in the failure message.

Thirteen tests hold the parser against text that a symbolizer wrote.
They use `test` of bun:test, so they run on a Bun without the compiler.

Rebased onto main and re-scoped, after #47316 changed the same file.

  • AOT: bun test --aot on large suites, module loading fixes, fuzzer fixes #47316 fixed the first-attempt failure on :debian: 13 x64-asan that this PR first described: the file now runs on the whole Bun. I kept that, the new program and the suppression-list test as they are.
  • What is left, and what this PR now fixes: on main the comparison compares nothing. Every record of a Malloc=1 run has the name bmalloc::SystemHeap::malloc, and every record of Rust has the name alloc. I checked it on a release ASAN build of main: a run in which the executable has four records of its own passes.
  • The branch is one commit on top of main. The title and the description say what it does now.

128-128: Minor · Functional Correctness · Low value

Keep all words from operator onward in leak-record names.

getFunctionName returns only the last word of app::Id::operator unsigned long, which is long. Records whose called functions end in the same word share one key, so getLeakRecords can merge them. Keep the words from operator onward, not only the last two.

Update getFunctionName to preserve every word from the first “operator” onward
when building leak-record names, rather than retaining only the final word or
last two words; leave names without “operator” on the existing path.
Nitpick Add a case where another function's record separates two records of one function.

199-205: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Add a case where another function's record separates two records of one function.

The test at lines 199-205 uses two adjacent records. A grouping implementation that merges only consecutive matching records returns the same map and still passes. The test name says the records "stay together", so the test should also cover an intervening record. This case is cheap to add and closes the gap in the file.

   const report = `

 ==881==ERROR: LeakSanitizer: detected memory leaks

…ng against a report of three records

A conversion to a type of several words (`operator unsigned long`) had
its last word for a name. The name now has every word from `operator`
on.

The report that holds `getLeakRecords()` now has a record of another
function between the two records of one function.

Both follow-ups are in 61eb4bb.

  • Words behind operator. Confirmed with a small program: a record allocated by app::Id::operator unsigned long() const had the name long. The name now has every word from operator on. The new case the function converts to a type of two words holds that record.
  • A record between two records of one function. The report that the records of one function stay together holds is now a real report of three records, in the order makePair, makeLabel, makePair. A grouping that looks only at the record before fails that test.

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

Beyond the inline finding, I also checked that switching getLeakRecords from last-record-wins to concatenation does not weaken the executable-vs-bun run comparison: both call sites (test/aot/no-leak-records-at-exit.test.ts:394 and :425) filter on plainRecords.has(allocatedBy), i.e. keys only, so the concatenated value changes only what a failure prints. I also traced frameLocation against every frame shape in the new fixtures (exe+offset with BuildId, root path with a space, relative path, Rust crtstuff.c) and found no case where the leftmost alternative strips part of the function name.

Extended reasoning...

The change is confined to the record-parsing helpers and new always-run fixture tests in test/aot/no-leak-records-at-exit.test.ts; it touches no production code and no security-sensitive surface. A verified finding is being posted inline, so this body only records what else was examined and ruled out.

A record got the name of a container in two cases, and the name of a
qualifier in one.

- A method of Rust has its type first. isAllocator() looked for the
  crates of containers at the start of a frame only, so it did not see
  `<hashbrown::raw::RawTable<T>>::reserve_rehash`. It now reads the
  crate of the type. hashbrown and smallvec are crates of containers.
- The method of a type that is in no crate is a frame of the language:
  `<[u8]>::to_vec`, `<u8 as <[_]>::to_vec_in::ConvertVec>::to_vec`. In a
  debug build such a method allocates for `String::from` and for
  `to_owned`.
- A function that is written in a const member had the name
  `const::$_0::operator`. getFunctionName() now removes the qualifiers
  of the function around it too.

Three records that a symbolizer wrote hold the three cases.

Follow-up to the review comment on isAllocator(), in b0d68fd.

The hash table of Rust: confirmed, and the cause is wider.

  • A method of Rust has its type first: <hashbrown::raw::RawTable<T>>::reserve_rehash. The list looked for a crate at the start of a frame only, so the hashbrown entry saw free functions and nothing else.
  • I built a small program the way Bun's Rust code is built (-Zsanitizer=address, -Zbuild-std, the profiles of Cargo.toml). It leaks memory in 51 common ways: Box::new, String::from, to_owned, to_vec, format!, HashMap, SmallVec, collect and more. Of 54 records, 28 had the name of a library function in a debug build and 7 in a release build. Examples: <u8 as <[_]>::to_vec_in::ConvertVec>::to_vec::<alloc::alloc::Global> for String::from, to_owned and to_string, and <smallvec::SmallVec<[u32; 4]>>::try_grow.
  • isAllocator() now reads the crate of the type. hashbrown and smallvec are crates of containers. The method of a type in no crate (a slice, a reference, a number) counts as the language's own. All 54 records now have the name of the function that leaked, in both builds.

ICU: the frames in the comment do not occur in Bun's builds, so there is no new entry.

  • uprv_malloc_79 ends with jmp __interceptor_malloc, and icu_79::UMemory::operator new is jmp uprv_malloc_79. That is so in the release ASAN build and in the debug build. A function that jumps keeps no frame.
  • A small program linked with the same libicui18n.a and libicuuc.a leaks a calendar. Its record is #0 malloc, #1 icu_79::GregorianCalendar::clone() const, #2 icu_79::Calendar::createInstance(...). The record already has the name of the ICU function that allocated.

One more of the same kind. I ran getFunctionName() over the 132,511 C++ functions of the release ASAN build. A function that is written in a const member lost the name of that member: 203 different functions shared 10 names such as const::$_0::operator. The qualifiers in front of :: now go too.

Checks:

  • Three new records that a symbolizer wrote hold the three changes. The commit before gives another name for each of them.
  • I changed each of the 23 clauses of the parser in turn. Each time one of the 17 tests of written text failed.
  • The names of the records of the five programs do not change, in a debug build and in a release ASAN build.
  • 23 pass, 0 fail on a release ASAN build (first attempt setup and the whole Bun) and with bun bd test.

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

The commit before took every method of a type in no crate for the
language's own. That also took code of Bun for a container: a trait of
a crate for a slice, a tuple or a type of the language, a trait of the
language for a reference to a type of a crate, and a method of a trait
object. Such a record got the name of the function that called it.

getCrateOfMethod() reads what is between the first `<` and the `>` that
closes it. A trait that is written in a method, or whose crate is no
container's, says whose the code is. If not, the type says it, and a
reference and a `dyn` are of the crate of what they are of.

The language now also has `<T as <[_]>::to_vec_in::ConvertVec>::to_vec`
where `T` is a type of a crate. A debug build calls it for each `to_vec`
of a slice and each clone of a vector.

One test holds the rules against nine methods that a symbolizer wrote.

Follow-up to the three review comments, in 5b7915e.

A method of Rust for a reference, a slice, a tuple or a dyn: confirmed and fixed.

  • A second small program, built as the first, has a trait of its crate for [u8] and for Vec<Thing>, IntoIterator for &Names, and a method of dyn Shape. In a debug build 3 of its 11 records had the name of the function that allocated, and in a release build 5 of 12. The others had the name of the caller, or of <app::Thing as <[_]>::to_vec_in::ConvertVec>::to_vec. In the release build the records of two different functions had one name.
  • getCrateOfMethod() now reads the type and the trait of a method. A trait that is written in a method, or whose crate is no container's, says whose the code is. If not, the type says it, and a reference and a dyn are of the crate of what they are of. All 23 records now have the name of the function that allocated.
  • Over the 301,846 function names of the release ASAN build, 3,189 methods go back to their crate and 15 go to the language. The names of the records of the five programs do not change.
  • I did not use the rule as the comment has it (the language's own only when the head names no other crate). With it, a record of workers that serve their default export gets the name <std::thread::local::LocalKey<core::cell::Cell<*mut bun_collections::hive_array::Fallback<...>>>>::with::<...> in place of <bun_runtime::server::NewServer<false, true>>::init: the type of the language has a type of Bun for an argument. So the code reads only the as that is in no other <.
  • One limit stays. A private trait of the language that has a path of its own still counts as the crate's for a type of a crate: <T as alloc::vec::spec_from_elem::SpecFromElem>::from_elem, which a debug build calls for vec![value; n]. The release ASAN build has 40 such functions.

A lambda of a constrained function: no change. 152 C++ functions of the release ASAN build have a requires clause. None has a local function behind the clause.

Operators written with < or >: no change. The release ASAN build has 85 such functions (-> 71, <=> 8, << 4, < 2). 26 of them are no allocator and no container. They have 13 names, and no name is given to two different operators. A name is cut short (JSC::WriteBarrierBase::operator-), but it stays the name of one function.

Checks:

  • One new test holds the rules against nine methods that a symbolizer wrote.
  • I changed each of the 30 clauses of the parser in turn. Each time one of the 18 tests of written text failed.
  • 24 pass, 0 fail on a release ASAN build (first attempt setup and the whole Bun) and with bun bd test.

127-127: Minor · Potential issue · Low value

Removing everything from requires onward may erase a lambda’s name when a symbolized frame contains an enclosing constrained function, rather than removing only that function’s constraint.

Distinct allocations may receive the same leak-record key, allowing the final comparison to miss or misattribute an executable-only record.

This can occur when: A frame names an allocating lambda in the form app::make() requires Constraint::$_0::operator(), alongside an allocation from app::make or another local function.

The `requires` cleanup merges distinct symbolized frames by removing the
enclosing function and lambda name together. Update the frame normalization in
the test so it removes only the constrained function’s constraint while
preserving nested lambda and function names, keeping separate allocations

… by its trait

Three kinds of frame gave a record a wrong name.

- A lambda in a function that has a constraint had the name of that
  function: `app::fill<int>(int) requires std::integral<int>::'lambda'(...)::operator()(...)`
  was `app::fill`, and so was each other lambda of `fill`. The
  constraint now ends where a lambda begins.
- The `>` of `->` closed a bracket. A function of Rust with a function
  pointer among its arguments had the name of what the pointer returns:
  `app::collect_with::<fn(u8) -> u8>` was `u8`. A function of the
  language with such an argument counted as code of a crate.
- A method of the trait `Allocator` had the crate of its type, so
  `<bun_alloc::DefaultAlloc as core::alloc::Allocator>::allocate` gave
  a record its name. It is an allocator's now, in whatever crate the
  type is.

Two records and three methods that a symbolizer wrote hold the changes.

Follow-up to the reviews of 5b7915e, in ed7a365.

A lambda of a constrained function: fixed. My last comment said no change. Two reviews raised it, and a small C++20 program shows the form: char* app::fill<int>(int) requires std::integral<int>::'lambda'(unsigned long)::operator()(unsigned long) const. Two lambdas of fill and fill itself had the one name app::fill. The constraint now ends where a lambda begins. A local class in such a function keeps the name of the function (... requires sizeof (int) == 4::Buffer::make(unsigned long)): the text does not say where that constraint ends. The release ASAN build has no function of either form.

-> in a function pointer: confirmed and fixed in both loops.

  • A small program shows it in both builds. app::collect_with::<fn(u8) -> u8> had the name u8. A record through core::iter::adapters::try_process::<..., for<'a> fn(&'a str) -> ...> had the name ::from_iteru32. <alloc::vec::Vec<fn(u8) -> u8> as app::Checksum>::sums had the name of its caller.
  • In the release ASAN build two functions of the language counted as code of a crate: alloc::vec::in_place_collect::from_iter_in_place::<...> had the name bun_sema::import_sites::alternatives::Held. 71 operator-> functions had the name operator-.

A method of an allocator of Bun: confirmed and fixed. A method of a trait Allocator is an allocator's, in whatever crate its type is. The release ASAN build has 35 such methods for types of Bun, and a debug build has more, with allocator_api2::stable::alloc::Allocator. The test holds <bun_alloc::DefaultAlloc as core::alloc::Allocator>::allocate and the allocator_api2 one as a symbolizer writes them for a debug build of Bun.

A method that the language provides on a type of Bun: no change. <T as Iterator>::collect and <T as ToString>::to_string are code of the language. <T as Iterator>::next and <T as Clone>::clone are code of the crate. The name does not say which, so the type decides, as on main. The Notes of the description have this limit.

Checks:

  • I changed each of the 34 clauses of the parser in turn. Each time one of the 20 tests of written text failed.
  • The names of the records of the five programs do not change.
  • 26 pass, 0 fail on a release ASAN build (first attempt setup and the whole Bun) and with bun bd test.

Closing: #47942 rewrites the front end of the ahead-of-time compiler and its tests for the engine's new compiler (oven-sh/WebKit#997, merged), so this no longer applies and would conflict with it. If the problem still shows once that is in, please open a new pull request against main.

Understood. For the check after #47942 is in: its head (ce10cc2) has test/aot/no-leak-records-at-exit.test.ts as it is on main. I will run the probe from this description on main then, and open a new pull request only if an executable-only record still passes.
