Fixes #43829

Problem

  • Error.captureStackTrace(o) adds stack, originalLine and originalColumn to a frozen or non-extensible o. It replaces a stack that is not configurable, and returns for a Proxy. Node throws a TypeError for each: Cannot define property stack, object is not extensible.
  • errorConstructorFuncCaptureStackTrace (src/jsc/bindings/FormatStackTraceForJS.cpp) stores with putDirect(), which checks nothing.

Fix

  • It now throws V8's TypeErrors before it captures a frame. They are the one above, Cannot redefine property: stack, and invalid_argument for a Proxy. No trap, getter or Error.prepareStackTrace runs.
  • node:vm contexts use JSC's own function, which [JSC] Error.captureStackTrace() refuses an object that is not extensible, and one whose stack is not configurable WebKit#962 fixes. Their four rows are test.failing until a WebKit upgrade has it.
  • Verified: test/js/node/v8/capture-stack-trace.test.js (5 of the 11 new tests fail on main), 60 test/aot/parallel programs.
  • Self-reviewed: 30 concerns raised, 28 addressed. Two need a maintainer (see Notes).

Background

Downsides

  • Such a capture now throws, as in Node. Code that captures again on a caught error can hide a frozen error behind the TypeError.
  • Instructions per call (release, merge base to PR): unread Error 1585 to 1624, read Error 9769 to 9937. Text +256 B.
  • Unchanged: node:vm contexts, and a lock taken inside Error.prepareStackTrace.
Notes

Who asked. @sosukesuzuki asked for this fix, with this program. No user has reported a frozen or non-extensible target. #43829 reports the Proxy.

function t(name, cst) {
  for (const make of [() => Object.preventExtensions({ a: 1 }), () => Object.freeze({ a: 1 }), () => Object.preventExtensions(new Error("x"))]) {
    const o = make();
    try { cst(o); console.log(name, Reflect.ownKeys(o).join(), Object.isExtensible(o)); }
    catch (e) { console.log(name, "threw", e.constructor.name, e.message); }
  }
}
t("main realm:", Error.captureStackTrace);
t("vm context:", require("node:vm").runInNewContext("Error.captureStackTrace"));

main adds stack in all six rows, and originalLine and originalColumn too in the main realm. Node 26.3 prints threw TypeError Cannot define property stack, object is not extensible six times. This PR prints that for the three main-realm rows. The three node:vm rows need oven-sh/WebKit#962.

The rule is V8's. ErrorUtils::CaptureStackTrace (deps/v8/src/execution/messages.cc) asks JSObject::IsExtensible first. It throws for every target that is not extensible, also one that owns a configurable stack (Object.preventExtensions({ stack: 1 })). Then it defines the accessor with kThrowOnError, which gives Cannot redefine property: stack. Only then does it capture. A Proxy is no JSObject there, so it gets invalid_argument.

Two questions for a maintainer.

  1. Where the engine half lands. [JSC] Error.captureStackTrace() refuses an object that is not extensible, and one whose stack is not configurable WebKit#962 puts the check in JSC's function in the fork. The same defect is in upstream WebKit. Install Bun's Error.captureStackTrace in every realm #42605 installs Bun's function in every realm, which makes the engine check unnecessary for node:vm.
  2. A yes on the behaviour change. It rewrites tests of AOT: fixes for modules, classes and Workers, WebKit upgrade, shorter compiler docs #47129 that describe the old result: the seven test/aot/parallel/objects/stack-captured-*.mjs programs, arrays/frozen-array-is-given-a-stack.mjs (renamed to frozen-array-is-given-no-stack.mjs), native-property-puts/native-functions-define-props-namespace/main.mjs, and the exclusion of Error.captureStackTrace in test/aot/fuzz/built-ins-called-often-through-unknown-values.ts.

What this revision took out. Commit 0f9a2bc of this branch also guarded the seven later stores of stack (after Error.prepareStackTrace and the getters of name and message, in the lazy accessor, and in node:vm's arrow header), and pinned a preview build of oven-sh/WebKit#962. The self-review found these problems:

  • The guard of the lazy accessor put frames back on an Error that user code had materialized. A debug build then stopped with ASSERTION FAILED: !m_errorInfoMaterialized.
  • A sealed or frozen Error with the lazy accessor called Error.prepareStackTrace at every read and dropped e.stack = x. Node and main do neither.
  • For an Error with frames, JSC stores stack at the first read (ErrorInstance::materializeErrorInfoIfNeeded). Bun's guards did not cover that store, so the common case was as on main.
  • Error.captureStackTrace: a non-Error target's stack starts with its name and message, read when the stack is #43390 rewrites the same two lazy stores with another rule.
  • A pin to a preview build cannot merge.

Known limit. Bun gives an Error without a frame, and a DOMException, no stack of its own. After Object.defineProperty(e, "stack", { value: "mine" }) that stack is not configurable, so the capture throws Cannot redefine property: stack. In Node each has a configurable stack from the start, the define keeps it so, and the capture succeeds. main replaces the property. A test row pins this.

Instructions per call, release, LTO off, linux-x64. Slope between N and 2N minus the same loop without the call, median of 5. The merge base is 34cbc70.

arm merge base this PR
new Error (unread) 1585 1624
one unread Error, captured again 2065 2082
{} 11489 11637
Error whose stack was read 9769 9937
{} with Error.prepareStackTrace 13808 13851
read Error with Error.prepareStackTrace 11767 11896

Five runs of the {} arm spread over 323 instructions on the merge base and 361 on this PR, so its two rows show no difference. An Error pays for the tests of its Structure. An Error whose stack was read also pays one lookup of stack: JSC sets the "has a property that is not configurable" bit for every Error, so only the lookup tells. An unread Error needs no lookup: the function already deleted its stack, and now it reads the result of that delete. Like V8, it gives an unread Error its accessor before it captures the frames, so every refusal comes before a frame is collected.

GC cells per capture (bun:jsc heapStats, 10,000 kept captures, the loop without the call subtracted): unread Error 0 to 0, {} 1 string to 1 string, read Error 0 to 0. Structure cells per 100 captures on one unread Error: 128 to 128.

Size, release, LTO off: text +256 B. errorConstructorFuncCaptureStackTrace 1229 to 1494 B.

Tests.

  • 11 new tests in capture-stack-trace.test.js. On main the five that check a refusal in the main realm fail. The two controls (an ordinary object, an ordinary Error, and five more kinds of target still get their stack) pass on main and here. The four node:vm rows are test.failing: they pass on a build with [JSC] Error.captureStackTrace() refuses an object that is not extensible, and one whose stack is not configurable WebKit#962, and the runner then asks to take failing out.
  • Three mutants on a debug build, one clause taken out each: no Proxy clause (2 tests fail), no method-table branch (the globalThis control fails), no throw where the delete of stack fails (the build stops with ASSERTION FAILED: !hadProperty).
  • test/aot/parallel: 60 programs call Error.captureStackTrace, with the new objects/stack-captured-stack-not-configurable.mjs. All pass test/aot/run-parallel.ts on a release build of this branch. So do 315 of 316 more (all of errors/, and every program that touches stack with a lock, node:vm or Error.prepareStackTrace; 1 is a todo on main).
  • Also ran the whole file with BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1 and with the collector settings of CI, and source-positions.test.ts, inspect-error.test.js, util-format.test.js, vm.test.ts. vm.test.ts has one failure and error-gc-test.test.js has timeouts on a debug build. Both are the same on a debug build of main.

Not in this PR.

Related PRs. This supersedes #33412, which had the two checks at the head, V8's two texts and the removal of the IgnoreConfigurable delete. It takes the Proxy check of #43830. The globalThis half of #43830 is not here.

…tack would refuse

Like V8, throw before a frame is captured for a target that is not extensible, and for
one whose own stack is not configurable. A Proxy throws invalid_argument.

The stores of stack that user code can precede (the default stack handed to
Error.prepareStackTrace, the final store, the lazy accessor, the node:vm header) go
through attributesForStackStore(): nothing is added to an object that is not
extensible, and a stack that is not configurable keeps its attributes.
…locked built-in to the store

The Structure of an object of compiled code never says "not extensible": its integrity level is
kept in the object. A built-in object of a compiled executable has immutable properties: the store
refuses it and putDirectOrThrow() throws what an assignment to it throws, as before.

Reproduced on main (34cbc70) and on 1.4.3-canary with the program of the report:

function t(name, cst) {
  for (const make of [() => Object.preventExtensions({ a: 1 }), () => Object.freeze({ a: 1 }), () => Object.preventExtensions(new Error("x"))]) {
    const o = make();
    try { cst(o); console.log(name, Reflect.ownKeys(o).join(), Object.isExtensible(o)); }
    catch (e) { console.log(name, "threw", e.constructor.name, e.message); }
  }
}
t("main realm:", Error.captureStackTrace);
t("vm context:", require("node:vm").runInNewContext("Error.captureStackTrace"));

main adds stack in all six rows, and originalLine and originalColumn too in the main realm. Node 26.3 prints threw TypeError Cannot define property stack, object is not extensible six times. This branch prints that for the three main-realm rows. The three node:vm rows use JSC's own function and need oven-sh/WebKit#962.

CI on 1419ec7 (build 136112): the one red test is test/aot/engine/ir-6.test.ts. It fails the same way on main (build 135971), and this PR does not touch it. test/js/node/v8/capture-stack-trace.test.js passes on every lane. The checks of oven-sh/WebKit#962 are green.

…nalColumn

A collection that formats the stack of an Error does not add the two. A read does.
So two Errors from one place can differ in them.
…guards on later stores and the WebKit pin

The refusals stay: a target that is not extensible, a `stack` that is not
configurable, and a Proxy.

- An unread Error answers for its `stack` where the function deletes it. It
  costs no second lookup.
- A second capture on an unread Error deletes the accessor and adds it again,
  as on main.
- The stores that follow user code, the lazy accessor and NodeVM.cpp are as on
  main.
- WEBKIT_VERSION is the pin of main. The node:vm rows are test.failing until a
  WebKit upgrade has oven-sh/WebKit#962.
- New rows: a target that an earlier capture gave a `stack`, an unread Error
  that is captured twice, and a `stack` that a define made on an Error without
  a frame and on a DOMException.
- New parity program: objects/stack-captured-stack-not-configurable.mjs.

Walkthrough

Error.captureStackTrace now rejects Proxy and non-extensible targets, and checks existing stack properties. For unread errors, it deletes stack before installing the lazy accessor and throws if deletion fails. Node and AOT tests cover these behaviors.

Changes

Error.captureStackTrace

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validate targets and handle unread errors
src/jsc/bindings/FormatStackTraceForJS.cpp
Capture rejects Proxy and non-extensible targets, and rejects existing non-configurable stack properties except on unread errors. For unread errors, capture throws if deleting stack fails.
Node regression coverage
test/js/node/v8/capture-stack-trace.test.js
Tests cover rejected targets and unchanged state, Proxy rejection, successful capture and replacement, and whether refused captures invoke Error.prepareStackTrace.
AOT regression coverage

AOT tests expand freeze and prevent-extensions mutations, log capture outcomes for restricted targets, and add coverage for varied stack property definitions. Related comments now describe capture refusing closed objects.

Suggested reviewers: jarred-sumner, dylan-conway

Severity of issue fixed: Low

Merge Risk: Low · up to 1419e

The target refusals are ready to merge with awareness of one narrow compatibility change: capturing a zero-frame Error after defining its stack without configurability now throws. Callers can explicitly make that property configurable.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: Error.captureStackTrace now refuses three kinds of target (non-extensible, non-configurable stack, Proxy). The raw summary and PR objectives confirm this is the core change in FormatStackTraceForJS.cpp and its tests. The title is specific, single-sentence, and not vague. It is 93 characters, which is longer than ideal, but it remains readable.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #43829 requires Error.captureStackTrace to throw TypeError: invalid_argument for a Proxy target. The implementation rejects ProxyObjectType before frame capture. The added tests cover Proxy targets and verify refusal behavior. The PR evidence reports that the capture test file passes with the fix.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description provides a detailed explanation of what the PR changes and how the changes were verified. It does not use the template headings exactly, but it includes equivalent Problem, Fix, and Tests information and is complete enough to satisfy the required content.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

Issue #43829 has scope limited to Proxy targets. The implementation also rejects non-extensible targets and targets with a non-configurable own stack, with new error messages and AOT expectation changes. The added tests cover frozen, sealed, namespace, and non-configurable-stack targets. These changes do not implement the linked issue's Proxy requirement.

Resolution

Limit this pull request to Proxy rejection and supporting tests, or link the non-extensible and non-configurable-stack requirements to active directly linked issues before retaining those changes.

stack property is configurable after the existing extensibility check and before
calling getFramesForCaller; reject a non-configurable property before collecting
or allocating frames.
- Around line 935-938: Keep the initial Error stack property configurable when
Error.stackTraceLimit is zero, so captureStackTrace can replace it after the
deleteProperty check instead of throwing through throwIsNotConfigurable. Update
the stack-property creation path while preserving the existing behavior for
other cases.

Beyond the inline findings, I also looked at the unread-Error branch's reorder (deleteProperty now runs before setStackFrames, with the IgnoreConfigurable scope removed): a refused delete throws before any frames are installed, and the materialization-on-delete concern for the fork's ErrorInstance::deleteProperty was checked and ruled out, so a normal capture on an unread Error still does not run Error.prepareStackTrace.

Extended reasoning...

The change touches only the Error.captureStackTrace host function in src/jsc/bindings/FormatStackTraceForJS.cpp plus its tests and AOT fixtures; it touches no auth, crypto or injection surface. Four confirmed findings are posted inline and a further verified finding is unposted, so approval is not appropriate; this note only records the delete/setStackFrames reorder that was examined and found behavior-preserving on the success path.

Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

… frames are captured

V8 defines the accessor first and captures the frames second. The function
now does the same for an unread Error: it deletes the own `stack`, refuses one
that is not configurable, and adds the lazy accessor. Then it captures.

So every refusal comes before a frame is collected, and nothing allocates
between the capture and setStackFrames().

Review follow-up for 1419ec7. Each thread has its own reply.

  • Applied: an unread Error now gets its accessor before the frames are captured, as V8 does. Every refusal now comes before a frame is collected, and nothing allocates between the capture and setStackFrames().
  • Not applied: the finding about a read-only configurable stack does not reproduce. putDirect() in define mode clears ReadOnly, and the row passes in CI.
  • Not applied: the TypeError for a stack that a define made on an Error without frames or on a DOMException is the known limit in the Notes. To replace that property would replace a property that reads as not configurable.
  • Not in this PR, as before: a lock that user code takes during the call, and the store for globalThis (Error.captureStackTrace: throw TypeError for a Proxy target, as V8 does #43830).
  • Out of scope check: Error.captureStackTrace accepts a Proxy and does nothing; Node throws #43829 covers the Proxy only. The refusals for a target that is not extensible and for a stack that is not configurable are the subject of this PR. A maintainer asked for them, the program is in the Notes, and no issue exists for them.
