Problem

  • bun build --compile --aot takes if ({ b: 0 }.b) module.exports = 1; for CommonJS, and bun run for an ES module. The parser of bun run folds { b: 0 }.b, [1, 0][1], "ab"[1] and "ab".length. Beside an import, the build stops with a false error: TS100106: Cannot use import statement with CommonJS-only features.
  • The build's model of bun run lacks these folds (fold_member, src/sema/fold/folder_names.rs:70). No user reported this.

Fix

  • src/sema/fold/literal_members.rs states the parser's rule. By it the model finds the code that is dead in bun run.
  • The build takes the dead code, not the value. It evaluates the read as written.
  • Verified: test/aot/fold/what-a-file-is-taken-for.test.ts runs 457 table rows under bun run and in a build. On main the two differ in 264 rows, here in 21 that the table marks.
  • Self-reviewed: 21 concerns raised, 19 addressed. Two in part: nullish_logical_results stays, and AOT: more of bun test --aot, module loading fixes, faster ES5 classes #47571 is not merged yet.

Background

Downsides

  • Fold pass: +15 instructions for a.p, +40 for each further link of a.b.c. +0.26% over 15,210 test programs.
  • Release binary: +28,672 bytes.
  • Main is right in 12 of the 21 marked rows. Example: const c = (Math.PI, 0); if (c) module.exports = 1; is now CommonJS to the build.
Notes

What bun run folds, as the model states it

  • { a: v }.a: one property with a name or an ASCII string for its key. No method, accessor, shorthand, spread, computed key or __proto__. Not behind a ?. that the parser keeps, and not a call target.
  • [v][0] always. [a, v][1] where expr_can_be_removed_if_unused accepts the whole array. The parser asks that after it folded the items, so [-1, 0][1] and [1 + 1, 0][1] fold. A hole is undefined. ...[a, b] is inlined where the parser inlines it, also where the parser selects the list: ...(0, [a, b]).
  • "ab"[1] for ASCII texts, inside the first piece of a joined text. "ab".length in UTF-16 units. "" + "é" is "é": a sum that bun run computes to a text outside ASCII is its last addend.
  • The object and the index can be what the parser selects: (0, [1])[0], (null ?? "ab").length, [1, 0][[] ? 1 : 0].

What a build does with such a read

  • It emits the read as it is written. test/aot/ir/lower/conditions/member-read-of-a-literal-decides-an-arm.js shows the ElemGet and the PropGet, and no call in the dead arm.
  • The value stays out of Decisions::constant, and it is no constant import specifier.
  • The condition is shared. Code behind if ([1, 0][1]) is dead for bun run and for the build.

Operands that bun run keeps

bun run keeps what runs in (a(), 0), [] && 1 and [a()] ? 1 : 2. Main took such a node for a literal, so if (+(a(), 0)) module.exports = 1; was an ES module to the build and CommonJS to bun run. The model now records such a node as folded by the build alone. It knows one as a value and as a condition where the parser does:

  • a && b, a || b and a ?? b have the value and the condition of the operand that bun run has in place of them (find_operand_in_place_of_logical). One that bun run keeps has no value.
  • to_boolean asks a kept && or || by its right side alone. (typeof a() && 2) || module.exports keeps its right side.
  • In a test, under ! and in the test of a ? b : c, simplify_boolean drops a right side that is known and does nothing. if (typeof a() && 2) is if (typeof a()) (is_truthy_as_test_in_bun_run).
  • Where bun run puts a branch in place of a conditional, the conditional has what that branch has, whatever the test has. (typeof b && 0) ? 1 : 2 is 2.

73 table rows pin these.

Literals that bun run computes (after the first review)

The parser folds -1, 1 + 1 and 1 < 2 before it asks whether a value is unused. So the model lets such an operator go with the statement or the list that holds it. The first review found that main's answer to "does bun run compute this" was too wide for that: [module, -("a" + "b")]; became an ES module to a build. The model now states the parser's rules:

  • fold_string_addition joins one + at a time, and only texts that the parser holds in 8 bits. "é" + "a", "a" + "b" + "é" and `é${1}` stay as they are written (add_as_bun_run, is_template_joined_by_build_alone).
  • to_number reads no text that is held in pieces: -("a" + "b") stays (is_text_in_pieces).
  • The parser reads no digits of a BigInt that is written with a radix: "a" + 0x10n, 0x10n === 16n and !0x10n stay. It knows that one is a BigInt and not null, and that two that are written the same are equal: typeof 0x10n, 0x10n ?? x, 0x10n == null and 0x10n === 0x10n fold (has_radix, written_digits).
  • to_null_or_undefined asks what the parser has in place of an operator: x for !!x where x is a boolean by its shape, one template for a sum of templates and literals, the other addend for "" + x. So (`t${a()}` + "b") ?? module.exports keeps its right side. The model does not know each operand that bun run has in place. So it says nothing of ! over a logical or a conditional, and of a sum with a template, a conditional or a logical (nullish_by_shape_of_not, nullish_by_shape_of_sum).

Main had these rules wrong in a condition too. if ("é" + "a" === "éa") {} else module.exports = 1; was an ES module to a build. 109 table rows pin the rules.

Found by the second self-review, and fixed

The second self-review gave no verdict. Four of the 21 concerns come from its probe programs:

  • The first commit took a kept && or || with two known sides for a known condition. 38 probe programs that main answers right were ES modules to a build, for example var v = (typeof a() && 2) || module.exports;.
  • Main takes a decided condition of a kept && or || for a known value, and the first commit kept that. const c = (a(), 1) || 1; if (c === 1) {} else module.exports = 1; is an ES module to a build on main.
  • Main asks x ?? y by the shape of x as it is written. The first commit carried that through a member read, a conditional and a spread. (`t${a()}` + "b") ?? module.exports is an ES module to a build on main.
  • The spread fix of the first review asked held_by_bun_run from inside the walk that held_by_bun_run starts. 14 nested [...(x ? [0] : [])] took 55 s, and 16 ran past 90 s. The list behind a spread is now noted once, where the spread is folded. Two rows with 24 levels pin it.

After the review of 96a7e6a

  • Fixed: two BigInts that are written the same, a conditional behind a test that bun run drops, and ("" + "é").length.
  • Not changed: the rule for ! and for a sum in front of ??. The narrower rule is wrong the other way where the model does not know what bun run has in place. enum E { A = 0 } var b; var v = !(E.A || !(!b || !b)) ?? module.exports; is CommonJS to bun run and an ES module to a build of main. Four rows pin this.
  • Not changed: the test rule and does_nothing_in_bun_run do not follow a comma or a conditional to the operand in place. To know that operand, held_by_bun_run walks what bun run drops, and that walk asks the test rule. Each asking the other costs 2^depth for nested conditionals.

Gaps that the table pins

<bun run> and <a build> differ in 21 rows. In each, the build takes for CommonJS what bun run takes for an ES module. On main the two differ in 264 rows. In 70 of those, the build takes for an ES module what bun run takes for CommonJS.

  • Pure globals. bun run removes a name such as Math.PI or Object that nothing uses. The model removes none: [Math.PI, 0][1], [Object, 0][1], const c = (Math.PI, 0), +(Math.PI, 0). Main is right in the last two by accident: it takes (Math.PI, 0) for a literal, as it takes (a(), 0) for one.
  • Other values that bun run has in place: new Array(1, 0)[1], new Object({ b: 0 }).b, "ab".charCodeAt(0), import.meta.hot, an enum member.
  • A constant whose initializer bun run computes to a text: const s = typeof 1, const s = 1 ? "ab" : "cd".
  • bun run keeps !x and a sum as they are written where no operand stands for them, and knows that they are not null. The model says nothing there: !(!b || !b) ?? x, !!(b || b) ?? x, (a() + `t${a()}`) ?? x, ("x" + (a() ? "x" : "y")) ?? x, ("" + (a() || "y")) ?? x. Main is right in these five.
  • What bun run has in place of a comma, a conditional, a logical or a sum with "". The model does not follow it in two places. In a test: if ((0, (class {} && 1))), if ([] ? ([] && 1) : 0), if ((typeof b && "1") + ""). On one side of a logical where it is a pattern or a function: ((/r/ ?? []) && []) || x, ([] && ("" || (() => 0))) ? 0 : x. Main is right in these five. It takes each &&, || and ?? with a known condition for known, and that rule is wrong for const c = (a(), 1) || 1.

Not in the table

  • A member of a --define value (CONFIG.a, LIST[0], TEXT.length). bun run folds these too. One row in FORMATS_WITH_USER_DEFINES pins that the model does not.
  • A macro result.
  • [x, 0][1] where x is an import binding. expr_can_be_removed_if_unused accepts the binding, and the model does not, as on main. bun run keeps the import loaded when it drops the list. The model drops a TypeScript import whose uses are all dead, so this rule needs tests for which imports a file keeps first.
  • "a" + /b/ and "a".constructor + "". bun run joins these. The model has no text for them, as on main.
  • void `a${0x10n}`. bun run removes a template whose parts are primitives. The model takes a BigInt with a radix for none there.
  • bun --inspect and bun test --coverage turn these folds off. Under them bun run itself takes such a file for CommonJS.

Questions for a maintainer

  1. The value of such a read stays out of Decisions::constant. AOT: more of bun test --aot, module loading fixes, faster ES5 classes #47571 adds Decisions::is_constant_in_bun_run, which then answers false for the name in import(["bun"][0]). Should the record of constants carry the values that bun run alone has? This branch merges with 79841cf of AOT: more of bun test --aot, module loading fixes, faster ES5 classes #47571 without a conflict.
  2. These folds are minifier rules that bun run applies because it turns minify_syntax on. The other way to agree is to stop them where a file can be CommonJS at run time. That changes bun run. This PR follows the rule at src/sema/fold/known_to_bun_run.rs:52 and models them.

Parser PRs that touch the same folds

Tests

  • test/aot/fold/what-a-file-is-taken-for.txt: 457 rows. Each is a file that one program requires. The test file runs the program under bun run and under bun run --debug-aot, 60 rows for each build.

  • test/aot/parallel/commonjs/member-read-of-a-literal-holds-cjs-name: 172 one-case files. Four are TypeScript. Two print from inside the read.

  • More than 200 clauses of the change were disabled, one at a time. Each one fails a test, with two kinds of exception. The filter for an assignment target and a delete operand: no answer of the model reads what such a read would hold. Two shortcuts that change no answer (is_comparison_of_build_alone).

  • About 85,000 probe programs beside the table, most of them from the two self-reviews. bun run ran each, and the model answered for each (cargo test):

    Model ES module to the build, CommonJS to bun run CommonJS to the build, ES module to bun run
    main 4,796 11,328
    this PR 0 2,955

    Main is right in 1,128 of the 2,955: 1,081 are x ?? y where x is a ! or a sum, 43 are of the last kind in the gap list, 3 have a pure global, and 1 is a template with a BigInt with a radix. 3,935 of the programs also ran in a build of this change. The build takes none for an ES module that bun run takes for CommonJS.

  • Six of 15,037 existing test programs get other dead code or constants: bundler/dead-operands.js, bundler/feature-on-and-off, calls/small-function-back-fails-test-modules, errors/operators-of-value-used-once.js, errors/stack-positions-values-folded-constants.js, everyday-corners/call-apply-with-odd-arguments.js. They pass. Two more lost the store that they are about (if (text.length > 1000) parse = String;). They now test process.argv.length > 99.

  • cargo test -p bun_aot --test ir_tests: 2 of 2271 files fail. members/member-chain-of-1900-links.js and members/optional-chain-of-2100-links.ts fail the same way on main in this container (TS100301 in a debug test binary).

  • test/aot/tools/same-output.ts on the 289 small benchmarks: identical IR and machine code.

  • No fuzz source was added. CI runs the table instead.

Measurements (3f3a9ff against the same commit with this change, release builds, x64 Linux)

  • Instructions in user mode, one thread, four runs each, spread under 0.001%: parse, bind and fold of the 15,210 files under test/aot/parallel (3,746,733 expressions, 479,934 member reads) cost 10,899,207,138 on main and 10,927,225,905 here.
  • Per construct, 200,000 statements each. Member reads: a.p +15, each further link of a.b.c +40, a.length +22, a[i] -7, [1, 2, 3].length +10. Operators: a ?? b +57, -a +35, typeof a +28, a && b +17, !a +11, a === b +5, a + b -24, 1 === 2 -25. Conditions: a === b ? c : d +62, a ? b : c -48, if (a) .. -22. Others: [...a] +9, a read of a string constant +9, of a number constant +1, a plain name -15, a number literal -17.
  • A file without such a read, and without a spread of an array literal, allocates nothing new. The two maps and the set are empty until the first one.
  • bun: 140,474,656 bytes on main, 140,503,328 here. Text: 140,287,599 to 140,316,783 (llvm-size).
  • valgrind, perf and bloaty are not in this container. The counts are from test/aot/analysis-scaling/measure-here.ts.

Moved to follow-ups

  • can_be_const_value for initializers that bun run computes (typeof 1, a selected operand, "" + "é").
  • Member reads of --define values.
  • Pure globals in the model's unused-value rule.
  • An import binding in a list that bun run drops.
  • A note of what bun run has in place of a comma, a conditional and a logical, made once where the node is folded, as for a member read. The test rule and does_nothing_in_bun_run can then follow it, and the last gap of the table goes. The note is work for every comma of every file, so it needs its own measurement.
  • The shape of !x and of a sum where bun run knows that they are not null. It needs the operands that the model does not know yet: enum members and constants with a computed text.

`bun run` has the member in place of `{ b: 0 }.b`, `[1, 0][1]`, `"ab"[1]`
and `"ab".length`. The model of `bun run` in bun_sema did not, so a file
whose only name of CommonJS stands behind such a read was CommonJS to
`bun build --compile --aot` and an ES module to `bun run`.

src/sema/fold/literal_members.rs states the rule of the parser. A build
takes the code that is dead by it, and evaluates the read as it is
written: the value stays out of the constants and the import specifiers
of a build.

A comma, a conditional and a logical operator that `bun run` keeps for
what runs in them are no literals to the model either. It still knows
each as a condition.

test/aot/fold/what-a-file-is-taken-for.txt lists programs with what
`bun run` takes each for. A cargo test holds the model to the table, and
the test file beside the table runs each row under `bun run` and in a
build.

Status: closed by a maintainer. #47942 rewrites the front end of the ahead-of-time compiler. Its model of bun run has this fold (fold_read_out_of_literal, src/sema/fold/folder_members.rs, read at ce10cc2, not built here).

How to reproduce on main before #47942

printf '%s\n' 'if ({ b: 0 }.b) module.exports = 1;' 'console.log(typeof arguments);' > a.js
bun a.js                  # undefined: an ES module
bun run --debug-aot a.js  # object on main: CommonJS

With import "node:path"; as the first line, main stops with error: TS100106: Cannot use import statement with CommonJS-only features.

For a comparison after #47942 is in: test/aot/fold/what-a-file-is-taken-for.txt on this branch holds 457 one-line programs, each with the answer of bun run.

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 whether require([1, 0][1] ? "./a" : "./b") leaks a bun-run-only value into the specifier through value_for_build in src/sema/fold/string_affixes.rs — it does not: the condition's truth is real at run time for both bun run and the build, so recording "./b" is correct, and takes_value_of_bun_run_alone only taints the Cond when the selected arm is itself tainted.

Extended reasoning...

The change adds src/sema/fold/literal_members.rs and threads a new folded_by_bun_run_alone set through the AOT folder's data-literal, specifier and truthiness paths; it touches no security-sensitive surface. Four inline findings already signal that a human should look, so this note only records one further candidate that was examined and ruled out.

Walkthrough

The folder now models eligible literal-member reads and tracks expressions folded only by bun run. Removal and build-time analyses use this tracking. New tests compare bun run and build behavior across literal-member expressions and CommonJS module classification.

Changes

Literal member folding and validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Literal reads and fold tracking
src/sema/fold/*
The folder resolves eligible reads from literal objects, arrays, and strings. It tracks replacement expressions and values folded only by bun run, and updates condition and nullish analysis.
Removal and build-time analysis
src/sema/fold/data_literals.rs, src/sema/fold/removed_by_bun_run.rs, src/sema/fold/string_affixes.rs, src/sema/fold/evaluate.rs
Removal analysis recognizes additional literals and member reads. Data-literal and specifier analysis treat expressions folded only by bun run as unknown for builds.
Folding and module-format tests
src/sema/file_analysis/source_tests/*, test/aot/fold/*, test/aot/ir/lower/conditions/*
Tests cover literal-member folding, dead-code analysis, specifier analysis, module-format classifications, await ordering, and IR lowering.
CommonJS classification fixtures
test/aot/parallel/commonjs/member-read-of-a-literal-holds-cjs-name/*
The test entry point loads fixtures covering literal-member reads and related CommonJS names, including optional chains, computed keys, side effects, and varied expression contexts.
Test condition adjustments
test/aot/parallel/loops-callees-replaced/..., test/aot/parallel/untyped-speed/text-members-never-reads-not-twice-parse.js
These tests now use process.argv.length > 99 as the condition for replacing parse and related functions.

- Around line 321-335: Update the ExprKind::Binary and ExprKind::Cond handling
in the known-to-bun-run decider so a bun run-only fold affecting the logical or
conditional result marks the whole expression as runtime-dependent, rather than
relying only on the selected operand’s marker. Preserve runtime lookup of the
resulting specifier for both logical and conditional expressions.

Comment thread src/sema/fold/known_to_bun_run.rs Resolved
`bun run` joins texts one `+` at a time and only where it holds them in 8 bits. It makes no number of a text that it holds in pieces. It reads no digits of a BigInt that is written with a radix. The model of what `bun run` folds now states these rules, so a statement or a list that reads such a value stays where `bun run` keeps it.

A logical has the value and the condition of the operand that `bun run` puts in place. What it keeps has no value, and the condition that its right side decides. In a test, under `!` and in the test of a conditional `bun run` drops a right side that is known and does nothing.

Where `bun run` asks whether a value is null, it asks what it has in place of `!!x` and of a sum. The model says nothing of `!` over a logical or a conditional, and of a sum with a template, a conditional or a logical.

A spread whose operand `bun run` selects is inlined as one that is written as a list. The list behind a spread is noted where the spread is folded, so that nested spreads cost no more than their size.

The table test builds its rows in batches and sets no timeout.

Review follow-up in 96a7e6a:

  • Fixed: the rule that lets a computed literal go with an unused statement trusted a too-wide answer for texts and BigInts. [module, -("a" + "b")]; was an ES module to a build. The model now follows the parser for joined texts, texts outside ASCII, sums of more than two, and BigInts that are written with a radix.
  • Fixed: a spread whose operand bun run selects is inlined.
  • Changed: the table test builds 60 rows in each test and sets no timeout.
  • Not changed: an import binding beside the read item, and the constant specifier behind [,][0] || './fallback'. The threads say why.

A second self-review found four more faults before this push. Two of them are older than this PR. All four are fixed, and the PR notes list them:

  • The first commit took a kept && or || with two known sides for a known condition.
  • Main takes a decided condition of a kept && or || for a known value.
  • Main asks x ?? y by the shape of x as it is written. bun run asks what it has in place of x.
  • Nested spreads of selected lists took exponential time.

The table has 432 rows now. On main a build and bun run differ in 249 of them. With this change they differ in 23, which the table marks. In each of the 23 the build takes for CommonJS what bun run takes for an ES module. Main is right in 14 of them, and the notes name those.

…`"" + text`

`bun run` takes two BigInts that are written the same for equal, whatever the radix. The model folds that comparison for `bun run` too: `0x10n === 0x10n`.

Where `bun run` puts a branch in place of a conditional, the conditional has what that branch has, whatever the test has: `(typeof b && 0) ? 1 : 2` is `2`.

A sum that `bun run` computes to a text outside ASCII is its last addend, behind empty texts. `("" + "é").length` is read from `"é"`.

The table has rows for these. It also has the rows that show why the model says nothing of `!` and of a sum over a logical or a conditional: `bun run` has an operand in place behind an enum member, and behind a constant whose text it computes.

Follow-up to the review of 96a7e6a, in 387f708:

  • Fixed: two BigInts that are written the same compare as under bun run (0x10n === 0x10n).
  • Fixed: a conditional has what the branch in its place has, whatever the test has (((typeof b && 0) ? 1 : 2) === 2).
  • Fixed: ("" + "é").length is read from "é".
  • Not changed: the rule for ! and for a sum in front of ??, and the test rule behind a comma or a conditional. The threads say why, and the table has rows for both.

The table has 457 rows now. On main a build and bun run differ in 264 of them, and in 70 of those the build takes for an ES module what bun run takes for CommonJS. With this change they differ in 21 marked rows, all the other way. Main is right in 12 of the 21.

This push also makes a === b ? c : d and a comparison of two literals cheaper for the fold pass than they were in 96a7e6a. The PR body has the counts for each construct.

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. #47942 has this fold in its own model of bun run: fold_read_out_of_literal in src/sema/fold/folder_members.rs puts the member in place of { a: v }.a, [a, v][1], "ab"[1] and "ab".length, and its module format tests read such members. So I expect that the problem does not show once it is in. I read that branch at ce10cc2 and did not build it.

For a comparison after the merge: test/aot/fold/what-a-file-is-taken-for.txt on this branch holds 457 one-line programs, each with the answer of bun run.
