bundler: bind a name of an external export * to the statement's own namespace import - #47685
In ES module output, other files cannot read a name that a file re-exports with export * from "pkx" (external). Through an entry point: error: No matching export in "e.js" for import "a". Through another file: ReferenceError: pkx is not defined.
In ES module output the statement now runs only in a CommonJS wrapper. Elsewhere an unmatched name binds to a member of the statement's own namespace import (pkx.a): only pkx knows its names.
An exports object copies the names (__reExport(exports_x, pkx)) only for a reader.
The exports object (var exports_x = {}) is what require(), unsplit import() and Object.keys(ns) read.
Weighed: import { a } from "pkx" per reader chunk. CommonJS wrappers and relative paths then need a second route.
Downsides
A default import through such a non-entry file is a build error (1.4.3 built it). A missing name reads undefined (node fails to link).
With --dts (unreleased), a type re-exported by name through such an entry point drops the .aot.ts files.
.text +9,216 B. Allocations: +0 without the statement, +11 for one unread statement.
Notes
Question for a maintainer. For a file that is not an entry point, may a name that is read through an external export * bind at link time to a member of the statement's own namespace import, as this PR does? Or must that read stay a run-time read of the exports object, as in #41220, with the bind kept for entry points only?
What each answer costs, measured on this branch and on #47510:
The run-time route prints the exports object and the __reExport helper once per output: 923 B against 69 B for one named read.
With bun build --dts, a read through the run-time route fails the .aot.ts type check (TS2339: Property 'make' does not exist on type '{}'), and no .aot.ts file is written. With the bind, index.aot.ts has dep.make(...).
The bind gives a build error for a default import, undefined for a name that the module lacks, and the module's namespace as this in a call (see "Cases that stay different from node").
#41220 alone fixes both repros of #15997. This PR also fixes reads through an entry point, which no issue reports. That half comes from a fuzz of the bundler against node.
Stack. The branch is #47510 (268052e), then 1c577f2, a merge of main, and 98808dc. To review this PR alone, read those two commits. The PR targets main because CI builds only a branch that has the head of main, and #47510 does not have it yet. If #47510 merges first, a merge of main leaves only the two commits here. If this PR merges first, #47510 can close. 1c577f2 removes the two interim warnings of #47510 (warn_dropped_reexport_of_external_export_star, lacks_external_names) and replaces the four tests that pin them. The branch is not stacked on #41220: see the question.

How a name binds.
The tracker (advance_import_tracker) finds no export for the name. If the target file reaches an external export *, external_export_star_name answers.
One module: Found, with a symbol of the file that has the statement. That symbol has a namespace alias (pkx.a), and the part of the statement declares it. The existing code for a found export then adds the dependency, binds re-exports and links chunks. One symbol per namespace and name means that two re-exports of the name are one binding.
Two or more modules: the symbol is a member of the exports object of the target file.
require() and import(): the read stays a property of the call result. That result is the exports object. It has the names, and it has properties that the module lacks (__esModule, those of Object.prototype).
default is never a name of export *.
A module that the target disables has no names and is not in the list. A named import through such a statement stays a run-time read (undefined), as a named import of the disabled module itself is. @aws-sdk/credential-provider-web-identity reads fromTokenFile that way in a browser build (bundler: remove export * of a disabled import instead of printing __reExport #47449).
A file in a CommonJS wrapper (one that also assigns exports) that is not an entry point keeps the run-time copy of main: __reExport(exports, pkx) in the wrapper. Its exports is an object of the wrapper, so no bind reaches it.
Different from esbuild on purpose.
esbuild runs the statement in every file that is not an entry point, and gives an entry point no names. Steps 2, 3 and 6 of scan_imports_and_exports and the S::ExportStar arm of convert_stmts_for_chunk differ from it here, as bundler: export an entry point's external export * from its own chunk only #47510 already does for entry points.
The names of an external module go on an exports object before any file runs. So they win over the same name of a CommonJS file that the barrel also re-exports with export *, in both statement orders. esbuild, and CommonJS and IIFE output here, follow the statement order.
Additions to the design plan, with the reason.
generate_entry_point_tail_js tests the namespace alias on the symbol that an export links to (symbols.follow). An export that export * brings from another file's import printed a name with no declaration (found by the fuzz below).
The chunk order check (LoadTimeReads) does not take a read of exports_x.name for a read of a binding of that file. Without it, a shared chunk with an import cycle took an order in which another binding read undefined (fuzz seed 841).
The statement prints * as pkx only when the namespace is in use, so an output without a read keeps its bytes.
Not changed.
CommonJS and IIFE output, and a lifted CommonJS file (module.exports = require("ext")): byte-identical in 10 of 10 and 10 of 10 probes.
A statement whose names nothing reads: the output is byte-identical.
A name that the module does not have reads undefined. Node fails to link. A misspelt name through such a file gets no build error.
A default import, or export { default } from, through such a file that is not an entry point is a build error (No matching export), as it is for an entry point on bundler: export an entry point's external export * from its own chunk only #47510. 1.4.3 built it, and the output ran only with export * from "bun", where it read undefined.
An entry point's re-export of the name by name is a copy, taken when the output loads.
A bare call who() prints pkx.who(), so this is the namespace of the module. Node gives undefined.
Two or more modules: the first module that has a name wins. Node leaves such a name out of the namespace and fails to link a named import of it.
Object.keys order is own names first (b,a).
A TypeScript type that is re-exported by name through such a file is an export with the value undefined. With bun build --dts, the .aot.ts type check then fails (TS2339: Property 'Options' does not exist) and no .aot.ts file is written. bundler: export an entry point's external export * from its own chunk only #47510 dropped that re-export and wrote the files, and also dropped a value (make) in the same position.
A file in a CommonJS wrapper: a read of an own name that the parser lifted (exports.b = 2) throws $b is not defined, because the statement keeps the getter of that name in the wrapper. 1.4.3 prints the same wrapper for export * of a CommonJS file, with no external module. One todo test pins it. An entry point in a CommonJS wrapper keeps the rule of bundler: export an entry point's external export * from its own chunk only #47510: its exports gets no names of the module.
A by-name diamond through two statements of one module in two files still reports Ambiguous import.
X.a on export * as X stays a run-time read.
A name that only dead code reads still makes the statement print * as pkx.

All of test/bundler/ on a debug build of this head (70 files): 3,221 tests pass. One test exceeded its 180 s timeout in that run: "Bun.build can be called thousands of times in one process without crashing". It has no export *, takes 123 to 180 s on a debug build, and passed in a rerun of its file.
No test for bun build --dts or bun compile --library. Their test files exceed the default timeout on a debug build (compile-library.test.ts: 12 of 57 tests, none with the statement). The two typed results above are from the command line.
default/ExternalES6ConvertedToCommonJS passes with this change and keeps its todo: that file is not in this PR. Another test of it (default/TopLevelAwaitForbiddenRequireSourceMapCLI, 40 builds) exceeded the default timeout in 4 of 5 runs on a debug build. edgecase/ExternalES6ConvertedToCommonJSSimplified covers the case.
Self-review. 40 concerns, 35 addressed in the code, the tests or this text. Not taken:
…nk only
With ES module output, an `export * from` of an external module in an entry
point is not evaluated at run time. The statement stayed in the file's part,
so it printed wherever the file printed. The bundle of another entry point
that reaches the file exported the names of the external module. With
`--splitting`, a shared chunk had the statement and the entry point's own
chunk lost the names. Inside an `__esm` wrapper the statement was a syntax
error.
The statement now stays in place only at the top level of the entry point's
own chunk. Anywhere else the file keeps a bare import of the module, and the
tail of an entry chunk re-exports each external module that its entry point
reaches through `export *`. The `export *` walk of `scan_imports_and_exports`
lists these statements per entry point. An entry point that has one keeps its
chunk from absorbing a shared chunk, like an entry point with named exports.
A name of such a module is still not readable through the entry point from
another file of the bundle. Two reads that gave no diagnostic now warn: a
TypeScript re-export that the linker drops as a possible type, and a name read
off `require()` or an unsplit `import()` of the entry point.
A relative path of an external module prints as written. The tail of an
entry chunk now prints one only where it names the same file as its
statement: in a chunk that has the import of the statement, or from the
directory of the statement's file when no chunk prints that import. A
shared chunk that has the import no longer makes the entry chunk name a
second file. A file of another directory whose code is in the entry chunk
has its statement re-exported again.
For a file that is not an entry point, `scan_imports_and_exports` now lists
the external `export *` statements of the entry points it reaches. The two
diagnostics read that list, so a name read through such a file warns like a
direct read.
The warning for a dropped TypeScript re-export moves to
`match_imports_with_exports_for_file`. It fires once, at the statement that
reaches the `export *`, and its note names every external module. The read
of a name off `require()` or `import()` no longer tests for a split import:
such an item never reaches that arm.
The insert into the list of the `export *` walk uses `bun_core::handle_oom`.
…ts import
The tail of an entry chunk printed a relative path of an external module
from the directory of the statement's file when no chunk that loads with
the entry point had the import. The output directory of a chunk can differ
from the source directory of its entry point (an `import()` chunk, an entry
naming template), and `merge_small_chunks` rewrites the entry bits of a
file. The tail now repeats a relative path only when its own chunk has the
import of the statement, so it never names a file that the output did not
name before.
The warning for a dropped TypeScript re-export fired for a statement whose
target has the name, when a later re-export in the chain was the dropped
one. It now fires only for the statement whose own target lacks the name.
Neither warning fires for `default`, which `export *` does not re-export.
The note gives the `export type` advice only in a TypeScript file.
… namespace import
In ES module output, `export * from "pkx"` of an external module does
not copy names when it runs, in an entry point or in any other file.
Step 3 lists the external `export *` statements that each file reaches.
A name that no export of such a file matches binds in step 4:
- With one module, the name is a member of the namespace that the
statement imports (`pkx.a`). The member is one symbol per namespace and
name, declared by the part of the statement, so every reader depends
on that part.
- With two or more modules, the name is a member of the exports object
of the file.
- A name read off `require()` or `import()` stays a read of that object.
The part that declares an exports object copies the names of each
module with `__reExport`. Tree shaking keeps that part only for a reader
of the object. After tree shaking, a statement whose namespace is in use
gets `CONTAINS_IMPORT_STAR`, and prints `import * as pkx from "pkx"`.
The `__reExport` call at the statement has no ES module variant left.
The chunk order check (`LoadTimeReads`) does not take a read of a member
of an exports object for a read of a binding of that file. A module that
the target disables is not in the list. A lifted CommonJS file keeps the
rule it had.
The flag on the record of the statement, and two of the tests, are from
#41220.

How I reproduced it, with a release build of #47510 (268052e):
mkdir -p node_modules/pkx
echo'{"type":"module"}'> package.json
echo'{"name":"pkx","type":"module","main":"index.js"}'> node_modules/pkx/package.json
echo'export const a = 1;'> node_modules/pkx/index.js
printf'export * from "pkx";\nexport const b = 1;\n'> e.js
printf'import { a } from "./e.js";\nconsole.log(a);\n'> e2.js
bun build ./e.js ./e2.js --target=node --format=esm --outdir=o --external pkx
# error: No matching export in "e.js" for import "a"
bun build ./e2.js --target=node --format=esm --outdir=o --external pkx && node o/e2.js
# ReferenceError: pkx is not defined
With this PR both commands build, and node o/e2.js prints 1.
CI on 98808dc (build 136702): no test of this PR failed. Every red test is also red on the builds of the last merged PRs (136399, 136407, 136269): 28 files under test/aot/ and test/bundler/compile-aot-size.test.ts. They are reported as breaks on main. The size budget of compile-aot-size (--trim, 25,880,000 B) is exceeded on main too: 25,961,444 B there, 25,957,348 B on this branch. The other failures passed on a retry.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
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 two behavior changes called out in the description: the hard build error for import def from "./lib.js" through a non-entry file that only has an external export * (the default exclusion in external_export_star_name is deliberate and tested, and matches the entry-point behavior already on the base), and the --target=bun output switching from var bun = globalThis.Bun to a real import * as bun from "bun" when a name is read through export * from "bun" (the ImportRecordTag::Bun downgrade in import_used_external_star_namespaces is intentional and only fires for used namespaces). Both are design choices rather than defects, but they change user-visible output and tie into the maintainer question in the description, so a human should weigh them.
Extended reasoning...
The change reworks ESM output for external export * across the Rust bundler linker (steps 3, 4, 5 and chunk ordering in src/bundler/LinkerContext.rs and src/bundler/linker_context/), adding new linker state and symbol-generation helpers, plus ~1200 lines of bundler tests. It touches no security-sensitive surface. Four inline findings are posted, and the PR itself asks a maintainer a design question about binding at link time versus the run-time route, so human review is needed regardless.
Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):
🟡 src/bundler/LinkerContext.rs — nit: the SAFETY comment on the raw named_imports pointer is now inaccurate. It says the loop body mutates only imports_to_bind/log/symbols/meta.probably_typescript_type, but through match_import_with_export the body now reaches external_star_member (LinkerContext.rs:313), which also mutates module_scope (via generate_new_symbol), top_level_symbol_to_parts_overlay, external_star_namespaces and external_star_members. Fix: update the SAFETY text to list what is mutated and state that the named_imports column is still untouched, which is the fact the pointer derefs rely on.
Why this was flagged
src/bundler/LinkerContext.rs:4760-4764 justifies dereferencing named_imports_ptr, keys and values by enumerating everything the loop body mutates. After this change the loop body calls src/bundler/LinkerContext.rs:4797 match_import_with_export, which reaches src/bundler/LinkerContext.rs:4065 external_export_star_name and then src/bundler/LinkerContext.rs:313 external_star_member; that function calls generate_new_symbol (pushes into items_module_scope_mut()), writes items_top_level_symbol_to_parts_overlay_mut()[owner], and inserts into external_star_namespaces and external_star_members. The named_imports column is still not written, so the unsafe code stays sound, but REVIEW.md requires SAFETY comments to be accurate and this one no longer is. The base branch's enumeration was complete.
Verification: nit. Triggered whenever a named import resolves through an external export *. The SAFETY comment at src/bundler/LinkerContext.rs:4760-4764 states the loop body mutates only imports_to_bind/log/symbols/meta.probably_typescript_type. The loop body now reaches external_star_member, which mutates module_scope, so the enumeration is inaccurate, though named_imports is still untouched.
…JS wrapper
A file that assigns `exports` and has `export * from "pkx"` gets a
CommonJS wrapper when another file requires it. Its `exports` is an
object of the wrapper, so no link-time bind reaches it. In ES module
output the statement of such a file, when it is not an entry point,
runs in the wrapper as it does on main: `__reExport(exports, pkx)`.
The record of the statement gets `CONTAINS_IMPORT_STAR`, so the
namespace that the call reads has an import (the source change of
#41220).
`external_star_member` sets the namespace alias through the safe symbol
table API. The SAFETY comment of `match_imports_with_exports_for_file`
lists what its loop mutates now.
Co-authored-by: Jarred Sumner <jarred@jarredsumner.com>
The SAFETY comment of match_imports_with_exports_for_file lists what the loop mutates now.
external_star_member uses the safe symbol table API.
A file in a CommonJS wrapper that is not an entry point has the run-time copy of the names again. Its thread has the two limits that stay.
No change for a named import through export * of a disabled module. Its thread has the reason.
The branch also has a merge of main, because CI builds only a branch that has the head of main. The PR now targets main, so its diff includes #47510. The two commits of this PR are 1c577f2 and 98808dc.

Walkthrough
The linker now tracks external export * statements in ES-module output, resolves unmatched imports through external namespaces or exports objects, and emits re-exports in entry-point chunks. The changes also adjust import-cycle ordering and add tests for bytecode, HTML output, wrappers, and code splitting.
The linker records eligible external export-star statements and their namespaces. Unmatched named imports resolve through namespace members or exports-object members. Tree shaking updates namespace import records, and load-time-read analysis filters selected namespace-export dependencies.
Chunk conversion handles namespace imports and side-effect imports. Entry-point post-processing prints eligible external export-star statements and applies path deduplication and relative-path checks. Entry chunks with external stars are pinned.
Tests cover named and namespace reads, runtime re-exports, wrapped entries, HTML output, bytecode, split chunks, and import-cycle ordering. The ExternalES6ConvertedToCommonJSSimplified test no longer has a todo annotation.
Suggested reviewers: jarred-sumner
Severity of issue fixed: Medium
Merge Risk: Low · up to 98808
External-star output can silently lose re-exports if tail printing fails. This is a bounded, rare failure path worth fixing; the other confirmed limitations are pre-existing or have unresolved attribution.

Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Objective [#15997]: an ES module build of a file with export * from "<external>" must not emit a __reExport call that references an undefined namespace. The reviewed head changes convert_stmts_for_chunk (src/bundler/linker_context/convertStmtsForChunk.rs). When ES syntax is preserved and no runtime re-export runs, the statement now becomes import "path" (side-effect import) or, for an entry point, keeps the export and adds a namespace import only when that namespace is read. The diff shows no __reExport emission on this ES path. The PR summary says the entry tail prints export * from after the entry point, and that __reExport stays only in CommonJS-wrapped files, where the namespace is declared. The issue input (export * from "node:crypto" plus a named import from the same module) therefore no longer yields the undefined reference. Limit: I did not run a build. The PR reports that #41220 and this PR both fix both repros of #15997, and that 91 bundler tests fail on #47510 and pass here. I relied on those reported results and the diff, not on the new test files.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
Changes outside the literal #15997 repro are tied to the same external export * statement path. These are: reads of names through entry points and non-entry files (the namespace bind in convertStmtsForChunk and linker import matching), entry-tail printing of external stars (postProcessJSChunk), the import-cycle ordering exclusion in LoadTimeReads (findAllImportedPartsInJSOrder), the debug assertion in generateCodeForFileInChunkJS, and entry-chunk pinning in mergeSmallChunks. The PR states that the entry-point read fix is not reported by the issue, but it shares the root cause (the unmatched-name statement). Relative-path handling (#25144) is limited to the same statement and is covered by a todo test. The added tests exercise these paths, so they support the change. The PR documents behavior differences from node and 1.4.3 (default import build error, undefined for missing names, this in bare calls, --dts effects). These are consequences of the chosen design, not unrelated edits. The PR also leaves an open maintainer question on the design (bind at link time versus run-time read). That question concerns design choice, not scope. Limit: I did not inspect the test files or the other changed modules beyond the convertStmtsForChunk diff.

Beyond the inline finding, I also checked the entry-tail dedupe in generate_entry_point_tail_js (src/bundler/linker_context/postProcessJSChunk.rs:1352-1362), which keys on record.path.text alone: a relative external path is only re-emitted when the statement's file has parts in the chunk and prints as written, so two records with the same text would print the same export * from line and collapsing them loses nothing. The latest push (98808dc) swaps the unsafe symbol_mut for the safe symbols.get_mut and restores the __reExport copy for a CommonJS-wrapped non-entry file in ESM output, with a test for that case.

This is a ~2,500-line change to the Rust bundler's linker (LinkerContext.rs, scanImportsAndExports.rs, doStep5.rs, convertStmtsForChunk.rs, postProcessJSChunk.rs) adding new per-file state for external export * chains and a new link-time binding path, plus a design question the author explicitly asks a maintainer to settle. It touches no security-sensitive surface. The size, the intentional divergences from esbuild, and the open design question mean a human bundler maintainer should decide, so this run only records what else was examined and ruled out.

Keep entry re-exports of external export * names live.
At src/bundler/linker_context/postProcessJSChunk.rs:964-967, the namespace-alias check follows the resolved symbol. For export { n } from "./lib.js", where lib.js gets n from export * from "pkx", the check is true. The copy branch at lines 974-979 then emits a local that holds the value from load time. ES module re-exports are live bindings. Importers of the entry do not see later changes to the external n.
The fixture edgecase/ExternalExportStarNameReadIsLive asserts the copied value (2\n2). Its comment states that Node prints 3.
Renaming the test or documenting the difference does not change the emitted binding. Change the entry-tail emission so the entry reads the external name live. Then update the fixture expectation to match.

src/bundler/linker_context/postProcessJSChunk.rs:1355-1360 Minor · Functional Correctness · Heavy lift
Resolve relative external export * paths against the entry output file.
An entry chunk prints a relative external export * as written. A re-export from a module in a subdirectory therefore keeps a path that is relative to the source directory, not to the output file. For /lib/index.js that re-exports ./sub/mid.js, which in turn re-exports ./ext.js, the emitted /out/index.js contains export * from "./ext.js". ESM resolves that to /out/ext.js, not to /out/sub/ext.js. The EntryPointExternalExportStarRelativePathOfOtherDirectory case covers this layout and is marked todo: true.
Note: this behaviour predates this PR (already present at merge base 3f3a9ff87cdc); the change keeps it reachable.

On the two follow-up findings of the last review. No change for either.
An entry point's re-export of a star name is a copy, not a live binding. A live re-export needs export { n } from "pkx" in the entry chunk. That statement makes the output fail to link in three cases where the copy loads:
The name is a TypeScript type that a file re-exports by name. The linker cannot tell it from a value of the module.
The module is CommonJS and node does not detect the name.
The file reaches two modules, so no one module can be named. A relative path also prints only in a chunk that has the import.
The copy is what the tail already prints for a name of a CommonJS file. edgecase/ExternalExportStarNameReadIsLive pins it, and the Notes list it under "Cases that stay different from node". A read inside the bundle is live.
A relative path of an external module prints as written. That is #25144 and is older than this PR. Two todo tests pin the two-directory cases.

Question for a maintainer. For a file that is not an entry point, may a name that is read through an external
export *bind at link time to a member of the statement's own namespace import, as this PR does? Or must that read stay a run-time read of the exports object, as in #41220, with the bind kept for entry points only?__reExportcall at the statement, which bundler: name the namespace of an external export * in a non-entry module #41220 repairs, stays only for a file in a CommonJS wrapper. The source change of bundler: name the namespace of an external export * in a non-entry module #41220 is here for that file, and so are its two tests, with credit in the commits. bundler: name the namespace of an external export * in a non-entry module #41220 can close.What each answer costs, measured on this branch and on #47510:
__reExporthelper once per output: 923 B against 69 B for one named read.bun build --dts, a read through the run-time route fails the.aot.tstype check (TS2339: Property 'make' does not exist on type '{}'), and no.aot.tsfile is written.

This PR also fixes reads through an entry point, which no issue reports. That half comes from a fuzz of the bundler against node.
Stack. The branch is #47510 (268052e), then 1c577f2, a merge of main, and 98808dc. To review this PR alone, read those two commits. The PR targets main because CI builds only a branch that has the head of main, and #47510 does not have it yet. If #47510 merges first, a merge of main leaves only the two commits here. If this PR merges first, #47510 can close. 1c577f2 removes the two interim warnings of #47510 (
warn_dropped_reexport_of_external_export_star,lacks_external_names) and replaces the four tests that pin them. The branch is not stacked on #41220: see the question.Repro.
