What does this PR do?

29 separate changes, one commit each, in Blob, Bun.write, FileSink, fetch, Response, the S3 client and the streams. The last three answer the checks and the reviews of the first 26 on this PR: a lint finding (27), and two older bugs beside lines that this PR touches (28 and 29). They follow #47291, #47317, #47338, #47382, #47393, #47414, #47871 and #47893 and work the same way: signatures name the type and the lifetime that the value already has, hand-written pointer code becomes plain ownership and borrows that the compiler checks, and what was never needed is deleted.

Together: 131 fewer unsafe blocks, 11 fewer unsafe fns and 3 fewer unsafe impls, +819/−1567 over 48 files. No safe function became unsafe, and no wrapper type was added. Where the compiled code changes lists every place where the program does different work.

The commits can be reviewed one at a time.

Worth knowing before reading on:

  • Change 13 fixes a leak, with a test. Every Bun.file(path).formData() leaked a buffer the size of the file.
  • Change 29 fixes what the GC is told, with a test. A Blob from .blob() of a Bun.Image counted as 440 bytes, whatever it held.
  • Two more leaks and a dangling borrow end, on paths that are rarely taken.
    • Change 1: Archive.files() leaked a Blob when the conversion of a name failed.
    • Change 5: on a signing error, list_objects freed its options while the callee still held a reference to them.
    • Changes 21 and 28: RewriterPipe::init leaked a Response with both refs, and the pipe, when the clone of the headers failed.
  • Seven changes end an aliasing or contract bug that had no visible effect.
    • Change 1: BlobExt::to_js(&self) was a safe function that was only right for a pointer from Blob::new.
    • Change 3: a &mut FileSink was live while the pump ran JS that reaches the sink through another pointer.
    • Change 15: the same for a &mut Response in FetchTasklet.
    • Change 21: make_maybe_pooled was a safe function that dereferenced whatever pointer it was given.
    • Change 25: fetch and new Request made a &mut to a Request and a Response that script holds.
    • Change 10: a guard wrote into self through a raw pointer while a &mut self method ran.
    • Change 26: the JS thread and the HTTP thread each made a &mut ThreadSafeStreamBuffer from their shared pointer before they had the lock.
  • Ownership is in the types: what is handed over arrives as a value, a Box or a RefPtr (changes 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 14 and 21). The messages of changes 3 and 21 follow the ref count on each path.
  • Three changes cost a little: nine callers copy a 120-byte Blob once more on its way to JS (change 1), the file-copy loop makes one store more per system call (change 10), and a read of a file calls code that was inline in seven places (change 27). All three are described below.
  • Fewer allocations: one per Bun.write (change 4), a clone of the credentials per S3 read (5), and a boxed copy of the URL and a second parse per streamed upload to s3:// (23).
  • Twelve functions that C++ calls take references or Option<Box<T>> (change 14). The message names the call sites and what they pass.
  • Dead code goes: an exported C symbol named c and two unsafe impl Send (change 20), and an arm of get_current_response that could not be taken (15).
  • Parts of four changes are compiled only for Windows: 2 (ReadFileUV), 3 (the Windows arm of Blob.writer()), 4 (WriteFileWindows) and 11 (CopyFileWindows, ReadFileUV).

Where the compiled code changes

This comparison covers the first 26 changes. Changes 27 to 29 follow at the end of the section.

I compared the release assembly (x86-64 Linux, --emit=asm) of all 134 crates of the workspace, before and after. For 113 of them the files are the same byte for byte, among them bun_s3_signing, which this PR touches. The other 21 I compared function by function, with names demangled and labels normalised. In 19 of the 21 no function differs: what differs is line numbers in the debug information, the paths of the two checkouts and, in one function of bun_sql_jsc, the commit's own hash.

Crate Functions Differ Other constants or names only Same length Shorter Longer Instructions Branches Compares Calls Panic call sites
19 crates, among them bun_jsc, bun_http_jsc, bun_install, bun_bundler and bun_core 14,372 0
bun_http 376 8 8 0 0 0 −30 −1 −1 −4 −1
bun_runtime 11,207 135 27 44 39 25 −584 −96 −90 −98 −19

The last five columns are net, and count the functions that exist on one side only: 22 only before and 16 only after, which were removed, renamed or inlined, or are no longer inlined. Eleven more functions of impl BlobExt for Blob have the same code under another mangled name, because change 2 puts an impl in front of theirs. 17 of the 27 functions in the fourth column differ only in such a name.

Two of the 26 changes cost something.

  • A Blob on its way to JS is copied once more in nine places (change 1). Every caller used to move its Blob (120 bytes) to the heap inline. into_js(self) does that now, in a function of its own (68 instructions). A caller that has lent its local Blob out before (&blob) first copies it into the argument slot. That is 8 loads and 8 stores more per call of Bun.file(), blob.slice(), Request.blob(), Response.blob(), Body::Value::resolve, S3Client.file() (static and on an instance), construct_s3_file and per entry of Archive.files(). Each of these also allocates the Blob and a JS object. In the other nine callers the Blob is copied as often as before. 14 of the 18 callers are between 14 and 50 instructions shorter, most of them with 3 or 4 branches, 4 calls and a panic site fewer.
  • The copy loop stores its total once per system call (change 10). The guard that wrote read_len on every exit is a wrapper around the loop now, and the loop adds to a &mut total. The compiler inlines the wrapper and not the loop, so the total lives in memory: one store more after each copy_file_range, sendfile or splice. The six instances of the loop go from 171–354 to 181–366 instructions, and CopyFile::run from 979 to 993.

Checks. No path makes a check that it did not make before, apart from the bug fix. These are all the functions in which the listing shows more conditional branches, compares or panic call sites than before, and why:

Function Listing Why
ToFormDataWithBytesFn::call, and the closure of NewReadFileHandler that calls it 12 to 30 and 55 to 65, +1 branch and +1 call each The bug fix (change 13): they free the bytes that were read.
TextEncoder__encode16 1 to 187 It was a jump to encode16_impl (187), whose other caller was the export that nothing used (change 20). The two are one function now.
ReadFileCompletionFns::of::cancel for the read handlers 1 to 27, +6 branches, +4 calls It was a jump to the drop of the boxed handler (27), which the compiler now puts here (change 2).
S3Client.file() (static), construct_s3_file 97 to 119 and 6 to 40, +2 and +1 branches construct_internal_js (61) is inline in its two callers (change 1).
Archive.files()'s run_from_js 191 to 199, +3 branches, −2 calls, −1 panic site Change 1. It drops the Blob on the path where the conversion of a name fails, where it leaked it.
Blob__onStructuredCloneDeserialize 561 to 561, +1 branch, +1 compare, −4 calls Changes 1 and 10. The guard's drop (41) goes, and the Blob is dropped at the two exits that need it. Four boxes are not made.
WriteFileWaitFromLockedValueTask::then_wrap 296 to 313, +3 branches, +4 calls Change 8. It read the promise once at the top and reads it in each of the four arms, so once per path as before. It called the drop of the box at four places, and that drop is inline at one.
FetchTasklet::queue 562 to 566, +1 branch, +1 compare, +1 call, +1 panic site Change 26. ThreadSafeStreamBuffer::new (21, in bun_http) is gone. The same allocation, with its test, is inline here.
Blob::from_url_search_params 130 to 146, +1 panic site Change 22. Store::init is inline: the same allocation with its test. One free fewer.
FileSink::pipe_stream 451 to 452, +1 branch, +3 compares, −1 call Change 3. It borrows the caller's RefPtr: one load more, and one increment, one decrement and the call of destroy fewer. The compiler duplicates a test at three exits.
Blob.writer() 766 to 771, +1 branch, +1 call Change 3. One increment fewer. The compiler duplicates one exit, with its free.
Change What differs Effect
2 The six run functions of the read handlers go from 229 to 215, with 2 branches fewer. For Bun.Image, cancel goes from 53 to 45, run from 50 to 42, on_read_bytes from 22 to 13 the task's done from 65 to 57 and Image::schedule from 570 to 565, with 4 branches fewer. Same reads.
3 Apart from the two rows above: end_from_js goes from 432 to 396 with 6 branches fewer, assign_to_stream from 424 to 417, Subprocess::get_stdin from 107 to 101, FileSink::to_js from 11 to 10. pipe_readable_stream_to_blob and spawn_maybe_sync, which has Writable::init inline, are 1 longer. The ref count goes up and down less often. The message follows it on each path.
4 write_file_with_source_destination goes from 1,832 to 1,792 (with 1), WriteFile::then from 108 to 99 with 4 calls fewer. One closure of the job is 1 shorter and one 4 longer. One allocation fewer per Bun.write.
5 list_objects keeps its 517, and its resolve goes from 505 to 509. The drop of the boxed wrapper (116) is the drop of the options (110). S3BlobDownloadTask::init keeps its 154, and its callback goes from 147 to 153. One clone of the credentials fewer per S3 read.
6 Writable::to_js goes from 82 to 92 and the two flush_from_js from 72 to 77 and from 129 to 137: they call Strong::value where they called Strong::get, and keep the new handle on the stack for that. Same promise.
9 AsyncFSTask::schedule is a function of its own for stat, fstat and unlink (140, 127 and 138), and create forwards to it. Blob.stat() goes from 163 to 125 with 5 branches and 6 calls fewer, and unlink from 131 to 127. run_async goes from 156 to 163 for fstat and from 223 to 224 for unlink. For the 37 other operations schedule is inline in create, which keeps its length and uses other registers. Blob.stat() no longer sets up the VM's NodeFS on first use, and unlink no longer takes a path buffer from the pool for a Binding that nothing read.
12, 13 to_form_data goes from 228 to 201, with 5 branches fewer. to_form_data_with_bytes (112) has no type argument. Same form data.
14 Body::Value::from_js goes from 369 to 351, Blob__fromMmapWithType from 133 to 129. Same values.
15, 16 FetchTasklet::on_progress_update goes from 1,619 to 1,560, with 11 branches and 10 calls fewer. on_resolve keeps its 310. Same body.
21 Response::make_maybe_pooled (31) is Response::to_js (30). HTMLRewriter::begin_transform goes from 1,406 to 1,405. Same wrapper.
21, 23, 24, 25 fetch_impl::<false> goes from 4,666 to 4,629, with 5 branches, 7 calls and 2 panic sites fewer. Two URL::parse, a memcpy, a memmove, a shrink of the buffer and two bounds checks go. Same request.
23 s3_stream_wrapper_resolve goes from 181 to 165, with 4 branches and 5 calls fewer. The URL's string is made when the upload starts, not when it ends. One boxed copy of the URL and one parse fewer per streamed upload to s3://.
26 In bun_http, ThreadSafeStreamBuffer::new, acquire and release go (21, 7 and 2), report_drain (9) belongs to the guarded state, and 8 functions differ in the offsets of its fields. HTTPClient::flush_stream::<false>, which is instantiated in bun_runtime, goes from 126 to 129. The lock is taken and released where it was.

Changes 7, 11, 17, 18 and 19 ask for the same operations in the same order. Where they show up at all, it is in registers. What changes 2, 3, 4 and 11 do to code for Windows is not compiled on Linux.

Changes 27 to 29 I compared in the same way, the first 26 commits against all 29. 133 of the 134 crates give the same file byte for byte. In bun_runtime 10 of 11,205 functions differ, and together they have 599 instructions, 32 branches, 33 compares, 33 calls and 18 panic call sites fewer:

Change What differs Effect
27 ReadFile::create was inline in its seven callers, which call it now. to_string, to_json, to_json_source, to_form_data and the two to_array_buffer_view, which have do_read_file inline, are 88 to 90 shorter, and Image::schedule goes from 565 to 486. create goes from 104 to 107, with 1 branch, 1 compare and 1 panic site more: the expect on the store is there now. One call more per read of a file. The same work otherwise.
28 HTMLRewriter::begin_transform, which has init inline, goes from 1,405 to 1,415, with 1 branch more and 1 call fewer. The exit for a failed clone drops the Rc of the context, which it leaked with the pipe.
29 PipelineTask::then keeps its 741 and calls into_js (68) where it called JsClass::to_js. The bug fix: the size is computed and the GC is told.

The comparisons cover x86-64 Linux only, one crate at a time. The build that ships also inlines across crates when it links.

The changes in detail

1. webcore: a new Blob goes to JS by value (BlobExt::into_js)

BlobExt::to_js(&self) was a safe fn that cast &self to *mut Blob and gave that pointer to the JS wrapper, which is only right for a pointer that came from Blob::new. Every caller therefore wrote let ptr = Blob::new(blob); unsafe { BlobExt::to_js(&*ptr, global) }, and some set fields through the raw pointer in between.

into_js(self) takes the Blob by value, computes the estimated size, boxes it with Blob::new and hands the pointer to the wrapper. Callers set their fields on the value first. on_structured_clone_deserialize keeps a Blob value to the end, so its error paths drop it instead of running two deinit guards, one of them over a raw pointer. construct_s3_file_internal had one caller and is gone.

Archive.files() now drops the Blob instead of leaking it when name.to_js fails.

2. webcore: a file read's completion stays a Box from creation to run

do_read_file and Image's BlobReadChain boxed their handler, turned it into a raw pointer at once, wrote its promise through the pointer, and each unsafe fn run(ctx: *mut Self, ..) / on_read_bytes(this: *mut Self, ..) took the box back by hand. The read buffer travelled the same way: a *mut [u8] that both consumers turned back into the Box<[u8]> it was.

ReadFileCompletion::run/cancel and ReadBytesHandler::on_read_bytes take self: Box<Self>, read_bytes_to_handler takes Box<H> and is safe, and ReadFileRead::buf is a Box<[u8]>. The only raw pointer left is the erased ctx of ReadFileCompletionFns: of makes it from the box and its two shims take the box back, so its fields are private.

Erasing the type also erases its lifetimes, so the handler types are bound by 'static. NewReadFileHandler and BlobReadChain held a &'a JSGlobalObject from the call that started the read; they hold a BackRef<JSGlobalObject>.

A ReadBytesHandler is a ReadFileCompletion through one blanket impl, which replaces Adapter, InternalReadFileFn and NewInternalReadFileHandler.

NewReadFileHandler::run moves the blob out of the box instead of swapping a default one in. The box is still freed before the promise is settled.

3. webcore: FileSink's entry points take the RefPtr their callers hold

to_js, to_js_for_subprocess, pipe_stream and assign_to_stream took &mut self. Every caller holds a RefPtr<FileSink>, which has no DerefMut, so they wrote unsafe { (*sink.as_ptr()).pipe_stream(..) } or went through Writable::pipe_sink_mut. Inside, the functions turned &mut self back into the raw pointer they hand to the controller, the JS wrapper and the pump's reactions, and took a guard ref with unsafe { RefPtr::init_ref(..) }. That &mut FileSink was also live while the pump ran JS that reaches the sink through the controller's pointer.

pipe_stream and assign_to_stream take this: &RefPtr<FileSink>: the pointers come from as_non_null() / as_ptr(), and the fields, all Cell/JsCell, are read through Deref. The borrow of the caller's RefPtr keeps the sink alive for the call, so the two guard refs go.

to_js and to_js_for_subprocess take the RefPtr by value. The wrapper used to take a ref of its own and every caller dropped its ref right after the call; the caller's ref is the wrapper's.

JSSink::create_object takes the NonNull it stores. pipe_sink_mut is deleted.

4. webcore: Bun.write's promise travels as a JSPromiseStrong, not a boxed WriteFilePromise

write_file_with_source_destination boxed a WriteFilePromise, turned the box into a raw pointer, and two lines later took it back with unsafe. The job carried the box, WriteFile::then leaked it again to pass it as *mut c_void to a fn pointer that was always WriteFilePromise::run, and run needed four unsafe blocks to take it apart. The struct also needed a hand-written unsafe impl JsAffine for its *const JSGlobalObject.

The job's JS half is (JSPromiseStrong, BackRef<JSGlobalObject>), both JsAffine already, stored in the job itself: one allocation fewer per write. settle is run's body on &mut JSPromise and &JSGlobalObject. WriteFilePromise and WriteFileOnWriteFileCallback are deleted.

The global stays the one the promise was made in. then's cx.global() is the VM's own global, which is a different one for a write started in a ShadowRealm.

WriteFileWindows holds the same two values in place of the callback and its context, and takes the promise out before deinit. create_with_ctx becomes create, which only forwarded to it.

5. webcore: the S3 tasks are set up before into_raw and borrow from the caller's Blob

S3BlobDownloadTask::init leaked its box first and then went through the raw pointer twice: to ref the keep-alive, and to read the path and credentials out of the dupe's store. read_bytes_to_handler stashed the path as a raw slice and cloned the credentials for the same reason. The dupe shares its Store with the &Blob both functions are given, so they read it from there, finish the box while it is still a Box, and then leak it. The credentials clone goes with it.

The downloaded bytes went *mut [u8] -> &mut [u8] -> *mut [u8] on their way to ReadFileToJs::call: S3ReadHandler takes the raw slice, under that function's contract. call_handler only forwarded to the handler and is written out in its one caller.

list_objects kept its options in the leaked Wrapper only to borrow them back through the pointer. resolve never reads them and s3_client::list_objects uses them only to build the query string, so they stay a local, freed on return. On a signing error the callback runs inside that call and frees the wrapper, which used to free the options the callee was holding a reference to.

6. streams: WritablePending::promise returns the JSValue every caller wants

It returned *mut JSPromise, made from the strong's value with as_promise() and two unwraps. All nine callers turned the pointer straight back into that value: FileSink with unsafe { (*promise).to_js() }, the others with JSPromise::opaque_ref(p).to_js() and its null check.

It returns strong.value(). For a new promise the value is read before the strong moves into self.future, so the second match with its unreachable!() arm goes too.

7. webcore: FormDataContext names the lifetime its entries have

on_entry and push_string_slice took their slices with an anonymous lifetime and stretched three of them with detach_lifetime to put them into the joiner. The names, string values, file names and blobs all belong to the DOMFormData that from_dom_form_data borrows until after joiner.done(), which is the lifetime the context already has.

Both functions take 'a now, so the pushes type-check as they are, and the claim sits on the derefs in the DOMFormData__forEach callback. FormDataEntry::File holds &Blob: resolve_size takes &self.

8. webcore: WriteFileWaitFromLockedValueTask settles through the JSPromiseStrong it owns

then took a raw *mut JSPromise out of this.promise on entry, freed this in three of the arms and then settled through the pointer. It owns the box, so each arm asks this.promise for the promise where it settles it, and the box is freed when then returns. The arm that waits for another callback does not look the promise up at all.

write_file_internal reads the promise's value while the task is still a Box, and both sites leak it with into_raw_nn.

9. node:fs: AsyncFSTask::schedule for callers that have no Binding

AsyncFSTask::create takes a &Binding only because run_async calls every create through one function pointer type; it never reads it. To have one to pass, Blob::stat cast the VM's NodeFS pointer to a &Binding in three places, and unlink built a whole Binding::default().

The body of create is schedule, without that parameter, and create forwards to it. The four callers outside node:fs call schedule, and Binding no longer derives Default.

10. webcore: replace two drop guards over raw pointers

write_file_with_empty_source_to_destination took &mut Blob and kept a *mut Blob for the guard that detaches it, because a guard over the &mut would have blocked the reads in between. Everything it calls on the blob takes &self, so it takes &Blob and the guard holds a copy of that.

CopyFile::do_copy_file_range counted into a local and had a guard copy it to self.read_len through two raw pointers on the way out, one of them into self while self.fallback_read_write(..) ran. Its body moves to copy_file_range_loop, which counts through a &mut SizeType. do_copy_file_range owns the counter and stores it in read_len after the call, on success and on failure: one store, as the guard did.

11. webcore: leak a Box with heap::release, borrow a JsCell with as_mut

NewSource::new_mut, CopyFileWindows::init and ReadFileUV::start_with_ctx turned a fresh Box into a raw pointer and dereferenced it at once to get a &mut. That is Box::leak, which heap::release spells for an allocation that is freed elsewhere.

s3::client::readable_stream did the same by hand on top of NewSource::new. It calls new_mut, and new, which has no other caller, is deleted.

FileSink::source has &mut self, so it can use the safe JsCell::as_mut instead of get_mut.

12. Blob: finish a value before it is boxed; to_form_data_with_bytes takes &[u8]

from_url_search_params stored the MIME type through the new store's raw pointer, and jsdom_file_construct and Blob__fromMmapWithType set Cell fields through the pointer Blob::new had just returned. Each of them still owns the value one line earlier, so the store is built with its MIME type and the fields are set before Blob::new.

to_form_data_with_bytes only reads its bytes and never looked at its const parameter. It is a safe function over &[u8]; to_form_data passes shared_view().

13. Blob: Bun.file(path).formData() frees the bytes it read

A file read hands its buffer to ReadFileToJs::call as a leaked Box<[u8]> with Lifetime::Temporary, and the callee has to free it. ToFormDataWithBytesFn::call ignored the lifetime, so every Bun.file(path).formData() leaked a buffer the size of the file.

It holds the buffer in a TemporaryBytes for that lifetime, as to_string_with_bytes and to_json_with_bytes do. The parser copies everything the FormData keeps. The S3 path passes Lifetime::Clone and still only lends its bytes.

14. webcore: functions exported to C++ take references and Option<Box<T>>

Twelve exported functions took raw pointers and turned them into references, or into a Box, in their first lines. None has a Rust caller, and the functions next to them already take &JSGlobalObject, &ReadableSinkController and &mut bool.

  • The four TextEncoderStreamEncoder__* steps take &TextEncoderStreamEncoder. Both fields are a Cell and a RefCell, so the reference may span the chunk's string coercion, which runs user JS. The pointer was already read before the coercion and used after it.
  • Both destroyForStream functions take Option<Box<T>> and drop it: the same null test and the same free.
  • TextDecoder__createForStream takes &mut bool and &mut EncodingLabel.
  • JSS3File__bucket, __presign and __stat take &Blob and &JSGlobalObject; Body__jsonSource and Response__createFromParts take &JSGlobalObject.

The callers: encodeAndEnqueue (JSTextEncoderStream.cpp) makes all four encoder calls with m_encoder, under runNativeArm, which defers nativeTransformReleaseState until the arm returns; the destroy functions get std::exchange(p, nullptr) from the finalizers of the two stream cells and from nativeTransformReleaseState, and the possibly null decoder from the error path of JSTextDecoderStreamConstructor::construct, which is also the one caller of createForStream and passes the addresses of bool utf8FastPath = false and uint8_t encoding = 0 (Utf8); getterS3File_bucket, functionS3File_presign and functionS3File_stat (JSS3File.cpp) pass wrapped(), a void* const set at construction, of a checked downcast; the last two are entries of the generated table of direct functions, which declares their first parameter as the realm, and are reached through it by compiled code and by functionCallingDirectly (InternalForTesting.cpp), which passes the JSGlobalObject* of its own host call there.

15. fetch: FetchTasklet::on_body_received needs no raw pointer

Three raw pointers in one function, none of them needed:

  • body was kept as *mut BodyValue "because borrowck can't see through the accessors". Response::get_body_value and get_fetch_headers both take &self, so the &mut BodyValue can simply be kept. No JS runs between the place it is taken and BodyValue::resolve, which already got it as &mut.
  • The buffer reset ran in a scopeguard::defer! that reached scheduled_response_buffer through a raw pointer taken before the &mut self calls of the body. The body is now deliver_body, and on_body_received resets the buffer after it returns, whatever it returns: every return and every ? of the body ends up there, after the body's own locals are dropped, which is when the guard ran. Panics abort, so there is no other way out.
  • current_response_mut made a &mut Response of any lifetime out of &self, and it was live while ByteStream::on_data ran JS that reaches the same Response. Every method called on it takes &self. Both places read self.native_response.get().as_deref(), as on_response_finalize does: a &Response that borrows one field, so scheduled_response_buffer can still be borrowed mutably next to it.

get_current_response also fell back to the wrapper behind the weak response handle. That arm could not be taken. on_resolve is the only place that fills the handle, and it sets native_response right after. clear_data and abandon_response_body, the only places that set native_response to None, clear the handle on the line before. So there is no wrapper to find when native_response is None, and the arm is gone.

16. fetch: FetchTasklet::get borrows from a &'static mut tasklet

get turned the fresh tasklet pointer into a reference of a lifetime it picked, borrowed request_headers.buf, request_body and unix_socket_path from it and widened each borrow to 'static with Interned::assume. The reference can be 'static itself, which is what the three calls claimed one by one. After those borrows the function only names single fields of the tasklet, so the borrow checker accepts the writes to http and the other fields next to them. The one unsafe deref carries the reason: the three fields are not touched until clear_data, which drops the AsyncHTTP first.

17. s3: the request setup keeps the &mut AsyncHTTP that MaybeUninit::write returns

The three functions that start an S3 request wrote task.http and, a few lines down, asked for the same reference again with assume_init_mut(). MaybeUninit::write already returns it.

execute_simple_s3_request held a shared &'static task and went back to the raw pointer for everything that needs &mut: signal_store.to(), the write of http, http_ticket and context. It takes &'static mut like list_objects, which builds the same S3HttpSimpleTask, and like download_stream, which sets up its S3HttpDownloadStreamingTask the same way: the 'static loans are on sign_result.url, headers.buf, body and proxy_url, and the fields it writes are others. Only arm_owner, which wants the raw pointer, is still unsafe.

18. s3: multipart callbacks borrow from their ref guard; root is set through the reference

single_send_upload_response and start_multi_part_request_result adopt the request's ref into a RefPtr guard and then dereferenced the raw pointer a second time, with a comment promising that the reference does not outlive the guard. &*guard is the same pointer, and the borrow checker holds it to that promise.

writable_stream and upload_stream dereferenced the fresh task pointer once to set root, a Cell, and once more for the shared reference they keep. They take the reference first and set root through it.

19. s3: get_sign_error_message returns &'static str

The six messages were byte-string literals, and error_jsc.rs turned them back into &str with from_utf8_unchecked to format them. They are string literals instead, and get_sign_error_code_and_message, the one user that wants bytes, calls as_bytes().

20. webcore: remove an exported function and two unsafe impl Send that nothing uses

  • TextEncoder.rs exported a C symbol named c, a copy of TextEncoder__encode16. No C, C++, Rust or TypeScript source declares or calls it, and none of the linker lists (symbols.txt, symbols.def, linker.lds, linker-freebsd.lds) names it. encode16_impl, which the two shared, has one caller left and is written into it, the way TextEncoder__encode8 is written.
  • CompressionStreamCoder and AsyncInput were declared Send by hand, and no bound asks for it. Both are used only in their own file, as fields of CompressionAsyncCtx, which has an unsafe impl Send of its own: it needs one either way, because RefPtr<T>: Send wants T: Sync too. That impl's comment takes over the reason the coder's impl gave, and AsyncInput::slice, whose SAFETY comment pointed at the other one, the reason that one gave.

The inventory of the vm-thread-door lint is regenerated.

21. webcore: Response::to_js takes the RefPtr whose ref the wrapper adopts

Response::to_js was an unsafe fn over a raw pointer whose contract was "the caller owns a ref, which the wrapper adopts". That is what a RefPtr<Response> passed by value means. It gives the wrapper the pointer, sets js_ref and the body's stream ref through the RefPtr it still holds, and lets go of the ref with into_raw at the end. make_maybe_pooled, a safe function that dereferenced whatever pointer it was given, is gone. Response::clone returns a RefPtr, and the callers build theirs with RefPtr::new, which is Box::new plus into_raw.

The count, per path:

  • JsClass::to_js, do_clone, construct_json_response, redirect, error, from_parts, data_url_response, the file: branch of fetch_impl and both arms of S3StreamWrapper::resolve: it starts at 1 and the wrapper adopts that ref. No increment and no decrement, before and after.
  • FetchTasklet::on_resolve: it starts at 1 and is incremented once, before and after. The tasklet keeps the ref it made and the wrapper gets the clone, so the increment comes before to_js instead of after it. native_response is still set before attach_abort_signal, which still wants the raw pointer.
  • RewriterPipe::init: it starts at 1 and is incremented once for the pipe, before and after; the path that finds no cell still drops the pipe's ref with the pipe.

RewriterPipe::init clones the headers of the original before it makes the Response, not after, so that no RefPtr is live across the ? on that clone. The clone runs no script and touches neither the pipe nor the new Response. When it fails, the Response is not allocated, where it was allocated and leaked with both refs. That path still leaks the pipe. (Change 28 ends that.)

22. webcore: drop five detours through raw pointers that the signatures do not need

  • Request::ensure_fetch_headers kept the content type as *const [u8] "across the field borrow". body_value() and headers_mut() both take &self, so it can stay a &[u8]. The deref of the ByteBlobLoader pointer stays.
  • Request::construct_into did the same with ct_ptr. ct is already live across req.headers_mut() in the condition above, and StringView has no drop glue, so the temporary does not reach the &mut req of bail!.
  • Response::write_format took &mut Body out of the JsCell for Body::write_format, which takes &self.
  • Body.rs had a shim that turned the &mut DOMFormData of DOMFormData::from_js into a raw pointer, which its one caller turned back.
  • URLSearchParams::from_js handed out a NonNull, a second shim made it a raw pointer, and the same caller made it a &mut. from_js was a safe function already and that was its only use. It returns Option<&'a URLSearchParams>, as DOMFormData::from_js<'a> does, but shared: the type is an opaque zero-sized handle, and to_string only calls the C++ toString() const.

23. fetch: S3StreamWrapper keeps the URL string it needs, not a URL that borrows its sibling

For a streamed upload to s3://, fetch() boxed url_proxy_buffer, parsed the URL a second time out of the box through a lifetime eraser, took the proxy href out of it through another, and stored the parsed URL next to the box it borrows from. resolve only ever read url.href, to make the Response's URL string from it, and upload_stream copies the path and the proxy href before it returns.

The wrapper holds that BunString, and upload_stream gets url.s3_path() and proxy.href of the URLs that are already parsed. The same bytes as before: URL::parse keeps its whole input as href.

The string is made when the upload starts instead of when it ends, once and on the JS thread in both cases, and moved into the Response. The into_boxed_slice and the second parse are gone, and the buffer is freed when fetch() returns.

On the four early returns of upload_stream (a disturbed or invalid stream, a Bytes or File source that already failed) the string is made although the callback never runs. Those paths leaked the wrapper before and still do.

24. fetch: url and proxy borrow url_proxy_buffer

fetch_impl parsed its two URLs through parse_url_detached!, a macro that erased the lifetime of the slice, because url_proxy_buffer is replaced twice while the two variables exist. At each replacement both are only overwritten next, never read, and dropping a URL<'a> does not touch 'a, so a plain borrow is accepted once the statements are in the order "build the new buffer, store it, parse from it".

  • The proxy option: the buffer is stored before the two parses, not after.
  • The signed S3 URL with a proxy: the old buffer was moved aside so that proxy_.href stayed readable and dropped by hand at the end. It is read before the new buffer is stored, which drops the old one.
  • has_proxy is read before the S3 branch instead of after it. Otherwise proxy is live across the arm that replaces the buffer when there is no proxy. The branch never changes whether there is one.
  • That leaves nothing that reads the proxy the S3 branch parsed again from the new buffer, so that parse is gone.

The old buffers are freed before the parses instead of after them. Nothing else differs. The eraser behind FetchOptions, which moves the buffer together with the URLs that borrow it, stays.

25. webcore: two &mut to a wrapper's payload become &

fetch_impl reborrowed the Request it was given as &mut at six places, and Request::construct_into took a &mut Response out of its argument. Script holds the same objects, and every method called on either takes &self, like the &Request that construct_into takes a few lines above.

fetch_impl keeps the raw pointer and a fresh reborrow per use, instead of one &Request for the whole function: option getters run between the uses, and script can call server.upgrade(request) there, which writes request_context, a plain field.

26. http: ThreadSafeStreamBuffer is a Guarded, and its methods take &self

The buffer and its drain callback sat next to a bare Mutex, and every method, lock included, took &mut self. So the JS thread (stream_buffer_mut) and the HTTP thread (from_attached) each made a &mut ThreadSafeStreamBuffer out of their shared pointer before they had the lock: two &mut to one object on two threads.

The two fields are a State inside bun_threading::Guarded, which hands out &mut State only under the lock. lock and clear_drain_callback take &self, report_drain is a method of the locked State, and from_attached and Stream::buffer_ref return &Self. StreamBufferGuard, acquire, release and set_drain_callback are gone.

  • The three HTTP-thread users (write_to_stream, and drain_send_body of h2 and h3) took the lock with acquire() and gave it back with release() on each path. Each holds one guard and has a drop(locked) at every place a release() was, always before the detach() that can free the buffer. Nothing runs under the lock that did not, or outside it that was inside.
  • FetchTasklet borrows the buffer from its request_body_streaming_buffer field. That is a borrow of one field, so self.http.as_mut() next to it stays legal, which is what the accessor's invented lifetime was for. The two guards there live as long as before.
  • The drain callback is an argument of new, so FetchTasklet::get no longer writes it through the fresh raw pointer.

Same mutex, same lock and unlock calls. report_drain loses its debug assertion that the lock is held: it can only be reached through the guard.

The struct, of which there is one per streamed request body, goes from 56 to 64 bytes in a release build for x86_64 Linux (size_of): the 4-byte mutex and the 4-byte count no longer share a word, because the padding inside Guarded<State> cannot be reused. A debug build has 72 bytes before and after.

mordant.toml no longer lists StreamBufferGuard among the lock guards, and mordant-baseline.toml loses the finding that from_attached was.

27. webcore: ReadFile::create takes the Blob it reads

do_read_file::<F> is compiled once for each of its six F, and do_read_file_internal::<C> once for each C. Both made their ReadFile in the same way: clone the blob's store, read its offset and its size, call ReadFile::create, and unwrap a Result that is never Err. None of that depends on the type parameter, and mordant's generic_body_not_generic reports it in do_read_file.

create takes &Blob, does these steps itself and returns the ReadFile. It has no other caller. The store is still cloned before do_read_file makes its promise.

28. HTMLRewriter: RewriterPipe::init clones the headers before it allocates the pipe

The ? on clone_init_headers stood after the pipe was allocated and its lol-html rewriter built. Nothing owns the pipe's first ref until its wrapper cell exists, so that exit leaked the pipe, the rewriter and the pipe's Rc of the context. The exit for a failed wrapper, further down, releases the ref by hand.

The clone needs only original and the global object, runs no script, and touches nothing that init builds. It is now the first statement, so its ? has nothing to release.

No test. WebCore__FetchHeaders__cloneThis fills a new, empty FetchHeaders, and for an empty one FetchHeaders::fill copies three vectors and returns no exception. So the ? is taken only when an exception is pending for another reason, such as a termination.

29. Bun.Image: .blob() tells the GC the size of its bytes

PipelineTask handed its Blob to JS with JsClass::to_js, which boxes the value and makes the wrapper. It does not call calculate_estimated_byte_size, so reported_estimated_size stayed 0 and the GC counted the wrapper alone: 440 bytes for a Blob that holds a 14 KB PNG.

It calls BlobExt::into_js, as Bun.file(), blob.slice() and Response.blob() do. into_js computes the size first. Its test for an S3 store is false here, because Blob::init makes a store of bytes.

The new test compares estimateShallowMemoryUsageOf(blob) with blob.size.

How did you verify your code works?

  • Static checks on the final commits: cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy --workspace (0 warnings), the source lints and cargo check --workspace --release on Linux, and cargo check --workspace --release for x86_64-pc-windows-msvc and aarch64-apple-darwin, because four changes touch code that only Windows compiles.
  • Assembly: the comparison above.
  • The test of change 13 fails on a debug build of the base (memory grows by 131 MiB, the bound is 64) and passes on a debug build of these commits.
  • The test of change 29 fails on a debug build without that change (the estimate is 440, and the Blob holds 14,578 bytes) and passes with it.
  • 12 test files on the final commits, for changes 27 to 29, on a debug build with ASAN, all at once: image.test.ts, image-adversarial, html-rewriter.test.js, blob.test.ts, blob-write, blob-file-name-ownership, body.test.ts, body-clone, bun-write, FormData.test.ts, FormData-file-error-leak and readable-stream-blob-consumed. All pass completely, 1,733 tests.
  • 30 test files on the first 26 commits, on a debug build with ASAN, all at once and each cut off after 50 seconds: files for Blob, Body, fetch, Bun.write, FileSink, the S3 client, streams, TextDecoderStream, FormData and Bun.Image.
    • 27 files pass completely, 2,130 tests. None fails.
    • 3 files were cut off: direct-readable-stream, body-stream and streams.test.js.
  • After the assembly comparison and the 30 files had run, a rebase brought in one more commit of main (Fixes in node:net, node:http, node:http2, node:stream, node:quic, node:worker_threads, node:crypto and Bun.password #47836). It left all 26 patches here as they were. The static checks ran after it.
  • 277 test files before an earlier rebase, which brought in 31 commits of main and left all 26 patches here as they were. They ran on a debug build with ASAN, six at a time, and the files that failed also on a debug build of the base. They are all of test/js/web/fetch, web/workers, web/streams, web/encoding, web/html, web/request, web/url, web/abort, test/js/workerd, bun/s3, bun/spawn, bun/image, bun/io, bun/stream, bun/archive-golden and node/fs, 28 files of bun/http, 10 of bun/util and 4 more.
    • 260 files pass completely, 18,895 tests.
    • 12 files fail in the same tests on both builds (the number of failing tests in brackets): proxy (it needs axios, which I did not have), bun-write-leak (1), spawn_waiter_thread (1), spawn-pipe-leak (3), streams-string-limit (1), fetch-tcp-stress (4), streams-leak (1), fs.test.ts (1), request-clone-leak (1), abort-signal-leak-read-write-file (1), serve-body-leak (1) and fetch-leak (2).
    • 3 files fail in fewer tests than on the base, on time limits with six files running: fetch-abort-slow-connect (2, base 3), worker-terminate-funnels (1, base 9) and worker.test.ts (1, base 2).
    • spawn-stdin-pipe-fd-leak failed once with six files running (25 descriptors still open, the bound is fewer than 25). Alone it passes 6 of 6 times, and 5 of 5 on the base.
    • fetch.test.ts fails in "should allow to follow redirect if connection is closed". Alone that test fails 3 of 3 times on both builds.
  • After the 277 files had run I removed one #[inline(always)] attribute from change 9.

`BlobExt::to_js(&self)` was a safe fn that cast `&self` to `*mut Blob` and
gave that pointer to the JS wrapper, which is only right for a pointer that
came from `Blob::new`. Every caller therefore wrote
`let ptr = Blob::new(blob); unsafe { BlobExt::to_js(&*ptr, global) }`, and
some set fields through the raw pointer in between.

`into_js(self)` takes the `Blob` by value, computes the estimated size, boxes
it with `Blob::new` and hands the pointer to the wrapper. Callers set their
fields on the value first. `on_structured_clone_deserialize` keeps a `Blob`
value to the end, so its error paths drop it instead of running two `deinit`
guards, one of them over a raw pointer. `construct_s3_file_internal` had one
caller and is gone.

`Archive.files()` now drops the `Blob` instead of leaking it when
`name.to_js` fails.
`do_read_file` and `Image`'s `BlobReadChain` boxed their handler, turned it
into a raw pointer at once, wrote its promise through the pointer, and each
`unsafe fn run(ctx: *mut Self, ..)` / `on_read_bytes(this: *mut Self, ..)`
took the box back by hand. The read buffer travelled the same way: a
`*mut [u8]` that both consumers turned back into the `Box<[u8]>` it was.

`ReadFileCompletion::run`/`cancel` and `ReadBytesHandler::on_read_bytes` take
`self: Box<Self>`, `read_bytes_to_handler` takes `Box<H>` and is safe, and
`ReadFileRead::buf` is a `Box<[u8]>`. The only raw pointer left is the erased
`ctx` of `ReadFileCompletionFns`: `of` makes it from the box and its two shims
take the box back, so its fields are private.

Erasing the type also erases its lifetimes, so the handler types are bound by
`'static`. `NewReadFileHandler` and `BlobReadChain` held a
`&'a JSGlobalObject` from the call that started the read; they hold a
`BackRef<JSGlobalObject>`.

A `ReadBytesHandler` is a `ReadFileCompletion` through one blanket impl, which
replaces `Adapter`, `InternalReadFileFn` and `NewInternalReadFileHandler`.

`NewReadFileHandler::run` moves the blob out of the box instead of swapping a
default one in. The box is still freed before the promise is settled.
`to_js`, `to_js_for_subprocess`, `pipe_stream` and `assign_to_stream` took
`&mut self`. Every caller holds a `RefPtr<FileSink>`, which has no `DerefMut`,
so they wrote `unsafe { (*sink.as_ptr()).pipe_stream(..) }` or went through
`Writable::pipe_sink_mut`. Inside, the functions turned `&mut self` back into
the raw pointer they hand to the controller, the JS wrapper and the pump's
reactions, and took a guard ref with `unsafe { RefPtr::init_ref(..) }`. That
`&mut FileSink` was also live while the pump ran JS that reaches the sink
through the controller's pointer.

`pipe_stream` and `assign_to_stream` take `this: &RefPtr<FileSink>`: the
pointers come from `as_non_null()` / `as_ptr()`, and the fields, all
`Cell`/`JsCell`, are read through `Deref`. The borrow of the caller's `RefPtr`
keeps the sink alive for the call, so the two guard refs go.

`to_js` and `to_js_for_subprocess` take the `RefPtr` by value. The wrapper used
to take a ref of its own and every caller dropped its ref right after the
call; the caller's ref is the wrapper's.

`JSSink::create_object` takes the `NonNull` it stores. `pipe_sink_mut` is
deleted.
…boxed `WriteFilePromise`

`write_file_with_source_destination` boxed a `WriteFilePromise`, turned the box
into a raw pointer, and two lines later took it back with `unsafe`. The job
carried the box, `WriteFile::then` leaked it again to pass it as `*mut c_void`
to a fn pointer that was always `WriteFilePromise::run`, and `run` needed four
`unsafe` blocks to take it apart. The struct also needed a hand-written
`unsafe impl JsAffine` for its `*const JSGlobalObject`.

The job's JS half is `(JSPromiseStrong, BackRef<JSGlobalObject>)`, both
`JsAffine` already, stored in the job itself: one allocation fewer per write.
`settle` is `run`'s body on `&mut JSPromise` and `&JSGlobalObject`.
`WriteFilePromise` and `WriteFileOnWriteFileCallback` are deleted.

The global stays the one the promise was made in. `then`'s `cx.global()` is
the VM's own global, which is a different one for a write started in a
`ShadowRealm`.

`WriteFileWindows` holds the same two values in place of the callback and its
context, and takes the promise out before `deinit`. `create_with_ctx` becomes
`create`, which only forwarded to it.
…e caller's `Blob`

`S3BlobDownloadTask::init` leaked its box first and then went through the raw
pointer twice: to ref the keep-alive, and to read the path and credentials out
of the dupe's store. `read_bytes_to_handler` stashed the path as a raw slice
and cloned the credentials for the same reason. The dupe shares its `Store`
with the `&Blob` both functions are given, so they read it from there, finish
the box while it is still a `Box`, and then leak it. The credentials clone
goes with it.

The downloaded bytes went `*mut [u8]` -> `&mut [u8]` -> `*mut [u8]` on their
way to `ReadFileToJs::call`: `S3ReadHandler` takes the raw slice, under that
function's contract. `call_handler` only forwarded to the handler and is
written out in its one caller.

`list_objects` kept its options in the leaked `Wrapper` only to borrow them
back through the pointer. `resolve` never reads them and
`s3_client::list_objects` uses them only to build the query string, so they
stay a local, freed on return. On a signing error the callback runs inside
that call and frees the wrapper, which used to free the options the callee
was holding a reference to.
…r wants

It returned `*mut JSPromise`, made from the strong's value with `as_promise()`
and two `unwrap`s. All nine callers turned the pointer straight back into that
value: `FileSink` with `unsafe { (*promise).to_js() }`, the others with
`JSPromise::opaque_ref(p).to_js()` and its null check.

It returns `strong.value()`. For a new promise the value is read before the
strong moves into `self.future`, so the second `match` with its
`unreachable!()` arm goes too.
`on_entry` and `push_string_slice` took their slices with an anonymous
lifetime and stretched three of them with `detach_lifetime` to put them
into the joiner. The names, string values, file names and blobs all
belong to the `DOMFormData` that `from_dom_form_data` borrows until after
`joiner.done()`, which is the lifetime the context already has.

Both functions take `'a` now, so the pushes type-check as they are, and
the claim sits on the derefs in the `DOMFormData__forEach` callback.
`FormDataEntry::File` holds `&Blob`: `resolve_size` takes `&self`.
…omiseStrong` it owns

`then` took a raw `*mut JSPromise` out of `this.promise` on entry, freed
`this` in three of the arms and then settled through the pointer. It owns
the box, so each arm asks `this.promise` for the promise where it settles
it, and the box is freed when `then` returns. The arm that waits for
another callback does not look the promise up at all.

`write_file_internal` reads the promise's value while the task is still a
`Box`, and both sites leak it with `into_raw_nn`.
`AsyncFSTask::create` takes a `&Binding` only because `run_async` calls
every `create` through one function pointer type; it never reads it. To
have one to pass, `Blob::stat` cast the VM's `NodeFS` pointer to a
`&Binding` in three places, and `unlink` built a whole
`Binding::default()`.

The body of `create` is `schedule`, without that parameter, and `create`
forwards to it. The four callers outside `node:fs` call `schedule`, and
`Binding` no longer derives `Default`.
`write_file_with_empty_source_to_destination` took `&mut Blob` and kept a
`*mut Blob` for the guard that detaches it, because a guard over the
`&mut` would have blocked the reads in between. Everything it calls on the
blob takes `&self`, so it takes `&Blob` and the guard holds a copy of that.

`CopyFile::do_copy_file_range` counted into a local and had a guard copy
it to `self.read_len` through two raw pointers on the way out, one of them
into `self` while `self.fallback_read_write(..)` ran. Its body moves to
`copy_file_range_loop`, which counts through a `&mut SizeType`.
`do_copy_file_range` owns the counter and stores it in `read_len` after the
call, on success and on failure: one store, as the guard did.
…s_mut`

`NewSource::new_mut`, `CopyFileWindows::init` and
`ReadFileUV::start_with_ctx` turned a fresh `Box` into a raw pointer and
dereferenced it at once to get a `&mut`. That is `Box::leak`, which
`heap::release` spells for an allocation that is freed elsewhere.

`s3::client::readable_stream` did the same by hand on top of
`NewSource::new`. It calls `new_mut`, and `new`, which has no other caller,
is deleted.

`FileSink::source` has `&mut self`, so it can use the safe
`JsCell::as_mut` instead of `get_mut`.
…kes `&[u8]`

`from_url_search_params` stored the MIME type through the new store's raw
pointer, and `jsdom_file_construct` and `Blob__fromMmapWithType` set
`Cell` fields through the pointer `Blob::new` had just returned. Each of
them still owns the value one line earlier, so the store is built with its
MIME type and the fields are set before `Blob::new`.

`to_form_data_with_bytes` only reads its bytes and never looked at its
const parameter. It is a safe function over `&[u8]`; `to_form_data`
passes `shared_view()`.
A file read hands its buffer to `ReadFileToJs::call` as a leaked
`Box<[u8]>` with `Lifetime::Temporary`, and the callee has to free it.
`ToFormDataWithBytesFn::call` ignored the lifetime, so every
`Bun.file(path).formData()` leaked a buffer the size of the file.

It holds the buffer in a `TemporaryBytes` for that lifetime, as
`to_string_with_bytes` and `to_json_with_bytes` do. The parser copies
everything the `FormData` keeps. The S3 path passes `Lifetime::Clone` and
still only lends its bytes.
Twelve exported functions took raw pointers and turned them into references,
or into a `Box`, in their first lines. None has a Rust caller, and the
functions next to them already take `&JSGlobalObject`,
`&ReadableSinkController` and `&mut bool`.

- The four `TextEncoderStreamEncoder__*` steps take `&TextEncoderStreamEncoder`.
  Both fields are a `Cell` and a `RefCell`, so the reference may span the
  chunk's string coercion, which runs user JS. The pointer was already read
  before the coercion and used after it.
- Both `destroyForStream` functions take `Option<Box<T>>` and drop it: the same
  null test and the same free.
- `TextDecoder__createForStream` takes `&mut bool` and `&mut EncodingLabel`.
- `JSS3File__bucket`, `__presign` and `__stat` take `&Blob` and
  `&JSGlobalObject`; `Body__jsonSource` and `Response__createFromParts` take
  `&JSGlobalObject`.

The callers: `encodeAndEnqueue` (JSTextEncoderStream.cpp) makes all four
encoder calls with `m_encoder`, under `runNativeArm`, which defers
`nativeTransformReleaseState` until the arm returns; the destroy functions get
`std::exchange(p, nullptr)` from the finalizers of the two stream cells and
from `nativeTransformReleaseState`, and the possibly null `decoder` from the
error path of `JSTextDecoderStreamConstructor::construct`, which is also the
one caller of `createForStream` and passes the addresses of
`bool utf8FastPath = false` and `uint8_t encoding = 0` (`Utf8`);
`getterS3File_bucket`, `functionS3File_presign` and `functionS3File_stat`
(JSS3File.cpp) pass `wrapped()`, a `void* const` set at construction, of a
checked downcast; the last two are entries of the generated table of direct
functions, which declares their first parameter as the realm, and are reached
through it by compiled code and by `functionCallingDirectly`
(InternalForTesting.cpp), which passes the `JSGlobalObject*` of its own host
call there.
Three raw pointers in one function, none of them needed:

- `body` was kept as `*mut BodyValue` "because borrowck can't see through the
  accessors". `Response::get_body_value` and `get_fetch_headers` both take
  `&self`, so the `&mut BodyValue` can simply be kept. No JS runs between the
  place it is taken and `BodyValue::resolve`, which already got it as `&mut`.
- The buffer reset ran in a `scopeguard::defer!` that reached
  `scheduled_response_buffer` through a raw pointer taken before the `&mut self`
  calls of the body. The body is now `deliver_body`, and `on_body_received`
  resets the buffer after it returns, whatever it returns: every `return` and
  every `?` of the body ends up there, after the body's own locals are dropped,
  which is when the guard ran. Panics abort, so there is no other way out.
- `current_response_mut` made a `&mut Response` of any lifetime out of `&self`,
  and it was live while `ByteStream::on_data` ran JS that reaches the same
  `Response`. Every method called on it takes `&self`. Both places read
  `self.native_response.get().as_deref()`, as `on_response_finalize` does: a
  `&Response` that borrows one field, so `scheduled_response_buffer` can still
  be borrowed mutably next to it.

`get_current_response` also fell back to the wrapper behind the weak `response`
handle. That arm could not be taken. `on_resolve` is the only place that fills
the handle, and it sets `native_response` right after. `clear_data` and
`abandon_response_body`, the only places that set `native_response` to `None`,
clear the handle on the line before. So there is no wrapper to find when
`native_response` is `None`, and the arm is gone.
`get` turned the fresh tasklet pointer into a reference of a lifetime it picked,
borrowed `request_headers.buf`, `request_body` and `unix_socket_path` from it
and widened each borrow to `'static` with `Interned::assume`. The reference can
be `'static` itself, which is what the three calls claimed one by one. After
those borrows the function only names single fields of the tasklet, so the
borrow checker accepts the writes to `http` and the other fields next to them.
The one `unsafe` deref carries the reason: the three fields are not touched
until `clear_data`, which drops the `AsyncHTTP` first.
…rite` returns

The three functions that start an S3 request wrote `task.http` and, a few lines
down, asked for the same reference again with `assume_init_mut()`.
`MaybeUninit::write` already returns it.

`execute_simple_s3_request` held a shared `&'static` task and went back to the
raw pointer for everything that needs `&mut`: `signal_store.to()`, the write of
`http`, `http_ticket` and `context`. It takes `&'static mut` like
`list_objects`, which builds the same `S3HttpSimpleTask`, and like
`download_stream`, which sets up its `S3HttpDownloadStreamingTask` the same
way: the `'static` loans are on `sign_result.url`, `headers.buf`, `body` and
`proxy_url`, and the fields it writes are others. Only `arm_owner`, which wants
the raw pointer, is still `unsafe`.
…rough the reference

`single_send_upload_response` and `start_multi_part_request_result` adopt the
request's ref into a `RefPtr` guard and then dereferenced the raw pointer a
second time, with a comment promising that the reference does not outlive the
guard. `&*guard` is the same pointer, and the borrow checker holds it to that
promise.

`writable_stream` and `upload_stream` dereferenced the fresh task pointer once
to set `root`, a `Cell`, and once more for the shared reference they keep. They
take the reference first and set `root` through it.
The six messages were byte-string literals, and `error_jsc.rs` turned them back
into `&str` with `from_utf8_unchecked` to format them. They are string literals
instead, and `get_sign_error_code_and_message`, the one user that wants bytes,
calls `as_bytes()`.
…nothing uses

- `TextEncoder.rs` exported a C symbol named `c`, a copy of
  `TextEncoder__encode16`. No C, C++, Rust or TypeScript source declares or
  calls it, and none of the linker lists (`symbols.txt`, `symbols.def`,
  `linker.lds`, `linker-freebsd.lds`) names it. `encode16_impl`, which the two
  shared, has one caller left and is written into it, the way
  `TextEncoder__encode8` is written.
- `CompressionStreamCoder` and `AsyncInput` were declared `Send` by hand, and no
  bound asks for it. Both are used only in their own file, as fields of
  `CompressionAsyncCtx`, which has an `unsafe impl Send` of its own: it needs
  one either way, because `RefPtr<T>: Send` wants `T: Sync` too. That impl's
  comment takes over the reason the coder's impl gave, and `AsyncInput::slice`,
  whose SAFETY comment pointed at the other one, the reason that one gave.

The inventory of the `vm-thread-door` lint is regenerated.
…dopts

`Response::to_js` was an `unsafe fn` over a raw pointer whose contract was "the
caller owns a ref, which the wrapper adopts". That is what a `RefPtr<Response>`
passed by value means. It gives the wrapper the pointer, sets `js_ref` and the
body's stream ref through the `RefPtr` it still holds, and lets go of the ref
with `into_raw` at the end. `make_maybe_pooled`, a safe function that
dereferenced whatever pointer it was given, is gone. `Response::clone` returns a
`RefPtr`, and the callers build theirs with `RefPtr::new`, which is `Box::new`
plus `into_raw`.

The count, per path:

- `JsClass::to_js`, `do_clone`, `construct_json_response`, `redirect`, `error`,
  `from_parts`, `data_url_response`, the `file:` branch of `fetch_impl` and both
  arms of `S3StreamWrapper::resolve`: it starts at 1 and the wrapper adopts that
  ref. No increment and no decrement, before and after.
- `FetchTasklet::on_resolve`: it starts at 1 and is incremented once, before and
  after. The tasklet keeps the ref it made and the wrapper gets the clone, so
  the increment comes before `to_js` instead of after it. `native_response` is
  still set before `attach_abort_signal`, which still wants the raw pointer.
- `RewriterPipe::init`: it starts at 1 and is incremented once for the pipe,
  before and after; the path that finds no cell still drops the pipe's ref with
  the pipe.

`RewriterPipe::init` clones the headers of the original before it makes the
`Response`, not after, so that no `RefPtr` is live across the `?` on that clone.
The clone runs no script and touches neither the pipe nor the new `Response`.
When it fails, the `Response` is not allocated, where it was allocated and
leaked with both refs. That path still leaks the pipe.
…o not need

- `Request::ensure_fetch_headers` kept the content type as `*const [u8]` "across
  the field borrow". `body_value()` and `headers_mut()` both take `&self`, so it
  can stay a `&[u8]`. The deref of the `ByteBlobLoader` pointer stays.
- `Request::construct_into` did the same with `ct_ptr`. `ct` is already live
  across `req.headers_mut()` in the condition above, and `StringView` has no
  drop glue, so the temporary does not reach the `&mut req` of `bail!`.
- `Response::write_format` took `&mut Body` out of the `JsCell` for
  `Body::write_format`, which takes `&self`.
- `Body.rs` had a shim that turned the `&mut DOMFormData` of
  `DOMFormData::from_js` into a raw pointer, which its one caller turned back.
- `URLSearchParams::from_js` handed out a `NonNull`, a second shim made it a raw
  pointer, and the same caller made it a `&mut`. `from_js` was a safe function
  already and that was its only use. It returns `Option<&'a URLSearchParams>`,
  as `DOMFormData::from_js<'a>` does, but shared: the type is an opaque
  zero-sized handle, and `to_string` only calls the C++ `toString() const`.
…t borrows its sibling

For a streamed upload to `s3://`, `fetch()` boxed `url_proxy_buffer`, parsed the
URL a second time out of the box through a lifetime eraser, took the proxy href
out of it through another, and stored the parsed URL next to the box it borrows
from. `resolve` only ever read `url.href`, to make the `Response`'s URL string
from it, and `upload_stream` copies the path and the proxy href before it
returns.

The wrapper holds that `BunString`, and `upload_stream` gets `url.s3_path()`
and `proxy.href` of the URLs that are already parsed. The same bytes as before:
`URL::parse` keeps its whole input as `href`.

The string is made when the upload starts instead of when it ends, once and on
the JS thread in both cases, and moved into the `Response`. The
`into_boxed_slice` and the second parse are gone, and the buffer is freed when
`fetch()` returns.

On the four early returns of `upload_stream` (a disturbed or invalid stream, a
`Bytes` or `File` source that already failed) the string is made although the
callback never runs. Those paths leaked the wrapper before and still do.
`fetch_impl` parsed its two URLs through `parse_url_detached!`, a macro that
erased the lifetime of the slice, because `url_proxy_buffer` is replaced twice
while the two variables exist. At each replacement both are only overwritten
next, never read, and dropping a `URL<'a>` does not touch `'a`, so a plain
borrow is accepted once the statements are in the order "build the new buffer,
store it, parse from it".

- The `proxy` option: the buffer is stored before the two parses, not after.
- The signed S3 URL with a proxy: the old buffer was moved aside so that
  `proxy_.href` stayed readable and dropped by hand at the end. It is read
  before the new buffer is stored, which drops the old one.
- `has_proxy` is read before the S3 branch instead of after it. Otherwise
  `proxy` is live across the arm that replaces the buffer when there is no
  proxy. The branch never changes whether there is one.
- That leaves nothing that reads the `proxy` the S3 branch parsed again from
  the new buffer, so that parse is gone.

The old buffers are freed before the parses instead of after them. Nothing else
differs. The eraser behind `FetchOptions`, which moves the buffer together with
the URLs that borrow it, stays.
`fetch_impl` reborrowed the `Request` it was given as `&mut` at six places, and
`Request::construct_into` took a `&mut Response` out of its argument. Script
holds the same objects, and every method called on either takes `&self`, like
the `&Request` that `construct_into` takes a few lines above.

`fetch_impl` keeps the raw pointer and a fresh reborrow per use, instead of one
`&Request` for the whole function: option getters run between the uses, and
script can call `server.upgrade(request)` there, which writes
`request_context`, a plain field.
…&self`

The buffer and its drain callback sat next to a bare `Mutex`, and every method,
`lock` included, took `&mut self`. So the JS thread (`stream_buffer_mut`) and
the HTTP thread (`from_attached`) each made a `&mut ThreadSafeStreamBuffer` out
of their shared pointer before they had the lock: two `&mut` to one object on
two threads.

The two fields are a `State` inside `bun_threading::Guarded`, which hands out
`&mut State` only under the lock. `lock` and `clear_drain_callback` take
`&self`, `report_drain` is a method of the locked `State`, and `from_attached`
and `Stream::buffer_ref` return `&Self`. `StreamBufferGuard`, `acquire`,
`release` and `set_drain_callback` are gone.

- The three HTTP-thread users (`write_to_stream`, and `drain_send_body` of h2
  and h3) took the lock with `acquire()` and gave it back with `release()` on
  each path. Each holds one guard and has a `drop(locked)` at every place a
  `release()` was, always before the `detach()` that can free the buffer.
  Nothing runs under the lock that did not, or outside it that was inside.
- `FetchTasklet` borrows the buffer from its `request_body_streaming_buffer`
  field. That is a borrow of one field, so `self.http.as_mut()` next to it
  stays legal, which is what the accessor's invented lifetime was for. The two
  guards there live as long as before.
- The drain callback is an argument of `new`, so `FetchTasklet::get` no longer
  writes it through the fresh raw pointer.

Same mutex, same lock and unlock calls. `report_drain` loses its debug
assertion that the lock is held: it can only be reached through the guard.

The struct, of which there is one per streamed request body, goes from 56 to 64
bytes in a release build for x86_64 Linux (`size_of`): the 4-byte mutex and the
4-byte count no longer share a word, because the padding inside `Guarded<State>`
cannot be reused. A debug build has 72 bytes before and after.

`mordant.toml` no longer lists `StreamBufferGuard` among the lock guards, and
`mordant-baseline.toml` loses the finding that `from_attached` was.

Walkthrough

The PR updates ownership and borrowing across HTTP streams, Blob and Response handling, file I/O, and runtime interfaces. It replaces several raw-pointer and mutable-borrow paths with guarded state, owned values, shared references, and reference-counted handles. It also adds a repeated multipart parsing memory test.

Changes

Runtime ownership and borrowing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Guarded HTTP stream buffers
src/http/*, src/runtime/webcore/fetch/FetchRequestBodySink.rs, src/runtime/webcore/fetch/FetchTasklet.rs, mordant*.toml
The stream buffer and drain callback now share guarded state. HTTP and fetch request-body paths access buffers through lock guards and explicitly drop those guards at control-flow boundaries.
Blob values and conversions
src/jsc/URLSearchParams.rs, src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs, src/runtime/webcore/Body.rs, src/runtime/api/*, src/runtime/server/ServerWebSocket.rs, src/runtime/webcore/{ObjectURLRegistry,S3Client,S3File,Request}.rs, test/js/web/fetch/blob.test.ts
Blob conversion uses owned values and into_js in updated construction paths. Form-data and request handling use shared references and borrowed byte slices. A test checks RSS growth across repeated file-backed multipart reads.
Blob asynchronous reads and writes
src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs, src/runtime/webcore/blob/*, src/runtime/image/Image.rs, src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs, src/runtime/node/node_fs_binding.rs
Read completions own boxed handlers and byte buffers. File-write paths pass strong promise handles and settle them directly. File-copy accounting and filesystem scheduling use updated ownership paths.
JavaScript wrapper ownership
src/runtime/webcore/{FileSink,Response,Sink,streams}.rs, src/runtime/api/bun/subprocess/Writable.rs, src/runtime/api/html_rewriter.rs
Response and FileSink wrapper paths use RefPtr handles. Sink creation and pending-promise conversion pass pointer or JavaScript-value handles directly.
Fetch and response handling
src/runtime/webcore/fetch.rs, src/runtime/webcore/fetch/FetchTasklet.rs
Fetch URL parsing uses backing buffers, and Request access uses shared references. Response handling uses retained RefPtr values and updates scheduled body-buffer delivery and cleanup.
Other runtime and S3 boundaries
src/runtime/webcore/{CompressionStreamCoder,TextDecoder,TextEncoder,TextEncoderStreamEncoder}.rs, src/runtime/webcore/s3/*, src/s3_signing/error.rs, test/internal/source-lints/*
Stream encoder and compression interfaces update pointer and ownership handling. S3 tasks and error formatting use revised reference and string paths. The source-lint comment and thread-door inventory reflect the changed types.

Possibly related issues

  • oven-sh/bun#47009: The PR changes FetchTasklet response-buffer delivery and cleanup, but the summaries do not establish that it fixes retention of unread fetch response bodies.
  • oven-sh/bun#31985: The PR changes BlobExt::to_js to consuming BlobExt::into_js, which addresses the same ownership and allocation contract described by the issue.

Release the pipe reference when header cloning fails.

RewriterPipe::init allocates the pipe before clone_init_headers(...)?. If the clone returns an error, the function returns without releasing the pipe, its boxed rewriter, or its context Rc. The existing error path at the to_js failure already calls Self::deref_nn(pipe) for this state. Apply the same release before returning the header-clone error.

Subject: a to_js failure already releases this pipe; the header-clone failure path does not.

Minor · Stability & Availability · Heavy lift

Pass ReadFileUV by raw pointer through get_fd when a callback can free it.

If uv_fs_open or uv_fs_fstat returns an error synchronously, get_fd calls on_file_open, which calls on_finish and then finalize. finalize reclaims the box with heap::take. That free happens while get_fd still holds the &mut self argument. Pass a *mut ReadFileUV through get_fd and its callers instead.

As per coding guidelines: "If a callback may free self (close, error, GC finalize), do not materialize &self/&mut self at the boundary."

489-502: Trivial · Stability & Availability · Quick win

Add an RSS case for a file-backed formData() read that rejects.

The RSS test at test/js/web/fetch/blob.test.ts:477-502 measures only successful file.formData() reads. A multipart file with the valid boundary=bun type but no closing --bun-- boundary fails in for_each_multipart_entry with MissingFinalBoundary (src/runtime/webcore/FormData.rs:251-256). This happens after the file buffer is read. The rejection returns, and the temporary buffer is released. No test checks memory on this path, so a change that kept the buffer after a rejection would not fail the suite.

Add a companion test with the same bound. Catch each expected rejection inside the loop so every iteration runs and RSS is measured across all calls:

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 deleted Weak fallback in FetchTasklet body delivery (change 15): native_response is only cleared at the two sites that also clear self.response (clear_data, abandon_response_body), so the removed arm was unreachable and buffered bodies still settle through native_response. Also traced the ThreadSafeStreamBuffer rewrite (change 26): every former acquire/release caller in HTTPRequestBody.rs, http/lib.rs, the h2/h3 encoders and FetchTasklet now goes through lock().buffer, and clear_drain_callback still synchronises through the same mutex.

Extended reasoning...

A 25-commit, 47-file unsafe-removal refactor across Blob, read/write/copy_file, FileSink, fetch, Response and the S3 client in the Rust runtime; it touches no auth or crypto surface but does change ownership and cross-thread locking on hot request/response body paths. Two confirmed findings are posted inline, and the size plus the Windows-only arms that are not type-checked on this CI mean a human should still read it.

Comment thread src/runtime/image/Image.rs Resolved
`do_read_file::<F>` is compiled once for each of its six `F`, and
`do_read_file_internal::<C>` once for each `C`. Both made their `ReadFile` in the
same way: clone the blob's store, read its offset and its size, call
`ReadFile::create`, and unwrap a `Result` that is never `Err`. None of that
depends on the type parameter, and mordant's `generic_body_not_generic` reports it
in `do_read_file`.

`create` takes `&Blob`, does these steps itself and returns the `ReadFile`. It has
no other caller. The store is still cloned before `do_read_file` makes its promise.
…ates the pipe

The `?` on `clone_init_headers` stood after the pipe was allocated and its
lol-html rewriter built. Nothing owns the pipe's first ref until its wrapper cell
exists, so that exit leaked the pipe, the rewriter and the pipe's `Rc` of the
context. The exit for a failed wrapper, further down, releases the ref by hand.

The clone needs only `original` and the global object, runs no script, and touches
nothing that `init` builds. It is now the first statement, so its `?` has nothing
to release.

No test. `WebCore__FetchHeaders__cloneThis` fills a new, empty `FetchHeaders`, and
for an empty one `FetchHeaders::fill` copies three vectors and returns no
exception. So the `?` is taken only when an exception is pending for another
reason, such as a termination.

BuildKite build 137463 of f8c8279 has finished, and it is red. Nothing fails only here.

On GitHub every check passes on f8c8279: Format, the lints, cargo clippy, cargo miri test, the lol-html tests and mordant. mordant failed on daae2a8, the head before, with generic_body_not_generic in BlobExt::do_read_file, and c01f61e (change 27) cleared that.


Generated by Claude Code

`PipelineTask` handed its `Blob` to JS with `JsClass::to_js`, which boxes the value
and makes the wrapper. It does not call `calculate_estimated_byte_size`, so
`reported_estimated_size` stayed 0 and the GC counted the wrapper alone: 440 bytes
for a `Blob` that holds a 14 KB PNG.

It calls `BlobExt::into_js`, as `Bun.file()`, `blob.slice()` and `Response.blob()`
do. `into_js` computes the size first. Its test for an S3 store is false here,
because `Blob::init` makes a store of bytes.

The new test compares `estimateShallowMemoryUsageOf(blob)` with `blob.size`.

I re-ran the review on the latest push and found no new bugs; the two things I flagged earlier are fixed by 5bff531 (the headers clone is now the first statement of RewriterPipe::init, so its ? has nothing left to release) and f8c8279 (Image.rs now routes the Blob through BlobExt::into_js, with a test on estimateShallowMemoryUsageOf). Given that this rewrites ownership across 48 files of unsafe webcore/fetch/S3/http code, a maintainer look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed on this push:

  • The three new commits: the RewriterPipe::init reorder, the Image.rs into_js switch plus its test, and ReadFile::create(&Blob) (same store clone before the promise is made, Result that was never Err dropped).
  • ThreadSafeStreamBuffer as a Guarded<State>: report_drain still runs the drain callback under the lock, but that is unchanged from before (the old code asserted the mutex was held), not a regression.
Extended reasoning...

The PR is a 29-commit, 48-file series that replaces raw-pointer ownership with owned and borrowed types across Blob, Bun.write, FileSink, fetch, Response, the S3 client and the http stream buffer, removing 131 unsafe blocks. It touches no auth, injection or credential surface; the risk is memory safety and refcount balance across JS-thread and http-thread boundaries. Since the prior review, three commits landed that address both of my earlier inline comments, and I verified each fix in the code. No new findings surfaced, but the size and the unsafe-adjacent nature of the change mean approving without a human is not justified.

#47895 deleted `WriteFilePromise`. `WriteFile::schedule` now takes the
`JSPromiseStrong` and keeps the global of the caller. The helper for a
partial write still made the box, so the branch did not compile after a
merge with main.

…are `&mut MaybeUninit`

#47895 typed the two out-parameters `&mut bool` and `&mut EncodingLabel`, where
they had been raw pointers that the body only wrote through. A `&mut` says that
a valid value is there already. That holds for the one caller, which passes the
addresses of `bool utf8FastPath = false` and `uint8_t encoding = 0`
(JSTextDecoderStream.cpp), but only because of those two initialisers and
because `EncodingLabel::Utf8` is 0.

`&mut MaybeUninit<bool>` and `&mut MaybeUninit<EncodingLabel>` ask for nothing
but room, and the body stores with `write`. The compiled code is the same.

…ler and the transpiler (#47901)

### What does this PR do?

27 separate changes, one commit each: 15 in `bun_threading`, `bun_alloc`
and a few other low-level crates, and 12 in the bundler and the
transpiler. They follow #47291, #47317, #47338, #47382, #47393, #47414,
#47871, #47893 and #47895 and work the same way: signatures name the
type and the lifetime that the value already has, hand-written pointer
code becomes plain ownership and borrows that the compiler checks, and
what was never needed is deleted.

Together: **98 fewer `unsafe` blocks, 26 fewer `unsafe fn`s and 16 fewer
`unsafe impl`s**, +521/−1440 over 54 files. No safe function became
`unsafe`, and no wrapper type was added. **[Where the compiled code
changes](#where-the-compiled-code-changes) lists every place where the
program does different work.**

The commits can be reviewed one at a time.

Worth knowing before reading on:

- **Nothing that users can see changes.** No test is added or changed.
- **Five changes end an aliasing or contract bug that had no visible
effect.**
- Change 12: a worker's `pop(&mut self)` was not exclusive, because
other workers read the same `Thread` through the pool's list while it
ran.
- Change 18: `is_done` held a `&mut Graph` and a `&mut BundleV2` that
contains it at the same time, and `scan_css_imports` was a safe function
that dereferenced the raw pointer it was given.
- Change 21: `process_html_import_files` made a `&mut Graph` over the
whole graph while the source map workers read it.
- Change 26: `ParseTask::init` was a safe function that read through a
`*mut BundleV2`.
- Change 8: `WTFStringImplStruct::ref_count()` read a counter without an
atomic while other threads may change it.
- **Four functions stay `unsafe fn`, with a smaller contract** that
their doc comments state: `ThreadRegistration::new` (change 12),
`BundleThread::enqueue` (19), `do_step5` (24) and `LinkerContext::load`
(25). `LinkerContext::link` is safe now.
- **Locks own what they guard:** `Semaphore` and `Channel` use the
existing `Guarded` (change 1), and `bun_alloc::Mutex::lock` returns a
guard with a real lifetime instead of a transmuted `'static` one (9).
- **The thread pool vouches for what only it can know:** `each_ptr`
gives each task a `&mut V` (change 27), and three contexts hold
`&LinkerContext` (24).
- **`Linker` no longer points into the `Transpiler` that holds it**
(change 22), so nothing has to be re-seated after a move, and
`Transpiler::init` is a struct literal (23).
- **Two functions that C or C++ calls have typed parameters:**
`Bun__lock(&ReleaseImpl)` (change 13) and
`zig__ModuleInfoDeserialized__deinit(Box<ModuleInfoDeserialized>)` (16).
Each message names the call sites and what they pass.
- **Dead code goes:** `MaxHeapAllocator`, `FfiLayout` and three `unsafe
impl Send`/`Sync` that no bound asks for (change 7), two `VecExt`
methods (5), `Transpiler::init_in_place` (23), and three accessors of
`Linker` with `reseat_self_refs` (22).
- **Parts of four changes are compiled only for Windows, macOS or
FreeBSD:** 7 (two arms of `MAX_ALIGN_T`), 11 (the macOS arm of
`Zone::init`), 13 (the lock implementations behind `Bun__lock`) and 19
(one line of `thread_main`).

### Where the compiled code changes

I compared the release assembly (x86-64 Linux, `--emit=asm`) of all 134
crates of the workspace, before and after. For 42 of them the files are
the same byte for byte. The other 92 I compared function by function,
with names demangled and labels normalised. In 77 of the 92 (43,319
functions) no function differs: what differs is line numbers in the
debug information and the paths of the two checkouts. 15 crates differ:

| Crate | Functions | Differ | Other constants or names only | Same
length | Shorter | Longer | Instructions | Branches | Compares | Calls |
Panic call sites |
|---|--:|--:|--:|--:|--:|--:|--:|--:|--:|--:|--:|
| `bun_alloc` | 24 | 0 | | | | | +11 | 0 | 0 | +2 | 0 |
| `bun_threading` | 81 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | −3 | −2 | 0 | 0 |
| `bun_core` | 1,159 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | +1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| `bun_resolver` | 509 | 18 | 0 | 9 | 4 | 5 | +2 | +3 | +3 | +1 | 0 |
| `bun_sql_jsc` | 409 | 7 | 5 | 0 | 2 | 0 | −43 | −12 | −8 | +3 | 0 |
| `bun_jsc` | 1,758 | 165 | 154 | 3 | 5 | 3 | −4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| `bun_bundler` | 1,981 | 54 | 31 | 2 | 20 | 1 | −144 | −15 | −14 | −10

| `bun_runtime` | 11,205 | 544 | 487 | 16 | 32 | 9 | −358 | −44 | −44 |

| `bun_standalone_graph`, `bun_sourcemap_jsc`, `bun_lint` | 4,143 | 4 |
0 | 0 | 3 | 1 | −6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| `bun_http_jsc`, `bun_install`, `bun_install_jsc`, `bun_js_parser_jsc`
| 3,141 | 14 | 11 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

The last five columns are net, and count the functions that exist on one
side only: 7 only before and 8 only after, which were removed, renamed
or inlined, or are no longer inlined. The table leaves out one function
of `bun_sql_jsc` that holds the commit's own hash. Nearly all of the 689
functions that differ only in constants address a field that moved: the
`Transpiler`, which the `VirtualMachine` holds by value, is 24 bytes
smaller (change 22).

**What costs something.** No change adds an allocation, a lock, a
reference count or a test to the source. The compiler's choices differ
in these places:

- **`String::clone` is called at 17 places where it was inlined (change
8).** A `ref` is the same load, test and `lock add` as before, but the
inliner weighs it differently.
- `String::create_if_different` (52 instructions) was called at 16
places in the module loader and had `String::clone` inlined. It is
inlined at those 16 places now and calls `String::clone` (18
instructions), so each path makes as many calls as before.
- At 15 other places in `bun_runtime`, and at one each in `bun_jsc` and
`bun_bundler`, `String::clone` is a call and a return more than before.
They are in `transpile_source_code_of_any_provenance::<false>` and
`transpile_source_code_inner::<true>` (6 together),
`__bun_fetch_builtin_module` (3), the three instances of
`resolve_without_on_resolve`, `Blob::get`, `realpath_inner`,
`Printer::print_dom`, the debug server's `fetch` and
`generate_chunks_in_parallel`.
- `transpile_source_code_of_any_provenance::<false>` goes from 4,573 to
4,651 instructions for it (below), and
`transpile_source_code_inner::<true>` from 2,682 to 2,687 with 3
branches fewer. The other functions named here are between 13 and 51
shorter, except `realpath_inner` (below).
- **`free_sensitive` is a call into `bun_alloc` (change 4).** Without
its type parameter it is compiled once there (20 instructions), and
`Sensitive::drop` calls it (21 to 6). The four closures of
`PasswordJob`, `Bun.password.hash` and `Bun.password.verify` are between
4 and 41 shorter.
- **`Semaphore::wait` goes from 54 to 61 (change 1),** with the same
branches, compares and calls: one `lea` before its wait loop, because
`cond` is not at offset 0, and one more callee-saved register to save
and restore.
- **The one `Channel` is 8 bytes larger (change 1),** 1,072 instead of
1,064, from padding. `render_markdown_file`, which has it on its stack,
goes from 1,007 to 1,013.
- **`generate_symbol_import_and_use` goes from 257 to 269 (change 5),**
with the same 29 branches, 3 compares more and one call fewer. Its loops
are vectorised and unrolled as before with other induction variables,
and the panic for a slice index out of range is gone.

**Checks.** The source makes no check that it did not make before. These
are all the other functions in which the listing shows more conditional
branches, compares or panic call sites than before, and why:

| Function | Listing | Why |
|---|---|---|
| `Resolver::dir_info_cached_miss` | 1,231 to 1,253, +5 branches, +5
compares, +2 calls | Change 9. The compiler lays out the block that
appends two strings to the `BSSStringList` twice, so `append` has 4 call
sites instead of 2. A path runs one of the copies. |
| `NodeFS::realpath_inner` | 615 to 631, +1 branch, +1 compare, +1 call
| Change 8. `Utf8WithString::clone` (78), which only this function
called, is inlined here as its two halves. |
| `SystemError::clone`, `Blob__setAsFile`, `Request`'s constructor | 161
to 165, 61 to 66 and 1,391 to 1,389, +1 branch and +1 compare each |
Change 8. The inlined `String::clone`s test their tags in another order,
and one test is duplicated. |
| `fetch_impl::<false>` | 4,629 to 4,626, +3 branches, +3 compares, same
calls | Change 8. It has a `String::clone` inline. Its frame is 64 bytes
smaller, its registers are allotted differently, and three tests are
laid out twice. |
| `transpile_source_code_of_any_provenance::<false>` | 4,573 to 4,651,
+1 branch, +1 compare, +20 calls | Change 8. It has ten copies of
`String::create_if_different` inline, each with three call sites where
there was one. |
| The main function of the bundle thread | 540 to 566, +2 branches, +2
compares, +1 call | Change 19. One exit is laid out twice, so
`mi_heap_destroy` has 5 call sites instead of 4. |
| `BundleV2::finish_from_bake_dev_server` | 3,953 to 3,963, +2 panic
call sites, no branch or compare more | Change 25. It calls `load`. Two
bounds checks that shared a call of `panic_bounds_check` with others
have their own. |
| `Transpiler::init`, `Transpiler::transform` | 2,035 to 2,010 and 3,865
to 3,862, −4 and −1 branches, +1 panic call site each | Changes 22 and
23. One more copy of the exit for a failed allocation. |

| Change | What differs | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Apart from the above: `Semaphore::post` (39) and
`RawRwLock::unlock_shared` (46), which has it inline, differ in field
offsets. | Same locks, waits and signals in the same order. |
| 5 | `get_ast` goes from 4,054 to 4,044, with 2 branches and 2 calls
fewer. | Two arena allocations fewer per sqlite import. |
| 7 | `MaxHeapAllocator::drop` (9) goes. `write_output_files_to_disk`
goes from 2,794 to 2,770 and loses its 6 call sites. | That `drop` never
had anything to free. |
| 8 | Apart from the above: `String::thread_isolated_copy` goes from 73
to 74. In `bun_jsc`, `dupe_with_content_type` goes from 113 to 103,
`PathLike::clone` from 254 to 247, `run_from_js_thread` from 800 to 801
and the two `collect_row` from 602 to 612. `handle_request_for` of the
two debug servers goes from 348 to 316, and `NodeFS::readdir` from 5,732
to 5,739. | Same counts on the same strings. |
| 9 | An out-of-line `slot_at` (28) stands where the out-of-line
`at_index` of the `DirInfo` map (26) stood. Apart from the row above, 4
functions of `bun_resolver` are shorter (`load_node_modules` by 40,
three by 1), 8 keep their length and 4 are longer (by 1, 2, 8 and 10):
the slot's address is computed in another order, and registers shift
around it. | The locks are taken and released at the same places. |
| 10 | `OverflowList::append` (128), in `bun_resolver`, `bun_jsc` and
`bun_install`, spells one test `> 2047` instead of `>= 2048`. | None. |
| 12 | `ThreadRegistration::drop` goes from 68 to 64 and loses a null
test. `Thread::run`, which has the steal loop inline, is the same. |
Same loads and stores with the same orderings. |
| 13 | `Bun__lock` is the same, and `Mutex::lock` (3) is emitted as an
alias of it. | None. |
| 15 | `PostgresSQLConnection::drop` goes from 94 to 73 and the drop of
its box from 381 to 359, with 6 branches fewer each. | **The byte loop
of volatile stores is one `memset`,** which a `black_box` and a compiler
fence keep. |
| 17 | `print_with_source_map` keeps its 1,217 with 2 branches fewer.
`print_with_source_map_maybe::<false>` goes from 1,008 to 999, and the
two `print_ast_esm_ascii_not_bun_cold` from 86 to 78. | Same output. |
| 18, 24, 27 | `generate_chunks_in_parallel::<false>` goes from 7,546 to
7,524 with 3 branches fewer, `find_all_imported_parts_in_js_order` from
3,258 to 3,255. `scan_imports_and_exports` keeps its 8,343. One instance
of `each_impl::call` (13) has another type argument. | Same tasks on the
same threads. |
| 20 | `start_from_bake_dev_server`, which has
`enqueue_entry_points_dev_server` inline, goes from 346 to 341 with 2
branches fewer. | Same entry points. |
| 22, 23 | Five functions that set the `Linker`'s pointers, or set them
again after a `Transpiler` had moved, are 3 to 6 shorter:
`configure_linker_with_auto_jsx`, `Worker::get`,
`transpiler_for_target`, `initialize_client_transpiler` and
`for_worker`. `Linker::link::<false, true>` keeps its 500, and
`transpile_file::<false>` goes from 839 to 855 with one branch fewer. |
The `Transpiler` goes from 3,040 to 3,016 bytes. |
| 25 | `BundleV2::link` (39) is new: it splits the borrow and calls
`LinkerContext::link`, which goes from 2,617 to 2,562 with 2 branches, 2
calls and a panic site fewer. `load` keeps its 1,996 with one branch
fewer. Of the four callers of `link`, three are 5 shorter and
`bundle_pages` 11. | Same linking. |

Every function that differs and is not named above differs by 4
instructions or fewer. Changes 2, 3, 6, 11, 14, 16, 21 and 26 do not
show up in this comparison. What changes 7, 11, 13 and 19 do to code for
Windows, macOS and FreeBSD is not compiled on Linux.

The comparison covers x86-64 Linux only, one crate at a time. The build
that ships also inlines across crates when it links.

### The changes in detail

#### 1. threading: `Semaphore` and `Channel` keep their state in a
`Guarded`

`Semaphore` had a `Mutex` next to an `UnsafeCell<usize>`, and `Channel`
a `Mutex` next to an `UnsafeCell<LinearFifo>` and a `Cell<bool>`. Every
access to an `UnsafeCell` was an `unsafe` dereference whose reason was
"the mutex is held", and three `unsafe impl Send`/`Sync` repeated it for
the types. `Guarded<T>` is that pair as one type: the same
`bun_threading::Mutex`, the value behind its lock guard, and
`Condition::wait_guarded` waits on the guard's own mutex.

The lock is taken on entry, given up and retaken inside the wait, and
released on return, as before, and the signals are still sent while it
is held.

`Channel::read_item` was the only reader. It went through `read_all` and
`read_items` with a `[MaybeUninit<T>; 1]` cast to `&mut [T; 1]`. It
takes the `Option<T>` of `LinearFifo::read_item` instead, which is
`None` exactly when the fifo is empty, so the separate length test, the
two helpers and the `debug_assert` on the count are gone.

`Send` and `Sync` are derived. For `Channel<T, B>` they ask for `B:
Send` as well as `T: Send`; the one user has a `StaticBuffer<u32, 256>`.

The fields of `Semaphore` are laid out in another order. In the release
assembly `post` differs in field offsets. `wait` goes from 54 to 61
instructions with the same branches, compares and calls: one `lea`
before its wait loop, because `cond` is not at offset 0, and one more
callee-saved register to save and restore.

`Channel<u32, StaticBuffer<u32, 256>>` grows from 1064 to 1072 bytes in
Linux and macOS release builds. No field is added: `State` and `Guarded`
are each padded to a multiple of 8, where the flat struct was padded
once. The bytes that `init_static` zeroes are no longer one run, so it
has one store more. The one user makes one channel per call of
`prefetch_remote_images`, a cold path. In a scratch crate `write_items`
differed in field offsets only, and `read_item` made the same calls in
the same order.

The two `[bun_threading]` entries of `mordant-baseline.toml` counted the
removed impls. They are deleted, and the section with them.

#### 2. threading: `Task::from_node` is a cast, and `Batch::pop` reads
its own `len`

`Task::from_node` was an `unsafe fn` around `from_field_ptr!(Task, node,
..)`. `node` is the first field of the `repr(C)` `Task`, which `node_of`
already asserts at compile time for the opposite direction, so the
subtraction is by zero. It is a safe pointer cast with the same
assertion, and its three callers lose their blocks. `Thread::run` and
`drain_idle_events` still dereference the result in `unsafe`.
`Batch::pop` only stores it in `self.head`, and the next `pop`
dereferences it.

`Batch::pop(&mut self)` viewed `self.len` as an `AtomicUsize` to load
it. `&mut self` is exclusive, so it is a plain read.

The release assembly of `bun_threading` is the same before and after.

#### 3. threading: `IntrusiveWorkTask` and `OwnedTask` are safe traits

Both were `unsafe trait`s without a promise of their own.

`IntrusiveWorkTask` said its contract is inherited from its supertrait
`IntrusiveField<Task>`, which stays `unsafe` and which
`intrusive_field!` implements with `offset_of!`. The trait only adds two
provided methods that forward to the supertrait. `OwnedTask::__callback`
passes what `from_task_ptr` returns to `Box::from_raw`, so a type must
not be able to replace that method in safe code: there is one blanket
impl for every `IntrusiveField<Task>` instead of an impl per type, and
both arms of `intrusive_work_task!` expand to `intrusive_field!` alone.

`OwnedTask` said that `run` executes on a worker thread, which is the
`Send` bound. `schedule_owned` gives the box away and relies on nothing
else that an implementor writes: a replaced `__callback` can only leak
the box unless it has `unsafe` of its own.

The `unsafe impl Send` in `owned_task!` stays. No code changes: the same
methods are called on the same types.

#### 4. alloc: `secure_zero` takes `&mut [u8]`

`secure_zero(p: *mut u8, len: usize)` was an `unsafe fn`, and three of
its four callers took apart bytes they held safely to call it: a `&mut
[u8]` (`Data::zdeinit`), a `&mut Box<[u8]>` (`zero_sensitive`) and a
`Box<[T]>` (`free_sensitive`). It takes the slice and is safe.
`<[u8]>::fill` is specialised to `write_bytes`, in debug builds too, so
it is still one `memset`, followed by the same `black_box` and fence.

`Data::zdeinit` passes the slice it has, and `zero_sensitive` its box,
which coerces. `free_sensitive` was generic over `T: Copy` and cast to
bytes; its one caller has a `Box<[u8]>`, so it takes that.
`free_sensitive_cstr` has only a C string, and builds the slice inside
the `unsafe` block it already had.

Without its type parameter `free_sensitive` is compiled once, in
`bun_alloc` (20 instructions in release mode), and `Sensitive::drop` in
`bun_runtime` calls it where it held a copy (21 to 6 instructions). The
release assembly of `bun_sql` and `bun_s3_signing` is the same before
and after.

#### 5. collections: drop `VecExt::from_bump_slice` and
`VecExt::writable_slice`

The two `unsafe fn`s had three callers between them, all in the bundler,
and `Vec` serves each of them.

The sqlite loader in `ParseTask` filled two arena slices with defaults,
overwrote them, and had `from_bump_slice` copy them into new `Vec`s. It
builds the `Vec`s from the values: `init_one` for the property and
`from_arena_slice` for the two arguments, the form
`require_embedded_asset` above uses for its one argument. The
`Expr::init` calls keep their order. Two arena allocations, their
default values and the drop of the default property are gone.

`generate_symbol_import_and_use` took an uninitialised tail from
`writable_slice` and assigned to it in a zip loop. `extend` over a
mapped slice iterator is `TrustedLen`: one reserve, raw writes and one
store of the length, which comes after the loop instead of before it.
The closure is `move` so that it holds the index by value even where
`extend` is not inlined. `Dependency.source_index` takes
`source_index_to_import_from` as it is: `crate::Index` is
`bun_ast::Index`, so `Index::init(x.get())` was an identity. The
parameter was `impl Into<Index>`, and every caller passes an `Index`, so
it is `Index`. In release mode the function goes from 257 to 269
instructions, with the same 29 branches, 3 compares more and one call
fewer: the loops are vectorised and unrolled as before with other
induction variables, and the panic for a slice index out of range is
gone.

Eleven comments named the two methods: six in `vec_ext.rs` and one each
in `ast_alloc.rs`, `bun_core/lib.rs`,
`computeCrossChunkDependencies.rs`, `renameSymbolsInChunk.rs` and
`p.rs`. The last two were already wrong about the code below them.

#### 6. sema: the stand-ins that ignore their arguments are safe `extern
"C" fn`s

Eleven of the `#[no_mangle]` stand-ins for C and C++ symbols in
`src/sema/standalone` (ten in `native_libraries.rs`, one in `native.rs`)
were `unsafe extern "C" fn` although every parameter is unused: four
return a constant and seven panic. No argument can make them misbehave,
so they are safe, like `Bun__AOT__addressOfOffsetInCode` and the other
stand-ins next to them that take no pointer.

Nothing names them in Rust. The crates that import them declare the
symbols themselves, so no caller changes, and neither does the compiled
code.

#### 7. alloc, opaque: remove dead code that carried `unsafe`

`MaxHeapAllocator`: `init` sets its private `ptr` to `None` and no
method allocates, so the `dealloc` in `Drop` never ran and the `unsafe
impl Send` and `Sync` guarded nothing. Its only users were three locals
and a per-chunk `scope()` guard in `write_output_files_to_disk`, which
their own comments called placeholders. `MAX_ALIGN_T`, with its Windows
and FreeBSD aarch64 arms, had no other use. That function loses three
calls to the `Drop` impl and one store of `len = 0` per chunk.

`unsafe impl Send`/`Sync for BSSList`: the list is only reached as a
`*mut` out of the `AtomicPtr` static of `bss_singleton!`, which asks for
neither.

`unsafe impl Send for Zone`: `OnceLock<&'static Zone>` needs `Zone:
Sync`, which stays.

`unsafe trait FfiLayout` and its `unsafe impl` in `assert_ffi_layout!`:
the trait was never a bound and its two constants were never read. The
`const` assertions of the macro stay. The `[bun_opaque]` entry of
`mordant-baseline.toml` counted the two constants and goes with them.

`opaque_deref_mut_nn` had one caller, `opaque_deref_mut`, and is merged
into it. Its `debug_assert` for null went: the pointer comes out of a
`NonNull`.

Apart from `MaxHeapAllocator::drop`, the release assembly of `bun_alloc`
and `bun_core` is the same before and after.

#### 8. alloc: `WTFStringImplStruct::m_ref_count` is an `AtomicU32`

The C++ field is `std::atomic<uint32_t> m_refCount` (StringImpl.h:162).
The Rust mirror declared it `Cell<u32>` and had a private accessor that
turned the cell's address into an `&AtomicU32` with
`AtomicU32::from_ptr` for `is_static`, `ref` and `deref`. The field has
the atomic type itself, which has the size and alignment of `u32`, and
the accessor is gone. The struct stays `!Freeze`, and `!Send` and
`!Sync` through its other fields. Its doc comment said that `ref` and
`deref` let C++ write the count; they do it in Rust. One line says who
writes the two interior-mutable fields.

`ref_count()` read the cell without an atomic. It does a relaxed load,
as `StringImpl::refCount()` does (StringImpl.h:429), so it does not race
with another thread's `ref` or `deref`. It has four callers: three
`debug_assert`s and `Any::memory_cost`. The orderings of the other three
are unchanged.

The release assembly of `bun_alloc` is the same. In `bun_core` one
function differs, `String::thread_isolated_copy`, which touches no
count: it tests the two tags in the other order and uses one `add` more
to address the 16 bytes it copies. The crates that use
`bun_core::String` emit the same load, test and `lock add` for a `ref`,
but the inliner chooses differently around them. In `bun_runtime`,
`String::create_if_different` (52 instructions) was called at 16 places
and had `String::clone` inlined. It is inlined at those places and calls
`String::clone` (18 instructions). At 15 other places in `bun_runtime`,
and at one each in `bun_jsc` and `bun_bundler`, `String::clone` is
called where it was inlined.

#### 9. alloc: `Mutex::lock` returns a guard that borrows the mutex

`bun_alloc::Mutex::lock` transmuted the `std::sync::MutexGuard<'_, ()>`
to `'static` and wrapped it in its own `MutexGuard`, so that `&mut self`
methods could be called while the guard was alive. Only one place needed
that: `BSSMapInner::get` calls `self.at_index(..)` under the lock.
`get_or_put`, `mark_not_found`, `put` and `remove` only touch sibling
fields, and the four callers that have a `*mut Self` dereference it for
every access.

`lock` returns `std::sync::MutexGuard<'_, ()>`. The body of `at_index`
moves, with its `unsafe` block, into a private `slot_at` that takes the
two fields it reads, and `at_index` and `get` call that. In `get` the
compiler now checks that nothing borrows the mutex mutably while it is
locked.

Four comments said that the guard stores a raw pointer. It held the
`std` guard, which is a reference. Those sentences are deleted. What
they concluded was not true either, and is unchanged:
`(*this).do_append(..)` and `(*this).append_overflow_uninit()` still
form a `&mut Self` that spans `mutex` while the guard holds `&mutex`;
the borrow checker does not follow borrows through a raw pointer.

The locks are taken and released at the same places. The release
assembly of `bun_alloc` is the same. In `bun_resolver`, where the map is
instantiated, an out-of-line `slot_at` (28 instructions) stands where
the out-of-line `at_index` of the `DirInfo` map (26) stood.

#### 10. alloc: use the reference `MaybeUninit::write` returns, and
index a checked slot

`OverflowListBlock::append` and `BSSMapInner::put` wrote a slot with
`MaybeUninit::write`, dropped the `&mut T` it returns, and indexed the
slot again for `unsafe { assume_init_mut() }`. They keep the returned
reference. In `append` it borrows `items` while the sibling `used` is
stored, in the same order as before.

`BSSListOverflowBlock::append_uninit` returns `Err` when `index >=
BSS_LIST_CHUNK_SIZE` and then did `as_mut_ptr().add(index)` in `unsafe`.
`&raw mut self.data[index]` is the same address; the array has
`BSS_LIST_CHUNK_SIZE` elements, so its bounds check repeats the test
above it.

The release assembly of `bun_alloc` is the same before and after. In
`bun_resolver`, which instantiates all three, `OverflowList::append`
spells one test `> 2047` instead of `>= 2048`, and the rest is the same.

#### 11. alloc: `Zone::init` takes `&'static CStr`

Both `cfg` arms of `heap_breakdown::Zone::init` were `unsafe fn(name:
*const c_char)` whose contract was "NUL-terminated and valid for the
whole process". That is `&'static CStr`, so the function takes one and
is safe. The macOS arm keeps its `unsafe` block for
`malloc_set_zone_name` and `&*zone`.

Its one caller, `get_zone!`, built the pointer from `concat!($name,
"\0")` in an `unsafe` block. It passes the literal on, and the two users
of `c_thunks_for_zone!` write `c"brotli"` and `c"zlib"`.

Zones exist only in macOS debug builds without ASAN (`ENABLED`). There
`init` receives a pointer and a length instead of a pointer, once per
zone. Elsewhere the call is dead code: the release assembly of
`bun_alloc`, `bun_zlib` and `bun_brotli` on Linux is the same before and
after. The macOS arm passes `cargo check --target aarch64-apple-darwin`.

#### 12. threading: a worker's `Thread` is only ever borrowed shared

`Thread::run` took `&raw mut self_` and dereferenced it in `unsafe` to
call `pop` and, twice, `drain_idle_events`, and `ThreadPool::register`
stored `(*thread).next` in `unsafe`. `drain_idle_events` and every
method of `Queue` and `Buffer` already take `&self`. `pop` took `&mut
self` only to store `self.target`, and that `&mut` was not exclusive:
while a worker is in `pop`, other workers read its `next`, `run_queue`
and `run_buffer` through the pool's list.

`next` and `target` are `Cell<*mut Thread>`, which keeps them at offsets
0 and 8. `next` is set before the compare-exchange that publishes the
thread and only read afterwards; `target` is used by its own worker
alone. Each field says so. `pop` takes `&self`, `run` calls the methods
on its local, and `ThreadRegistration` holds `&'a Thread`.

`register` had one caller, `ThreadRegistration::new`, and is written
into it, so no safe fn leaves the address of a `&Thread` in the pool's
list. `new` stays `unsafe`: a leaked guard would leave `CURRENT` and
that list pointing at a dead stack frame, and `pool` has to count the
calling thread in `spawned`, which `unregister` subtracts from.
`unregister` takes `Option<&Thread>` instead of `*mut Thread`, which has
the same ABI: `drop` passes `Some(self.thread)`, `warm` and
`notify_slow` pass `None`, and the step through `NonNull` and `BackRef`
is gone.

The steal loop reads and writes the same fields in the same order with
the same orderings: the release assembly of `Thread::run`, into which
`pop` is inlined, is the same before and after. One function of
`bun_threading` differs: `ThreadRegistration::drop` loses the null test
of `unregister`'s `maybe_thread` (68 to 64 instructions).

#### 13. threading: `Bun__lock` takes `&ReleaseImpl`

`Bun__lock` was `unsafe extern "C" fn(ptr: *mut ReleaseImpl)` around
`(*ptr).lock()`. Only C calls it, at six places in
`packages/bun-usockets/src`:

- `fault_inject.c:44`, `:54`, `:63` and `:73` pass `&us_fault_lock`, a
`static zig_mutex_t`.
- `loop.c:376` and `:400` pass `&loop->data.mutex`, a field of the
`us_loop_t` that `us_create_loop` gets from `us_xcalloc`.

Both are non-null and zero-initialised, which is the unlocked state of
the futex, `os_unfair_lock` and SRWLOCK implementations. `zig_mutex_t`
is `uint32_t`, `os_unfair_lock` or `void *`, which have the alignment of
the Rust types. Every caller goes on to use the data that the mutex
guards, so the object is live for the whole call. All three
implementations are interior-mutable, so a shared reference lets other
threads lock at the same time.

`Bun__unlock` keeps its raw pointer, for the reason `Mutex::unlock_raw`
gives.

`Bun__lock` compiles to the same instructions. It now equals
`Mutex::lock` down to the parameter attributes, so in the Linux release
build LLVM emits `Mutex::lock` as an alias of it. The Windows and macOS
implementations pass `cargo check` for their targets.

#### 14. ptr: `DebugData::deinit` takes `&self`

`DebugData` is the canary that `RefCount` and `ThreadSafeRefCount` carry
in builds with `debug_assertions`. Its `deinit` took `&mut self` to
clear `magic: u32`. `RefCount::deref`, `ThreadSafeRefCount::deref` and
`ThreadSafeRefCount::release` have a `&` to the count in scope, so each
of them projected the field from the raw pointer a second time, in
`unsafe`, to get a `&mut` next to that `&`.

`magic` is an `AtomicU32` that is read and written relaxed, `deinit`
takes `&self`, and the three callers write `count.debug.deinit()`.

Release builds contain none of this: the release assembly of `bun_ptr`
is the same before and after. In debug builds the plain load and store
of `magic` become relaxed atomic ones.

#### 15. sql: `PostgresSQLConnection::drop` zeroes `options_buf` with
`secure_zero`

`drop` cleared the buffer that holds the connection options, the
password among them, with its own loop of one `write_volatile` per byte
in `unsafe`. `bun_alloc::secure_zero` takes the `&mut [u8]` and is safe,
and `bun_sql_jsc` already depends on `bun_alloc`.

The compiled code changes: the byte loop becomes one `memset`, which a
`black_box` on the pointer and a compiler fence keep rustc's LLVM
backend from removing. `write_volatile` is guaranteed by the language
and `black_box` is documented as best effort; this is the form
`secure_zero`'s doc comment argues for, and the other Rust code that
zeroes a secret it owns uses it (`Data::zdeinit`, `zero_sensitive`,
`free_sensitive`, `free_sensitive_cstr`).

#### 16. bundler: `zig__ModuleInfoDeserialized__deinit` takes the `Box`
that it drops

The exported function took `*mut ModuleInfoDeserialized`. It turned the
argument into a `NonNull` with `unwrap_unchecked`, turned that back into
a raw pointer, and passed it to `ModuleInfoDeserialized::deinit`, an
`unsafe fn` with no other caller whose body was
`drop(heap::take(this))`.

The parameter is now `Box<ModuleInfoDeserialized>` and the body is
`drop(info)`. That is what C++ passes: `ResolvedSource.module_info` is
an `Option<Box<ModuleInfoDeserialized>>`, and C++ gives back the pointer
that it found in that field. A `Box` of a sized type is passed as that
pointer, and `heap::take` is `Box::from_raw`, so the same box is
dropped. As a `Box` the parameter is `noalias`, `nonnull` and aligned
for LLVM. No `unsafe` is left in the function. `deinit`, the `NonNull`
import and `use bun_core;` are gone.

A `Box` is never null and is owned by the callee. The four C++ call
sites hold to both. `Bun__analyzeTranspiledModule`
(BunAnalyzeTranspiledModule.cpp) has returned early if `m_moduleInfo` is
null, and `releaseModuleInfo` (ZigGlobalObject.cpp) gets a provider only
if it is set; both set the field to null after the call.
`~SourceProvider` (ZigSourceProvider.cpp) and `~ErrorableResolvedSource`
(headers-handwritten.h) test the pointer in an `if`, and the object that
held it is gone afterwards. `m_moduleInfo` gets its value only from
`std::exchange(resolvedSource.module_info, nullptr)`, so the two objects
never hold the same pointer.

#### 17. transpiler: `print_with_source_map` takes `Option<&mut
ModuleInfo>`

The two callers that collect a module record own it in a local
`Option<Box<ModuleInfo>>`. They turned `as_deref_mut()` into an
`Option<*mut ModuleInfo>`, which went through four functions of
`Transpiler`, all safe, one of them public, until `print_ast_esm_ascii`
turned it back into the `Option<&mut ModuleInfo>` that
`js_printer::Options` holds.

The four functions now take `Option<&mut ModuleInfo>` and the two
callers pass `module_info.as_deref_mut()`. They touch the box again only
after the call has returned. The third caller, in `AsyncModule`, passes
`None` as before.

The argument is one pointer with null for `None`, where it was a tag and
a pointer.

#### 18. bundler: five `unsafe` blocks that plain borrows replace

`StaticRouteVisitor` held `&'a LinkerContext<'a>`. `LinkerContext` is
invariant in its lifetime, so no borrow of the `&mut LinkerContext<'a>`
that `generate_chunks_in_parallel` gets has that type, and the borrow
was detached. The struct now has two lifetimes, `&'a
LinkerContext<'ctx>`, and holds `&*c`. Up to the visitor's last use `c`
is only used shared; `write_output_files_to_disk(c, ..)` is in the other
arm of the `if`.

`is_done` called `(*this).graph.drain_deferred_tasks(&mut *this)`: a
`&mut Graph` and a `&mut BundleV2` that contains it, both live.
`drain_deferred_tasks` is now a method of `BundleV2` that names
`self.graph.*`. It stays in Graph.rs, next to the counters it moves.

`scan_css_imports` was a safe function that took `*const [CssCol]` and
dereferenced it. It takes `&[CssCol]`. `finish_from_bake_dev_server` has
a slice and passes it. `scan_imports_and_exports` has column pointers
and uses `col_ref!`, as it does for the arguments next to this one.

`find_imported_files_in_css_order` cast a slice to `*const [LayerName]`
and dereferenced it, as a cast "between shadow types".
`crate::bun_css::LayerName` re-exports
`::bun_css::css_parser::LayerName`, so there is one type and the `match`
yields `&[LayerName]`. For the same reason the
`.cast::<Vec<LayerName>>()` on each of the two pointers that the
function hands to `Layers::borrow` cast to the type it already had. Both
are gone, with the comments there, on `Layers::borrow` and in
`prepareCssAstsForChunk.rs` that spoke of two types. `Layers::borrow`, a
safe function whose result `inner()` dereferences, took a `NonNull` for
those casts. It takes `&Vec<LayerName>`, and `BackRef::new` stores the
same pointer.

`run_resolver` kept the slot from `get_or_put` as `*mut u32` in both
arms. With `self.graph.build_graphs[target]` written out, which is the
body of `path_to_source_index_map`, the arm for an existing entry reads
`*entry.value_ptr` next to `self.graph.ast`. The other arm calls
`enqueue_parse_task(&mut self)` before it fills the slot and keeps the
pointer.

The operations and their order stay the same at all five sites.

#### 19. bundler: `BundleThread::enqueue` takes `&self`; `generation` is
a local of the thread

`generation` was a field that only `thread_main` read and wrote, through
the raw `instance` pointer. It was also the only field written after the
thread has set `ready_event`, and so the reason why no thread could hold
a `&BundleThread`.

It is now a local of `thread_main`. After `waker` is written, every
thread only reads the fields or uses the atomics in `ready_event` and
`queue`, so `thread_main` takes one `&*instance` there, in place of a
dereference each for `ready_event.set()`, `queue.pop()`, `waker.wait()`
and, on Windows, `waker.uv_loop()`.

`enqueue` was an `unsafe fn(*mut Self, *mut C)` that rebuilt a `NonNull`
with `new_unchecked`. Its one caller has a `NonNull<C>` and passed
`.as_ptr()`. It is now `unsafe fn enqueue(&self, NonNull<C>)`. The types
say that the instance is live and that the task is not null, and the
body has no `unsafe` block: `UnboundedQueue::push` and `Waker::wake` are
safe `&self` functions on every platform. It stays `unsafe` for the one
obligation that no type carries: `completion` must be a live task node
that stays valid until the bundle thread has run or freed it, because
`thread_main` dereferences what it pops. The caller dereferences the
singleton pointer and calls `enqueue` in one block, where it called the
old function.

The counter moves from the heap allocation to the thread's stack or a
register. The calls and their order stay the same.

#### 20. bundler: `enqueue_entry_points_dev_server` borrows the
transpiler where it uses it

The loop picked the client or the server transpiler at its top and kept
it as `*mut Transpiler`, because a borrow would have held `self` across
the plugin dispatch that follows. The pointer was dereferenced three
times further down: for `resolve_entry_point`, and twice in its error
arm for `log`.

The transpiler is now picked after the plugin dispatch, right before
`resolve_entry_point`, as a `&mut`. What that call returns borrows only
`abs_path` and `dot_slash`, so `self` is free again in both arms. The
error arm first copies `transpiler.log` and uses the copy; the
dereference for `reset()` stays.

The pick now runs only for entry points that no plugin matched. It has
no side effect here: the one caller is the dev server, which sets
`linker.dev_server` and `client_transpiler` before, so
`transpiler_for_target` only selects a pointer.

#### 21. bundler: `process_html_import_files` borrows four fields of the
parse graph

The function went through the raw `parse_graph` pointer five times, four
of them in every iteration. One of the five,
`(*parse_graph).path_to_source_index_map(..)`, made a `&mut Graph` over
the whole graph only to call `get(&self)` on one map, while the source
map workers that `link` has just scheduled read the same graph. A sixth
block made a `&mut Symbol` with `symbol_mut` to set `link`, which is a
`Cell`.

One block now borrows the four fields that are used:
`html_imports.html_source_indices` mutably, and
`html_imports.server_source_indices`, `input_files` and `build_graphs`
shared. The workers hold `&Graph` and `&BundleV2` at that time, and of
the graph they read only `input_files` and `pool`. The symbol comes from
`LinkerGraph::symbol`, which is `symbols.get_const(..).expect(..)`.
`get_const` has the same two guards as `get` and no bounds check either.
`symbol` was compiled only with `debug_assertions`, because its one user
was, and loses that `cfg`.

The loop iterates over `server_source_indices` instead of indexing it,
which drops one bounds check per iteration, and the `source` column and
the browser map are looked up once instead of per iteration.

#### 22. transpiler: `Linker` takes what it reads as parameters instead
of pointing into its `Transpiler`

`Transpiler` holds its `Linker` by value. The `Linker` held three raw
pointers back into the same `Transpiler`: `options`, `resolve_queue` and
`resolve_results`. They were null after `Transpiler::init`, were set by
`configure_linker*`, and had to be set again by `wire_after_move` after
each move. Three accessors dereferenced them.

`resolve_queue` and `resolve_results` served only
`enqueue_resolve_result`, which has one caller,
`Transpiler::enqueue_entry_points`. It is now an associated function
that gets `&mut self.resolve_results` and `&mut self.resolve_queue`.
`options` served only two scalar reads at the top of `link`, which now
takes `options: &BundleOptions<'_>`. Its two callers in `Transpiler`
pass `&self.options`. The two callers outside the crate, in
`AsyncModule` and `jsc_hooks`, pass `&(*jsc_vm).transpiler.options` in
the `unsafe` block they already have; that is the field the pointer
pointed to, because the VM calls `configure_linker*` on the transpiler
in place.

`Linker` is left with `log`, and `Linker::init` takes only that. The
three accessors and `reseat_self_refs` are gone.

`link` gets the address in an argument register instead of loading it
from `self`, `Transpiler` is 24 bytes smaller, and the debug assertions
that the pointers are not null are gone with the pointers.

#### 23. transpiler: `Transpiler::init` builds its value with a struct
literal

`init` made a `MaybeUninit<Transpiler>` on its stack and passed it to
`init_in_place`, which wrote the twelve fields with
`addr_of_mut!(..).write(..)`. `init` then returned
`Ok(slot.assume_init())`. `init_in_place` was meant for callers that own
the final storage, but it is `pub(crate)` and `init` was its only
caller: the VM, in another crate, calls `init` and writes the result
into its field.

`init` now has the body of `init_in_place` and ends in `Ok(Transpiler {
.. })`, with the fields in the same order, so the calls that compute
them run in the same order. All the fallible work still comes first.

No large value is moved more often than before. The options went from a
local into the slot and now go from the same local into the literal. The
resolver went from the result of `Resolver::init1` into the slot and now
goes into the literal. The whole struct went from the slot into the `Ok`
and now goes from the literal into the `Ok`.

The message of the panic for a null `log` names `init` instead of
`init_in_place`.

#### 24. bundler: three worker contexts that only read the linker hold
`&LinkerContext`

`find_all_imported_parts_in_js_order` and `run_walks` put
`ParentRef::from_ref_mut(this)` in the context they hand to `each_ptr`,
and each task turned it back with `unsafe { &*ctx.c.as_mut_ptr() }`. The
first of the two built a whole `GenerateChunkCtx` and used only its `c`.
Step 5 of `scan_imports_and_exports` wrapped a `*mut LinkerContext` in a
struct with its own `unsafe impl Sync`, and `do_step5` began with
`&*this`.

The three contexts now hold `&LinkerContext`. `each` and `each_ptr` ask
for `Ctx: Sync`, which `&LinkerContext` has through the existing `unsafe
impl Sync for LinkerContext`. `find_all_imported_parts_in_js_order` and
`run_walks` took `&mut LinkerContext` for `from_ref_mut`, and
`find_safe_walks` took it to call `run_walks`. All three take
`&LinkerContext`, and `do_step5` takes `&self`. It stays an `unsafe fn`:
the caller must give each concurrent call its own rows.

While the pool runs, the calling thread is blocked in `each` /
`each_ptr` and holds only shared borrows of the linker: the context and
`worker_pool()`. The tasks hold `&LinkerContext`, as before, and write
the rows and the one column they own through the raw pointers of
`split_raw(&self)`, which come from the buffer pointer stored in the
list and not from the reference.

`unsafe impl Send for PrepareCssAstTask` is removed: no bound asks for
it. The tasks stay in a local `Vec` and reach the pool as `*mut Task`.

The change is in the types only, with two exceptions.
`find_all_imported_parts_in_js_order` no longer forms the two unused
pointers into `chunks`. And the attributes of the changed parameters
follow their types: the three that were `&mut LinkerContext` lose
`noalias` and `dereferenceable`, which a `&` to a type with atomics in
it does not get, and `do_step5`'s, which was a raw pointer, gains
`nonnull` and `align`.

#### 25. bundler: `LinkerContext::load` and `link` take the fields they
use, not `*mut BundleV2`

Both were `unsafe fn(&mut self, bundle: *mut BundleV2, ..)`, because
`self.linker.link(self, ..)` does not borrow-check. All five callers
hold a `&mut BundleV2` or the `Box`, and each made a raw pointer from it
in an `unsafe` block to project `linker`, `graph.entry_points` and
`graph.server_component_boundaries`. Inside there were nine more blocks:
five project or read a field of `*bundle` that is disjoint from `linker`
(`graph`, `dynamic_import_entry_points`, `transpiler`,
`has_any_top_level_await_modules`, `unique_key`), two read the graph
through `self.parse_graph`, one builds the resolver's `ParentRef`
through a pointer cast, and one is `link`'s call of `load`.

`load` now takes `&mut Graph`, `&Transpiler` and the `&mut` map of
dynamic import entry points, which the callers borrow as disjoint fields
next to `&mut self.linker`. It reads the entry points, the boundaries,
the sources and the original names from the graph. The pointer cast that
"erased" the resolver's lifetime is gone: the lifetime was `'a` already.
`link` takes the `bool` and the `u64` it read from the bundle and no
longer calls `load`. The new `BundleV2::link` calls both, and four
callers call that. The dev server only loads, and calls `load` as
before.

`load` stays an `unsafe fn`, with a smaller contract. That its arguments
are valid and disjoint from `self` is now checked by the compiler. What
is left is that `self` keeps the raw `parse_graph` pointer and a
`ParentRef` to the transpiler's resolver after those borrows have ended,
and that safe accessors such as `parse_graph()` and `resolver()`
dereference them later. So both arguments must be those of the
`BundleV2` that holds `self`. `BundleV2::link` and the dev server call
`load` in one `unsafe` block each. `link` is a safe function. It relies
on `load` having run, like its callees `parse_graph()` and
`compute_chunks`, which are safe functions too.

`load` is separate so that no `&mut Graph` is live while the pool works
on this bundle. It runs after parsing is over and before any task of the
link step is scheduled, and its borrows end when it returns.
`BundleV2::link`'s own `&mut self` does span the link step, and the
workers' pointers derive from it. `generate_from_cli` and
`generate_from_bake_production_cli` held only the `Box` and a raw
pointer there. `LinkerContext::link`, which schedules the source map
tasks and step 5, holds `&mut LinkerContext` as before, and two fewer
borrows into the graph: the entry points and the boundaries were
parameters of it.

`load` is called from `BundleV2::link` instead of from
`LinkerContext::link`, and the two scalars are read before
`LinkerContext::link` is called instead of during it. Nothing writes
them while linking. The stores in `load` keep their order.

#### 26. bundler: the back-pointers of the tasks name the bundle's
lifetime

`ParseTask<'a>` and `ServerComponentParseTask<'a>` carry the bundle's
`'a`, but their `ctx` was a `ParentRef<BundleV2<'static>, Mut>`. Nine
places fill it. The six in `ParseTask.rs` and `bundle_v2.rs` have the
bundle as `BundleV2<'a>`, so each wrote `unsafe {
ParentRef::from_raw_mut(p.cast::<BundleV2<'static>>()) }`. In the five
in `bundle_v2.rs`, `p` is `ptr::from_mut` of the bundle. The sixth is
`ParseTask::init`, a safe function that took `*mut BundleV2<'a>` and
read through it; its five callers all pass `self`. The three places in
`aot` (`plugins.rs`, `native_plugins.rs` and `components.rs`) fill `ctx`
from a `BundleV2<'static>` carrier and do not change.
`SourceMapDataTask` did the same as the six with
`LinkerContext<'static>`.

`ctx` is now `ParentRef<BundleV2<'a>, Mut>`, and those six places use
the safe `ParentRef::from_ref_mut(self)`. `init` takes `&mut
BundleV2<'a>`. `SourceMapDataTask` and `SourceMapData` get the linker's
`'a`, and their `ctx` is `ParentRef::new(&*self)`. `ParseTask<'a>` is
now invariant in `'a`. Only the runtime's task relied on shortening
`'static`, so `RuntimeSource` and the functions that make it are generic
over `'a`.

The worker side does not change. The thread pool callbacks recover the
task from its intrusive field as `ParseTask<'static>`, and so on, as
before, so `Result.ctx` and the code in `aot` keep `BundleV2<'static>`.

The pointers have the same value and provenance as before:
`ptr::from_mut(self)` and `ptr::from_ref(self)` reborrowed `self` too.
In `init` the reborrow is now the parameter. It lasts for that call, on
the bundle thread, inside a caller that holds `&mut BundleV2` anyway.
The change is in the types only, apart from the `noalias` and
`dereferenceable` attributes that `init`'s parameter gets as a `&mut`.

#### 27. threading: `ThreadPool::each_ptr` hands each task a `&mut V`

`each_ptr` takes `values: &mut [V]`, makes one task per index, and
blocks until all of them are done. It passed each task a `*mut V`. All
six callbacks, which are all in the bundler, dereferenced it with the
reason "`each_ptr` hands each task a distinct pointer". Five began with
`unsafe { &mut *ptr }`. The sixth, `run_nested_rename_task`, read two
fields at its start and wrote one at its end. That the pointers are
distinct and live is something only the pool can know.

The callback is now `Fn(&Ctx, &mut V, usize)`. `each_impl` has the
exclusive borrow of the slice, does not use it while the tasks run, and
gives each index to one task, so the block that computed `&raw mut
(*values)[i]` makes `&mut (*values)[i]` instead. The bound is
higher-ranked, so a callback cannot keep the reference, and `V: Send`
was required already. `EachCall::call` is a safe function now. Its
`ByValue` impl, which serves `each` and `each_while`, copies out of the
reference. Apart from step 5 of the linker, which passes its own
snapshot of the reachable files, every caller of those two passes a
fresh `vec[(); n]`.

No `&mut` lives longer than before in the five callbacks that made one
on entry. `generate_chunk` reads the other chunks through `ctx.chunks`
while each task holds the `&mut` to its own, as it did before.

The address and the bounds check are the same. What changes are the
attributes of the callbacks' parameter: as a `&mut V` it is `noalias`
and `dereferenceable`. Four of the six callbacks pass it on, and their
callees had these attributes on the same pointer already:
`post_process_js_chunk`, `post_process_css_chunk` and
`post_process_html_chunk` under `generate_chunk`, `generate_js_renamer_`
under `generate_js_renamer`, and `find_imported_parts_in_js_order` and
`EntryWalk::run` under the two closures. For `finish_js_renamer` and
`run_nested_rename_task` they are new; neither uses another way to reach
its value.

The doc of `GenerateChunkCtx` said that `each_ptr` asks for `Ctx: Sync +
Copy`. It asks for `Sync`.

### How did you verify your code works?

- **Static checks on the final commits:** `cargo fmt --check`, `cargo
clippy --workspace` (0 warnings), the source lints and `cargo check
--workspace --release` on Linux, and `cargo check --workspace --release`
for `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`, `aarch64-apple-darwin` and
`x86_64-unknown-freebsd`, because four changes touch code that Linux
does not compile.
- **Assembly:** the comparison above.
- **After the assembly comparison and the tests had run,** three more
commits went into #47895, which is under these, and a rebase brought in
one more commit of `main` (#47900). Together they touch 17 files, none
of which this PR touches, and they left all 27 patches here as they
were. The static checks ran after that.
- **30 test files on the final code,** on a debug build with ASAN, all
started at once and each stopped after 50 seconds: 22 files of
`test/bundler` (plugins, HTML, CSS, loaders, minify, naming, chunks,
`defer()`, metafile, cjs, browser, bytecode, the resolver's cache, the
transpiler) and 8 for the other changes (`Bun.password`, `fs.promises`,
two Postgres files that bring their own servers, glob, zlib, S3 and `bun
-e`).
  - 26 files pass completely, 1,419 tests. None fails.
- 4 files were stopped at 50 seconds: `transpiler.test.js`,
`esbuild/css.test.ts`, `bundler_bytecode_portable.test.ts` and
`glob/scan.test.ts`.
- With fewer files at once, `transpiler.test.js` passes completely (258
tests).
- Run by name, the 31 tests of `esbuild/css.test.ts` with `Layer` in
their names pass, and the 18 with `AtImport`. So do 11 of the 22 tests
of `bundler_bytecode_portable.test.ts`; the others did not end in 50
seconds.
- **30 test files on an earlier base,** some of them the same, run the
same way: 22 files of `test/bundler` (the API, plugins, HTML, CSS,
loaders, minify, naming, splitting, compile, metafile), the 3 files of
`test/bundler/resolver`, 3 of `test/bake/dev` and 2 of `test/js/bun/md`.
  - 21 files pass completely, 559 tests.
- 3 files need packages that I did not have, and fail in the same tests
on a debug build without these commits: `bundler_edgecase`
(`aws-cdk-lib`), `bake/dev/css` (16 tests) and `bake/dev/html` (9 tests,
both `happy-dom`).
- 6 files were stopped at 50 seconds: `bake/dev/bundle`,
`bun-build-api`, `bundler_cjs2esm`, `bundler_compile`,
`bundler_splitting` and `md-edge-cases`. In `bake/dev/bundle` 16 tests
had failed by then, all for `happy-dom`. In the other five no test had
failed by then.
- **22 scenarios by hand** on a debug build of an earlier form of the 12
bundler and transpiler commits, and on a debug build of their base. They
were `bun build` with splitting, minify, the source map modes, cjs
output, CSS layers, server HTML imports, HTML entry points, top-level
await, macros, `--compile`, bytecode and `--no-bundle`, running the
outputs, `Bun.build` in sequence, in parallel, with plugins and
`defer()`, and with failing builds, and the dev server with an edit and
a rebuild. Every bundle had the same digest on both builds, and ASAN
reported nothing.

…closeFunctions` unsafe to call (#47940)

### What does this PR do?

Eight follow-ups, one commit each. Four of them correct a signature from
#47231, #47291, #47338 or #47895 that promised more than it can keep,
and the fifth adds the null check that the review of #47901 asked for.
The last three come from the review of this PR: a comment of change 1
that was wrong, the kqueue sibling of `epoll_ctl`, and a gap in the
contracts of both.

A `safe fn` import, like any safe function, promises that no call that
compiles can go wrong: for every argument, in every state, on every
thread. Reading the C and C++ behind those PRs once more with that
question turned up nine functions that ask for more than their arguments
can carry (the two wrappers of `epoll_ctl`, six imports of the uSockets
loop and one of `bun:ffi`), a tenth that was a safe function before
those PRs (`bun_sys::kevent`), and one pair of out-parameters that asked
C++ for more than they need.

Together: **21 more `unsafe` blocks and 3 more `unsafe fn`s**, +116/−47
over 10 files. **On Linux the compiled code is the same; see [Where the
compiled code changes](#where-the-compiled-code-changes).**

| # | Change | `unsafe` | Diff |

really leaves behind | 0 | +2/−1, 1 file |

| 8 | sys, io: the contracts of `epoll_ctl` and `kevent` cover the
events already fetched | 0 | +7/−4, 2 files |

The commits can be reviewed one at a time.

Worth knowing before reading on:

- **Change 1 closes a hole that #47338 opened.** `epoll_ctl` registers a
value that the event loops later use as a pointer, and an epoll
descriptor is a plain integer that `Loop::fd()` returns. As a safe
function it let safe code anywhere in the workspace register any value
with either loop. No caller did. It is an `unsafe fn` again, and its
contract names the value, which its old one did not.
- **Change 7 closes the same hole on macOS and FreeBSD,** where it is
older than these PRs. `bun_sys::kevent` registers `udata`, which
uSockets uses as a pointer in the same way. It was a safe `pub fn`;
`darwin::kevent64` and the raw re-export were `unsafe fn`s already. Two
of its five callers register changes, each with a kqueue of its own
whose readers take `udata` as a number or ignore it. The other three
only wait.
- **Both contracts cover the events that the waiter has already
fetched** (change 8). `EPOLL_CTL_DEL`, `EV_DELETE` or `EV_ONESHOT` can
end a registration while the waiter still holds an event for it, so the
value has to stay good until the waiter is done with those. `FilePoll`
keeps to that: a slot that was ever registered is marked `IgnoreUpdates`
and is reused only after a tick has returned.
- **Changes 2 and 3 do not change what safe code can reach.**
`Loop::tick`, `run`, `drain_quic_if_necessary`, `close_all_groups` and
`FFI::close` were safe before #47231 and #47291 and still are. What
comes back is the `unsafe` block around each foreign call, with a
comment that says what the call relies on: that a handler which ticks
the loop is done with what the dispatch lent it, that no close handler
frees another socket group during the walk, that `functionsValue` is the
array that `cc` filled.
- **The types of #47231 stay.** The loop imports keep `&Loop`, whose
fields are `Cell`s, so no `&mut Loop` comes back.
- **Change 4 asks C++ for less.** `&mut bool` and `&mut EncodingLabel`
say that a valid value is there already; `&mut MaybeUninit<_>` asks only
for room.
- **Change 5 is compiled only for macOS,** change 7 only for macOS and
FreeBSD, and half of change 2 only for Windows.

### Where the compiled code changes

Nowhere on Linux. I compared the release assembly (x86-64 Linux,
`--emit=asm`) of all 134 crates of the workspace, before and after. For
93 of them the files are the same byte for byte. The other 41, with
34,996 functions, I compared function by function, with names demangled
and labels normalised. What differs there is debug information and the
hashes in symbol names. One function differs in a constant:
`MySQLConnection::send_handshake_response` holds Bun's version string,
which ends in the hash of the commit that was built.

The comparison ran on changes 1 to 5. Changes 6 and 8 edit comments.
Change 7 and the Windows half of change 2 are not compiled on Linux:
they put the same calls, five and six of them, with the same arguments,
into `unsafe` blocks.

Change 5 adds one test for null, and a panic behind it, to `Zone::init`.
It is compiled only for macOS and runs only in debug builds without
ASAN, once per zone.

### The changes in detail

#### 1. sys: `linux::epoll_ctl` is an `unsafe fn` again, for the value
it registers

`epoll_ctl` gives the kernel `event.u64`, and `epoll_wait` gives it back
to whoever waits on `epfd`. Both loops here use it as a pointer.
uSockets reads a `us_poll_t` through it (`GET_READY_POLL`,
eventing/epoll_kqueue.c) or passes a tagged one to
`Bun__internal_dispatch_ready_poll`, and the thread of `bun_io` turns it
into a `Pollable`. An epoll descriptor is a plain integer, which
`Loop::fd()` returns. So as a safe fn, `epoll_ctl` let safe code
register any value with either loop.

#47338 made `linux::epoll_ctl` and `linux_syscall::epoll_ctl` safe when
it typed their `event` pointer as `Option<&epoll_event>`. The reference
carries what their contract named until then, that the pointer is null
or valid. It does not carry this. Both are `unsafe fn`s again, with the
registered value as their contract, and they keep the reference.

`FilePoll::register_with_fd_impl` and `unregister_with_fd_impl` call it
in an `unsafe` block each, as they did before #47338. The compiled code
is the same.

#### 2. uws: six loop imports are unsafe again, and their callers say
what they rely on

#47231 put the fields of `Loop` in `Cell`s, gave the loop imports
`&Loop`, and marked six of them `safe fn` on the ground that a live loop
on its own thread is all that C asks for. C asks for more:

- `us_loop_run_bun_tick`, and `us_loop_run` and `us_loop_pump` on
Windows, dereference `loop->data.jsc_vm`. uSockets provides for a tick
inside a handler (`tick_depth`, `poll_cb_depth`), but the inner tick
receives into the same `recv_buf` that the outer handler was lent and
can dispatch the same socket again. On Windows it is a `uv_run` inside a
libuv callback, which libuv's documentation rules out.
- `us_quic_loop_flush_if_pending` stays out of lsquic's callbacks by
testing `processing`, which `us_quic_socket_make_stream` does not set
around the `on_stream_open` that it makes.
- `us_loop_close_all_groups` reads `next->linked` after the close
handlers of the current group ran, so none of them may free that group.
- `us_nq_loop_drain` takes `d->next` before
`Bun__nodeQuic__drainEndpoint` runs JS.

The six are plain imports again and keep `&Loop`. Their twelve calls, in
`tick`, `tick_without_idle`, `tick_with_timeout`, `run`,
`drain_quic_if_necessary` and `close_all_groups` on both platforms, are
in `unsafe` blocks again, as before #47231, with what each relies on in
its `SAFETY` comment. Those methods were safe before #47231 and still
are, so what safe code can reach is the same. The compiled code is the
same.

#### 3. ffi: `Bun__FFI__closeFunctions` is an unsafe import again

#47291 marked it a `safe fn` because C++ type-checks `library` before it
uses it. C++ also takes the `functionsValue` internal field of the
library, checks only that it is a `JSArray`, and reads it with
`getIndexQuickly(i)` for every `i` below its length (JSFFIFunction.cpp).
That is in bounds for the array that `cc` stores, which it fills from 0
to its length and which JS never sees. It is not for a sparse array, and
the generated `functions_value_set_cached` is a safe fn that stores any
value.

The import, which is local to `FFI::close`, is a plain one again and
keeps `&JSGlobalObject`. Its one call is in an `unsafe` block again,
which names the array. The compiled code is the same.

#### 4. TextDecoderStream: the two results of
`TextDecoder__createForStream` are `&mut MaybeUninit`

#47895 typed the two out-parameters `&mut bool` and `&mut
EncodingLabel`, where they had been raw pointers that the body only
wrote through. A `&mut` says that a valid value is there already. That
holds for the one caller, which passes the addresses of `bool
utf8FastPath = false` and `uint8_t encoding = 0`
(JSTextDecoderStream.cpp), but only because of those two initialisers
and because `EncodingLabel::Utf8` is 0.

`&mut MaybeUninit<bool>` and `&mut MaybeUninit<EncodingLabel>` ask for
nothing but room, and the body stores with `write`. The compiled code is
the same.

#### 5. alloc: `Zone::init` asserts that `malloc_create_zone` gave it a
zone

`malloc_create_zone` returns null on an error, says its man page. `init`
named the zone and turned it into a `&'static Zone` without looking, and
it is a safe fn since #47901. It asserts first that the pointer is not
null.

This is compiled for macOS only and runs only where
`heap_breakdown::ENABLED` is true: in debug builds without ASAN, once
per zone.

#### 6. io: the comment on `FilePoll`'s `epoll_ctl` says what `deinit`
really leaves behind

The `SAFETY` comment said that `deinit` unregisters the poll before its
slot is reused. `deinit` passes `force_unregister = false`, and for a
one-shot poll that has fired (`NeedsRearm`) `unregister_with_fd_impl`
then returns before its `EPOLL_CTL_DEL`. The entry stays in the kernel
with the slot's address in it.

What keeps that address from coming back is `EPOLLONESHOT`: the kernel
disarmed the entry when it reported it, and reports it again only after
an `EPOLL_CTL_MOD`. The comment says so. Only the comment changes.

#### 7. sys: `kevent` is an `unsafe fn`, for the `udata` it registers

`bun_sys::kevent` is to kqueue what `linux::epoll_ctl` is to epoll. A
change carries `udata`, and whoever waits on the kqueue gets it back. On
macOS and FreeBSD uSockets reads a `us_poll_t` through it
(`GET_READY_POLL`, eventing/epoll_kqueue.c) or passes a tagged one to
`Bun__internal_dispatch_ready_poll`, and `Loop::fd()` returns the
descriptor. As a safe `pub fn` over `&[libc::kevent]`, it let safe code
register any `udata` with the loop. No caller did. `darwin::kevent64`
and the raw `kevent` re-export were `unsafe fn`s already.

It is an `unsafe fn` with the registered `udata` as its contract. Of its
five calls, two register changes, each with a kqueue of its own whose
readers take `udata` as a number or ignore it: `wait_mac_kqueue` in
spawn/process.rs and `add_file_descriptor_to_kqueue_without_checks` in
the watcher. The other three pass an empty changelist and only wait.

All of this is compiled only for macOS and FreeBSD. The same calls are
made with the same arguments.

#### 8. sys, io: the contracts of `epoll_ctl` and `kevent` cover the
events already fetched

Both said that the registered value must be what the waiter expects for
as long as the registration lasts. That is not enough. `EPOLL_CTL_DEL`,
`EV_DELETE` or `EV_ONESHOT` can end a registration while the waiter
still holds an event for it that an earlier `epoll_wait` or `kevent`
returned. The value has to stay good until the waiter is done with
those, and the two `# Safety` sections say so.

`FilePoll` keeps to that, and the `SAFETY` comment on its `epoll_ctl`
names how: `Store::put` marks a slot that was ever registered
`IgnoreUpdates`, which the dispatch tests, and frees it only in the
callback that each driver of the loop runs when a tick has returned. By
then the batch that the tick fetched has been dispatched, and a tick
inside a handler has overwritten the outer one's.

Only comments change.

### How did you verify your code works?

- **Static checks on the final commit:** `cargo fmt --check`, `cargo
clippy --workspace` (0 warnings), the source lints and `cargo check
--workspace --release` on Linux, and `cargo check --workspace --release`
for `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`, `aarch64-apple-darwin` and
`x86_64-unknown-freebsd`, because changes 2, 5 and 7 touch code that
Linux does not compile.
- **Assembly:** the comparison above.
- **No tests were run locally,** because nothing that runs on Linux
changed.

…-ares, BoringSSL, `node:quic` and the parser (#47944)

### What does this PR do?

35 separate changes, one commit each: 10 in IPC, N-API, `bun:ffi` and
their neighbours, 15 in `node:zlib`, the c-ares and BoringSSL bindings
and `node:quic`, and 10 in the parser, the printer, CSS, `Bun.Image` and
smaller crates. They follow #47291, #47317, #47338, #47382, #47393,
#47414, #47871, #47893, #47895, #47901 and #47940 and work the same way:
signatures name the type and the lifetime that the value already has,
hand-written pointer code becomes plain ownership and borrows that the
compiler checks, and what was never needed is deleted.

Together: **125 fewer `unsafe` blocks, 17 fewer `unsafe fn`s and 4 fewer
`unsafe impl`s**, +870/−1499 over 58 files. No safe function became
`unsafe`, and no wrapper type was added. **[Where the compiled code
changes](#where-the-compiled-code-changes) lists every place where the
program does different work.**

The commits can be reviewed one at a time.

Worth knowing before reading on:

- **Nothing that users can see changes.** Under `test/`, a comment in
`spawn.ipc.test.ts` named a function that change 1 deletes, and the
inventory of the `vm-thread-door` source lint loses the entries of
removed `unsafe impl`s (changes 4 and 30).
- **Five changes end an aliasing or contract bug that had no visible
effect.**
- Change 6: `bun:ffi`'s `toBuffer` and `toArrayBuffer` made a `&mut
[u8]` over memory that belongs to the caller.
- Change 9: both `spawn` functions of the webview were safe functions
that dereferenced a `*mut VirtualMachine`.
- Change 15: `get_sockaddr` took a `&mut sockaddr`, 16 bytes, and wrote
a 28-byte `sockaddr_in6` through it.
- Change 24: ten safe functions of `node:quic` took a raw lsquic pointer
that they or a later function trusted.
- Change 32: `BlobReadChain::start` held a `&mut Blob` across a call
that can run JS.
- **The parser copies less:** moving the parser's slot into its drop
guard was a `memcpy` of 4,344 bytes per parse, and most callers made a
second one to drop it. Both are gone (change 26), and `P` is 32 bytes
smaller (25).
- **N-API entry points say what an add-on may pass** (change 3):
`Option<&NapiEnv>` has the ABI of a nullable pointer, null is `None`,
and every null test is where it was.
- **In `node:quic` the lifetimes come from the owner:** `create` returns
a reference that borrows from the endpoint or the session (change 23),
and a session holds `Option<Conn>` and a stream `Option<Stream>`, one
pointer each, with six repeated null tests fewer (24).
- **Functions that C, C++ or add-ons call have typed parameters**
(changes 3, 7, 16, 19 and 21). Each message names the call sites and
what they pass.
- **Imports that are `safe fn`s:** `Bun__napi_check_gc` and
`NapiHandleScope__escape` (change 2), `X509_get_subject_name` (17),
`EVP_DigestInit` and the digest getters, which return `&'static EVP_MD`
(18), and four that only write their out-parameters (28). Each message
says what the C side reads and writes, for every argument, in every
state and on every thread. The other shims over `NapiEnv` stay unsafe
imports, because they belong on the env's JS thread.
- **Dead code goes:** `IPCInstance::new` and `deinit` (change 1),
`write_reserved`, `advance` and `advance_by` (27), three declarations of
BoringSSL functions that nothing calls (18), three `unsafe impl
Send`/`Sync` (30) and an `unsafe fn as_slice` (31).
- **Parts of four changes are compiled only for Windows or macOS:** 1
(the Windows arm of `get_ipc_instance`), 9 (the macOS
`HostProcess::spawn` and the Windows arms of Chrome's `spawn`), 15 (the
WinSock names) and 28 (`mi_process_info` on Windows).

### Where the compiled code changes

I compared the release assembly (x86-64 Linux, `--emit=asm`) of all 134
crates of the workspace, before and after. For 95 of them the files are
the same byte for byte. The other 39 I compared function by function,
with names demangled and labels normalised. In 26 of the 39 (30,267
functions) no function differs: what differs is the debug information.
13 crates differ:

−28 |

The last five columns are net, and count the functions that exist on one
side only: 38 only before and 27 only after, which were removed, renamed
or inlined, or are no longer inlined. Where only constants differ, each
is an offset into the parser's `P` and is 32 lower, because `P` is 32
bytes smaller (change 25). The names that differ:

- `Store::append` has the same 112 instructions for `E::Object` and
`E::Array`, and the compiler keeps one copy in `bun_js_parser`. That
copy was named after `E::Object` and is named after `E::Array`, at 173
call sites.
- The twelve `do_resolve_cares` load the address of another function
(change 35, in the last table), and five functions of `Bun.Image` call a
wrapper (change 28, below).

**What costs something.** No change adds an allocation, a lock or a
reference count, and none adds a test to the source. These are the
places where the compiled code does more than before:

- **`Binding::to_expr` is compiled once per wrapping method (change
25).** One copy in `bun_ast` (505 instructions), which called the method
through a function pointer, becomes four in `bun_js_parser` (210 to 223)
and one in `bun_bundler` (225), which call it directly or have it
inline. That is about 590 instructions of code more. Each copy is less
than half as long as the one it replaces, and a call of it loses the
indirect calls and an `expect` per array or object pattern.
`maybe_relocate_vars_to_top_level` was one copy (134) for two instances
of the parser and is two (130 each), because each calls its own
`to_expr`.
- **Around it the inliner chooses differently.** `E::Array` and
`E::Spread` were stored through `into_data_store` (115 and 111) and two
`new_expr` (77 each). They are stored through `Store::append` (112 and
108), which is inline in some parser functions and not in others, in
both directions: `parse_type_script_decorators` and `pfx_t_open_brace`
of the bundler's parser are 88 and 86 shorter, `pfx_t_open_bracket` of
one instance 56 shorter, `parse_prefix` and `parse_jsx_element` of
another 31 and 30 longer. In the bundler two `from_bump_vec` (101 and
100) are functions of their own.
- **`has_globals_of_vitest` (35) is a function of its own (change 26).**
It was inline in both `_parse`, which call it once each.
- **`Bun.Image` unpins its input through `JSValue::unpin_array_buffer`
(change 28).** Six call sites in five functions called the C++ function
through a declaration of their own. They call the wrapper that `bun_jsc`
has for it, as `node:zlib` and `node:http` do. The wrapper is one jump,
which goes where the link inlines across crates.
- **The fields of `EVP` are laid out in another order (change 18).**
`md` is a reference now, and the compiler puts it first, so the context
is at offset 8. `EVP::drop` (1 to 2), `CryptoHasher::update` and its
export for `node:crypto` (1 more each) add 8 to a pointer that they used
as it was, and `EVP::final` (40 to 43) keeps that address in one more
register. `byteLength`, `digest` and `getDigestSize` are 1 longer for
another reason: they load `md` for `EVP_MD_size`, where
`EVP_MD_CTX_size` loaded it from the context after a null test.
- **The constructor of `QuicEndpoint` goes from 557 to 635 (change
22),** with 3 branches, 3 compares and 3 call sites more. It reads its
options before it makes the cell, so when a read throws it has to free
the bind host and the `Strong` on the block list itself. Seven fields
are stored once instead of twice. It runs once per endpoint.
- **The six `uv_*` stand-ins are 1 longer (change 10):** they load the
length of their name before the call that ends the process.

**Checks.** The source makes no check that it did not make before. These
are all the other functions in which the listing shows more conditional
branches, compares or panic call sites than before, and why:

| Function | Listing | Why |
|---|---|---|
| In the printer: `FmtAdapter::write_str` and `write_char`,
`print_binding`, `print_identifier_utf16`. 15 copies in `bun_bundler`,
`bun_install`, `bun_runtime` and `bun_sourcemap_jsc`. | 22 to 38, 59 to
71, 1,122 to 1,134, 106 to 114 and 133 to 162. +1 branch, +1 compare and
−1 call per place that writes. | Change 27. Each write called
`reserve_next` and `advance_by` in `bun_js_printer`. The capacity test
of the first and the store of the second are inline now, and growing the
buffer is the only call left. The `memcpy` is the same. In `write_str`
the compiler also skips it for an empty string. |
| `FFI.toBuffer()` | 224 to 223, +1 compare | Change 6. The compiler
duplicates one compare. |

Everything else that differs:

| Change | What differs | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | `get_ipc_instance` goes from 197 to 188, with 2 calls fewer.
`Bun__closeChildIPC`, `send` and `emitHandleIPCMessage` keep their
length. | **`CHANNEL` is set after the socket is set up instead of
before.** Nothing reads it in between. When the set-up fails, no box is
made or freed. |
| 4 | `napi_create_promise` goes from 76 to 75, with one call fewer: it
reads the promise with `value()`, and **stores `*deferred` after that
read instead of before it.** | Same promise. |
| 10 | Apart from the above: the body of
`CrashHandler__unsupportedUVFunction` (46 to 6) is
`unsupported_uv_function` (45), and `uv_posix::unsupported` (2) forwards
to it. | Only on a path that ends the process. |
| 11 | `run_task::handle` goes from 3,119 to 3,101 with 3 branches, 3
calls and 3 panic sites fewer. The three `release_unrun` go from 69 to
63 with one of each fewer. | The same count goes up and down at the same
places. |
| 12 | The three `write` go from 517, 519 and 519 to 514, 516 and 516. |
The same range check, after the copy is filled instead of while it is
borrowed. |
| 13 | `native_brotli_impl::Context::do_work` goes from 53 to 45. | Same
calls of brotli. |
| 14 | Six `AresReply::parse`, one jump each, go. | The parser is called
directly. |
| 15 | `Resolver::reverse` goes from 547 to 545, with one call fewer:
for an address that does not parse it calls `on_hostent` and not the C
thunk around it. | Same error. |
| 17 | `call_general_name_free` goes from 10 to 2: it calls
`GENERAL_NAME_free` by name, and loses a null test with its panic.
`GeneralNames::drop` keeps its length and passes null where it passed
that function. | Same frees. |
| 18 | Apart from the above: `Algorithm::md` goes from 63 to 25, because
its 16 calls are tail calls. The `init` of the 8 hashers goes from 28 to
26, and `getByName`, `getFromOther` and `copy` are 2 shorter: **one call
of `EVP_MD_CTX_init` fewer each**, which `EVP_DigestInit` repeats.
`EVP::by_name` goes from 53 to 48, `tls_server_end_point_hash` from 98
to 96 with one null test fewer. | Same digests. |
| 20 | `on_new_conn` goes from 683 to 684. Two exits call
`Conn::abort_error`, which calls lsquic, where they called lsquic. The
two exits that call `Conn::abort_silent` shared a call site and have one
each. | Only when a connection is refused. |
| 23, 24 | `QuicStream::bind_raw` goes from 264 to 258 with a branch, a
call and a panic site fewer. `create` and `create_stream` are 2 shorter,
`on_new_stream` is 1 longer. `QuicEndpoint.connect()` goes from 1,032 to
1,035: the exit for a failed connect is laid out twice, so `teardown`
has 2 call sites. Four functions keep their length. | Same calls of
lsquic. The result of `create` is tested for null instead of by a tag. |
| 25 | Apart from the above: two closures per parser instance (6 and 38)
and the code in `prepare_for_visit_pass` that stored them go. |
`to_expr` on a `P` before `prepare_for_visit_pass` used to panic and now
works. Nothing does that. |
| 26 | `_parse` goes from 5,133 to 5,075 and from 5,553 to 5,477,
`_scan_imports` from 895 to 830 and from 930 to 865,
`to_lazy_export_ast` from 582 to 569, `parse_only` from 1,674 to 1,662,
the drop glue of the guard in `_parse::<true>` from 615 to 556, and each
instance of `P::init` is 4 shorter. In `bun_runtime`,
`ContextParameter::of` goes from 2,047 to 1,969 and
`write_inline_snapshots` from 2,946 to 2,732. The stack frames of the
eight callers of `P::init` named here are 2,208 to 4,736 bytes smaller.
| **One or two copies of the whole `P`, 4,344 bytes, fewer per parse.**
`write_inline_snapshots` copied `P` in pieces, and copies fewer of them.
|
| 27 | Apart from the above: `advance_by` (2) goes, and `reserve_next`
goes from 19 to 10 because it returns nothing. | Same bytes. |
| 29 | `__bun_macro_context_call` goes from 1,876 to 1,870 and its
closure from 337 to 323. | Same macro calls. |
| 34 | `Rope::append` goes from 24 to 22. In `bun_ini`, `prepare_str`
goes from 1,030 to 1,018 with 9 branches fewer, `str_to_rope` from 143
to 136 and `commit_rope_part` from 66 to 61. | Same ropes. |
| 35 | The twelve `raw_callback` (33 to 52) had the record type's thunk
inline. They go, and the twelve thunks are functions under their own
names, with the same instructions apart from change 14. | c-ares calls
the same code. |

Every function that differs and is not named above differs by 18
instructions or fewer, and has the same or a smaller number of branches,
compares and panic call sites. Changes 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 16, 19, 21, 30,
31, 32 and 33 do not show up in this comparison. What changes 1, 9, 15
and 28 do to code for Windows and macOS is not compiled on Linux.

The comparison covers x86-64 Linux only, one crate at a time. The build
that ships also inlines across crates when it links.

### The changes in detail

#### 1. ipc: `CHANNEL` holds `&'static IPCInstance`, boxed once the
transport is up

`CHANNEL` held `Option<NonNull<IPCInstance>>` and `get_ipc_instance`
returned `Option<*mut IPCInstance>`, so `send`, `close_child_ipc`,
`global_object_connected_ipc` and `get_ipc_instance` itself dereferenced
a raw pointer. A channel that came up is never freed. The only free was
`IPCInstance::deinit`, on the two paths where the socket (on Windows the
pipe) could not be set up, and it was needed only because the box was
made and published before that attempt.

`get_ipc_instance` sets the transport up on the `RefPtr<SendQueue>` it
holds and boxes it after that has succeeded: `Box::leak` gives the
`&'static IPCInstance` that `CHANNEL` stores and the function returns.
On failure it detaches the queue and the `RefPtr` drops.
`IPCInstance::new` and `deinit` are gone, and the socket group stays the
`&mut SocketGroup` that `spawn_ipc_group` returns.

What differs when it runs: `CHANNEL` is set after `from_fd` and
`set_timeout` (on Windows after `windows_configure_client`) instead of
before. Only `get_ipc_instance`, `global_object_connected_ipc` and
`global_object_has_ipc` read it, and none of them runs in between:
`us_socket_from_fd` arms the poll, links the socket and may start the
date header timer. The failing path neither allocates the box nor
touches `CHANNEL`, and it releases the queue after the warning is
printed instead of before.

The comment on the test of the failing path in spawn.ipc.test.ts named
`IPCInstance.deinit`. It says what the path does now.

#### 2. napi: `Bun__napi_check_gc` and `NapiHandleScope__escape` are
`safe fn`

Each was declared with a raw handle pointer and called in an `unsafe`
block from a safe method on `&self`, which passed its `as_mut_ptr()`.
The handle is the only pointer they take. They take it by reference, as
the `safe fn` shims over `JSGlobalObject` do:

- `Bun__napi_check_gc` reads `nm_version`, which never changes, and asks
the heap whether the current thread is doing GC work, which any thread
may ask. It can abort the process.
- `NapiHandleScope__escape` answers false once the escape slot is used
or the scope is closed. It took the value as `usize`; it takes
`JSValue`, which is `repr(transparent)` over it. The empty value is
fine: the write barrier and the visitor skip a null cell.

The other shims over `NapiEnv` stay unsafe imports: they belong on the
env's JS thread, and a `&NapiEnv` is also held on pool threads and by
the collector.

Same calls with the same arguments.

#### 3. napi: entry points take the env and scope handles as
`Option<&T>` or `&T`

The 44 N-API functions written in Rust that begin with `get_env!`,
`preamble!` or `ungated!` took `env_: *mut NapiEnv`, and `get_env!` made
the reference with `unsafe { $env.as_ref() }`. `napi_escape_handle` did
the same with its scope, `napi_ref_threadsafe_function` and
`napi_unref_threadsafe_function` with the env in a debug assertion, and
three functions that only Bun's C++ calls with `&*env_` or `as_ref()`.
`napi_open_callback_scope` and `napi_close_callback_scope` ignore their
env and get the same type.

`NapiEnv` and `NapiHandleScope` are `opaque_ffi!` types: zero-sized,
align 1 and `!Freeze`, so every non-null pointer is a valid reference to
one, and `Option<&T>` has the ABI of a nullable pointer. The parameter
types say what the macro did: null is `None` and still answers
`napi_invalid_arg`.

Call sites of the three that addons cannot reach:

- `Bun__napi_register_cleanup_zig(env: &NapiEnv)`: `this`, in the body
of the `NapiEnv` constructor (napi.h).
- `Bun__napi_run_finalizers_after_teardown_wait(env: &NapiEnv)`: `this`,
in `NapiEnv::cleanup()` (napi.h).
- `Bun__napi_enqueue_finalizer(env: Option<&NapiEnv>, ..)`, five: `this`
in `enqueueRefFinalizer` and `doFinalizer` (napi.h), an env dereferenced
just before in `drainOneRefFinalizer` (NapiRef.cpp), one that
`node_api_post_finalizer` has tested for null (napi.cpp), and
`RefPtr::get()` in `NapiFinalizer::call` (napi_finalizer.cpp), for which
it keeps its null test.

Every null test is where it was. `type napi_env` stays for the
declarations of the functions written in C++ and for the callbacks into
addons.

#### 4. napi: `Finalizer::run` and `schedule` borrow their env, and
three more borrows

`Finalizer::run(&mut self)` only reads its fields, and it made an
unbounded `&NapiEnv` from `self.env.get()`. It takes `&self` and borrows
the env from the `NapiEnvRef` it holds, so the reference lives as long
as that ref. Its three callers own the `Finalizer` (two locals, one box
just taken back) and drop `mut`.

`NapiFinalizerTask::schedule` made the same unbounded reference twice.
Both go through the `NapiEnvRef` as well. Each borrow ends with its
statement, before `self` is given away: `vm_handle()` returns a
`BorrowedRef`, which has no lifetime, and `bun_vm()` returns `&'static
VirtualMachine`. The one other use of `global_this` was
`global_this.bun_vm()`, which is `vm`. `as_mut()` reads the thread-local
itself and uses its receiver in a debug assertion only, so a release
build runs the same code.

`napi_async_work::run_from_js` dereferenced `env` a second time for
`surface_exception`. `env_ref`, made from the same pointer, is still in
use after that line: the handle scope guard holds it to the end of the
function.

`napi_create_promise` read the promise back through the raw pointer it
had just made from its box. It reads the value first, with
`JSPromiseStrong::value()`, and gives the box away after, so `*deferred`
is stored after that read instead of before it.
`get().as_value(env.to_js())` reached the same value the long way: it
downcast the value in the strong slot to `*mut JSPromise` and turned
that pointer back into a `JSValue`. Two FFI calls go (the downcast,
`JSC__JSValue__asPromise`, and `NapiEnv__globalObject` for an argument
that `as_value` ignores), and with them the `is_cell` test and the null
test in `as_promise`, the unwrap of its result and the null test in
`opaque_mut`.

`napi_node_version::release` was a `*const c_char` to a literal, which
needed an `unsafe impl Sync` for the static. It is a `&'static [u8; 5]`,
`b"node\0"`: a thin pointer at the same offset, and the struct is `Sync`
by itself. The inventory of the `vm-thread-door` lint drops the entry.

#### 5. tcc: `Config::options` is `Option<&'a ZStr>`

`Config::options` was an `Option<NonNull<ZStr>>`, "kept as a raw ptr
rather than a borrow", and `State::init` turned it back into a reference
in two `unsafe` blocks on the caller's word that the string outlives the
call. Both callers start from a `&ZStr` and build the `Config` in the
argument of `init`, and `tcc_set_options` copies what it parses, so a
borrow for the call says the same.

`Config` has a lifetime and holds the `&ZStr`. In `CompileC::compile`
the string can borrow `self.flags`, so the `*mut CompileC` for the error
handler is taken before that borrow starts instead of in the `Config`
literal. The handler only pushes to `deferred_errors`.

Same pointers and the same calls.

#### 6. ffi: no reference is made from an address only to turn it back
into one

`make_napi_env_if_needed` cast the `*mut c_void` from
`make_napi_env_for_ffi` to `&'static NapiEnv`. Its one caller hands the
result to `Function::compile`, which turned it back into an address for
`add_symbol`, where it is a symbol's value and is not dereferenced.
`'static` was true (`makeNapiEnvForFFI` returns `&out.leakRef()`, so the
allocation is never freed), but nothing used the reference as a
reference. The function returns `NonNull::new(..)` of the pointer it
got, an `Option<NonNull<c_void>>` with the same niche, and `compile`
passes `as_ptr()`. `CompileC::compile` already passes that pointer as it
comes.

The comment at `add_symbol` called the env VM-owned; it names the leaked
ref. The doc of `make_napi_env_for_ffi` called it "owned by this global"
and ended "callers in `bun_runtime` cast to `*mut NapiEnv`", which
neither caller does. It says that C++ leaks a ref, and the clause is
gone.

`to_buffer` built a `&mut [u8]` over the caller's foreign memory for
`create_buffer_with_ctx`, a private function with this one caller that
split the slice into pointer and length again for C++. Its call of
`JSBuffer__bufferFromPointerAndLengthAndDeinit` is written into
`to_buffer`, with the pointer and length that `get_ptr_slice` returned.
Debug builds lose the precondition check inside `from_raw_parts_mut`;
release builds make the same call.

The helper declared that symbol itself, so the call was made from
`bun_runtime` before too; the declaration stands at the head of
`to_buffer`. `JSValue::create_buffer_with_ctx` in `bun_jsc` makes the
same call but is neither generic nor `#[inline]`, so it would stand
between `to_buffer` and C++ wherever the linker does not inline it.

`to_array_buffer` built the same kind of slice only for
`ArrayBuffer::from_bytes`, which stores the slice's pointer, its length
in `len` and `byte_len`, and the type, and takes the other fields from
`Default`. A struct literal sets the same four fields from the pointer
and length of `get_ptr_slice` and takes the rest from `Default` too. The
`unsafe` block stays for `to_js_with_context`, an `unsafe fn`. Debug
builds lose the same check here.

`noop_bytes_deallocator` has an empty body and is not an `unsafe fn`. It
still coerces to the `unsafe extern "C" fn` pointer that the deallocator
slot holds.

#### 7. ipc: the JSON decoder's free callback takes `&Cell<bool>`

`json::decode_ipc_message` wraps an ASCII line in an external string and
gave the address of a local `bool` as the context of the string's free
callback, which set the flag through the `*mut bool` in an `unsafe`
block.

`create_external` is generic over the context and documents it as a raw
pointer or `&T`. The flag is a `Cell<bool>`, the context is
`&Cell<bool>` and the callback calls `set(true)`. The callback has two
callers: `create_external` itself when the line is too long, and
`ExternalStringImpl::freeExternalBuffer` when the string is destroyed,
with the `m_freeCtx` it stored at creation (`releaseBufferEarly` also
calls it; nothing calls that).

The `unsafe` on `create_external` stays, and its comment names the flag
too: the string carries the lifetime of neither borrow.

The same byte is stored and read back.

#### 8. sql: the `ssl_config_from_js` and `timer_heap` hooks are safe
`fn`s

`SqlRuntimeHooks::ssl_config_from_js` was an `unsafe fn(&JSGlobalObject,
JSValue)` and its one call sat in an `unsafe` block whose comment named
no obligation ("may run JS getters / throw"). The one implementation
calls `SSLConfig::from_js` and boxes the result, all safe. The field is
a `fn`, the implementation and the call are safe.

`timer_heap` was an `unsafe fn(*mut VirtualMachine) -> *mut c_void` and
states no obligation either: the one implementation ignores its argument
and calls the safe `timer_all()`. The field and the implementation are a
`fn`. The block at its one call stays, for the dereference of the
result.

An `unsafe fn` does not coerce to a `fn` field, so an implementation of
either hook has to be safe. The same indirect calls.

#### 9. webview: both `spawn` functions take `&VirtualMachine`

`ChromeProcess::spawn` and the macOS `HostProcess::spawn` are safe
functions that took `vm: *mut VirtualMachine` and dereferenced it twice.
Each has one caller, which holds a `&JSGlobalObject`:
`Bun__Chrome__ensure` passed `bun_vm_ptr()`, and
`Bun__WebViewHost__ensure` cast the `&'static VirtualMachine` from
`bun_vm()` to `*mut`.

Both callers pass `global.bun_vm()`. `VirtualMachine::event_loop` and
`EventLoopHandle::init` are safe functions, so that block goes in each.
The block that dereferences the raw `transpiler.env` stays. Its comment
in ChromeProcess.rs called `map` a `&mut Map` slot; it is a field of the
loader, and the sentence goes.

In a release build `bun_vm()` and `bun_vm_ptr()` are the same read of
the thread-local, so the same code runs.

#### 10. crash_handler: `uv_posix` calls `unsupported_uv_function` as a
Rust function

`uv_posix::unsupported` reached the crash handler, which is Rust,
through its C symbol. It declared `CrashHandler__unsupportedUVFunction`
itself, returning `()` where the definition returns `!`, called it in an
`unsafe` block with the pointer of its `&'static CStr`, and put
`unreachable!` after the call.

The body of the symbol moves into `pub fn
unsupported_uv_function(name_bytes: &'static [u8]) -> !`. The symbol,
which `__bun_throw_not_implemented` in uv-posix-polyfills.c calls, keeps
its `cstr` and calls that function. `uv_posix` calls it too and has no
declaration of its own. Only the C symbol needed the NUL terminator, so
`unsupported`, `handle_type` and `ref_state` take the name as `&'static
[u8]`, and the six literals are `b"uv_close"` and so on.

The literals are one byte shorter. The rest differs only on a path that
ends the process: from `uv_posix` the length of the name comes with the
slice instead of from a `strlen`, which is one more instruction before
the call in each of the six. From C the counter is bumped after the
`strlen` instead of before it, and the reported stack starts one frame
deeper unless the function is inlined into the symbol.

#### 11. node:zlib: the write's completion owns its ref as a `RefPtr<T>`

`run_from_js_thread` and `release_unrun` were `unsafe fn(*mut T)`. Each
turned the pointer into a `ParentRef` behind an `expect` and released
the ref that `write()` took with `unsafe { T::deref(this_ptr) }`, once
on each of their four exits.

Both now take `RefPtr<T>`, read the stream through it and `drop` it
where the `deref` was, after `poll_ref.unref`. Their two callers, the
dispatch arm and `Taskable::release_unrun`, keep one `unsafe` block
each: `RefPtr::from_raw` on the queued pointer, which adds no ref.
`RefPtr::drop` calls `rc_deref`, which the derive forwards to the same
`CellRefCounted::deref`, so every path still releases exactly one ref.
The two `expect` null tests are gone.

#### 12. node:zlib: `borrow_input_copy` borrows the copy through
`JsCell::get`

The slice was taken inside the `with_mut` closure and rebuilt with
`slice::from_raw_parts` to get it out of the closure's `&mut` borrow.

The closure now only fills the copy and says whether the allocation
worked. The slice is taken afterwards from `input_copy().get()`, a
shared borrow that lasts as long as `&self`, which is what the signature
already promised. The range check is the same one `get(range)`, moved
after the closure. `write()` does not touch `input_copy` between this
call and `set_buffers`.

#### 13. node:zlib: `NativeBrotli` passes `&raw mut self.next_in` and
keeps `last_result` as a `c_int`

`do_work` copied `next_in` into a local, passed the local's address to
brotli and then advanced the field with `self.next_in.add(local -
self.next_in)`, in both modes. It now passes the address of the field,
as it does for `next_out`. brotli only advances `*next_in` and does not
keep the address.

`last_result` was a union of the encoder's `c_int` and the decoder's
`BrotliDecoderResult`, read with `unsafe` in three places. It is a
`c_int`: the decode arm stores `result as c_int` and compares the enum
value it still holds, and `get_error_info` compares with
`needs_more_input as c_int`. The slot keeps its size and its initial
value 0. The union had no other user.

#### 14. c-ares: `AresReply` names its parser as an associated const

`AresReply::parse` was an `unsafe fn` whose six impls each forwarded
their three arguments to the matching `ares_parse_*_reply` extern from
inside an `unsafe` block.

The trait now has `const PARSE: unsafe extern "C" fn(..)`, the shape
`HostentWithTtlsHandler::PARSE` has, and each impl names its extern. The
six externs have exactly that signature. `ares_reply_callback`, the only
caller, keeps its `unsafe` block and calls `(R::PARSE)(..)`, which is a
direct call to the C function once the callback is monomorphised.

#### 15. c-ares: `get_sockaddr` and `get_name_info` take
`sockaddr_storage`

`get_sockaddr` took `&mut sockaddr`, 16 bytes, and wrote a 28-byte
`sockaddr_in6` through it. Its one caller,
`Resolver::global_lookup_service`, cast its `sockaddr_storage` to that
type in an `unsafe` block, twice. Both functions now take the
`sockaddr_storage` the caller has. `get_name_info` takes it shared:
`ares_getnameinfo` has `const struct sockaddr *` and copies the address.
The first cast block in dns.rs goes, the second shrinks to `&mut
*request`.

Inside `get_sockaddr`, the two address stores went through `(&raw mut
field).cast().write(..)`. They assign `sin_addr.s_addr` and
`sin6_addr.s6_addr`, which libc and `bun_windows_sys::ws2_32` both name
so: the same 4-byte and 16-byte stores.

`get_host_by_addr` reported an unparsable address by calling its own C
thunk with `ARES_ENOTIMP`. The thunk only turns the pointer back into
`&mut T` and the status into `Some(Error::ENOTIMP)`, so it calls
`ctx.on_hostent` with that. Only `Error::ENOTIMP` names `ARES_ENOTIMP`
now, so it is a plain `const` like its neighbours that only the enum
names.

The comment on the `winsock` import in cares_sys is cut to the one line
that still holds.

#### 16. boringssl: `Bun__X509__checkHost` types its certificate and its
out-parameter

`x509` was a `*mut X509` turned into a reference with `unsafe { as_mut()
}`, and `out_peer` a `*mut String` that `set_peer` tested for null and
wrote with `unsafe { out_peer.write(..) }`.

They are `Option<&mut X509>` and `Option<&mut MaybeUninit<String>>`: the
same two null tests, and `MaybeUninit::write` stores without dropping,
as `ptr::write` did. The function stays `unsafe` for `host_ptr`.

Its one caller is `X509View::checkHost` in ncrypto.cpp. It returns early
when `cert_` is null, and passes either null or the address of a local
`BunString` that it initialises to the empty string and does not touch
during the call. `X509` is an opaque zero-sized `!Unpin` type, so `&mut
X509` claims nothing about the certificate's memory.

#### 17. boringssl_sys: `X509_get_subject_name` is a `safe fn`, and a
stack free without fn-pointer transmutes

`X509_get_subject_name` (crypto/x509/x509_cmp.cc:69) returns the address
of a member and reads nothing. It is a `safe fn` over `&X509`.
`common_names` is its only Rust caller.

`GeneralNames::drop` transmuted `GENERAL_NAME_free` to `fn(*mut c_void)`
and passed it to `sk_pop_free_ex` as `free_func`, and its trampoline
unwrapped that argument and transmuted it back before calling it.
`OPENSSL_sk_pop_free_ex` (crypto/stack/stack.cc:112) only passes
`free_func` on to the trampoline, so `drop` passes `None` and the
trampoline calls `GENERAL_NAME_free` by name. That removes two
transmutes and an `expect`, and the indirect call per element becomes a
direct one.

#### 18. boringssl_sys: the digest getters return `&'static EVP_MD`, and
`EVP_DigestInit` is a `safe fn`

The 16 `EVP_*()` getters returned `*const EVP_MD`, so `EVP::init` was a
safe fn with a `# Safety` section about its `md` pointer. Each getter
returns the address of a static object
(crypto/fipsmodule/digest/digests.cc.inc through `DEFINE_DATA` in
delocate.h:62, and crypto/digest/digest_extra.cc:276, 301, 326, 359, 393
and 416), so they return `&'static EVP_MD`.

`EVP_get_digestbyname` (digest_extra.cc:218) and `EVP_get_digestbynid`
(:79) walk one table (:43) and return what one of these getters or
`EVP_md5_sha1` returns, or null. `EVP_md5_sha1` (:455) returns the
address of a constant at file scope too. Both return `Option<&'static
EVP_MD>`. `Algorithm::md()` and the `EVP::md` field follow.
`Option<&EVP_MD>` is one word where `Option<*const EVP_MD>` was two.

A result that goes on to a `*const EVP_MD` parameter coerces, so those
calls are unchanged. Two callers tested a result for null.
`EVP::by_name` matches on the `Option`. In
`X509::tls_server_end_point_hash` the test stood after a `match` with an
`EVP_sha256()` arm and an `EVP_get_digestbynid()` arm. The second arm
ends in `?` and the test goes, so that arm has one null test as before
and the first has none.

`EVP_DigestInit` (crypto/fipsmodule/digest/digest.cc.inc:162) starts
with `EVP_MD_CTX_init`, which overwrites the three pointers of the
context before anything reads them, then calls `EVP_DigestInit_ex`,
which keeps `type` in `ctx->digest` (:157). It becomes `safe fn(&mut
EVP_MD_CTX, &'static EVP_MD)`. `EVP::init` calls it instead of
`EVP_MD_CTX_init` followed by `EVP_DigestInit_ex`: the same work in one
call. The `new_evp!` hashers in sha.rs called `EVP_MD_CTX_init` and then
`EVP_DigestInit`. They lose the first call and the block around the
second: one FFI call fewer per `init`, for the 8 types.
`EVP_MD_CTX_init` has no Rust caller left and its declaration goes.

bun-sema links no BoringSSL and has weak stand-ins in
src/sema/standalone/native_libraries.rs: its `EVP_sha256` (:167) returns
the address of a static, and its `EVP_DigestInit` (:199) aborts on any
other `type_` and overwrites the whole context, so both keep what the
signatures promise. Its `EVP_MD_CTX_init` (:187) stays, because a test
in that file calls it.

`EVP::size` asked `EVP_MD_CTX_size(&self.ctx)`, which is
`EVP_MD_size(ctx->digest)` after a null test. `ctx.digest` is `self.md`
from `init` on, so it asks the new `safe fn EVP_MD_size(&EVP_MD)`
(digest.cc.inc:36). `ctx` was a `pub` field that nothing outside EVP.rs
used. It is private, so only EVP.rs can break that equality.
`EVP_MD_CTX_size` has no caller left and its declaration goes.
`EVP_MD_do_all_sorted` has no caller either, and its declaration goes
too. The comment on `md` repeated its type and goes. `EVP::reset` is
unchanged.

#### 19. net: `BlockList__onStructuredCloneDestroy` takes the
`RefPtr<BlockList>` it releases

The hook was `unsafe extern "C" fn(*mut c_void)` and ended in `unsafe {
BlockList::deref(ptr.cast()) }`, the only use of that inherent `unsafe
fn deref`.

It now takes `bun_ptr::RefPtr<BlockList>` by value, which is
`repr(transparent)` over `NonNull`, so C++ passes the same pointer. It
removes the table entry under the lock as before and then drops the
`RefPtr`, which calls the same `ThreadSafeRefCount::deref`: one ref down
per call, matching the one ref up in
`BlockList__onStructuredCloneSerialize`. `BlockList::deref` goes.

SerializedScriptValue.cpp calls it in two places, the destructor (line
4300) and `releaseSerializedRefs` in `create` (line 4957). Both walk a
vector whose only `append` (line 1440) stores the `blockList->wrapped()`
that the line before passed to the serialize hook as `&BlockList`, and
each vector is walked once.

#### 20. node:quic: `on_new_conn` uses the `Conn` it already has

`QuicEndpoint::on_new_conn` wraps lsquic's pointer in a `Conn` at its
top. Two later exits wrapped the same pointer again with `unsafe {
Conn::from_raw }` and a null test to call `abort_silent`, and two more
called `lsquic_conn_abort_error` on the raw pointer. All four use the
first `Conn`.

`Conn::abort_error` takes a `&CStr`, so the two refusals pass `c""`
where they passed null. `lsquic_conn_abort_error` (lsquic_conn.c:208)
replaces a null reason with `""`, so the frame is the same. The argument
is now the address of a constant instead of zero.

No other crate names `lsquic_conn_abort_error`, so the declaration is
private.

#### 21. node:quic: the loop-driver callbacks take `&QuicEndpoint`;
`lookup_cert` stays typed

`Bun__nodeQuic__drainEndpoint` and `Bun__nodeQuic__processEndpoint` were
`unsafe extern "C" fn(*mut c_void)` that cast the pointer through
`unsafe fn from_driver_owner` and called `run_driver_pass(&self)`. They
take `&QuicEndpoint`, and `from_driver_owner` goes.

Each has one call site, node_quic_shim.c:601 and :615, both under `if
(d->owner)`. `owner` is written only by `us_nq_loop_register` (:571),
whose one caller, `link_loop_driver`, passes `from_ref(self)`.
`unlink_loop_driver` takes the node off the list before the endpoint can
be freed. A walk that is under way has read its successor already, so it
can still call an endpoint that the pass before it closed and unlinked;
`run_driver_pass` returns at once for it, as before. The reference lives
exactly as long as the `&self` of `run_driver_pass` did.

`lookup_cert` already held `this: &QuicEndpoint` and still ended in
`unsafe { get_ssl_ctx(owner, local) }`, which turned the `void*` back
into the same reference behind a second null test. The body of
`get_ssl_ctx` moves to `fn server_ssl_ctx(&self)`, and both callbacks
call it.

`lookup_cert` was the one use of the form `ctx: *mut c_void as r: &T` of
`lsquic_callback!`. The two arms for that form were otherwise only what
the two short arms forwarded to, so the short arms hold the expansion
themselves and the forwarding goes. No other use of the macro changes.

#### 22. node:quic: `QuicEndpoint::constructor` reads its options before
it creates the cell

The constructor built the struct with defaults, moved it into its JS
cell, and then stored each option it read through the raw payload
pointer, in six `unsafe { (*raw).field.set(..) }` blocks.

It now reads the options into locals first and puts them in the struct
literal, so seven fields are stored once instead of twice. The two
blocks that need the cell's address or the wrapper (the vtable, and
`state`/`stats`) stay.

What changes in order: the six property reads (`address`, `blockList`,
`blockListPolicy`, `disableStatelessReset`, `statelessResetBurst`,
`statelessResetRate`) keep their order and their conversions, but run
before the cell and the boxed vtable are allocated instead of after. If
one of them throws, the cell and the vtable are never allocated, and the
default bind host and the `Strong` on the block list are freed on return
instead of when the GC finalizes the abandoned cell. Nothing could reach
that cell, and its `Drop` has nothing to release at that point. The one
caller, `new Endpoint_(options)` in quic.ts, passes a fresh
null-prototype object of data properties.

#### 23. node:quic: `QuicSession::create` and `QuicStream::create`
return the reference they make

Both constructors form `&*payload` to finish setting the object up and
then returned the raw pointer, so each caller went back through `unsafe
{ (*session).x() }` with "was just created" as the reason.

They return `&'a Self`, and `'a` is the borrow of the owner.
`QuicSession::create` takes `endpoint: &'a QuicEndpoint`,
`QuicStream::create` takes `session: &'a QuicSession`, and
`create_stream` borrows from `&self` and passes the reference on.
`global` has a lifetime of its own. Both constructors took the owner as
`*mut`, and all five call sites passed `from_ref(self).cast_mut()`. They
pass `self`, and the cast stands at the one place in each constructor
that stores the back-pointer. In every caller the owner is the caller's
own `&self`, so no body can choose a longer `'a`. That is how
`live_session` and `endpoint_ref` bound what they return.

`apply_server_session_options` takes `&QuicSession`. Seven blocks go: in
`on_new_conn`, `apply_server_session_options`, `connect` and
`connect_verneg_probe`, two in `on_remote_stream` and one in
`open_stream`. The large block in `connect` shrinks to the
`lsquic_conn_set_ctx` call.

The payload belongs to the GC, and the compiler does not check that it
lives for `'a`. `create` roots the wrapper with `set_strong` before it
returns, and only `teardown` (for a stream, also `release_close_root`)
undoes that. After that the frame that has the reference holds the cell,
which is what `JsWrapper::payload_ref` asks of its caller. Of the
callers only `connect` tears the session down, and it returns right
after. Nothing forms a `&mut` to either payload before the sweeper drops
it.

Where a pointer is stored (`sessions`, `pending_new_sessions`,
`provisional`, `pending_verneg`, `streams`, the conn and stream ctx, the
two back-pointers) it is `ptr::from_ref(x).cast_mut()`, the form these
files use for `self`. Every use of those pointers forms `&T`. The
operations and their order are unchanged.

#### 24. node:quic: a session holds `Option<Conn>` and a stream holds
`Option<Stream>`

`QuicSession::conn` and `QuicStream::raw` were `Cell<*mut _>`. Nine
places wrapped the field again with `unsafe { from_raw(..) }` before
using it, among them the safe accessors `conn()` and `ls()`. Ten safe
functions took a raw lsquic pointer that they or a later function
trusted: `bind_conn`, `cache_sockaddrs`, `conn_peer_addr`,
`on_remote_stream`, `bind_raw`, `QuicEndpoint::on_new_conn`,
`defer_stream_abort`, `QuicSession::create`, `create_stream` and
`QuicStream::create`. `bind_conn`, `on_remote_stream` and `bind_raw`
wrapped their parameter, and `connect` wrapped at its end the pointer it
had tested for null further up.

The fields are `Cell<Option<Conn>>` and `Cell<Option<Stream>>`, and
those ten functions take the handle or an `Option` of it. 13 blocks go
and none is added. In `connect`, `from_raw` joins the block that calls
`lsquic_engine_connect`. The block in `QuicEndpoint::on_new_conn` moves
into the `on_new_conn` callback with its SAFETY comment. What is left to
prove sits where lsquic hands a pointer over (the `on_new_conn`
callback, `connect`, `on_new_stream`, `on_stream_read`). The fields are
cleared where they were set to null. `DeferredAbort::ls` stays a raw
pointer with its own `from_raw`, because what keeps it alive is a
different argument. `defer_stream_abort` stores `ls.raw()` in it.

In `connect` the local `Conn` is used after `apply_options`, as the raw
pointer was. The SAFETY comment at `from_raw` says why no script runs in
between when quic.ts calls.

`Conn` and `Stream` hold a `NonNull` and are `repr(transparent)`, so the
`Option` is one pointer with null as `None`. Each `is_null()` becomes
`is_none()`, `is_some()` or `if let Some`, one for one. Six null tests
go:

- `connect` tested the pointer from `lsquic_engine_connect`, and again
in `from_raw` at its end.
- `bind_conn` matched on `from_raw` of its parameter.
- `on_remote_stream` did the same.
- `refresh_conn_stats` tested the field and then `from_raw` of it.
- `bind_raw` had `from_raw(..).expect(..)`. Its panic path goes too.
- The `on_new_conn` callback tested its pointer, and
`QuicEndpoint::on_new_conn` tested it again in `from_raw`.

`report_close` matches on the field instead of testing it in a guard and
reading it again. 39 lines in lsquic_sys pass `self.0.as_ptr()`. `Conn`
gains `raw()`, which `Stream` had. The other operations and their order
are unchanged.

#### 25. ast: `Binding::to_expr` takes `&mut C` and the method that
wraps an identifier

`to_expr` took a `*mut c_void` context and a `ToExprWrapper`: a back
reference to the arena and a fn pointer to a trampoline that cast the
context back to `&mut P` or `&mut ExportHoist`. All four call sites hold
that `&mut` and the arena, so they pass both, and name the method
(`Self::wrap_identifier_namespace`, `Self::wrap_identifier_hoisting`,
`ExportHoist::wrap_identifier`) instead of a trampoline around it.

`to_expr` is generic over the context and the function. The function is
a zero-sized fn item, so nothing is passed for it and the call to it is
direct.

The cost is code size: `to_expr` is compiled once per method (four
copies in bun_js_parser, one in bun_bundler) and not once in bun_ast. In
a `--release` build bun_js_parser grows by 526 instructions in 343,000
and bun_bundler by 78, and bun_ast shrinks by 553.

`ToExprWrapper` goes away, and with it the `expect` on its arena for
every array and object pattern, the two fields of `P` that held it (32
bytes) and the code in `prepare_for_visit_pass` that filled them. One
behaviour differs: `to_expr` on a `P` before `prepare_for_visit_pass`
used to panic and now works.

#### 26. js_parser: `P::init` returns the `&mut P` it wrote, and
`init_p!` binds it

`P::init(out: &mut MaybeUninit<P>, ..)` returned `Result<(), Error>`.
`init_p!` called it, moved the slot into a drop guard and gave the guard
to the caller. Each of the four users of the macro then took its `&mut
P` out with `unsafe { __p.assume_init_mut() }`, and so did the fifth
caller of `P::init`, the copy of the macro that
runtime/test_runner/snapshot.rs writes out by hand because the macro is
local to its crate.

`init` cannot fail: its body has no `?`, `return`, `Err`, `unwrap`,
`expect` or `panic!`. And `MaybeUninit::write` returns the reference the
callers want. So the signature is

```
pub fn init<'o>(out: &'o mut MaybeUninit<Self>, ..) -> &'o mut Self
```

The guard holds that reference and the macro binds the caller's `p` to
it. The slot and the guard are locals of the expansion, which the caller
cannot name. The guard's closure runs `drop_in_place` on the reference,
which is what `assume_init_drop` does. snapshot.rs does the same by
hand: its guard type `InitializedParser` holds the reference, and its
`Drop` runs `drop_in_place`. Five `unsafe` blocks go, and with the `?`
the macro's hidden early return.

Compiled code, in a `--release` build of bun_js_parser (default flags,
no LTO), the parent of the commit before this one against this commit,
so with the 32 bytes that that commit takes off `P`:

- Moving the slot into the guard was a `memcpy` of the whole `P` (4344
bytes) in every caller. `_parse::<false>` and both `_scan_imports`
copied it a second time to drop it. All eight copies are gone.
- Stack frames: `_parse::<false>` 13240 to 11016 bytes, `_parse::<true>`
12856 to 10648, `_scan_imports` 9480 to 5176, `to_lazy_export_ast` 10008
to 5816.
- Instructions: `_parse::<false>` 5133 to 5075, `_parse::<true>` 5553 to
5477, `_scan_imports::<false>` 895 to 830, `to_lazy_export_ast` 582 to
569, and 4 fewer in each of the four instances of `init`.
- `init` returns its first argument, and LLVM sees that. In the five
callers that were read (both `_parse`, both `_scan_imports`,
`to_lazy_export_ast`) the code after the call ignores the returned
register and addresses `p`'s fields off the stack pointer, as before,
without a spilled pointer to `p`.
- `P` is dropped as before: inline in `_scan_imports`, by a call to its
drop glue in `_parse::<false>` and `to_lazy_export_ast`, and by a call
to the guard's drop glue in `_parse::<true>`.

No cost was found in the assembly. Run time was not measured.

#### 27. js_printer: the three `write_reserved` callers use
`print_slice`

`WriterTrait::write_reserved` got a raw pointer to `n` spare bytes from
`reserve`, copied the bytes there and committed them with `advance`. On
`BufferWriter`, the only `WriterContext`, that is `Vec::reserve`, a copy
and `set_len`, which is what `print_slice` does through
`Vec::extend_from_slice`. The three callers use `print_slice`, two of
them through `self.print` like the code around them, and
`write_reserved`, `advance` and `advance_by` go away.

`reserve` has two more callers, `print_ast` and
`print_with_writer_and_platform`, which pre-size the buffer and ignore
the pointer, so `reserve` and `reserve_next` stay and return nothing.

`print_slice` is `#[inline]` down to the `Vec`. `reserve_next` and
`advance_by` are not, and the printer is instantiated in other crates,
so without LTO each `write_reserved` made two calls into bun_js_printer.

#### 28. image, aot, mimalloc: imports that only write their
out-parameters are `safe fn`

Four imported functions took raw pointers to locals of the caller, and
every call was an `unsafe` block. Typed as references, the signature
says that the pointers are valid:

- `JSC__JSValue__borrowBytesForOffThread` (bindings.cpp) writes
`*out_ptr` and `*out_len`, or neither, and reads neither.
- `tj3GetScalingFactors` (turbojpeg.c) stores a constant in `*n` and
returns its static table.
- `Bun__AOT__initializeOptions` (BunAOTCompile.cpp) calls
`WTF::initialize()`, which is a `call_once`, and assigns
`makeDefaultCompileOptions()`: zeroes, three integers, a double and two
enumerators of enums generated from the schema that also generates the
Rust type. One of the integers comes from
`WTF::numberOfProcessorCores()`, which caches its answer in a plain
`static int`; two first calls at once both store the same value, and
safe Rust could already make them through `EngineOptions::new`.
- `mi_process_info` (mimalloc, src/util/stats.c) tests each of its eight
pointers for null before it writes through it, so they are `Option<&mut
usize>`.

`&mut T` and `Option<&mut T>` are passed like the pointers they replace.

Image.rs also had its own declaration of
`JSC__JSValue__unpinArrayBuffer`. bun_jsc declares that function `safe`
and wraps it as `JSValue::unpin_array_buffer`, which other files of
bun_runtime call. The two calls in Image.rs use the wrapper. That is the
removal of a duplicate declaration, not a proof: the compiler checks
nothing new at those two sites, and the C++ function still wants a value
that was pinned. In Image.rs that holds by construction, because `Pin`'s
field is private and a `Pin` is built only for a result of 2.

#### 29. js_parser_jsc: `MacroContext::call` borrows `self.macros` and
`self.bump`

`call` turned the map entry and the arena into `*const Macro` and
`*const Arena` "so the closure does not extend `&mut self`", and the
closure made references of them again with two `unsafe` blocks.

Both are borrows of one field each. What else `call` touches while they
live is other fields (`self.javascript_object`, and before that
`self.env` and `self.transform_options`), so the borrow checker accepts
`&Macro` and `&Arena` as they are. `call` holds `&mut self` across the
macro's JS as before, and `Runner::run` got the same two shared
references.

`disabled` and `vm` were copied out of the entry "so the borrow can be
released". They are read through `macro_`, `vm` after the `disabled`
test and not before it.

#### 30. ast, sql_jsc: remove three `unsafe impl Send`/`Sync` that
nothing needs

`JsonTape` is five `Vec<_, TapeAlloc>` and a fieldless enum. `TapeAlloc`
and what the element types hold (`StoreStr`, `StoreRef<ObjectJSON>`,
`StoreRef<ArrayJSON>`) have `Send` and `Sync` impls of their own, none
behind a `cfg`, so `JsonTape` is `Send + Sync` as an auto trait and its
two impls said nothing more.

sql_jsc's handle to the runtime's `SSLConfig` was declared `Send`. No
code asks for that. The type is not named outside the crate, and none of
its four holders looks at the bound:

- `MySQLConnection` sits in `JSMySQLConnection` as a
`JsCell<MySQLConnection>`, and `JsCell<T>` is `Send + Sync` for every
`T`.
- `PostgresSQLConnection` and `ConnectParams` hold an `Rc<SSLConfig>`,
which is never `Send`.
- `ConnectionCtorArgs` is `pub(crate)`, and nothing in the crate puts a
bound on it.

`Send` occurs nowhere else in the code of sql_jsc or sql, and the crate
has no platform `cfg`. Without the impl the handle is `!Send`, like the
`NonNull` in it.

The entry for src/sql_jsc/jsc.rs leaves vm-thread-door.inventory.json.

#### 31. css: two needless `unsafe` in values/ident.rs

`IdentOrRef::as_ident` built a `&[u8]` with `from_raw_parts` only to
turn it into the `*const [u8]` that `Ident` stores.
`slice_from_raw_parts` builds that pointer and no reference.

`arena_slice_newtype!` gave its three types an `unsafe fn as_slice` that
calls the safe `v()`. It has no caller.

#### 32. valkey, image, sql_jsc, ast: `&Self` guards, `&Blob`,
`&Symbol`, a `const` array

- `JSValkeyClient::on_valkey_connect` put `self.as_ctx_ptr()` in its
drop guard and dereferenced it there. Both calls in the guard take
`&self`, and `&Self` is `Copy`, so the guard holds `self`. The eight
other drop guards in js_valkey.rs held `BackRef::new(self)` (or `this`)
for the same kind of call. They hold the plain reference too, with no
other change.
- `BlobReadChain::start` made a `&mut Blob` of what `as_::<Blob>()`
returned and only called `read_bytes_to_handler(&self, ..)` on it, which
can run the handler, and through it JS, before it returns.
`as_class_ref` is `as_` plus the shared dereference, so the same tests
run.
- `CachedStructure::build_from_columns` made its array of `MaybeUninit`
with `MaybeUninit::uninit().assume_init()`. `[const { .. }; 70]` is the
safe spelling. In an optimised build neither form writes anything; at
opt-level 0 (the debug build) the old form copied the whole array with a
`memcpy` and the new one fills it with a `memset`, 70 × 32 = 2240 bytes
either way.
- `Symbol::merge_contents_with` only reads `old`, so it takes `&Symbol`.
No `unsafe` goes away with this one: its caller makes both references
from raw pointers.

#### 33. aot, md: three byte views go through `bun_core::slice_as_bytes`

`OutputSlice::put_words` (`&[u32]`), the test helper `bytes_of`
(`&[u64]`) and the markdown parser's copy of `current_block_lines` into
`block_bytes` (`&[VerbatimLine]`) each built the `&[u8]` with
`from_raw_parts`. `slice_as_bytes` is that same expression,
`#[inline(always)]`, behind the bound `T: NoUninit`.

`bytes_of` would only be another name for it, so it goes and its four
call sites, all in tests, call `slice_as_bytes`.

`VerbatimLine` (`#[repr(C)]`, three `u32`) gets the bound from
`impl_no_uninit!`, which compiles only if rustc can prove that the type
has no padding.

#### 34. ast: `Rope<'a>` links its segments with `Option<&'a mut
Rope<'a>>`

`Rope::next` was a `*mut Rope`. `append` walked the chain through
`StoreRef`, and `next_ref` turned the pointer into a `&'a Rope` of any
lifetime with an `unsafe` block for `get_or_put_object`.

Every segment is allocated in the arena that the head is allocated in
(`ropealloc` in the INI parser; `bun init` has a single segment), so the
link is a `&'a mut` into that arena. `append` walks a `&mut Option<..>`
cursor, and `get_or_put_object` reads `rope.next.as_deref()`.

`append` returned `Result<*mut Rope, AllocError>`, always `Ok`, and its
three call sites dropped the pointer. It returns nothing.

The null niche keeps the layout. In a `--release` build of bun_ast,
`get_or_put_object` compiles to the same instructions and `append` loses
the two that built its return value.

#### 35. c-ares: `ResolveHandler` names its callback as an associated
const

`ResolveHandler::raw_callback` was an `unsafe extern "C" fn` in the
trait. Its one impl, for `ResolveInfoRequest<T>`, forwarded its five
arguments to `T::RAW_CALLBACK` from inside an `unsafe` block.

The trait now has `const RAW_CALLBACK: unsafe extern "C" fn(..)`, the
shape `CAresRecordType::RAW_CALLBACK` and `AresReply::PARSE` have, and
the impl names `T::RAW_CALLBACK`. `Channel::resolve`, the only user,
keeps its two `unsafe` blocks: it calls the constant for a bad name and
hands it to `ares_query` otherwise. c-ares then calls the record type's
thunk itself, and not a thunk that calls it.

### How did you verify your code works?

- **Static checks on the final commits:** `cargo fmt --check`, `cargo
clippy --workspace` (0 warnings), the source lints and `cargo check
--workspace --release` on Linux, and `cargo check --workspace --release`
for `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`, `aarch64-apple-darwin` and
`x86_64-unknown-freebsd`, because four changes touch code that Linux
does not compile.
- **Assembly:** the comparison above.
- **After the assembly comparison and the tests had run,** three more
commits went into #47895, which is under these, and a rebase brought in
one more commit of `main` (#47900). Together they touch 17 files. This
PR touches one of them, Image.rs, in other functions, and all 35 patches
here stayed as they were. Then changes 2 and 17 were narrowed: six
imports that they had marked `safe fn` stay unsafe imports and are
called as on `main`. I compared the release assembly of all crates
before and after that, and no function differs. The static checks ran
last.
- **30 test files on the final code,** on a debug build with ASAN, all
started at once and each stopped after 50 seconds.
- 24 files of Bun's own tests pass completely, 3,137 tests:
`macro-test`, `css.test.ts`, `image.test.ts`, `image-adversarial`,
`bun-cryptohasher`, `x509`, `node-https-checkServerIdentity`,
`blocklist-gc`, `napi-value-ffi`, `cc.test.ts` and `ptr-byte-offset` of
`bun:ffi`, `ini.test.ts`, `valkey-gc`, 4 files on IPC (`spawn.ipc`,
`spawn-ipc-gc`, `bun-ipc-inherit`, `child_process_ipc`), 4 of
`test/js/node/zlib` and 3 of `test/js/node/quic`.
- 4 of Node's own tests for `node:quic` pass: `test-quic-blocklist`,
`test-quic-connection-limits`, `test-quic-endpoint-busy` and
`test-quic-internal-endpoint-options`.
- `node-dns.test.js` passes 144 tests and fails 28, the same 28 as on a
debug build without these commits. They need a DNS server, which I did
not have.
- `snapshot.test.ts` was stopped at 50 seconds, also when it ran alone.
No test had failed by then. Its group `inline snapshots`, which runs the
code that change 26 touches in snapshot.rs, passes when run by name: 35
tests, and 1 that the file skips.
- **8 more files for the parser, the printer and their users,** run the
same way.
- 6 pass completely, 964 tests: `transpiler.test.js`, `decorators`,
`decorator-metadata`, `es-decorators`, and `vitest-flavor` and
`expect-deferred`, whose callbacks go through `ContextParameter::of`.
- `bake/dev/esm.test.ts`, for the bundler's `to_expr`, passes 12 tests
and fails 7, the same 7 as on a debug build without these commits. They
need `happy-dom`, which I did not have.
  - `ffi.test.js` was stopped at 50 seconds. No test had failed by then.
