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 fns, +116/−47 over 10 files. On Linux the compiled code is the same; see Where the compiled code changes.

The commits can be reviewed one at a time.

Worth knowing before reading on:

Change 1 closes a hole that Remove 118 unsafe blocks from the syscall wrappers and the shell #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 fns 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 uws: put Loop's fields in Cells so its methods take &self #47231 and Remove 166 unsafe blocks by borrowing and by naming the lifetimes that values already have #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 uws: put Loop's fields in Cells so its methods take &self #47231 stay. The loop imports keep &Loop, whose fields are Cells, 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 fns 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 Cells, 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: `BunFFIcloseFunctions` 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 fns 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.

@claude, your commit 44382b4 is building: #137620

claude

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 TextDecoder__createForStream out-param change against its one caller in src/jsc/bindings/webcore/streams/JSTextDecoderStream.cpp:151: &mut MaybeUninit<bool> / &mut MaybeUninit<EncodingLabel> match the bool* / uint8_t* declaration (EncodingLabel is repr(u8)), and the caller's RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION fires before encoding is read, so leaving out_encoding unwritten on the throw path is fine. The Zone::init null-assert and the Bun__FFI__closeFunctions dense-array claim also checked out.

Extended reasoning...

The diff demotes epoll_ctl, six uSockets loop imports and Bun__FFI__closeFunctions from safe to unsafe with SAFETY comments at each call site, changes two extern out-params to MaybeUninit, and adds a null-assert in the macOS malloc-zone init; no auth, crypto or input-parsing surface is touched. Inline findings cover the inaccurate deinit claim in the epoll SAFETY comment, the untouched kqueue sibling, and the nested-tick dispatch hazard, so a human look is already signalled; this note records that the remaining TextDecoder ABI change was verified against the C++ caller and found consistent.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds a null check for macOS zone creation, changes TextDecoder output parameters to MaybeUninit, marks event syscalls unsafe, and updates FFI declarations and safety comments.

Changes

Allocator Initialization Guard

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Zone allocation check `src/bun_alloc/heap_breakdown.rs`	`Zone::init` now panics with `"malloc_create_zone failed"` if `malloc_create_zone` returns null.

TextDecoder Output Initialization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Stream creation outputs `src/runtime/webcore/TextDecoder.rs`	`TextDecoder__createForStream` now accepts `MaybeUninit` output references and writes the selected encoding and fast-path flag through them.

Event Syscall Safety Contracts

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Syscall contracts `src/sys/lib.rs`, `src/sys/linux_syscall.rs`	`epoll_ctl` and `kevent` are now unsafe and document lifetime requirements for registered event data.
Event registration and waits `src/io/posix_event_loop.rs`, `src/spawn/process.rs`, `src/watcher/*`	The event-loop, process-wait, and watcher call sites now invoke `epoll_ctl` or `kevent` inside unsafe blocks. Existing operations and result handling remain unchanged.

FFI Safety Contracts

Layer / File(s)	Summary
FFI function closing `src/runtime/ffi/ffi_body.rs`	`Bun__FFI__closeFunctions` and its call are marked unsafe. Comments describe array initialization and indexing assumptions.
Loop and QUIC FFI calls `src/uws_sys/Loop.rs`	Safety comments document assumptions for POSIX and Windows loop and QUIC calls. Selected C declarations no longer use explicit `safe` annotations.

Suggested reviewers: alii, robobun

Merge Risk: Low · up to 44382

This PR mainly makes unsafe operations explicit and documents their assumptions, with no reported change to Linux behavior. Before relying on the new safety contracts, tighten the kevent documentation about event lifetime, and be aware of two earlier unresolved concerns: FFI function-array liveness and recursive loop ticking. The risk is limited and none of it is a new regression.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: making epoll_ctl, kevent, the six uSockets loop imports and Bun__FFI__closeFunctions unsafe to call. The raw summary confirms these changes (epoll_ctl and kevent wrappers become unsafe fn, six loop imports and closeFunctions become unsafe extern or unsafe blocks). The title omits the TextDecoder, Zone::init, and comment changes, which are secondary. It is specific and accurate, though long at 99 characters.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template: it has a "What does this PR do?" section with a detailed, itemized account of the eight changes, and a "How did you verify your code works?" section listing static checks, an assembly comparison, and the decision not to run tests locally. It is thorough and specific, so the template's required information is present. Minor point: the verification section relies on the author's own static checks and assembly comparison rather than tests, which the author states explicitly and justifies.

Major · Stability & Availability · Heavy lift

Guard dlclose for dlopen libraries that close while a native call is running.

dlopen and linkSymbols never set the functionsValue cache. Bun__FFI__closeFunctions therefore returns false before its call-stack scan. FFI::do_close then calls dlclose at once. If a native function calls a JSCallback that closes its library, the native code can return into unmapped memory.

Suggested direction

The compile path already defers unloading for in-flight calls through is_running. The dlopen and linkSymbols paths need the same protection, for example by tracking their JSFFIFunction callees or by deferring dylib.close() until no call is active. The inspected source does not establish a single-line fix, so no diff is proposed.

Minor · Potential issue · Heavy lift

The safe POSIX tick wrapper documents a caller obligation to stop using dispatch-lent state before recursively ticking, but does not enforce it. The comment explicitly acknowledges that recursive ticking refills the receive buffer and can redispatch the same socket.

The handler may observe overwritten input or access socket state invalidated by nested dispatch.

This can occur when: A socket handler recursively ticks the loop and then continues using its original receive data or socket state.

… 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.

`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.

BuildKite was red, and nothing had failed only here when this was merged.

main is red at 05a0ec9, the base of this PR (build 137611), as it was at b9f2ec3 (137481): 38 files, all under test/aot/ but for test/bundler/compile-aot-size.test.ts.

I have no fix to port. AOT: hangs, wrong answers, failed builds; bun test --aot follows #44833's mocks #47605 ("AOT: hangs, wrong answers, failed builds; bun test --aot follows bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833's mocks") looks like the fix for most of them, and it changes 7,093 files.

On the two follow-ups in CodeRabbit's review. Both are real, both are older than this PR, and neither is changed here.

close() of a dlopen or linkSymbols library while one of its functions is running (ffi_body.rs). Confirmed: only cc stores functionsValue, so for the other two Bun__FFI__closeFunctions returns false before it scans the stack, and do_close calls dylib.close() and drops the compiled wrappers at once. A JSCallback that closes its own library then returns into code that is gone. This PR only marks the import unsafe again. The fix is to give those two paths what cc has, which is a change in behaviour with tests of its own.
Loop::tick states what a handler that ticks must not do, and does not enforce it (Loop.rs). That is the point of change 2: the methods were safe before uws: put Loop's fields in Cells so its methods take &self #47231 and still are, and the unsafe block with its comment marks the place where the rule is relied on. Enforcing it means changing how the dispatch lends the receive buffer and the socket state to handlers.

LGTM — the two follow-up commits address both points from my earlier review, and the rest of the change is a mechanical tightening of unsafe boundaries with no logic change.

What was reviewed:

bun_sys::kevent becoming unsafe fn: grepped every call site on the macOS/FreeBSD arm (process.rs, KEventWatcher.rs, Watcher.rs) — all five are wrapped; the other kevent( uses go through the raw freebsd::/darwin:: re-exports, which were already unsafe fn.
The six uSockets loop imports: all twelve calls in Loop.rs are wrapped on both the POSIX and Windows arms, so the cfg-gated Windows half will type-check.
TextDecoder__createForStream: out_encoding is still written before the UTF-8 fast-path early return, so the out-param contract with JSTextDecoderStream.cpp is preserved.
The release assert! in Zone::init: continuing on null would be &*null, so a hard check (not debug-only) is the right default here.

Extended reasoning...

The PR touches 10 Rust files (+113/-47), turning epoll_ctl and kevent wrappers back into unsafe fn, removing safe from six uSockets loop imports and one FFI import, wrapping each call in unsafe with SAFETY comments, changing two out-params to &mut MaybeUninit, and adding one null assertion in the macOS allocator zone setup. It touches the event-loop and FFI boundary but adds no new logic; the only behavioural change is the macOS-only assert!. The two commits pushed since my prior review correct the FilePoll SAFETY comment and apply the same unsafe fn contract to the kqueue sibling, which were my two earlier findings. All cfg-gated call sites were checked by grep since macOS/FreeBSD/Windows code is not type-checked on this Linux checkout, no changed file is under CODEOWNERS, and no third-party review is in a CHANGES_REQUESTED state.

…lready 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.

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

+            // SAFETY: `watcher_fd` is the epoll instance of `loop_`, whose dispatch decodes a
+            // `Pollable`. `deinit` removes the entry, or leaves one that `EPOLLONESHOT` disarmed
+            // when it fired, which is not reported again. `Store::put` then holds the slot back,
+            // marked `IgnoreUpdates`, until a tick returns, when no event fetched for it is left.


🟣 pre-existing, not blocking: Pre-existing: a FilePoll slot can be recycled while the outer epoll/kqueue batch still holds an event for it, so a handler that nests a tick can get a stale event dispatched to a fresh poll or a poisoned/freed slot. The SAFETY text at src/io/posix_event_loop.rs:631-632 says the slot is held until a tick returns with no fetched event left, but process_deferred_frees runs from on_after_event_loop after every tick, nested ones included. Fix: free deferred FilePoll slots only when no outer dispatch is in progress (e.g. gate the after-loop thunk on the loop's tick_depth being 0, as loop.c:505 does for closed sockets), so the invariant the comment states holds for every caller of tick_with_timeout/tick_without_idle.
A small fix can ride a push you are already making; otherwise a short reply is enough.

Why this was flagged

Trigger: an outer tick fetched a batch with events for slots A and B (packages/bun-usockets/src/eventing/epoll_kqueue.c:536, dispatched at :260). A's handler deinit()s B (src/io/posix_event_loop.rs:361-388 puts B on the deferred list with IgnoreUpdates at :1377) and deactivates the last registered poll so num_polls is 0, then runs user JS that waits synchronously (src/jsc/event_loop.rs:1270-1273 wait_for_promise -> auto_tick). The nested us_loop_run_bun_tick returns at epoll_kqueue.c:479-480 without overwriting num_ready_polls, so the outer batch stays live, yet src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs:1167 still calls on_after_event_loop, which runs process_deferred_frees and hive.puts B. When the outer loop reaches B's entry, Bun__internal_dispatch_ready_poll (src/io/posix_event_loop.rs:1483-1484) reads flags of a freed slot, or, if A's handler got slot B back from get_init, delivers A's batch event to the new owner. Base branch behaves the same; the diff adds the SAFETY claim that rules it out.

Verification: pre-existing. auto_tick (src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs:1167) calls (*vm).on_after_event_loop() unconditionally after every tick, nested or not. process_deferred_frees (:1307-1324) then calls hive.put(current). The outer loop resumes with its original batch and calls Bun__internal_dispatch_ready_poll for B, which reads (*B).flags at src/io/posix_event_loop.rs:1483-1484 from a slot already returned to the hive.

bun_sys::kevent is an unsafe fn since #47940. Its contract is the udata that a change registers. The reader thread of this kqueue reads udata as a number, and its own call registers nothing.

…-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.

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: | Crate | Functions | Differ | Other constants or names only | Same length | Shorter | Longer | Instructions | Branches | Compares | Calls | Panic call sites | |---|--:|--:|--:|--:|--:|--:|--:|--:|--:|--:|--:| | `bun_ast` | 352 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | −555 | −45 | −45 | −46 | −9 | | `bun_js_parser` | 1,361 | 374 | 327 | 4 | 34 | 9 | +223 | −24 | −32 | +12 | −6 | | `bun_bundler` | 1,983 | 38 | 26 | 0 | 6 | 6 | +143 | +5 | +3 | −8 | −4 | | `bun_runtime` | 11,204 | 131 | 76 | 12 | 21 | 22 | −207 | +2 | +3 | −16 | −8 | | `bun_js_printer` | 130 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | −11 | 0 | 0 | −1 | 0 | | `bun_install`, `bun_sourcemap_jsc` | 3,000 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 6 | +97 | +9 | +9 | −7 | 0 | | `bun_sha_hmac` | 34 | 10 | 0 | 1 | 9 | 0 | −54 | 0 | 0 | −24 | 0 | | `bun_boringssl_sys` | 14 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 0 | −10 | −2 | −2 | −1 | −1 | | `bun_ini` | 59 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 0 | −24 | −11 | −12 | −1 | 0 | | `bun_js_parser_jsc` | 51 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | −20 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | `bun_cares_sys` | 21 | 0 | | | | | −6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | `bun_crash_handler` | 123 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | +5 | 0 | 0 | +1 | 0 | | All 13 | 18,332 | 570 | 429 | 18 | 80 | 43 | −419 | −66 | −76 | −91 | −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.

Four functions keep their length. | Same calls of lsquic.

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. --- _Generated by [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code)_ --------- Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

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

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

3. ffi: Bun__FFI__closeFunctions is an unsafe import again

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. ffi: `BunFFIcloseFunctions` is an unsafe import again

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

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

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

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

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