Fixes #37257

Repro

// enum1.ts
export enum Enum1 { K1 = "V" }

// main.ts
import { Enum1 } from "./enum1";
enum Enum2 { K2 = Enum1.K1 }
console.log(Object.entries(Enum2));
// before: [ [ "K2", "V" ], [ "V", "K2" ] ]
// after:  [ [ "K2", "V" ] ]

The issue reports this in the REPL (each line is its own transpile unit), but it also reproduces for any unbundled cross-file enum reference, as above.

Cause

When lowering an enum, the transpiler only skips the numeric-style reverse mapping when it can statically prove the member value is a string. A reference to an enum from another transpile unit is an opaque identifier, so it fell into the numeric branch and unconditionally emitted Enum2[Enum2["K2"] = Enum1.K1] = "K2", which at runtime assigns Enum2["V"] = "K2".

Fix

When the member value's type is statically unknown, emit the reverse mapping behind a runtime check:

typeof (Enum2["K2"] = Enum1.K1) !== "string" && (Enum2[Enum2["K2"]] = "K2");

This matches tsc's semantics (tsc resolves cross-enum constants with type information, so string members never get a reverse mapping while computed numeric members do). Statically known values are unaffected: known strings still get no reverse mapping and no check, known numbers keep the unconditional reverse mapping, and same-unit enum references are still inlined as before.

The ahead-of-time compiler (bun build --compile --aot) lowers enums on its own, so it gets the same change in src/aot/lower/typescript/enums.rs, in both its IR path and the function text it embeds. It classifies an initializer by the same syntactic rule as the transpiler, so a plain run and a compiled run agree by construction. The checker's type is not used: a declare return type is trusted whatever the JavaScript returns, and a computed member is typed as a number whatever it holds.

known_primitive in src/ast/expr.rs said bigint for + when either side was a bigint. esbuild says so only when both are, and 1n + v is a string when v is. The port now matches esbuild, so that member gets the check too.

The runtime transpiler cache keys on the source hash and the feature flags only, so EXPECTED_VERSION in src/jsc/RuntimeTranspilerCache.rs is bumped to 52. Without it an entry written by an older bun would still serve the old output.

Tests

  • test/bundler/transpiler/ts-enum-cross-module.test.ts (new): a cross-file string member and a cross-file Mixed initializer (Enum1.K1 + Enum1.K2) and a bigint addition (1n + Enum1.K1) get no reverse mapping, a cross-file numeric member keeps its reverse mapping. The string case fails on current bun.
  • test/bundler/bundler_edgecase.test.ts: the same shape through bun build with bundling on, plain and with minifySyntax. Both fail on current bun: the bundled output had the same bogus entry.
  • test/js/bun/repl/repl.test.ts: the REPL repro from the issue.
  • test/aot/the-text-of-a-function-with-an-enum-or-a-name-of-a-namespace-in-a-test-run.test.ts: a computed member that is a string at run time prints the same keys in a plain run and in a --debug-aot run. Fails without the AOT change. Two bun_aot unit tests pin the embedded text for a typed and for an any initializer (both guarded).
  • Updated expected output in transpiler.test.js and esbuild/ts.test.ts for members with statically unknown values (e.g. Z = Foo self-reference, function-valued members); their runtime-behavior assertions still pass unchanged.

Downsides

  • Members whose value type is statically unknown (cross-module references, calls, self-references) emit a typeof check and a read-back: about 30 more bytes per such member, and one extra property read at enum init. Known strings and known numbers emit exactly the same code as before.
  • A computed member typed any whose run-time value is a string no longer gets a reverse entry. tsc emits one for that declared type, but neither path can tell a lying any from a real number at run time, and the AOT checker types every computed member as a number.
  • This diverges from esbuild, which emits the unconditional reverse mapping and has the same runtime bug for unbundled cross-module string references. tsc is the semantics reference here.
  • Every cached transpiler entry is rebuilt once after the upgrade (cache version bump).
Notes

Supersedes #37263, which CI passed but the stale bot closed after 90 days with no maintainer comment. This PR is that branch rebased onto current main, plus the AOT lowering and the cache version from review.

Suites run locally with the debug build: test/bundler/transpiler/transpiler.test.js, test/bundler/esbuild/ts.test.ts, test/bundler/bundler_edgecase.test.ts, test/js/bun/repl/repl.test.ts, both test/aot/*enum* files, and bun run rust:test -p bun_aot (3290 lib tests pass; one IR fixture about node_modules contents fails on this machine without the change too).

…known

A TypeScript enum member whose value references an enum from another
transpile unit (another file at runtime, or a previous REPL line) was
always given a numeric-style reverse mapping. When the referenced value
is a string, that adds bogus entries visible via Object.entries/keys/values.

Emit the reverse mapping behind a typeof check when the value's type
cannot be determined statically, matching tsc's emit semantics: string
members get no reverse mapping, numeric members keep theirs.

Walkthrough

Enum visitation and AOT lowering now distinguish values known not to be strings from values with unknown primitive types. For unknown values, generated code creates a reverse mapping only when the runtime value is not a string. Tests cover transpilation, AOT, bundling, cross-module enums, and REPL input.

Changes

TypeScript enum reverse mapping

Layer / File(s) Summary
Initializer classification
src/aot/lower/typescript/enum_values.rs, src/js_parser/visit/visit_stmt.rs
Primitive inference now distinguishes values known not to be strings from values with unknown types. Enum visitation tracks initializers that may produce strings.
Guarded reverse-mapping emission
src/aot/lower/typescript/enums.rs, src/js_parser/visit/visit_stmt.rs, src/jsc/RuntimeTranspilerCache.rs
Parser visitation and AOT lowering create reverse mappings for potentially string-valued initializers only when the assigned value is not a string. The runtime transpiler cache format version increases from 51 to 52.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the primary change: the transpiler now skips the TypeScript enum reverse mapping at runtime for string-valued members whose type is statically unknown. The changeset matches this. It adds a runtime typeof guard in enum lowering in the JS parser and AOT, updates the related tests, and bumps the runtime transpiler cache version. The title is specific and does not use vague terms. It does not mention the AOT or cache changes, which is acceptable because it need not cover every detail.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#37257] Objective: Object.entries, Object.keys, and Object.values of an enum must not include a reverse entry for a string-valued member that references an enum from another transpile unit (Enum2 { K2 = Enum1.K1 }, Enum1.K1 = "V"). Evidence at the reviewed head: src/js_parser/visit/visit_stmt.rs sets value_may_be_string when visited.known_primitive() is Unknown or Mixed. For such members, the lowering emits typeof (Enum2["K2"] = Enum1.K1) !== "string" && (Enum2[Enum2["K2"]] = "K2"). At run time a string value skips the reverse mapping, so the output matches the expected output in the issue. Statically known strings still emit no reverse mapping and no check. Statically known numbers keep the unconditional reverse mapping. Tests: test/js/bun/repl/repl.test.ts adds a REPL case with the issue's enum sequence. It expects Object.keys(Enum2) to return only "K2". test/bundler/transpiler/ts-enum-cross-module.test.ts covers the cross-file string and numeric cases. The author reports this REPL test did not run on the author's machine, and the evidence notes it is deferred to CI. Test results were not run in this review, so the test outcome is not independently confirmed. The code path matches the issue requirement.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

Whole-PR diff against merge base 2596ac5 covers these changes. (1) src/js_parser/visit/visit_stmt.rs adds the value_may_be_string guard. This is the core fix for #37257. (2) src/aot/lower/typescript/enums.rs adds a ComputedUnknown branch that emits the same typeof guard in AOT output. The PR description states the AOT lowering must follow the same enum semantics. Its runtime behavior matches the transpiler change, so it supports the same objective. (3) src/aot/lower/typescript/enum_values.rs and src/aot/compile/tests.rs classify initializer types and test the AOT output. These support the AOT lowering. (4) src/jsc/RuntimeTranspilerCache.rs bumps EXPECTED_VERSION from 51 to 52. The PR description states this is needed because cached transpiler output from before the change would otherwise be reused. This supports the fix. (5) test/bundler/esbuild/ts.test.ts, test/bundler/transpiler/transpiler.test.js, test/bundler/bundler_edgecase.test.ts, test/aot/*, and test/bundler/transpiler/ts-enum-cross-module.test.ts update or add tests for the changed enum output. Each one covers members whose value is statically unknown or covers the new guard. No change was found that is unrelated to enum reverse-mapping behavior. The PR documents its trade-offs (about 30 bytes per unknown member, the any-typed string divergence from esbuild). These are design consequences, not unrelated changes.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template with both required sections, "What does this PR do?" and "How did you verify your code works?". It is detailed and specific. It gives a repro, the root cause, the fix, the AOT change, the cache version bump, and the downsides. The Tests section lists each new or updated test and what it checks. The verification section lists local suites run with the debug build. One gap is that the repl.test.ts suite was not run on the author's machine. The PR evidence marks it as deferred to CI, so this is a known and disclosed gap, not a missing section.

Addressed the one review finding in its thread: the bigint-addition case is invalid TypeScript and comes from the shared known_primitive helper, not from this change, so it stays out of scope here.

…e version

The ahead-of-time compiler lowers enums on its own. A member whose
initializer the checker cannot type (any, an untrusted file) now gets the
same run-time typeof check as the transpiler emits, in both the IR path and
the embedded function text. A member with a trusted string type gets no
reverse mapping and a trusted non-string type keeps the unconditional one,
which is what tsc does.

The runtime transpiler cache keys on source hash and feature flags only, so
an entry written by the old lowering would still serve the bogus reverse
mapping. Bump the cache version so those entries are rejected.

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

The AOT guard (text printer and IR lowering) and the cache version bump in 4b7c1b3 address what I raised on the previous push. Beyond the inline finding, I also checked the IR branch polarity in enums.rs (go_on_if(is_string, false, done) stores the reverse key only on the non-string path, so it matches the parser's typeof ... !== "string" shape) and the bundled/minified printer-inlining path, which the two new itBundled edgecases now cover including the Mixed (Enum1.K1 + Enum1.K2) arm. I did not run the test suite; the AOT and bundler cases were checked by reading only.

Extended reasoning...

The push since the last review adds the same typeof-guarded reverse mapping to both AOT enum lowering sites, bumps RuntimeTranspilerCache EXPECTED_VERSION to 52, and adds bundled, minified, and Mixed-arm tests; the remaining inline finding concerns the AOT checker's typing of members that copy another computed member, which is a narrower AOT-only gap. No security-sensitive surface is touched.

The checker's type is not a run-time fact here: a declare return type is
trusted whatever the JavaScript returns, and a computed member is typed as a
number whatever it holds. Drop the typed fallback so the AOT classifies an
initializer by the same syntactic rule as the transpiler. A branch whose arms
differ is unknown again, so a nullish left side of ?? cannot pass as a number.

I re-reviewed the latest push and found no new bugs; the last commit, which drops the checker-typed fallback so the AOT classifies initializers by the same syntactic rule as the parser, addresses the concern I raised on the previous push. A human look is still worthwhile because this is a deliberate semantics choice (diverging from esbuild, and any-typed computed members whose runtime value is a string now lose their reverse entry) that a maintainer should weigh.

What was reviewed:

  • Both lowering paths side by side: parser (visit_stmt.rs) and AOT (enum_values.rs, enums.rs source-text and IR branches) now produce the same typeof guard for Unknown/Mixed initializers; every match on EnumMemberValue and KnownPrimitive handles the new variants.
  • Checked that a sibling computed member reference (B = A where A = f()) and a cross-file Enum1.K1 both fall to Unknown in the AOT via find_inlined_enum_member returning None, so no stray reverse key there.
  • Cache version bump 51 -> 52 is present. The REPL, cross-module spawn, bundled (plain and minifySyntax), and AOT plain-run tests were read, not run, in this review.
Extended reasoning...

The change guards the TypeScript enum reverse mapping behind a runtime typeof check when the member's value type is statically unknown, in both the JS parser enum lowering and the AOT lowering (source text and IR), bumps the runtime transpiler cache version, and adds tests across REPL, unbundled spawn, bundled, minified, and AOT paths. It touches no security-sensitive surface. The latest commit removed the checker-typed fallback that my prior review flagged as trusting declare return types, and the bug hunt ran dry on this push with no findings. Deferring rather than approving because the fix is a user-visible semantics decision (esbuild divergence, any-typed string members lose reverse entries) spanning two transpiler pipelines, and the new tests were read rather than executed in this review.

The port used || where esbuild's KnownPrimitiveType uses &&, so 1n + v was
classified as a bigint when v was unknown. At run time v can be a string,
and then the sum is a string. With the exact rule the enum lowering guards
that member like every other value of unknown type.
