Problem

• bun build --react-compiler reads the method of a.b(args) behind statements moved out of the arguments. copy.who((() => { copy.who = other; return ""; })()) compiles to copy.who = other; t1 = copy.who(""); and calls other.
• Codegen prints the property of a MethodCall inside the call (src/react_compiler/codegen.rs:1942), so no pass names it. Upstream 1.0.0 does the same, and react-compiler: keep operands in source order around a statement inside their expression #42859 (1.4.3) added forms.

Fix

• If a statement between the load and the call can mutate the receiver's mutable range, the pass names the method and the receiver. Codegen prints Function.prototype.call.call(method, receiver, ...args).
• Otherwise the member call stays, and a computed key (fns[state.i](state.i++)) gets a name.
• Verified: test/bundler/transpiler/react-compiler.test.ts (5 of 6 new tests fail on main), bun-test.test.ts, an --aot program.
• Self-reviewed: 66 concerns raised, 54 addressed, 12 rejected (Notes).

Background

• Codegen prints an instruction with no named result inside its use.
• The compiler gives one mutable range to values that it mutates together.
• Weighed: keeping the IIFE, no compilation, method.call(receiver) (a proxy answers call), Reflect.apply (267 instructions a call).

Downsides

• A flagged call costs 14 instructions against 5 (--aot: 255 against 13) and spreads 319,279 elements against 638,560. None of 10,826 real outputs has one.
• Flagged without need: any mutation in the receiver's mutable range (acc.parts.push(fmt(x) + acc.n++)), any mutation for --target=bun, and a call in a switch case.
• A key with an effect runs in every render, as in the source. Still wrong (todo test): a nested function, a module-level or null prop receiver, a replaced builtin method, an array pattern, a getter or toString with a side effect.

Notes

Where it came from, and who reaches it

• A row of the table of react-compiler: lower (a?.b)() as a method call on a #48198 found it: an argument that replaces the method. No issue reports it, here or upstream. The build exits 0 and prints no warning.
• The walk out of the block of the call answers review notes on this PR, not a report.
• Real code does not have the shape. Of 3,478 upstream fixture outputs and 7,348 shadcn/ui outputs (42f3bb6), for the targets browser and bun, no call is flagged and every output is the same as on main.
• babel-plugin-react-compiler 1.0.0 is wrong in 36 of the 52 functions of the new table, and main in 50. The 14 more have an argument in front of an element, as in o.who(replace(o), <i>{p.n}</i>): react-compiler: keep operands in source order around a statement inside their expression #42859 names that argument ahead of the memo block of the element.

Where the statements come from

Lowering emits the load of the method, then the arguments, then the call. Four things put a statement between the load and the call:

• the body of an inlined IIFE or of a useMemo callback (a labeled block when it has two returns).
• a dependency of a memo block of an argument: o.who(<i>{count(o) + 1}</i>) prints const t2 = count(o) + 1; first.
• an earlier argument that react-compiler: keep operands in source order around a statement inside their expression #42859 names ahead of a later statement or memo block.
• a postfix update of a member: o.who(replace(o), state.i++).

The rule

The walk goes back from the call to the load of the method (promote_late_method). It starts when a statement that writes, or that runs an iterator, stands behind the load. It also starts when the load itself writes (its key is a call or an update) and a memo block starts behind it. That key gets a name ahead of the block and runs in every render, as in the source. Main runs it only when the block runs (KeyWithAnEffectAheadOfAMemoBlock).

• A temporary that prints inside the call is not a statement. It runs behind the read in the source too.
• A statement counts when its record of effects (ReactiveInstruction.effects) has a mutation of a value in the mutable range of the receiver. InferReactiveScopeVariables gives one range to the values that are mutated together.
• Without memo blocks (--target=bun) no two values share a range. There every mutation counts.
• The last instruction of a value block (the test of a ternary) has no record. If it can write, its operands count as mutated.
• Two facts end the question without the statements (can_method_change). A receiver that nothing mutates after it is made keeps its methods. A property that has the signature of a builtin method keeps its member call: the inference takes it for that method already.
• A flagged call names the receiver too: const t2 = copy; const t3 = t2.who; copy.who = other; t1 = Function.prototype.call.call(t3, t2, "");.
• A pruned scope prints its statements in the block around it, so the walk goes into a pruned scope that stands ahead of the call.
• The load can stand ahead of the block that holds the call. Each block hands the statements ahead of it to the blocks that it holds, and the walk goes on into them. There are three such blocks:
  • A scope (memo block or pruned scope). The call is a member of no scope: its result is a primitive and no argument is mutable. It stands in the scope of a value that a later argument makes, as in o.who(<statement>, (last = [], "")) + ";"; last.push(1);.
  • A labeled block. An early return behind the call puts the statements of the memo block in one.
  • A block of a switch, an if, a loop or a try. An inlined function with its one return in a case puts the call, and all behind it, in that case. The other blocks of that terminal can run first, so the whole terminal counts as a statement between, the call too. Such a call prints with the receiver given whenever its method can change (MethodAheadOfASwitchWithNothingBetween).
• What the walk out of a block reaches:
  • Ahead of a pruned scope: any receiver and any key.
  • Ahead of a memo block, the method: only when the scope of the receiver is pruned or still open around the scope of the call. When the memo block of the receiver ends ahead of the call, the function stays as written (MethodInAMemoBlockAheadOfTheCall).
  • Ahead of a memo block, the key: only when the receiver and the key are not reactive. A reactive key is a dependency of the block and has a name, and that function stays as written.
• A name that the pass gives ahead of a memo block does not change when that block runs. The dependencies of the block stay as they are.
• When the walk finds no load, nothing changes. That is a call in a value block, which prints in place. A debug build asserts it.

The effect on a place (Place.effect) is not a usable sign of a mutation. It is last-write-wins for each instruction.

The global Function

• Codegen asks once for each function that has a flagged call. The identifiers of the function say what it binds. The parser says what is around it, with a lookup that records no use (Host::is_unbound_global).
• A function that binds the name Function anywhere, also in a callback that the call cannot see, stays as it is written. So does a function with another Function around it. bun test --react-compiler prints names as written, so the check decides the result there. The wide check cannot miss a kind of binding.
• In TypeScript, a type annotation, an interface Function and import type { Function } bind nothing. An import that only types use is still a binding for the parser at that point: the function stays as written, and the import stays unused.

Why not method.call(receiver, ...) or Reflect.apply

Instructions for each call (perf_event_open, slope between two loop lengths), and the longest spread that the call takes under Bun:

spelling	JIT on	JIT off	longest spread
o.m(x)	4.75	535	638,560
t.call(o, x)	5.25	612	638,558
Function.prototype.call.call(t, o, x)	14.0	1,116	319,279
Reflect.apply(t, o, [x])	267.4	1,766	638,558

• t.call reads call of the method. A proxy that answers every read returns something else, a method with its own call runs that, and an undefined method throws before the arguments run.
• Function.prototype.call.call and Reflect.apply read nothing of the method. The tests hold a proxy, an own call and a missing method.
• Under V8 (node 26) every spelling, the member call too, takes a spread of about 125,440 elements. Under Bun a flagged call that spreads more than 319,279 elements throws a RangeError, where the member call took 638,560.
• A method that is not callable throws TypeError: undefined is not a function. The member call says o.missing is not a function. (In 'o.missing("")', 'o.missing' is undefined).
• The call reads the global Function when it runs. A program that sets globalThis.Function to undefined, or that replaces Function.prototype.call, changes a flagged call. Every spelling that passes the receiver reads something that a program can replace.
• bun build --compile --aot does not see through the spelling. One run of a function with one flagged call costs 255 instructions there, against 13 for the member call.

Measurements (linux x64, release builds of main 2596ac5 and of fbcbc9c. The head adds a debug assertion, comments and tests to that commit.)

• Outputs that differ from main: 0 of 3,478 fixture outputs and 0 of 7,348 shadcn/ui outputs.
• Functions that walk (gdb breakpoint counts): 1 of 716 (fixtures, browser), 26 of 6,745 (shadcn/ui, browser), 0 of 733 and 0 of 6,469 for the target bun. Flagged calls: 0.
• Compile, worst case: a file of components that all walk, out.push(<i key={String(a)} n={Math.max(a, b)} />). Each one adds 3,126 instructions (+0.056%). For the target bun nothing walks, and each adds 1,480 (+0.028%). Minimum of 7 pinned runs, slope from 1,000 to 2,000 components. One run in seven is up to 1.9 million instructions higher, which is 940 for each component.
• Compile of one flagged call with 200 arguments: +214,378 instructions (+0.22%, median of 7 runs), about 1,000 for each argument.
• mimalloc calls: +1 for each walk (778,859 to 779,166 for 300 components), +0 without one (595,138 both), +25 for a function with one flagged call.
• Release .text: +6,144 bytes (108,257,833 to 108,263,977).
• Emitted: +72 bytes for a flagged call on a local, +53 when the receiver has a name already.
• perf, valgrind and bloaty are not on this machine. The counts come from perf_event_open, gdb and size -A.

Tests

• A table of 5 callee shapes by 8 statement producers, and of 2 kinds of key by 2 receivers by 3 producers: 52 functions. Functions that differ from the plain build on main: 50 (browser), 29 (bun), 32 (browser with --minify-syntax), 10 (bun with --minify-syntax). Here: 0.
• 44 forms by hand for what the table does not make: a getter, a read that throws, a null receiver, a proxy, an own call, a missing method, an iterator, a spread, a hook that prunes a scope, a call in the scope of another value (13 forms), a call behind an early return or in a case of a switch (6 forms), and the calls that must stay member calls. Main differs in 27, 23, 13 and 5 of them.
• The browser and the bun variant assert the printed call of each form that has its load ahead of the block of the call: 10 print Function.prototype.call.call, and 8 keep a member call with a named key (browser). The browser variant also asserts that the read of the method, or of the key, stands ahead of the memo block of the call.
• Each clause of the rule was taken out once in a scratch build. Each time a row failed: the pruned scope (KeyInAScopeThatAHookPrunes), the temporaries inside the call (LaterArgumentBehind*), the signature (PushOfAnObjectWithACallInALogical, PushBehindAMemberUpdate), the receiver that nothing mutates (MethodOfAPropBehindAStatement for bun), the iterator (DependencyThatIteratesTheReceiver), the value block (DependencyWithACallInATest), the key (KeyOfAMethodOfAProp), the statements ahead of a scope (six *AheadOfA* forms, of which MethodAheadOfAMemoBlock and KeyAheadOfAMemoBlock hold the memo block alone), the labeled block (MethodAheadOfAMemoBlockWithAnEarlyReturn), the block of a terminal (MethodAheadOfASwitchThatHoldsTheCall), the other blocks of that terminal (MethodAheadOfASwitchWithACaseThatFallsThrough), and both halves of the Function check. MethodAheadOfTwoMemoBlocks, MethodAheadOfTwoScopesThatALoopPrunes and the two early-return forms need more than one step out. With --minify-syntax, MethodBehindALoopAheadOfAScopeThatAHookPrunes holds the step out of a pruned scope.
• Four generated grids hold 6,127 components: receiver by key by statement by later argument by result by block around the call, with early returns and switch statements. Each prints the result of the plain build for both targets. Before the walk went out of the block of the call, 1,065 of them differed for the target browser and 696 for the target bun.
• A function that is left as it is written prints the right result too. So the browser and the bun variant assert that each call whose method a statement replaces prints Function.prototype.call.call: 40 functions for browser, 25 for bun.
• The three functions that the browser variant lists as not compiled have the load of the method in a memo block and the call behind it. That is the shape of [Compiler Bug]: "Internal error: MethodCall::property must be an unpromoted..." on specific Math.floor, Math.ceil usages react/react#34072. Main and upstream 1.0.0 leave them as written too.
• The --aot program (test/aot/parallel/a-method-that-the-react-compiler-reads-early-is-called-with-its-receiver/) prints 4 of its 5 lines wrong on main.

Suites run on a debug build

• test/bundler/transpiler/react-compiler.test.ts: 151 pass, 1 skip, 3 todo.
• react-compiler-fixtures.test.ts (3,293 pass) and react-compiler-fixtures-run.test.ts (849 pass). They build for the browser only and have no member call behind a statement, so they show that nothing else changed.
• test/cli/lint/react-compiler.test.ts: 26 pass. The --react-compiler block of test/cli/test/bun-test.test.ts: 32 pass. Under --aot the new test of that block is in test/aot/runner-suites.known.txt with the others: the text of a function is the text as written there.
• test/aot/react-compiler.test.ts, pure-components at the three minify settings, with a spread form added to MethodCalls.tsx.
• test/internal/source-lints: 195 pass.

Not fixed here (the todo test MethodIsStillReadBehindAStatement holds the first seven, and four forms that run code of the receiver)

• A member call in a function inside the component: () => fns[state.i](state.i++). The pass does not run there. react-compiler: print a member update and a compound member assignment as written #42451 takes that statement away.
• props.f(<statement>) runs with no this (react-compiler: print (0, a.b)() for a value callee and keep a reference callee in place #48172).
• A method of a module-level object. The pass treats a load from it as a constant.
• A builtin method that a statement replaces on one instance (items.join = f in the argument), for the target bun. With memo blocks that function is not compiled.
• A getter that reads what no value of the function holds, with memo blocks.
• Code of the receiver that runs where the inference records no mutation of it, and that replaces the method: the iterator in an array pattern (const [x] = o), a getter, toString in String(o), and a proxy trap such as ownKeys in the head of for (const key in o). The walk starts for these, and finds no mutation on record. react-compiler: infer the mutation of an iterator, a RegExp literal and a tag result #48211 (open) infers the mutation of an iterator. A spread, a for...of and Array.from over the receiver print the result of the plain build today.
• A spread argument is iterated at the call, behind a statement of a later argument.
• A key that is an object, on a receiver that nothing mutates: p.fns[key](key.i++) with a toString that reads key.i. The key has a name already, and its conversion to a property key runs at the call.
• A receiver that nothing mutates and that is null, or whose getter throws: p.none.who(note(), state.i++). The method is read at the call, so note runs ahead of the TypeError. The plain build throws first.
• A property that a memo block declares ([Compiler Bug]: "Internal error: MethodCall::property must be an unpromoted..." on specific Math.floor, Math.ceil usages react/react#34072) keeps the invariant and stays as written. Codegen sends only a property that this pass named to the new call.
• Flags that are not needed, for every target: the mutable range is wider than the receiver. acc.parts.push(fmt(x) + acc.n++) is flagged because acc.n++ mutates acc, and o.who(p.name.trim().toLowerCase(), <i>{p.n}</i>) because the call mutates its arguments together with the receiver. The output is right. react-compiler: print a member update and a compound member assignment as written #42451 takes the first of the two away: it leaves no statement behind the load. A call in a block of a switch, an if, a loop or a try, with its load ahead of that terminal, is flagged whenever its method can change: the whole terminal counts, the call too.
• Seen while writing the tests, and not touched here: state.i++ ? a : b as an argument prints (state.i = state.i + 1) ? a : b on main. A module-level const NaN = 5 captures the NaN that the compiler prints for 0 / 0.

• No explicit_receiver_calls set, so that every named property prints the new call (the [Compiler Bug]: "Internal error: MethodCall::property must be an unpromoted..." on specific Math.floor, Math.ceil usages react/react#34072 shape): the receiver of that shape has no name (Math), and two upstream error.* fixtures expect its error.

• NaN and Infinity through a checked lookup: a different bug on main, with its own tests.
• A list of the statements in print order in InterState, so that the gate and the walk share one notion of between: a prototype of it in the review agreed with the walk on every form, and it cost about a quarter of a walk for every function.

• Flagging the call when the walk finds no load: that sends the [Compiler Bug]: "Internal error: MethodCall::property must be an unpromoted..." on specific Math.floor, Math.ceil usages react/react#34072 shape to the flagged call. A debug assertion guards the line in its place.
• Counting only what runs ahead of the call in a terminal: it needs an argument for each kind of terminal (a case that falls through, a loop, a try ahead of its handler).
• A generated axis of blocks in the committed table: the rows by hand hold each step of the walk, and each was checked against a build without that step.
• A rule for an instruction with no record of its effects: it fixed no form that a row could hold.

Walkthrough

The React Compiler now tracks method reads affected by intervening statements, mutations, and iterator evaluation. When needed, code generation emits a call that preserves the receiver, provided global Function is unbound. New tests cover these cases, and the runtime transpiler cache format version changes to 52.

Changes

React Compiler method-call evaluation order

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Track late method reads src/react_compiler/hir/environment.rs, src/react_compiler/reactive_scopes/promote_used_temporaries.rs	The analysis tracks iterator effects and preceding statements. It detects mutations that affect a method receiver, then marks calls that need an explicit receiver.
Emit receiver-preserving calls src/react_compiler/program.rs, src/js_parser/react_compiler_host.rs, src/react_compiler/observer.rs, src/react_compiler/codegen.rs	The Host interface and implementations report whether a global is unbound. Code generation checks whether global Function is unbound and emits marked calls through Function.prototype.call.call.
Regression coverage and cache version src/jsc/RuntimeTranspilerCache.rs, test/aot/parallel/..., test/aot/react-compiler/same-as-bundle/pure-components/*, test/aot/runner-suites.known.txt, test/bundler/transpiler/react-compiler.test.ts, test/cli/test/bun-test.test.ts	Tests cover method reads separated from calls by statements, argument evaluation, spread iteration, and computed-key changes. The runtime transpiler cache format version changes from 51 to 52.

Status: open, and ready for a maintainer review. CI on 24e62cd (build 139631) has no failed job: 184 of 188 jobs passed, and four macOS x64 test jobs wait for an agent. The tests that this run retried are not React Compiler tests.

How it was reproduced

• On main 2596ac5, a component with copy.who((() => { copy.who = other; return ""; })()) compiles to copy.who = other; t1 = copy.who(""); under bun build --react-compiler. It calls other. The plain build calls the method that copy.who had first.
• The new table in test/bundler/transpiler/react-compiler.test.ts has 96 such functions. On main, 77 of them print another result than the plain build for the browser target, and 52 for the bun target. On this branch none does.
• Run it with bun bd test test/bundler/transpiler/react-compiler.test.ts -t MethodIsReadAheadOfAStatementThatCanChangeIt.

PR: #48310

[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 Host::is_unbound_global default of false in src/react_compiler/program.rs: the only host that keeps it is LintHost (src/lint/react_compiler/host.rs), and lint_function in src/react_compiler/lint.rs stops after the reactive-scope passes without running codegen, so the default never drops a compiled function; the bundler host overrides it and RecordingHost delegates. The new local Effect::Iterate in promote_used_temporaries.rs is handled at every match on that enum. The test-suite checks (fails under USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1, per-file time budget for the 738-line matrix test) were not run in this review.

Extended reasoning...

The change touches the Rust React Compiler port (promote_used_temporaries, codegen, environment, Host trait) plus bundler, bun test and AOT tests; it touches no security-sensitive surface. Two confirmed findings are posted inline, so this is not an approval; the body only records what else was examined and ruled out.

The computed-load fallback names operands, but naming an object-valued key does not perform or preserve its ToPropertyKey conversion. A conversion that observes mutable state may still occur after the intervening statement.

The generated member lookup may select key 1 instead of the original key 0.

This can occur when: Code calls fns[selector](selector.i++), where selector.toString returns String(this.i) and fns contains distinct functions at keys 0 and 1.

1172 - 1174:
Update the computed-load fallback around `each_instruction_value_operand` and
`promote_interposed_operands` so it preserves the key’s ToPropertyKey conversion
before any intervening statement can mutate observable state. Ensure the
generated member lookup uses that converted key, not a later conversion of the
original object-valued key.

We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Mutations::visit_instruction relies exclusively on recorded aliasing effects for ordinary instructions. Unlike its visit_value fallback, it does not recognize array-spread iteration directly, so a named spread-array statement may escape mutation detection when its metadata contains no mutation effect.

The scan may leave the method inline and invoke the replacement instead of the method read before iteration.

This can occur when: On the memoizing target, a call like o.who([...o], state.n++) hoists the spread array, and o's iterator replaces o.who while the state update affects an unrelated mutable range.

The mutation scan explicitly ignores MutateGlobal and Impure effects. A getter that returns a method based on module state can therefore be read after an intervening call changes that state, despite the receiver object itself remaining unchanged.

The compiled call may use the getter's later version rather than the method selected by source evaluation order.

This can occur when: The supplied GetterReadsModuleState case evaluates bump() before the delayed read of a version-dependent who getter.

Each candidate call rescans its preceding statements to locate the method load. Nested method calls around one hoisted mutation can repeatedly traverse overlapping prefixes, giving quadratic analysis work.

React Compiler analysis may exhibit disproportionate build latency as the expression grows.

This can occur when: A generated component contains a long nesting of o.who calls around an inlined argument that mutates o.who, with n method loads preceding the mutation and their calls following it.

Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Iterator effects are introduced for spread ArrayExpressions, but call-argument spreads still retain their iteration at the eventual call. Naming the iterable does not preserve its contents before later argument statements mutate it.

The compiled call may receive x and y instead of only x.

This can occur when: The supplied SpreadIsIteratedBehindAStatement case calls o.who(...list, (() => { list.push('y'); return ''; })()) with list initially containing only x.

- Around line 2356-2364: Update the member-call codegen path that builds
call_args and target so emitted calls preserve the original member-call behavior
without reading the mutable global Function. Keep receiver binding and argument
evaluation semantics intact, and use an approach that works when
globalThis.Function is undefined.
- Around line 2357-2361: Update the explicit-receiver rewrite in the
call-generation path around `call_args` so flagged calls with large spread
arguments retain the successful direct member-call behavior instead of adding
the builtin forwarding argument frame. Use the existing spread-size or
call-rewrite safeguards to determine when to bypass the rewrite, preserving the
current rewrite for other calls.

Review comments at
@src/react_compiler/reactive_scopes/promote_used_temporaries.rs:
- Around line 993-994: Update the inline-temporary gate around inline_temporary
and the inter_state conflict checks so replacing a method argument cannot leave
a later method read that invokes the replacement instead of the original. Handle
module-level receivers explicitly, or preserve the original function when the
ordering cannot be guaranteed; retain the existing conflict and iteration
protections.
- Line 1160: Update the method-call handling around `can_method_change` so the
receiver’s method read is preserved before argument statements even when
`is_mutated` is false. Ensure an undefined receiver throws before any argument
side effects run, while retaining the existing mutation checks.
- Around line 989-992: Extend the ordering analysis around
promote_interposed_value and the InstructionValue::MethodCall handling to
inspect nested function bodies before codegen. Ensure computed method-call
properties are read before argument side effects, so a callback such as
fns[state.i](state.i++) selects the function using the original state.i value.
- Around line 1183-1185: Update the early-read condition around
env.get_function_signature(type_) so a non-hook builtin signature does not
suppress preserving an array method read when an argument can replace that
method. Keep the existing hook-signature behavior while ensuring the compiled
call uses the original method.

Review comments at @test/bundler/transpiler/react-compiler.test.ts:
- Around line 4464-4470: Update the Bun matrix assertions in this test to verify
that every case intended to use the explicit-receiver helper contains
Function.prototype.call.call in its generated output. Keep the existing
member-call assertions for cases that intentionally retain those calls.

`each_instruction_value_operand` and `promote_interposed_operands` so it

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

• 🟣 src/react_compiler/reactive_scopes/promote_used_temporaries.rs — pre-existing: a member call that lands inside a pruned scope still reads its method or key behind a statement that changes it when the load sits in the enclosing block. promote_interposed_block (promote_used_temporaries.rs:743-750) recurses into a PrunedScope with only that scope's own instructions, so before at :722 omits every statement ahead of the scope and Behind::walk never reaches the load; promote_late_method then returns at let Some(load) = load else and promotes nothing. Fix: let the backward walk for a call inside a pruned scope continue into the enclosing block's statements ahead of that scope (hand the outer prefix down with the recursion), since a pruned scope prints inline and the walk already descends into one from outside (:1232-1236). I did not run this.

  Why this was flagged

  Trigger: bun build --react-compiler for the browser target, a component with p.api[key](build(), key = "alt") whose result is unused, where build() is an inlined IIFE that creates and mutates a local such as const log = []; log.push(1); return log;. The scope of log starts at its creation, after t = p.api[key] is lowered, and extends through the call that receives log; with no escaping output PruneNonEscapingScopes makes it a PrunedScope that holds the call but not the load. promote_interposed_block at src/react_compiler/reactive_scopes/promote_used_temporaries.rs:743-750 passes &scope.instructions as the block, so the before slice built at :722 holds only the pruned scope's statements. promote_late_method at :1140 walks them (:1215-1250), finds no instruction whose lvalue is the property, and returns at :1153 without promoting the key or the method. Codegen then prints p.api[key](...) after key = "alt" has run, calling alt instead of who; this is what the base branch prints too, so it is a case the fix leaves as the base has it.

  Verification: pre-existing (the base branch emits the same wrong order on this path). In src/react_compiler/reactive_scopes/promote_used_temporaries.rs, promote_interposed_block passes &block[..index] as before (line 722) and, for ReactiveStatement::PrunedScope(scope), recurses with only &scope.instructions (lines 742-750). promote_late_method then returns at let Some(load) = load else { return; } (lines 1157-1159).

[robobun]

The finding about a call in a pruned scope holds, with another trigger than the one given.

p.api[key](build(), key = "alt") prints the plain result at 158241c. The call takes log, so InferReactiveScopeVariables puts the load of the method in the scope of log (src/react_compiler/inference/infer_reactive_scope_variables.rs:363). The load and the call are then in one block.

The load stands ahead of the scope when the call is a member of no scope. Its result is a primitive, no argument is mutable, and a later argument makes the value that has the scope:

for (const suffix of ["1", "2"]) {
  const o = make(p.name + suffix);
  let last;
  const result = o.who((() => { o.who = other; return <i>{o}</i>; })(), (last = [suffix], "")) + ";";
  last.push(result);
  out += result + last.length;
}

At 158241c this printed o.who = other; and then o.who(...). A memo block around the call had the same gap.

c615ee0 hands the statements ahead of a scope to the walk, for a pruned scope and for a memo block. Seven forms in test/bundler/transpiler/react-compiler.test.ts hold it (MethodAheadOfAScopeThatALoopPrunes and the forms next to it). Six of them fail at 158241c. The seventh stays as written, because a memo block holds the load of its method.

Three generated grids of 4,551 components print the result of the plain build for both targets. At 158241c, 444 of them differed for the target browser.

Beyond the inline finding, I also checked a method called behind a for-of loop over its receiver: it is still read after the loop, but that matches the base branch and is not introduced here. I also confirmed the default Host::is_unbound_global returns false, so a host without the override (e.g. the lint host, which never reaches codegen) leaves a flagged function as written rather than emitting Function.prototype.call.call. I did not run the test suite or the clause-deletion check, so the claim that each new test fails on main rests on reading only.

Extended reasoning...

The change adds a backwards walk in promote_used_temporaries.rs and a new codegen spelling for flagged method calls, bumps the transpiler cache version, and adds a host lookup for the global Function; it touches no auth, crypto or input-parsing surface. One confirmed pre-existing-shape finding is posted inline, and the for-of-over-receiver case was ruled out as unchanged from the base branch.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

• 🟣 src/react_compiler/reactive_scopes/promote_used_temporaries.rs — pre-existing: a method call inside a memo block that has an early return still reads its method behind a statement that replaced it, as on the base branch. promote_interposed_terminal passes no Before for a ReactiveTerminal::Label body (src/react_compiler/reactive_scopes/promote_used_temporaries.rs:1481), so promote_late_method cannot walk back past the label to the load and leaves the call as written. PropagateEarlyReturns wraps every instruction of such a scope in a Label, which prints in sequence like the scope itself. Fix: thread the enclosing Before chain through label bodies the same way Scope and PrunedScope do at :757-770, so the walk reaches a load that stands ahead of the label.

  Why this was flagged

  A component has the shape the PR's MethodAheadOfAMemoBlock form tests (test/bundler/transpiler/react-compiler.test.ts:4424-4431): the load of o.who stands in the block ahead of the memo block that holds the call, and the call's IIFE argument replaces o.who. If that memo block also contains an early return, PropagateEarlyReturns moves all of the scope's instructions into a ReactiveTerminal::Label block before PromoteUsedTemporaries runs. promote_interposed_terminal handles that label at promote_used_temporaries.rs:1480-1482 by calling promote_interposed_block, which builds a Before with outer: None. promote_late_method (:1177-1181) therefore walks only the label body, never the statements ahead of it, finds no load, and returns without naming the method. Codegen then prints the member call with the property inline, after the hoisted statement, exactly as the base branch does. No safeguard covers it: the Scope and PrunedScope arms (:757-770) pass Some(&before), the Label arm does not.

  Verification: pre-existing (the base branch already calls the replaced method on this path; the PR does not reach this one). Trigger: the MethodAheadOfAMemoBlock shape with an early return in the memo block. promote_used_temporaries.rs:1480-1482: the ReactiveTerminal::Label arm calls promote_interposed_block, which at :712-721 passes outer: None, so load is None and promote_late_method returns without promoting the property.

[robobun]

The finding about an early return holds. I reproduced it at c615ee0 with the MethodAheadOfAMemoBlock form and if (p.n > 100) return null; behind the call. The memo block printed bb0: { result = o.who(t1, (last = [], "")) + ";"; ... } behind o.who = other;.

fbcbc9c hands the statements ahead of a labeled block to that block, as for a scope.

The block of any other terminal had the same gap. An inlined function with its one return in a case of a switch puts the call, and all behind it, in that case:

o.who((() => { switch (p.n) { case 2: o.who = other; default: return ""; } })())

That form was wrong for --target=bun too. Now every block hands the statements ahead of it to the blocks that it holds. For a block of a switch, an if, a loop or a try, the whole terminal counts as a statement between the load and the call, because another block of it can run first.

Five new forms in test/bundler/transpiler/react-compiler.test.ts hold this: MethodAheadOfAMemoBlockWithAnEarlyReturn, KeyAheadOfAMemoBlockWithAnEarlyReturn, and three *AheadOfASwitch* forms. All five fail at c615ee0.

A grid of 1,576 generated components with early returns and switch statements prints the result of the plain build for both targets. At c615ee0, 584 of them differed for the target browser and 696 for the target bun.
