Walkthrough

Updated mimalloc integration to v3: CMake commit and Windows library names changed; Zig bindings updated to expose v3 thread-local heap APIs, change containment/ownership checks, and refactor MimallocArena to use vtable-based global vs heap allocators with new default semantics.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Build Configuration
cmake/targets/BuildMimalloc.cmake
Updated MIMALLOC_COMMIT hash; changed Windows library names (mimalloc-static-debugmimalloc-debug, mimalloc-staticmimalloc); added -DMI_PRIM_HAS_PROCESS_ATTACH=1 to CMake args; whitespace edits.
Mimalloc v3 Bindings
src/allocators/mimalloc.zig
Added v3 thread-local heap API (THeap, mi_theap_*, mi_heap_theap), added mi_heap_main(), removed legacy default/backing APIs (mi_heap_set_default, mi_heap_get_default, mi_heap_get_backing), replaced containment externs (mi_heap_check_owned/mi_heap_contains_blockmi_check_owned/mi_heap_contains), and updated Heap.isOwned to call mi_heap_contains.
Arena Implementation
src/allocators/MimallocArena.zig
Replaced previous allocator implementation with vtable-based design: introduced heap_allocator_vtable and global_mimalloc_vtable, Default returns global vtable allocator, Borrowed uses heap vtable, removed thread-local heap plumbing and getThreadHeap, updated getDefault/getThreadLocalDefault, isInstance, renamed internal functions and exposed getMimallocHeap.

78-92: Windows library names are incorrect for mimalloc v3.2.7.

The Windows configuration uses mimalloc-debug and mimalloc, but mimalloc v3.2.7's static library on Windows is named mimalloc-static (with debug builds becoming mimalloc-static-debug via DEBUG_POSTFIX). Update the Windows paths to use mimalloc-static-debug for DEBUG builds and mimalloc-static for non-DEBUG builds to match the actual library names produced by mimalloc.

Note: The non-Windows naming (mimalloc-debug/mimalloc) also does not match v3.2.7's output convention (should be libmimalloc-debug.a/libmimalloc.a), though the macOS and Linux non-DEBUG case is currently overridden to use the .o file directly (lines 94-98).

131-138: Stale comment references removed v2 API.

The comment mentions mi_heap_get_default() which no longer exists in mimalloc v3. Consider updating to reflect the current behavior.

Suggested update
-/// Internally, mimalloc calls mi_heap_get_default()
-/// to get the default heap.
-/// It uses pthread_getspecific to do that.
-/// We can save those extra calls if we just do it once in here
+/// Returns an allocator using the thread-local mimalloc heap.
+/// When safety checks are disabled, this uses mi_heap_main().
 pub fn getThreadLocalDefault() std.mem.Allocator {

106-118: Update: Comment at lines 131–132 is now stale and should be revised.

The comment states "Internally, mimalloc calls mi_heap_get_default()," but the code now uses mi_heap_main() (the global/backing heap, not thread-local). Additionally:

  • mi_heap_get_default() (v2) returned the thread-local default heap
  • mi_heap_main() (v3) returns the global main heap

All threads now use the same mi_heap_main() pointer. When safety_checks is true, each thread wraps it in its own DebugHeap; when false (line 111), all threads directly share the same global heap. This is safe because mimalloc handles cross-thread allocations internally, but it's a deliberate departure from per-thread heap isolation.

Update the docstring at line 131 to reflect the actual behavior (using mi_heap_main() instead of mi_heap_get_default()), and consider whether the mimalloc v3 mi_theap_* API would better preserve thread-local heap semantics if allocation locality matters.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Semantic change: heap-specific → global ownership check.

The old mi_heap_check_owned(self.getMimallocHeap(), ptr) checked if ptr belonged to this specific heap, while the new mi_check_owned(ptr) checks if ptr belongs to any mimalloc heap. This changes the method's semantics:

  • Before: "Does this particular heap own the pointer?"
  • After: "Is this pointer from any mimalloc-managed memory?"

If callers rely on distinguishing between different mimalloc heaps (e.g., to verify a pointer came from a specific arena), this change would break that assumption.

Consider using mi_heap_contains(self.getMimallocHeap(), ptr) instead to preserve heap-specific semantics, which is already declared in the bindings.

Proposed fix to preserve heap-specific semantics
     pub fn ownsPtr(self: Borrowed, ptr: *const anyopaque) bool {
-        _ = self;
-        // In mimalloc v3, mi_heap_check_owned was removed.
-        // Use mi_check_owned which checks if ptr is in any mimalloc heap.
-        return mimalloc.mi_check_owned(ptr);
+        // In mimalloc v3, mi_heap_check_owned was replaced with mi_heap_contains

Consider using @compileError for the deprecated Borrowed.getDefault function.

No remaining call sites were found in the codebase. However, returning an undefined heap pointer is still a code quality issue that should be addressed. Since the function is explicitly marked as legacy and unused, enforcing a compile-time error would prevent accidental reintroduction and make the deprecation explicit.

-    // This is a legacy function - prefer using Default.allocator() or getThreadLocalDefault()

isInstance now admits global allocators with undefined ptr, making Borrowed.downcast unsafe.

Borrowed.downcast calls fromOpaque(std_alloc.ptr) to reconstruct a heap object. Global allocators have ptr = undefined, so downcasting them creates a Borrowed with an invalid heap. When operations like getMimallocHeap() are later called, they dereference this undefined pointer, causing UB.

Split the predicate:

+pub fn isHeapInstance(alloc: std.mem.Allocator) bool {
+    return alloc.vtable == &heap_allocator_vtable;
+}
+
 pub fn isInstance(alloc: std.mem.Allocator) bool {
-    return alloc.vtable == &heap_allocator_vtable or alloc.vtable == &global_mimalloc_vtable;
+    return isHeapInstance(alloc) or alloc.vtable == &global_mimalloc_vtable;
 }

Then update downcast to use isHeapInstance:

 pub fn downcast(std_alloc: std.mem.Allocator) Borrowed {
     bun.assertf(
-        isInstance(std_alloc),
+        isHeapInstance(std_alloc),
         "not a MimallocArena (vtable is {*})",
         .{std_alloc.vtable},
     );
     return .fromOpaque(std_alloc.ptr);
 }

The test failures appear to be flaky - the Promise leak test (fetch-leak-test-fixture-5.js) is timing-sensitive and shows slight threshold violations (33-35 vs 25). All individual test files report 0 failures. Retrying to confirm.

- Line 10: The threshold calculation is too permissive (batch * 10) and may mask
real leaks; update the threshold assignment for the variable threshold (which
uses batch) to a more conservative headroom—e.g., change from batch * 10 to
batch * 5 (resulting in 50 for the current batch) so it covers observed spikes
(~33–35) but still catches regressions.

The dual-bound approach is sound given the warmup phase.

The test includes a 5-iteration warmup with GC (lines 109–113) before capturing the baseline, which ensures baselineResponse and baselinePromise are realistic and non-zero. This addresses the concern about batch * 20 (200) dominating when baseline is very low—after warmup, the 3x growth factor becomes the primary detection mechanism, not the floor.

The floor serves as a safety measure for edge cases, which is reasonable. However, monitoring actual baseline values in CI remains a good practice to validate that the 3x threshold is catching leaks effectively in your test environment.

Move test outside regression/issue directory — issue #24364 does not exist on oven-sh/bun.

Per coding guidelines, regression tests belong in test/regression/issue/${issueNumber}.test.ts only when the issue number is a real GitHub issue. Issue #24364 does not exist in the oven-sh/bun repository, so this test should be relocated to test/ or another appropriate subdirectory.

The test logic itself is well-structured: it correctly uses tempDir from the harness, proper process spawning with await using, and correct assertion ordering (stderr/stdout before exitCode). The hardcoded template path is acceptable since it references a confirmed existing template directory. However, the file location violates explicit guidelines and must be corrected.

Combine stdout and stderr when checking for disk cache diagnostics.

Line 146 checks only stderr for the diagnostic output. Regression tests in this codebase (e.g., 12042.test.ts, 14624.test.ts) combine both streams when checking for platform-dependent diagnostic messages. JSC's verboseDiskCache output can route to either stream depending on configuration, so checking both ensures the test is robust.

78-92: Fix Windows library naming: include -static suffix for static builds.

On Windows, mimalloc v3 produces mimalloc-static and mimalloc-static-debug for static library builds (see CMakeLists.txt lines 513-514: the OUTPUT_NAME replaces "mimalloc" with "mimalloc-static"). However, lines 78-82 set MIMALLOC_LIBRARY to mimalloc and mimalloc-debug (without the -static suffix), which won't match the actual library filenames produced.

Update the Windows branch to use:

  • mimalloc-static instead of mimalloc
  • mimalloc-static-debug instead of mimalloc-debug

44-48: Heap-specific ownership check regressed to global.

mi_check_owned only verifies the pointer belongs to any mimalloc heap, which can misclassify pointers when a specific arena is required. Use mi_heap_contains(self.getMimallocHeap(), ptr) to preserve per-heap semantics.

Remove incorrect mi_theap_* extern declarations—these functions do not exist in official mimalloc v3.2.7.

The nine mi_theap_* function declarations (lines 76–84) reference a non-existent thread-local heap API. Official mimalloc v3.2.7 uses only mi_heap_* functions and does not provide mi_theap_* variants. These declarations are dead code and will fail at link time if called. Since MimallocArena.zig explicitly avoids using them in favor of mi_heap_main(), remove these unused externs or replace them with the correct v3.2.7 API.

🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial

Consider preserving per-thread heaps instead of always using mi_heap_main.

mi_heap_main() makes all threads share the main heap, which can increase contention and bypass thread-local heap behavior. If feasible, consider adopting the v3 mi_theap_* API (or mi_heap_theap) for per-thread allocation paths.

Upgrade mimalloc from v2.x to v3.2.7 using Bun's fork with customizations.

Key API changes in mimalloc v3:
- mi_heap_get_default/mi_heap_set_default removed; use global mi_malloc/mi_free
  for thread-local allocations which internally use the theap API
- mi_heap_check_owned replaced with mi_heap_contains
- mi_heap_* functions still work for explicitly created heaps (mi_heap_new)

The MimallocArena now uses two separate vtables:
- heap_allocator_vtable: for owned heaps created with mi_heap_new()
- global_mimalloc_vtable: for default thread-local allocations using
  global mi_malloc/mi_free functions

  • bool mi_heap_contains_block(mi_heap_t *heap, const void *p) — returns true if p (a pointer to a previously allocated block) is in heap. [1]

  • bool mi_heap_check_owned(mi_heap_t *heap, const void *p) — more general/expensive check: returns true if p points anywhere into the given heap (p need not be a previously allocated block). Note: linear in the pages in the heap. [1]

(See the v3 API docs for the Heap Introspection and Heap Allocation groups.) [1][2]

Sources:
[1] mimalloc — Heap Introspection (mi_heap_contains_block, mi_heap_check_owned).
[2] mimalloc — Heap Allocation (mi_heap_* APIs).


mi_heap_contains is not a valid mimalloc v3 API function. Use mi_heap_contains_block() to check if a pointer is a previously allocated block, or mi_heap_check_owned() for a more general check. The extern declaration at line 116 and the isOwned implementation at lines 63-65 both reference a non-existent function that will cause link or runtime failures.

In `@src/allocators/mimalloc.zig` around lines 63 - 65, The code currently calls
the non-existent mimalloc v3 function mi_heap_contains from the Heap.isOwned
implementation and declares it as an extern; replace those references with the
correct API: call mi_heap_contains_block() if you only need to check whether a
pointer is a previously allocated block, or mi_heap_check_owned() for a broader
ownership check, and update the extern declaration accordingly (remove
mi_heap_contains extern and add the proper extern for mi_heap_contains_block or
mi_heap_check_owned used by isOwned).

CI failure appears to be a transient Buildkite caching issue (JSON parsing error in SetupBuildkite.cmake), not related to the code changes. Retrying...

Upgrades to mimalloc v3 via our bun-dev3-v2 fork which carries:
- thread-safety fixes for concurrent mi_heap_delete/mi_free and
  mi_heap_new during another thread's mi_heap_destroy
- 1025th-mi_heap_new uninitialized-chunkmap fix (threadlocal.c)
- pthread_atfork-based fork handling so the child can allocate
- macOS TLS slots 175/176 (avoid Swift runtime keys)
- recursive mi_thread_init self-deadlock fix in _mi_os_get_aligned_hint

Zig binding changes (subset of #26214):
- v3 heaps are first-class; mi_heap_get_default/backing/set_default
  and mi_heap_check_owned/contains_block are gone. Use mi_heap_main
  and mi_heap_contains.
- Split MimallocArena vtable into heap_allocator_vtable (mi_heap_*)
  and global_mimalloc_vtable (mi_malloc/mi_free) so the default
  allocator no longer needs a per-thread heap pointer.
- Borrowed.getDefault wraps mi_heap_main (not undefined) so gc/ownsPtr
  remain valid; downcast only accepts the owned-heap vtable.
- mi_heap_area_t gains reserved1.

Build: MI_NO_OPT_ARCH=ON; Windows lib name lost the -static suffix.

Upgrades mimalloc to v3 via
[`oven-sh/mimalloc@bun-dev3-v2`](https://github.com/oven-sh/mimalloc/tree/bun-dev3-v2)
(2e94216f), which carries on top of upstream dev3:

- Thread-safety fixes for `mi_heap_delete` racing concurrent `mi_free`,
and `mi_heap_new` while another thread is in `mi_heap_destroy` (both
reproduce as assertion failures / ASAN UAF under load)
- Fix for the 1025th `mi_heap_new()` walking an uninitialized chunkmap →
OOB write
- `pthread_atfork`-based fork handling so children of multi-threaded
parents can allocate
- macOS fixed TLS slots moved 108/109→175/176 (avoid Swift runtime keys)
- Recursive `mi_thread_init` self-deadlock fix in
`_mi_os_get_aligned_hint`

Zig changes are a tighter subset of oven-sh#26214:

- v1/v2 APIs removed from bindings: `mi_heap_{get,set}_default`,
`mi_heap_get_backing`, `mi_heap_check_owned`, `mi_heap_contains_block`.
Added `mi_heap_main`, `mi_heap_contains`.
- `MimallocArena` vtable split into `heap_allocator_vtable`
(per-`mi_heap_new` arena) + `global_mimalloc_vtable`
(`mi_malloc`/`mi_free` directly). `Default`/`getThreadLocalDefault`
route through global; no more cached per-thread heap pointer.
- Differs from oven-sh#26214: `Borrowed.getDefault()` wraps `mi_heap_main()`
(not `undefined`) so `gc()`/`ownsPtr()` stay valid; `ownsPtr` uses
per-heap `mi_heap_contains` (not `mi_check_owned`); `downcast` only
accepts owned-heap vtable.

Build: `MI_NO_OPT_ARCH=ON`, Windows lib name dropped `-static` suffix.
