I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it touches native C++ across three JSC-binding sites (stack-frame position fix-up, source-line preview, REPL source decoding) with string-width subtleties, a human look would still be worthwhile.
What was reviewed
Bun::toStringView→toZigString(StringView)handles 16-bit viataggedUTF16Ptr, so the newly-reachable 16-bitsource_lines[]path is well-formed; the existingprovider->ref()still owns the backing storage.Bun::toString(const char*, size_t)→BunString__fromBytes→fromUTF8ReplacingInvalidSequencesfor the U+FFFD substitution; thesourceLen > 0guard covers theASSERT(length > 0)inBunString__fromBytes.transferToWTFString()on theWTFStringImpltag balances the leaked +1 fromBunString__fromBytes(ref+deref), so no leak/UAF on the REPL source string.- Both new tests assert the specific pre-fix failure modes (missing excerpt /
1:1frame;.loaddefining nothing) and would fail on main.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
The PR removes 8-bit-only assumptions from three readers of module source text in the JSC C++ bindings:
src/jsc/bindings/ErrorStackFrame.cppadjustPositionBackwards: deletes the!source.is8Bit()early-return that reset the frame to 1:1. The remaining code already indexes viasource[i](StringView::operator[]), which is width-agnostic; JSC divot/column offsets are code units in either width, so the arithmetic is unchanged.src/jsc/bindings/ZigException.cpppopulateStackFramePosition: drops thesourceString.is8Bit()gate on the source-preview block and replaces the rawspan8().data()byte pointer withsourceString[offset]. The variable rename (byte→code-unit) is cosmetic. TheBun::toStringView(sourceString.substring(...))calls andprovider->ref()lifetime handling are untouched.src/jsc/bindings/bindings.cppBun__REPL__evaluate: swapsWTF::String::fromUTF8(returns null on ill-formed input) forBun::toString(bytes, len).transferToWTFString(), which routes throughBunString__fromBytes→fromUTF8ReplacingInvalidSequences.
Two new tests: a compiled fixture with a non-ASCII preserved comment and a multi-line new (class …) (covers both the preview and the position fix-up), and a REPL .load of a file with a stray 0xE9 in a preserved comment.
Security risks
None identified. The changes widen accepted inputs on already-trusted code paths (module source held by JSC, transpiled REPL program). No new user-controlled length arithmetic or allocation; indexing is bounded by sourceString.length() as before.
Level of scrutiny
Moderate-to-high. This is native C++ in the JSC bindings — the review guide's most-blocked category — and involves string-width representation (Latin-1 vs UTF-16). I verified: toZigString(StringView) tags 16-bit pointers so the Rust consumer sees the width; the compile test's toInclude("| /*! © café 中 */") assertion proves the full 16-bit print path decodes correctly; transferToWTFString() balances the ref left by BunString__fromBytes (constructs WTF::String(impl) = +1, then deref() = -1); and the sourceLen > 0 guard covers the ASSERT(length > 0) inside BunString__fromBytes.
Other factors
The PR description is unusually thorough (mechanism, before/after, verification against main, related suites run). The changes are mechanical — deleting a wrong guard and swapping to width-agnostic accessors — with no lifetime or ownership changes. I'm deferring rather than approving only because native JSC binding changes across three files with encoding subtleties are the kind a maintainer familiar with the Rust-side ZigString/BunString consumers should confirm end-to-end.

Read the whole of populateStackFramePosition and adjustPositionBackwards against a 16-bit source, traced every offset back to JSC (all code units: divot, startOffset, lineColumn), checked operator[] bounds at each use, the toStringView-into-provider lifetime (provider is ref'd, Rust reads the tagged UTF-16 pointer), and the REPL decoder (BunString__fromBytes, transferToWTFString net one ref, empty and Dead cases same as before). Both fixtures reproduce on a main build for the stated reason: .load defines nothing, and the compile fixture hits the ErrorStackFrame assert. No remaining is8Bit/span8 gate on module text in ZigException.cpp, ErrorStackFrame.cpp, ErrorStackTrace.cpp or NodeVM.cpp. Fine to land from my side.
Two body nits: bun build --target=bun output is not 16-bit on main (the // @Bun arms load it as Latin-1 until #38714), only --compile and anything through clone_utf8 are; and the context-line skip in the preview that the test avoids asserting is described as tracked separately with no link, worth adding one.

LGTM — three focused fixes that lift 8-bit-only assumptions from code paths that already index via width-agnostic StringView.
What was reviewed:
adjustPositionBackwardsand the source-preview loop already usedsource[i]/sourceString.substring(); only the redundantis8Bit()gates and the rawspan8()pointer read are removed. VerifiedBun::toStringView→toEncodedSlice(StringView)tags 16-bit views (taggedUTF16Ptr), so the Rust consumer already handles both widths.Zig::convertUTF8ToStringwrapsfromUTF8ReplacingInvalidSequences(U+FFFD substitution) and is the same helper the module loader /BunStringpath uses; thesourceLen > 0guard preserves the empty-input case.- Both new tests exercise the exact failure modes described (no excerpt /
1:1frame; REPL.loadsilently defining nothing) and would fail on main.
The two comment-cop bot flags look like heuristic false positives — the flagged comments are short doc/context notes, not workaround justifications.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
Three C++ changes in src/jsc/bindings/ plus two regression tests:
- ErrorStackFrame.cpp
adjustPositionBackwards: deletes the!source.is8Bit()branch that reset the frame to 1:1 (and hitASSERT_NOT_REACHEDin debug). The remaining loop indexessource[pos.byte_position - i]viaStringView::operator[], which returns achar16_tfor either encoding, and JSC's divot/column offsets are code-unit offsets in both — so the arithmetic is already correct. Doc comment updated to say "code units". - ZigException.cpp
populateStackFramePosition: drops thesourceString.is8Bit()gate on the excerpt block and replaces the rawspan8().data()pointer +bytes[i]reads withsourceString[i]. TheBun::toStringView(sourceString.substring(...))calls that produce each excerpt line were already present; I confirmedtoEncodedSlice(const StringView&)(helpers.h:264) branches onis8Bit()and tags 16-bit spans withtaggedUTF16Ptr, so the Rust-sideBunStringconsumer receives correctly-tagged data for both widths. The provider is stillref()'d before the borrowed views are stored, so lifetime is unchanged. - bindings.cpp
Bun__REPL__evaluate: swapsWTF::String::fromUTF8(null on ill-formed UTF-8) forZig::convertUTF8ToString(U+FFFD substitution viafromUTF8ReplacingInvalidSequences), matching how module sources are decoded elsewhere inBunString.cppandhelpers.h.
Security risks
None. All three sites read module text or transpiler output that Bun already parses/executes; no new untrusted-input surface. StringView::operator[] is bounds-asserted in debug and the loop bounds are the same > 0 / < length() guards as before.
Level of scrutiny
Medium — C++ bindings that touch JSC string internals warrant care, but each change is a strict relaxation of an over-restrictive guard where the underlying primitive (StringView indexing, toEncodedSlice) already supports both encodings. No new allocation, no ownership changes, no exception-scope changes.
Other factors
- Two well-targeted regression tests:
compile/NoSourceMapNonAsciiSourceasserts both the excerpt renders (with the non-ASCII comment decoded) and the frame is:5:9not:1:1; the REPL.loadtest asserts the file evaluates and the bad byte round-trips as U+FFFD inFunction.prototype.toString. Both fail on main per the PR description. - CI (build #96691) was green on 166 jobs; the ASAN-lane timeouts and Windows agent outage were fleet-wide and unrelated.
- The two
github-actionscomment-cop inline comments flag the new doc/context comments as "paragraph-long workaround justifications". Both are 3–4 line explanatory comments (a doc comment onadjustPositionBackwards, and a why-this-decoder note in the REPL) — they read as normal context, not workaround apologetics. Not blocking.
…ix-up and the REPL A module whose text contains any non-ASCII character (a preserved comment is enough) is held by JSC as a 16-bit string. Three readers assumed 8-bit: - ZigException.cpp only rendered the source preview for 8-bit sources, reading them through span8(); it now indexes the string, which works for both widths, so such modules get a preview again. - adjustPositionBackwards in ErrorStackFrame.cpp gave up on 16-bit sources and reset the frame to 1:1 whenever moving a constructor call's position back to its new keyword crossed a line; the offsets it works with are code units in either width, so the 8-bit-only check is removed. - Bun__REPL__evaluate decoded the program with WTF::String::fromUTF8, which returns a null string for ill-formed input; a preserved comment passes through the transpiler verbatim, so a stray byte in one made the whole input evaluate to nothing. It now uses the same decoder as the module loader, which substitutes U+FFFD.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):
-
🟣
src/jsc/bindings/ZigException.cpp— pre-existing: a script whose last statement ends exactly at end-of-text makes the preview scan read one code unit past the source buffer. With the is8Bit() guard gone at ZigException.cpp:92, the loop at ZigException.cpp:154 indexes sourceString[lineStart] with lineStart == byte_position, and JSC's divot can equal sourceString.length() (e.g. eval("throw 1") with no trailing newline). The same unguarded source[pos.byte_position - i] read sits at ErrorStackFrame.cpp:37, now reached for 16-bit sources too. Fix: clamp the start index to length() - 1 (or skip the scan when byte_position >= length()) at both sites before the first index read, which covers 8-bit and 16-bit sources. [also at: src/jsc/bindings/ErrorStackFrame.cpp:37 - pre-existing: anewwhose callee ends the source text makes the newline scan read one code unit past the source buffer, now for 16-bit sources as well as 8-bit.]Why this was flagged
A source string evaluated without the transpiler (eval, new Function body, node:vm script, REPL fallback) whose final statement ends at the last character, for example eval("throw 1"): JSC's ThrowNode divot is lastTokenEndPosition, which equals the source length. populateStackFramePosition at src/jsc/bindings/ZigException.cpp:94 sets lineStart = location.byte_position and line 95 reads sourceString[lineStart] before checking it against sourceString.length(); the lineEnd loop at line 102 is bounded by maxSearch but the lineStart loop is not. WTF::StringView::operator[] only ASSERTs in debug, so release reads one code unit past the StringImpl buffer. On the base branch this read happens for 8-bit sources only; the diff removes the sourceString.is8Bit() guard at line 92 so 16-bit sources now take the same path. src/jsc/bindings/ErrorStackFrame.cpp:37 has the same shape: for i == 0 it reads source[pos.byte_position], and the base returned 0/0/0 for 16-bit sources there without reading.
Verification: pre-existing (the base already performs the same unguarded read for 8-bit sources; this PR extends it to 16-bit sources by deleting the two is8Bit() guards). src/jsc/bindings/ZigException.cpp:153-154 reads sourceString[byte_position] before any comparison with sourceString.length(); only the forward scan at :160-161 is bounded. The sibling at src/jsc/bindings/ErrorStackFrame.cpp:36-37 is likewise unbounded.

🟣
src/jsc/bindings/ErrorStackFrame.cpp— pre-existing: anewcall on the first source line whose argument list continues on a later line gets a stack column one too small. The column recount at src/jsc/bindings/ErrorStackFrame.cpp:45 loopswhile (i > 0 ...), so when no earlier newline exists it stops before counting the character at index 0. Fix: count every code unit back to the previous newline or the start of the source, for both 8-bit and 16-bit sources (i >= 0), while keeping the-1that skips the divot position. This PR now routes 16-bit sources (compiled executables with non-ASCII text) through this loop, so the off-by-one newly applies to them as well.Why this was flagged
Input: a source whose first line contains
new X(at a non-zero column and whose arguments sit on a later line. getAdjustedPositionForBytecode (src/jsc/bindings/ErrorStackFrame.cpp:83) calls adjustPositionBackwards with amount = expr.startOffset; the column goes negative so the recount at src/jsc/bindings/ErrorStackFrame.cpp:44-48 runs. With divot at index 8 and amount 5, i starts at 2; the loop counts index 2 and 1 then stops at i == 0 without counting source[0], giving column 2 wherenewis at zero-based column 3. The base branch has the same loop for 8-bit sources; this PR removes the is8Bit early return at the old src/jsc/bindings/ErrorStackFrame.cpp:35, so 16-bit sources now reach it too. The guardpos.byte_position - amount < 0at line 17 does not help: it only catches amount larger than the position. Consequence: the printed frame column (and any sourcemap lookup keyed on it) is one short for first-line constructor calls.Verification: pre-existing. Trigger: an op_construct whose
newkeyword is on the first source line at a non-zero column and whose callee ends (JSC divot) on a later line. Mechanism at src/jsc/bindings/ErrorStackFrame.cpp:44-48:while (i > 0 && source[i] != '\n')never examines index 0, so on line 0 it counts start-1 code units instead of start. The base branch has the identicali > 0loop for 8-bit sources.
…text The excerpt scan in populateStackFramePosition starts at the error's position, which is the length of the source when the expression it belongs to ends the text (an identifier that is not defined, for example). The scan then read one code unit past the source. Start it at the last code unit, and skip the excerpt for an empty source. adjustPositionBackwards gets the same bound for the same position. 8-bit sources had this read before. 16-bit sources reach it now that they get an excerpt.

Went through the review of 6b80bea. One finding is a real defect that this PR widened, so it is fixed here (a865431).
