Lower super in static blocks and static initializers relocated by decorator lowering (stacked on #38769)

[robobun]

Stacked on #38769: this PR's base is that PR's branch, so the diff shown here is only the static-site change, and it retargets to main when #38769 merges. Intended merge order: #31930, #38769, then this.

Problem

• The standard (TC39) decorator lowering moves class static blocks and the initializers of lowered static fields/accessors out of the class body and emits them after the class. A super.x in that code was copied verbatim (lower_impl in src/js_parser/lower/lower_decorators.rs: the static block extraction and the static_init_entries push in the property loop, plus the undecorated static accessor initializer, which triggers the lowering without any decorator).
• At module or function level that is SyntaxError: super is not valid in this context. and the file fails to load. When the decorated class is declared inside a method of another class it is worse: the relocated super.x now sits inside that method, is valid there, and silently reads the enclosing class's parent (bun 1.4.0 prints outer for the decorated class inside a method test below).

function dec(v: any, c: any) {}
class Base { static x = 1; }
class C extends Base {
  @dec static y = 2;
  static { console.log("block super.x =", super.x); }
  @dec static z = super.x + 10;
}
console.log(C.z); // expected: "block super.x = 1" then 11 (tsc, esbuild, native decorators)

Fix

• Rewrite super property accesses in private methods extracted by decorator lowering #38769 adds the super lowering for private method bodies that leave the class body (RewriteKind::LowerSuper, emitting __superGet / __superSet / __superWrapper against a _home temporary that a leading static block binds to the class). This PR runs that pass over the three static relocation sites as well, followed by the ReplaceThis pass that extracted static blocks already had, through one helper (RelocatedStatic, rewrite_relocated_static_expr / _stmts) that every relocation site calls. About 40 lines in the lowering, no new mechanism.
• The order inside the helper is the one non-obvious point: LowerSuper emits __superGet(_home, this, key), and ReplaceThis afterwards turns that this (together with the user's own) into the class binding. That is the receiver the spec wants, the class as possibly reassigned by class decorators, while _home keeps the lookup starting at the original class's parent (class replaced by a class decorator ... test).
• The rewrites run when each piece is extracted in the property loop instead of in step 7, because _home is declared and its capture block emitted right after that loop. The private-access rewriting that runs in between does not care: this.#x lowers the same whether the receiver is this or C.
• The decorated static initializer and undecorated static accessor sites thereby also get this replaced, which they lacked before (pinned by @dec static self = this === C and static accessor a = ... + this.name); that is the this half of Substitute this and inner class name in relocated static initializers during decorator lowering #31922 for these two sites.
• Why not the first revision of this PR (standalone inline Reflect.get(_base, key, C)): review found that _base is spelled the same for every class in a file, so a closure escaping from relocated code in one class read the next decorated class's base, silently wrong where today's code fails loudly, and that it was a second mechanism next to Rewrite super property accesses in private methods extracted by decorator lowering #38769's. _home has the same spelling problem until Give decorator lowering temporaries file-unique names #31930 lands (it bites when two classes in one file both use relocated super and one stores a closure; Rewrite super property accesses in private methods extracted by decorator lowering #38769's method bodies depend on Give decorator lowering temporaries file-unique names #31930 in the same way), hence the merge order above.
• Not covered here: Let a decorated class body observe the class its decorators return #38731 adds a fourth relocation site (undecorated static fields of class-decorated classes); whichever of the two lands second adds the one rewrite_relocated_static_expr call there. Lower accessor-only classes in place instead of relocating static elements #31926 / js_parser: lower undecorated auto-accessors to a native #-private storage field #35708 stop relocating the undecorated accessor initializer, at which point that call site disappears with it. The positions the shared walker still skips (object literal computed keys, arrow parameter defaults, nested class extends clauses) are Substitute this and inner class name in relocated static initializers during decorator lowering #31922's.
• Verification: new super property access in relocated static code block in test/bundler/transpiler/es-decorators.test.ts, 14 tests. With this PR's src/ change removed (so on Rewrite super property accesses in private methods extracted by decorator lowering #38769 alone) all 14 fail; with it all 14 pass. Expected outputs are what the same classes print without the lowering: every write form ... runs the identical static block natively and lowered in one program and prints whether the two agree (compound and logical assignment, ++ / --, assignment used as a value, destructuring targets with a default, delete throwing, computed keys); the other programs were run through node (tsc's emit for the class decorator case). Also covered: reads, calls, ?.(), tagged templates, await in an async arrow, IIFE-wrapped blocks, decorated field / accessor / private field initializers, an undecorated accessor in a decorated class and in a class with no decorators, no extends clause, class expressions, the method-scoped class, nested object methods and classes keeping their own super, and the emitted shape.
• Suites run on this stack: es-decorators (including Rewrite super property accesses in private methods extracted by decorator lowering #38769's block), es-decorators-esbuild, decorators, decorator-metadata, bundler_decorator_metadata, ts-use-define-for-class-fields, esbuild/ts, transpiler.test.js, bundler_edgecase: green. A probe with every read, call and write form matched node's output for the unlowered class through bun run, bun build and --minify.

Background

• Standard decorator lowering: a class with TC39 decorators (or an accessor member) is printed as a plain class followed by __decorateElement / __runInitializers calls. Static blocks and the initializers of lowered static members must run after those calls, so they are moved out of the body too; ReplaceThis is the existing pass that turns their this into the class binding.
• super.x in a static block or static initializer means: look x up on the [[Prototype]] of the class being defined (its home object), with the class as receiver. With class decorators the receiver is the replacement class but the home object is still the original one. __superGet(home, receiver, key) is Reflect.get(Object.getPrototypeOf(home), key, receiver); _home is bound to the original class by the static block Rewrite super property accesses in private methods extracted by decorator lowering #38769 puts first in the body.
• Lowering temporaries (_home, _init, _base, ...) are printed by spelling; the runtime transpiler has no rename pass, so two classes in one file share one var of each name. Reads made while the class is being defined are fine; reads from closures or method bodies that run later see the last class's value. Give decorator lowering temporaries file-unique names #31930 gives the temporaries file-unique names.

First revision of this PR, superseded

The initial version rewrote the same three sites to inline Reflect.get(_base, key, C) / Reflect.set(...) (tsc's emit shape) and left compound writes, destructuring targets and classes without extends as syntax errors. It was replaced by the stacked version above after review; its behaviour tests carried over.

Status: reproduced on bun 1.4.0 with the snippet in the description (SyntaxError: super is not valid in this context. for a static block and a decorated static initializer using super.x; the same failure for a bare static accessor a = super.x; inside a method of another class the relocated super silently reads the wrong parent instead). Fixed by this PR as a follow-up stacked on #38769 (head 1d01d08, base = #38769's branch): the 14 tests in the new super property access in relocated static code block fail on #38769 alone and pass with this change. Intended merge order: #31930 (unique temporaries), #38769, then this; see the description for why. All review threads are addressed and resolved.

CI on 1d01d08 (build 97542): 177 of 179 jobs passed and no test is red after retries (everything listed as failing passed on retry or alone, none of it in the decorator or transpiler suites). The build shows as failing only because one job expired waiting for an agent and one never got scheduled; nothing in it relates to this change.

[claude]

The destructuring-target guard I flagged earlier is fixed in f1bbd54 (is_unlowered_assign_target now skips the pattern LHS while still rewriting the RHS), and the new test.each cases pin both destructuring forms. No further issues found this pass. Given this is ~230 lines of new AST rewriting in the decorator lowering with subtle receiver/home-object semantics, a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• Walker stopping conditions: EFunction/EClass stop under LowerSuper, EArrow descends; object-method shorthand stops via the EFunction arm (covered by the "nested methods and classes" test).
• ExprNodeList::from_arena_slice copies its input (VecExt in src/collections/vec_ext.rs), so the stack-array call sites in call_reflect and the .bind template path are not dangling — CodeRabbit's finding was correctly withdrawn.
• lower_super_void_expr comma-operator recursion and the if (super.x) super.c = 3 path (statement-level SExpr routing vs. nested SIf consequent) — both covered by tests.
• The three call sites (static blocks, static_init_entries, undecorated static accessor initializers) each gated on base_ref.is_some().

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR adds a RewriteKind::LowerSuper pass to the existing relocation rewriter in src/js_parser/lower/lower_decorators.rs (~230 lines of new Rust) and 16 new tests in test/bundler/transpiler/es-decorators.test.ts. It fixes a real bug: TC39 decorator lowering moves static blocks and static field/accessor initializers out of the class body, where bare super.x becomes a syntax error. The fix rewrites those to Reflect.get(_base, key, C) / Reflect.set(...) / .call(C, ...), matching tsc's emit shape.

Security risks

None. This is pure AST-to-AST transformation in the transpiler; no untrusted-input parsing changes, no I/O, no auth/crypto.

Level of scrutiny

High. This touches the JS parser's decorator lowering, which is production-critical transpiler logic that runs on every file with TC39 decorators or accessor fields. The rewrite has subtle semantic requirements: the receiver must be the class binding (or its decorator-replaced value), the lookup object must be the _base snapshot (not Object.getPrototypeOf(C)), optional-call chains must preserve short-circuit, tagged templates must bind the receiver, and the walker must stop at nested classes/functions/object-methods but descend through arrows. Getting any of these wrong silently changes program semantics rather than failing loudly.

Other factors

• My prior inline comment (destructuring assignment targets slipping past the write guard) was addressed in f1bbd54; the new is_unlowered_assign_target helper skips EArray/EObject LHS patterns while still rewriting the RHS, and both forms are now in the test.each negative cases.
• Test coverage is thorough: 10 behavior tests validated against node/tsc reference output, 6 negative cases pinning the intentionally-unhandled write forms, and 2 transpiler-output shape tests. All three relocation sites are exercised, plus class expressions, class-decorator replacement, computed keys, optional calls, tagged templates, comma operators, and nested-scope stopping.
• CI is green on the decorator/transpiler/bundler suites; the one red test (test-http-chunk-problem.js) also fails on main.
• CodeRabbit's from_arena_slice lifetime concern was investigated and correctly withdrawn (VecExt::from_arena_slice copies via extend_from_slice).
• The comment-cop warnings about long comments were all addressed in 85a1253/2196bd0.

The implementation looks correct to me and the test matrix is strong, but the semantic surface area (receiver binding, home-object lookup, walker stopping conditions, deliberately-unhandled write forms) is large enough that a maintainer familiar with the decorator lowering should confirm the design choices — particularly using the _base snapshot rather than Object.getPrototypeOf(C), and the decision to leave compound/destructuring writes as syntax errors rather than lowering them.

[robobun]

Heads-up on overlap: #38769 fixes the other half of this (private method bodies extracted into plain functions) and also adds a RewriteKind::LowerSuper to the same walker, so the two branches conflict textually in lower_decorators.rs.

The mechanism there emits __superGet(home, this, key) / __superSet / __superWrapper (runtime helpers, home being the original class captured by a static block). For the relocated static code handled here, running that pass with is_static before the existing ReplaceThis pass produces __superGet(_home, C, key), i.e. the same lookup object and receiver as the Reflect.get(_base, key, C) emitted here, and also covers the compound/update/destructuring writes and the no-extends case this PR leaves unsupported. So whichever of the two lands second can probably drop its own rewrite and reuse the other's; the tests from both apply either way.

[claude]

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs in the current revision (both earlier findings — destructuring patterns as assignment targets, and the double record_usage on Reflect — are addressed). Because it adds ~200 lines of AST-rewriting logic to the decorator lowering and overlaps with #38769's __superGet/__superSet approach (which also covers the compound-write and no-extends cases this PR leaves unsupported), a human look at which mechanism should land would be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• The Reflect.get/.call/.bind/Reflect.set emit shapes against tsc's output and the spec's receiver semantics — lookup on _base, receiver is the (possibly replaced) class binding.
• Scope stopping: EFunction and EClass are skipped for LowerSuper, arrows descend; object-literal methods stop via their EFunction value (covered by the "nested methods and classes" test).
• ExprNodeList::from_arena_slice copies its input, so the stack-array call sites are safe.
• The is_unlowered_assign_target guard now also skips EArray/EObject LHS patterns while still walking the RHS.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR adds a RewriteKind::LowerSuper pass to src/js_parser/lower/lower_decorators.rs (~230 net lines) that rewrites super.x / super[k] / super.m(...) / tagged-template / statement-position super.x = v in code the standard-decorator lowering relocates outside the class body (static blocks, decorated static field/accessor initializers, undecorated static accessor initializers). Reads become Reflect.get(_base, key, C), calls append .call(C, ...) (preserving ?.), tagged templates .bind(C), and void-position assigns become Reflect.set(_base, key, v, C). Compound/update writes, delete, assignment-as-value, destructuring targets, and classes without extends are deliberately left as syntax errors. test/bundler/transpiler/es-decorators.test.ts gains a 16-case describe.concurrent block covering behaviour, transpiler output, and the pinned unsupported forms.

Security risks

None. This is transpiler output-shape correctness for TC39 decorators; the only input is source code already flowing through the parser, and the emit uses standard Reflect builtins the same way tsc does.

Level of scrutiny

Medium-high. The change is a hand-written recursive AST rewrite over a dozen expression forms with subtle scope-stopping rules (arrows inherit super, functions/methods/classes do not) and receiver semantics that must match the spec exactly (class-decorator replacement, inherited static getters/setters seeing this === C). It is well-tested and the mechanism mirrors tsc's emit, but it is not mechanical.

Other factors

• All prior review threads are resolved: comment-cop (comments shortened), CodeRabbit's arena-lifetime concern (refuted with VecExt::from_arena_slice semantics), CodeRabbit's unsupported-write-form coverage request (added in 2196bd0), my destructuring-target finding (fixed in f1bbd54), and my double-record_usage nit (fixed in 9a0ec24).
• robobun flagged a textual and mechanistic overlap with #38769, which adds the same RewriteKind::LowerSuper variant for the private-method-body extraction case but emits __superGet/__superSet/__superWrapper runtime helpers instead of inline Reflect calls, and additionally handles the compound/update/destructuring/no-extends cases this PR leaves as errors. Whichever lands second will conflict and likely subsume the other's rewrite logic — that coordination is a maintainer call.
• Test coverage is thorough (reads, computed keys, calls, optional calls, tagged templates, assigns via setter, comma sequences, IIFE-wrapped blocks with declarations, class expressions, class-decorator replacement, nested-scope stopping, plus 6 negative pins and 2 transpiler-output snapshots). CI on the head commit is reported green apart from an unrelated test-http-chunk-problem.js failure also on main.

[robobun]

Reworked after a self-review of the first revision, which turned up two problems with the standalone Reflect.get(_base, ...) approach:

1. _base is spelled the same for every lowered class in a file and the runtime transpiler prints temporaries by name, so a closure escaping from a static block in one class read the next decorated class's base (A.later = () => super.tag() followed by a second decorated extends class printed the second class's parent, in both bun run and bun build). Today that code fails loudly, so the first revision would have traded a SyntaxError for a silently wrong lookup until Give decorator lowering temporaries file-unique names #31930 lands.
2. Rewrite super property accesses in private methods extracted by decorator lowering #38769 already carries the general mechanism for the sibling bug (private method bodies), including the write forms and the no-extends case the first revision left unsupported, and both PRs were adding the same RewriteKind variant in the same hunks.

The PR is now stacked on #38769 (base branch retargeted, so the diff here is only the static-site part): the three relocation sites call #38769's pass followed by the existing this replacement through one helper, and the behaviour tests carried over, plus new ones for the write forms, classes without extends, and a decorated class declared inside a method, where the old code was not a syntax error but silently bound super to the enclosing class's parent. Details, including why the merge order is #31930, #38769, then this, are in the description.

[claude]

Beyond the inline nit, on the reworked (stacked-on-#38769) revision I also checked that moving the ReplaceThis rewrite from step 7 to the property-loop extraction site is safe — the private-access rewriting that runs between them lowers this.#x and C.#x the same way — and that all three relocation sites (static block, undecorated static accessor initializer, decorated static field/accessor initializer) go through the one rewrite_relocated_static_* helper with LowerSuper before ReplaceThis, so the emitted this receiver becomes the class binding. The stacked merge order (#31930 → #38769 → this) and the acknowledged _home spelling dependency on #31930 still want a human look before landing.

Extended reasoning...

This is the first review pass on the reworked revision (the PR was retargeted onto #38769's branch at 06:06Z and the standalone Reflect.get(_base, ...) mechanism from the first revision, which all my earlier comments addressed, is gone). The new diff is ~40 net lines of Rust that bundle #38769's existing RewriteKind::LowerSuper and the pre-existing RewriteKind::ReplaceThis into a RelocatedStatic helper and call it at the three static-relocation sites, plus 14 behavioural tests. The only finding this run is a vacuous negative assertion in one transpiler-output test. Not approving because this is a stacked PR with an explicit three-PR merge order and a stated correctness dependency on #31930 (per-file-unique temporary names for _home); a maintainer should confirm the landing sequence.

[claude]

I reviewed this revision and found no new issues — the last nit (vacuous not.toContain("super.")) was addressed in 1d01d08. Because this is a stacked transpiler-lowering change with an explicit merge order (#31930 → #38769 → this) and a known _home name-collision dependency on #31930, a human look at the stack coordination would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• The three relocation sites (undecorated static accessor, static block, decorated static field/accessor) each call the shared rewrite_relocated_static_* helper; LowerSuper runs before ReplaceThis so the emitted this receiver is replaced along with the user's own.
• Moving ReplaceThis from step 7 to extraction time — the intervening private-access rewrite lowers this.#x the same whether the receiver is this or the class binding, and the super_home_ref cell is read after the loop so the capture block is still emitted.
• The 14 new tests cover reads/calls/writes (compound, logical, ++/--, destructuring targets, delete), no-extends, class expressions, class-decorator replacement, the method-nested silent-misbind case, and negative _home-not-emitted; the shape test's \bsuper\b assertion now fails on both super. and super[.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR extends #38769's RewriteKind::LowerSuper pass (added for private method bodies moved out of the class) to the three other places the standard-decorator lowering relocates code out of the class body: static blocks, decorated static field/accessor initializers, and undecorated static accessor initializers. It introduces a small RelocatedStatic struct holding the shared super_home_ref cell and the class binding, plus rewrite_relocated_static_expr / _stmts helpers that run LowerSuper then ReplaceThis over the relocated AST. The old ReplaceThis call for static blocks in step 7 is removed since it now runs at extraction time. About 40 lines of Rust in lower_decorators.rs and ~350 lines of new tests in es-decorators.test.ts.

Security risks

None. This is transpiler AST-rewriting logic operating on already-parsed source; no untrusted input handling, no allocation-size arithmetic, no FFI or syscall paths. The change only affects what JavaScript is emitted for a narrow class shape (decorated class with super in relocated static code), and the failure mode without it is a load-time SyntaxError.

Level of scrutiny

Medium-high. Transpiler lowering is correctness-critical (silently wrong emit is worse than a syntax error, as the PR's own "decorated class inside a method" test demonstrates), and this PR is the third of a three-PR stack with an explicit merge order. The description is candid that _home shares the same file-wide-spelling problem as _base did in the first revision until #31930 lands, so a human should confirm the stack lands in the stated order. The move of ReplaceThis from step 7 to the property loop is a timing change whose correctness depends on the private-access rewrite being receiver-agnostic — the description argues this and I found nothing contradicting it, but it is exactly the kind of non-local invariant a maintainer familiar with lower_impl should sign off on.

Other factors

This PR has been through several review rounds; every prior finding (double-counted Reflect usage, missing EAwait/EYield walker arms, destructuring-target handling, failing-set semantics, walker gaps for computed keys / arrow defaults / nested extends, and the vacuous test assertion) is either fixed here, explicitly deferred to a named sibling PR (#31922, #38769), or now moot after the rework onto #38769's mechanism. All threads are resolved. Test coverage is thorough — 14 spawned-subprocess tests plus a transpiler-shape test, including a native-vs-lowered equivalence test for every write form and a negative check that _home is not emitted when no relocated super exists. The remaining walker gaps (object computed keys, arrow param defaults, nested extends) are pre-existing, not regressions, and tracked in #31922. Given the stack coordination and the subtle ReplaceThis timing change, I'm deferring rather than auto-approving.

Status against #40833, which rewrites the standard decorator lowering: relocated static initializers and static blocks now get super rewritten through __superGet, __superSet and __superWrapper, with the original class kept in _home since 9898f5b. Of the 14 tests added here, 12 pass on that branch (reads, computed keys, calls, optional calls, tagged templates, await, assignments through inherited setters, compound and logical assignments, updates, destructuring targets, IIFE-wrapped blocks, accessor initializers, class expressions, nested classes, a class replaced by a class decorator).

Two cases still differ there:

• delete super.n does not throw the ReferenceError the native form throws ("every write form" fails only on that entry).
• The output shape test expects this PR's exact _home = this capture.

Leaving this open for the delete case, stacked on #38769 as before. It needs a rebase onto #40833.

Closing: superseded by #40833 (a22b2aa).

The standard decorator lowering no longer moves static blocks or static field initializers out of the class body. super in that code now runs natively. The relocation sites and the ReplaceThis pass that this PR patched no longer exist in lower_decorators.rs.

I ran this PR's test block against a debug build of main at 09bb546. That commit includes a22b2aa. The block is super property access in relocated static code (14 tests).

• The repro from the description prints block super.x = 1, then 11.
• class D extends Base { static accessor a = super.x } prints 1.
• A decorated class declared inside a method of another class reads its own parent (inner inner).
• 11 of the 13 behavioral tests pass. every write form prints what the undecorated class prints is one of them. The delete super.n difference from my previous status comment is gone.
• The last test asserts the old output shape (_home, __superGet). It no longer applies.

The two behavioral tests that differ are not relocation problems. In both, every super lookup starts at the correct parent.

1. static block reads, computed keys and calls keep the class as receiver: one line differs. super.tag`a${super.x}b` prints tag:Base:a|b:1, and the test expects tag:C:a|b:1. JavaScriptCore calls the tag of super.tag`...` with the parent as this in every class, with or without decorators. Bump WebKit (oven-sh/WebKit#438 preview): call the tag of super.tag... with the method's this #38920 (TaggedTemplateNode: call super.tag... and super[key]... with the method's this WebKit#438) has the fix.
2. class replaced by a class decorator is the receiver, lookup still starts at the parent: main prints 1 who:C C and Replaced m:C:1. The test expects 1 who:Replaced Replaced and Replaced m:Replaced:1. super.x reads 1 from Base in both. Only the receiver differs. js_parser: lower standard decorators without moving class members #40833 keeps static members on the class as written when a class decorator returns a different class (see "Behaviour that changes on purpose" in js_parser: lower standard decorators without moving class members #40833). tsc and the spec draft (Add Class and Class Element Decorators and accessor Keyword tc39/ecma262#2417, Set F to newF.[[Value]] before the static elements run) use the replacement as the receiver. A change to that behavior is a decision about the new lowering. The ReplaceThis approach of this PR cannot apply to it.

Main's es-decorators.test.ts covers the same super forms in static code: the tests under members stay where they are written, and the superStatic and superForms sections of the lowering matrix fixture.
