Problem

Fix

  • C++ (src/jsc/bindings): delete six unused static helpers in webcore/JSMIMEType.cpp (JSMIMEParams.cpp has its own copies), seven never-read members such as ZigGlobalObject::sourceProviderMap, two isOnline() methods, the UpdateResult enum, and five macros. The notes list every symbol.
  • Rust: delete the HotReloadTaskView trait (every reload impl ignored the task, so the parameter goes too), a commented-out napi_get_property_names stub (C++ implements it), and an unused bun_core dependency in three *_jsc crates.
  • TypeScript and scripts: delete two unread getters in internal/repl/node-inspect, a hot root for a missing file, closest and its disabled caller in cppbind.ts, the unset isEventEmitter class option, two constant build toggles, a constant ternary in the HMR client, and three unused CI script helpers.
  • Verified: cargo check --workspace, bun run rust:check-all (12 targets), bun bd, and the tests in the notes.

Background

  • The workspace denies dead_code and unreachable_pub, so a Rust item only goes unnoticed when it is pub and reachable from a crate root. On a scratch branch the sweep rewrote every pub item named nowhere outside its crate to pub(crate), ran cargo check for linux and windows, and kept what the compiler flagged on both. That rewrite is not in this PR.
  • C++ and TypeScript have no such lint. Those candidates come from an identifier-frequency pass over src/, packages/, scripts/, and the codegen output, confirmed with rg -w per symbol.
Notes

Full list of the C++ deletions: isHTTPQuotedStringChar, isNotHTTPQuotedStringChar, findFirstInvalidHTTPQuotedStringChar, removeBackslashes, escapeQuoteOrBackslash, encodeParamValue (JSMIMEType.cpp); Worker::isOnline, WorkerMessagingProxy::isOnline; UpdateResult (JSCipher.h); macros BUN_WRAP_FWD_VOID (workaround-missing-symbols.cpp), G_FALSE, G_TRUE (SecretsLinux.cpp), NCRYPTO_FAIL, NCRYPTO_ASSERT_EQUAL (ncrypto.h).

Full list of the TypeScript and script deletions: format/formatWithOptions getters in src/js/internal/repl/node-inspect.js (its four consumers read only inspect, getStringWidth, stripVTControlCharacters); "node/buffer.ts" in the hotRoots list of src/codegen/bundle-modules.ts; closest in src/codegen/cppbind.ts; isEventEmitter in src/codegen/class-definitions.ts; PARALLEL, KEEP_TMP, and the rmSync import in src/codegen/bundle-functions.ts; isLocal ? 2_500 : 2_500 in src/runtime/bake/client/websocket.ts; aws.copyImage (scripts/machine.mjs), docker.listContainers (scripts/docker.mjs), tart.listVms (scripts/tart.mjs).

Method for the Rust side. 16587 pub items exist in the workspace. 1952 of them (pass 1) plus 203 more after stripping comments from the reference scan (pass 2) are named only inside their own crate. Narrowing them to pub(crate) and running cargo check --workspace with --cap-lints warn produced 50 dead_code findings on linux and 58 on windows. After removing findings in files owned by open PRs, findings used only by #[cfg(test)] code (clap::args::SliceIterator, CowSlice::init_dupe), platform-specific findings that the other target uses, and field/variant findings that are read through macros or mirror a C++ enum, two items remained: rsplit_once and HotReloadTaskView. rsplit_once stays: clippy.toml names it as the replacement for three banned str/bstr methods, so it is part of the toolkit the lint policy promises even with no caller today.

Items verified but left alone, with the reason:

  • packages/bun-inspector-protocol/src/protocol/v8/{index.d.ts,protocol.json} (about 18k lines): no importer in the repo, but scripts/generate-protocol.ts --v8 regenerates it on purpose and the package publishes src/.
  • src/runtime/bake/hmr-module.ts hasExportStar and the disabled export-key check that calls it: the comment says the check is disabled, not dropped.
  • src/runtime/bake/client/websocket.ts close()/Symbol.dispose/mainWebSocket: unused, but it is the wrapper's teardown API.
  • src/runtime/bake/client/data-view.ts DataViewReader::u16, DataViewWriter::u8: unused halves of a symmetric codec.
  • src/js/internal/validators.ts kValidateObjectNone: mirrors Node's constant set.
  • src/jsc/bindings/webcore/SerializedScriptValue.cpp m_blobURLs/m_blobFilePaths: write-only, but removing them changes the deserialize signatures.
  • src/codegen/class-definitions.ts lang: documented as a compatibility shim.
  • BunBuiltinNames.h mockedFunction: no textual reference, but BunCommonStrings.cpp reaches it through token pasting (name##PublicName). The build caught this one.

Scans that found nothing: src/js/** (every internal export has a consumer, every builtin is referenced from C++), src/codegen/** beyond the items above, orphan .rs/.cpp files (none), #[allow(dead_code)] items (all platform- or test-gated), macro_rules! never invoked (none), unused Cargo features (none), #if 0 blocks (none).

Tests run with the debug build: test/js/node/util/mime-api.test.ts, test/js/web/broadcastchannel/, test/js/web/workers/worker.test.ts (two tests in "terminate() races and lifecycle edges" fail the same way on an unmodified main in this container), test/cli/hot/hot.test.ts, test/cli/hot/watch.test.ts, test/js/bun/test/mock-fn.test.js, test/js/node/crypto/crypto.test.ts, test/js/node/readline/readline.node.test.ts, test/internal/source-lints/. prettier --check, clang-format --dry-run, and cargo fmt --check pass on the changed files.

Status: the diff removes 270 lines and adds 17 across 28 files. Verified with cargo check --workspace (workspace deny lints), bun run rust:check-all (12 targets), a full bun bd, and the tests named in the PR notes. No file here is touched by another open dead-code PR except Cargo.lock, and only the three dependency lines differ.

There is no test change on purpose. The PR deletes code that nothing references and changes no behavior, and test/internal/source-lints/CLAUDE.md asks for no tests for dead symbols.

LGTM — deletion-only dead-code sweep; the three inline notes are stale-comment nits that don't affect behavior.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR removes ~277 lines of dead code across 29 files: unused static helpers and never-read members in the C++ JSC bindings (JSMIMEType.cpp, ZigGlobalObject.h, BroadcastChannel, Worker/WorkerMessagingProxy, napi.h, ncrypto.h, ExceptionOr.h, JSCipher.h, SecretsLinux.cpp, workaround-missing-symbols.cpp), two Rust items (bun_core::strings::rsplit_once and the HotReloadTaskView trait plus its parameter threading), three unused Cargo deps, unread getters in internal/repl/node-inspect.js, dead codegen toggles/helpers, a constant ternary in the HMR client, and three CI script helpers. No logic is added; the only non-deletion changes are call-site simplifications where a removed parameter was threaded through (reload()).

Security risks

None. Nothing user-facing changes; all removed items are internal helpers, write-only members, or build-time toggles. No auth/crypto/permission logic is altered — the ncrypto.h and JSCipher.h edits remove an unused enum and two unused assert macros only.

Level of scrutiny

Medium-breadth, low-depth. The risk with dead-code sweeps is deleting something reached through token-pasting, codegen, or FFI. I spot-checked every category: rg -w confirms zero remaining references to m_JSMIMEParamsConstructor/m_JSMIMETypeConstructor/sourceProviderMap/hasOverriddenModuleRunMain/releaseOnWeaken/m_wasReleased/isEventEmitter/UpdateResult/NCRYPTO_FAIL/NCRYPTO_ASSERT_EQUAL/BUN_WRAP_FWD_VOID/G_TRUE/G_FALSE; isOnline survives only in comments; the deleted JSMIMEType.cpp helpers have independent copies in JSMIMEParams.cpp; no consumer of internal/repl/node-inspect reads format/formatWithOptions; and the removed script helpers (copyImage/listContainers/listVms) have no callers. The PR was verified with cargo check --workspace, rust:check-all across 12 targets, a full bun bd, and the targeted test suites named in the notes.

Other factors

The three inline findings are all documentation nits (a stale header comment in node-inspect.js, stale clippy.toml reason strings pointing at the removed rsplit_once, and a stale doc comment on HotReloadTask). None affect runtime or the build; they're worth fixing but don't block. The PR's methodology notes are unusually thorough (including items considered and left alone with reasons), and the HotReloadTaskView removal correctly updates all three HotReloaderCtx::reload implementors and both call sites.

LGTM — 74e7d0f addressed all three nits from the earlier pass (kept rsplit_once so clippy.toml still points at a real function, dropped the stale HotReloadTask doc sentence, and updated the node-inspect.js header).

The comment-cop bot flag on node-inspect.js:5 is pre-existing header text this PR only reworded — not introduced here.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

Dead-code sweep across 28 files: unused static helpers in JSMIMEType.cpp, seven never-read members on ZigGlobalObject/NapiRef/BroadcastChannel/ExceptionOr, five unused macros, the HotReloadTaskView trait plus the unused reload parameter it existed to type-erase, three unused bun_core workspace deps, two constant build toggles in bundle-functions.ts, an isEventEmitter class option nothing reads, and three CI-script helpers. All pure deletions or constant-folds; the only signature change is HotReloaderCtx::reload(&mut self, _task) -> reload(&mut self), with all three implementors and the one call site updated in the diff.

Follow-up on prior review

My earlier pass left three nits. Commit 74e7d0f addressed them by (a) keeping bun_core::strings::rsplit_once rather than removing it (so the clippy.toml disallowed-methods reasons stay accurate), (b) deleting the stale second sentence on the HotReloadTask type-alias doc, and (c) rewording the node-inspect.js header to drop /format. Verified rsplit_once is still present at src/bun_core/string/immutable.rs:612 and the changed-files list no longer includes that file.

Security risks

None. Deletions only; no new inputs, no new code paths, no auth/crypto logic touched (the ncrypto.h/JSCipher.h edits remove an unused enum and two unused assert macros).

Level of scrutiny

Medium breadth, low per-change risk. Every C++ and Rust deletion is compile-verified (bun bd, cargo check --workspace, rust:check-all across 12 targets per the PR notes) — a stray reference would fail the link or the workspace deny lints. Spot-grepped m_JSMIMEParamsConstructor, m_JSMIMETypeConstructor, hasOverriddenModuleRunMain, sourceProviderMap, releaseOnWeaken, and isEventEmitter across src/ — zero hits, confirming the deletions.

Other factors

The github-actions comment-cop flag on node-inspect.js:5 fires on a five-line header that predates this PR; the diff only edits one word in it. Not a regression introduced here.

I reviewed this PR across three rounds and all prior feedback (stale comment references to format, rsplit_once, HotReloadTaskView, isOnline()) has been addressed; this run found nothing new. Because the sweep spans 30 files including ZigGlobalObject.h, GC-owned class members, and the HotReloaderCtx::reload trait signature, a maintainer glance would still be worthwhile.

Spot-checked this run:

  • Removed C++ members/macros (sourceProviderMap, hasOverriddenModuleRunMain, m_JSMIME*Constructor, releaseOnWeaken, m_contextId, m_wasReleased, UpdateResult, G_TRUE/G_FALSE, NCRYPTO_FAIL/NCRYPTO_ASSERT_EQUAL, BUN_WRAP_FWD_VOID) — no remaining references in src/.
  • JSMIMEType.cpp deleted helpers — JSMIMEParams.cpp has its own static copies, so serialization still works.
  • node/buffer.ts in hotRoots — file does not exist; aws.copyImage/docker.listContainers/tart.listVms — no callers in scripts/.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

Dead-code sweep removing ~270 lines across 30 files: unused C++ static helpers and members in src/jsc/bindings/ (JSMIMEType.cpp duplicates, ZigGlobalObject.h lazy-property slots and flags, NapiRef/ExceptionOr/BroadcastChannel fields, JSCipher enum, five macros), the Rust HotReloadTaskView trait and its unused reload parameter across three implementors, a commented-out napi stub, three unused bun_core Cargo dependencies, and assorted TypeScript/script dead code (REPL shim getters, codegen constants, a missing hot-root entry, CI helper methods, a constant ternary).

Security risks

None. Pure deletions of unreferenced symbols; no auth, crypto logic, input parsing, or trust boundaries touched. The ncrypto.h and SecretsLinux.cpp changes remove unused macros only.

Level of scrutiny

Medium-high. Each deletion is individually trivial to verify (grep for references), and the author documented an identifier-frequency + pub→pub(crate) methodology plus 12-target rust:check-all and a full bun bd. But the breadth — ZigGlobalObject.h (included nearly everywhere), a trait signature change threaded through VirtualMachine/BundleV2/the task dispatch site, and fields on GC-owned classes — puts this above the bar for auto-approval per the "large / touches critical code paths" guideline.

Other factors

Two prior review rounds flagged four stale-comment references left behind by deletions; all were fixed (commits 74e7d0f, 3fbaea6, 4d21053), and rsplit_once was restored rather than orphaning clippy.toml. This run's spot-checks (rg -w for every removed C++ member/macro, JSMIMEParams.cpp still owning the serialization helpers, src/js/node/buffer.ts absent, no scripts/ callers of the removed helpers) all confirm the deletions are dead. No test changes are expected — test/internal/source-lints/CLAUDE.md says not to test dead symbols. The remaining unused firstConnection local in websocket.ts predates this PR and is out of scope.

…cripts, bun_core, and bun_jsc

C++: delete six unused static helpers in JSMIMEType.cpp (JSMIMEParams.cpp
has its own copies), the never-read members sourceProviderMap,
hasOverriddenModuleRunMain, m_JSMIMEParamsConstructor,
m_JSMIMETypeConstructor, NapiRef::releaseOnWeaken,
BroadcastChannel::m_contextId and ExceptionOr::m_wasReleased, the two
isOnline() methods, the UpdateResult enum, and five unused macros.

Rust: delete bun_core::strings::rsplit_once, the HotReloadTaskView trait
and the reload parameters nothing read, a commented-out
napi_get_property_names stub, and the unused bun_core dependency of
bun_ast_jsc, bun_bundler_jsc and bun_patch_jsc.

TypeScript and scripts: delete two unread getters in
internal/repl/node-inspect, a hot root for a file that does not exist,
closest() and its disabled caller in cppbind.ts, the isEventEmitter class
option, the constant PARALLEL/KEEP_TMP branches in bundle-functions.ts, a
constant ternary in the HMR websocket client, and three unused CI script
helpers.

LGTM — all four stale-comment items from the earlier rounds are addressed (node-inspect header, HotReloadTask doc, both isOnline() references), and the rsplit_once deletion was correctly reverted.

What was reviewed:

  • Grepped every deleted C++ symbol (sourceProviderMap, hasOverriddenModuleRunMain, m_JSMIME*Constructor, releaseOnWeaken, m_wasReleased, m_contextId, isOnline, UpdateResult, the JSMIMEType static helpers, the five macros) — no remaining references; JSMIMEParams.cpp has its own copies of the MIME helpers as claimed.
  • Checked all four internal/repl/node-inspect importers — only inspect/getStringWidth/stripVTControlCharacters are read, so dropping format/formatWithOptions is safe.
  • Confirmed src/js/node/buffer.ts doesn't exist (hotRoots entry was dead), isEventEmitter/HotReloadTaskView have no remaining references, and the three script helpers have no callers in scripts/.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

Pure dead-code removal across ~30 files: unused C++ members/macros/static helpers in the JSC bindings (ZigGlobalObject, napi, ncrypto, ExceptionOr, BroadcastChannel, Worker/WorkerMessagingProxy, JSMIMEType, workaround-missing-symbols, SecretsLinux, JSCipher), an unused Rust trait (HotReloadTaskView) plus the parameter it existed to erase, three unused bun_core workspace deps, dead codegen toggles/helpers (PARALLEL/KEEP_TMP, closest, isEventEmitter, a hotRoots entry for a nonexistent file), two unread lazy getters in the node-inspect shim, a constant ternary in the bake HMR client, three unused CI-script helpers, and a commented-out napi stub. Net −253 lines, no intended behavior change. Two follow-up commits since the last review addressed every stale-comment item raised previously and reverted the rsplit_once deletion that would have broken clippy.toml's disallowed-methods guidance.

Security risks

None. Nothing touches auth, crypto logic, TLS, input validation, or permission boundaries. The ncrypto.h and JSCipher.h edits remove only unused assertion macros and an unreferenced enum — no live crypto paths change. SecretsLinux.cpp drops two never-used #define constants. All deletions are of code with zero call sites; no defaults or guards are weakened.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate, front-loaded on verifying "unused" is actually true. I grepped every deleted identifier across src/ and scripts/ and found zero remaining references (macro-expanded lazy-property members on ZigGlobalObject were the main risk — token-pasting could hide a use — but neither m_JSMIMEParamsConstructor nor m_JSMIMETypeConstructor appears anywhere). The node-inspect getter removal was checked against all four importers. src/js/node/buffer.ts was confirmed nonexistent, so the hotRoots entry was a no-op. The reload() signature change was traced to all three call sites (VirtualMachine inherent, both HotReloaderCtx impls, and the Task::run caller), all updated consistently. CODEOWNERS covers none of the changed paths.

Other factors

This is the third review pass; the two prior rounds flagged only stale comments and a clippy.toml reference, all of which the follow-up commits fixed exactly as requested. The PR description's methodology (pub→pub(crate) narrowing on a scratch branch + cargo check on both linux/windows, identifier-frequency scan for C++/TS confirmed per-symbol with rg -w) is sound, and the "left alone with reason" list shows the sweep distinguished genuinely dead code from intentionally-unused API surface. The author reports cargo check --workspace, bun run rust:check-all (12 targets), bun bd, and the relevant test suites pass. Given every deletion is independently verifiable as unreferenced and no logic paths change, this is safe to land without further human review.

### Problem
- The workspace denies `dead_code` and `unreachable_pub`, and earlier
sweeps removed the `pub` items a cross-crate analysis can see. What is
left is code no lint reports: branches behind constant conditions, `pub`
enum variants that nothing constructs, `pub` struct fields that nothing
reads, and commented-out code.
- The largest case is the js lexer: `LexerType` carried seven const
generic parameters for a JSON mode (`IS_JSON`, `ALLOW_COMMENTS`, ...)
that no caller ever set. The only instantiation is the default one, so
every `if IS_JSON` body in `src/js_parser/lexer.rs` was unreachable.
JSON is parsed by `src/parsers/json.rs`.

### Fix
- Delete the items. 83 source files, +221 / -1653. Every candidate was
checked with `rg` over `src/`, `build/debug/codegen/` and
`src/codegen/`, including `#[cfg(windows)]` and macOS paths. The Notes
list each one.
- The lexer becomes a plain `struct Lexer<'a>`: the `JsonOptionsT`
trait, the `NewLexer` alias, the `lexer_impl_header!` macro and the
`generic_const_exprs` feature gate go with the JSON branches. The only
JS-visible change is none: the default instantiation was the only one.
- `bun_runtime::Error` loses 85 unit variants that are never built (the
X509 codes live in `bun_http::CertError`; `InstallFailed` and friends
are only ever nested as `Error::Install(..)`). The `AllocatorVTable`
keeps only `free`, the one slot `StdAllocator` dispatches.
- New source lint
`test/internal/source-lints/literal-bool-condition.test.ts`: a
statement-level `if true {` / `if false {` outside `#[cfg(test)]` code
fails the lint. rustc and clippy accept both, so the dead `if false {
break 'outer; }` in `doStep5.rs` and the always-taken `if true {` block
in `Watcher.rs` (unwrapped here) had no other guard. The lint fails on
`main` with those two lines and passes with this PR.
- Verified: `bun bd`, `bun run rust:check-all` (12 targets), `cargo
clippy --workspace`, `cargo check --workspace --tests`, `cargo fmt
--check`. `bun bd test` on transpiler, bundler edge cases, shell, yaml,
zstd, transpiler cache, `Bun.write`, `Bun.file`, sourcemap, resolver
cache, WebSocket client, `bun add`/`bun remove`, lockfile sync, archive,
`bun:test`, `--watch`, and the source lints (about 2,700 tests, 0
failures attributable to this change; see Notes).

### Background
- `dead_code` does not report a `pub` item, a trait impl, an enum
variant that a `match` arm names, or a field that a compound assignment
(`+=`) touches. Each of those counts as a use to rustc even when nothing
reads the result.
- A `const bool` that is the same in every build (`const ALLOW_TMPFILE:
bool = false`, a trait const no impl overrides, a const generic no
caller sets) makes one side of its `if` unreachable, but rustc still
type-checks and keeps that side. The removed branches are all of this
kind. Flags that vary per build (`IS_WINDOWS`, `IS_DEBUG`,
`ENABLE_ASAN`) and the debug toggles (`TRACING`, `VERBOSE_FS`-style
logging switches that still have a body) were left alone.
- `BunBuiltinNames.h` entries and JS private names can be referenced by
string (`$getByIdDirectPrivate(this, "writer")`), so a name with no
`$name` hit is not dead. Two such candidates were checked and kept.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

Removed, constant conditions:

- `src/js_parser/lexer.rs`: the 7 const generic parameters of
`LexerType`, the `JsonOptionsT` trait, `DefaultJsonOptions`, the
`NewLexer` alias and the `lexer_impl_header!` macro. 30 `if IS_JSON`
bodies, `assert_not_json` and its 13 calls, the `is_ascii_only` field
(only written in JSON mode), `Error::JSONStringsMustUseDoubleQuotes`,
and the `if !FeatureFlags::ALLOW_JSON_SINGLE_QUOTES` block.
`src/js_parser/lib.rs` drops `#![feature(adt_const_params,
generic_const_exprs)]`, which nothing else in the crate used.
- `src/bun_core/feature_flags.rs`: `ENABLE_ENTRY_CACHE` (always true:
the "cache disabled" tails of `read_directory_error` and
`read_directory_with_iterator` in `src/resolver/lib.rs`), `VERBOSE_FS`
(always false: two `prettyln!` blocks in `src/resolver/fs.rs` and the
`bstr::BStr` import), `HARDCODE_LOCALHOST_TO_127_0_0_1` (always false:
the rewrite in `HTTPContext::connect` and `WebSocketUpgradeClient`),
`ALLOW_JSON_SINGLE_QUOTES` (only read by the lexer JSON mode).
- `src/sys/tmp.rs`: `ALLOW_TMPFILE = false` with the `O_TMPFILE` open
and `linkat` paths and the `using_tmpfile` field.
`RuntimeTranspilerCache.rs` always unlinks the tmp name on failure now,
which is what the `!using_tmpfile` guard already did. The non-Linux
`O::TMPFILE` consts and `linkat_tmpfile` stubs in `src/sys/lib.rs` had
no other caller (`src/install/npm.rs` uses them under `cfg(linux)`).
- `src/libarchive/lib.rs`: `ArchiveAppender::HAS_APPEND_MUTABLE`, no
impl overrides the `false` default. With it: `append_mutable`, the `if
A::HAS_APPEND_MUTABLE` block, `Context::all_files`, `EntryMap`,
`U64Context` and its two impls, and the `all_files` initializer in
`create_command.rs`.
- `src/bundler/linker_context/doStep5.rs`: `if false { break 'outer; }`
and the label. `src/watcher/Watcher.rs`: an `if true {` block around the
"Added to watch list" log, unwrapped.
- `src/io/PipeWriter.rs`: `PosixStreamingWriterParent::HAS_ON_READY`,
set by both impls (the macro and `Terminal.rs`), read by nothing.

Removed, enum variants nothing constructs (each with its `name()` arm
and match arms):

- `bun_runtime::Error` (`src/runtime/error.rs`): `Panic`,
`RequestBodyNotReusable`, `DNSResolveFailed`, `TooManyRedirects`,
`ConnectionRefused`, `RedirectURLInvalid`, the 66 X509 verification
codes from `UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT` to
`UNKNOWN_CERTIFICATE_VERIFICATION_ERROR`, `InstallFailed`,
`InvalidPackageJSON`, `PathAlreadyExists`, `InvalidTarget`,
`OpenFailed`, `UnableToDecode`, `SocketClosed`, `StackOverflow`, `Test`,
`MissingTranspileExtra`, `PluginError`, `Name`, `EscapeCalledTwice`. The
or-patterns in `install_command.rs`, `pm_update_package_json.rs` and
`jsc_hooks.rs` keep their live alternatives.
- `bun_core::strings::BOM::{Utf16Be, Utf32Le, Utf32Be}`: `detect()` only
returns `Utf8` and `Utf16Le`. With them: the three byte-pattern consts,
the `_ =>` arms in the two `remove_and_convert_*` functions, and the
commented-out detection lines.
- `bun_shell_parser`: `Token::{Dollar, Eq}` and `TokenTag::{Dollar, Eq}`
(the lexer never pushes them), with the `TestToken` mirrors and JSON
arms in `src/runtime/shell/shell_body.rs`.
- `ShellErr::Todo` (`shell_body.rs`, `Builtin.rs`),
`bun_crash_handler::Error::InvalidDebugInfo` (patterns in
`crash_handler/lib.rs` and `jsc/btjs.rs`) and the
`bun_jsc::Error::InvalidDebugInfo` mirror,
`FetchFlags::PrintSourceAndClone` (`ModuleLoader.rs`, arm in
`jsc_hooks.rs`), yaml `ParseError::InvalidIndentation` and the
`ParseResultError::InvalidIndentation` it alone produced,
`bun_sourcemap::Error::Unknown`.

Removed, fields nothing reads:

- `AllocatorVTable::{alloc, resize, remap}` (`src/bun_alloc/lib.rs`):
only `free` is ever dispatched. With them:
`NO_ALLOC`/`NO_RESIZE`/`NO_REMAP`, `MimallocAllocator` and its four
functions in `basic.rs`, `default_alloc::{malloc_aligned,
realloc_aligned}` and `Alignment::to_byte_units`.
- `ArgumentsSlice::all` (`src/jsc/CallFrame.rs`),
`ParseTask::tree_shaking` (`src/bundler/ParseTask.rs`, 11 writers in
`bundle_v2.rs`; the parser reads `topts.tree_shaking`),
`JSMeta::entry_point_part_index` (`LinkerGraph.rs`, written in
`scanImportsAndExports.rs`), `NetworkSink::high_water_mark`
(`streams.rs`, `s3/client.rs`, with the `part_size` locals that fed it),
`CopyFile::read_off`, the POSIX `ReadFile::byte_store`,
`file_sink::Options::close`, `ZstdReaderArrayList::total_out`,
`Cloner::trees_count`.

Removed, commented-out code older than six months (blame on the line, or
on the Zig line the port copied):

- C++: `ImportMetaObject.cpp`, `InspectorHTTPServerAgent.cpp`,
`JSDOMExceptionHandling.cpp`, `ncrypto.cpp`, `KeyObject.cpp`,
`EventTarget.cpp`, `JSPerformanceEntryCustom.cpp`, `MessageEvent.h`
(plus a duplicate `#include "MessagePort.h"`), `Performance.cpp`,
`Performance.h`, `PerformanceEntry.cpp`, `PerformanceObserver.cpp`,
`PerformanceResourceTiming.cpp`, `WebSocket.cpp`.
- Rust: `AstBuilder.rs`, `postProcessCSSChunk.rs`,
`postProcessJSChunk.rs`, `crash_handler/lib.rs`, `css/declaration.rs`,
`css/selectors/selector.rs`, `css/values/percentage.rs`,
`WebSocketUpgradeClient.rs`, `lexer.rs`, `parse_fn.rs`, `visit_expr.rs`,
`paths/resolve_path.rs`, `exec_command.rs`, `braces.rs`,
`sha_hmac/sha.rs`, `StaticHashMap.rs`, `ffi_body.rs`.
- `.classes.ts`: disabled entries in `sql.classes.ts`,
`sockets.classes.ts`, `server.classes.ts`, `jest.classes.ts`; a leftover
loop in `generate_uv_posix_stubs.ts`.

Declaration-only C++:
`CryptoKeyOKP::platformExportSpki/platformExportPkcs8`,
`JSX509Certificate::getPublicKey`, `KeyPairJobCtx::deinit`,
`BunShell`/`ShellError` in `BunObject.h`.

Checked and kept: `Terminal::get_slave_fd` (used by
`js_bun_spawn_bindings.rs`), `macro(writer)` and `macro(mockedFunction)`
in `BunBuiltinNames.h` (`$getByIdDirectPrivate(this, "writer")` in
`ConsoleObject.ts`, `BunCommonStrings.h`), css `Segment::Name` and
`CssModuleExport::is_referenced` (lightningcss data model), the
react_compiler variants and fields that mirror the upstream schema,
`Mode::ProductionDynamic` (bake scaffolding), the MySQL protocol fields
that mirror the wire format, the debug toggles `LOG_ALLOCATIONS`,
`DISABLE_COMPRESSION_IN_HTTP_CLIENT`, crash handler `ENABLE`,
`ENABLE_AUTO_CORK`/`ENABLE_ALLOCATOR_POOL`, and the wasm scaffolding
behind `IS_WASM`/`IS_BROWSER`.

Test runs: `test/js/web/fetch/fetch.test.ts` fails the same 26 tests
with the released `bun` in this container (root user, no network).
`Bun.write > copyFileRange is not available > on large files` hits its 5
s timeout under the ASAN debug build while filling a 256 MB buffer in
JS; the copy itself takes 0.6 s and the hash matches.

This PR repeats no deletion of the open dead-code PRs (#39929, #40122,

Co-authored-by: Jarred Sumner <jarred@jarredsumner.com>
Jarred-Sumner pushed a commit that referenced this pull request Sep 25, 2026
### Problem
- `hasExportStar` in `src/runtime/bake/hmr-module.ts` has no caller. Its
only call site is a block that #18109 commented out on 2025-03-14. The
`availableExportKeys` local above that block is read only by the
commented-out code.
- `firstConnection` in `src/runtime/bake/client/websocket.ts` is
assigned once and never read.
- No lint reports them. Earlier sweeps ran `tsc --noUnusedLocals` over
`src/js` and `scripts` only, not over `src/runtime/bake`.

### Fix
- Delete `hasExportStar`, the commented-out check,
`availableExportKeys`, and `firstConnection`. 2 files, 40 lines removed.
- Correct because the bundler already drops `hasExportStar`. The
generated `bake.client.js`, `bake.server.js` and `bake.error.js` differ
from `main` only by the two removed local declarations.
- Verified: `tsc -p src/runtime/bake/tsconfig.json --noUnusedLocals` no
longer reports either file. `test/bake/dev/esm.test.ts` (17 pass),
`hot.test.ts` (11 pass) and `bundle.test.ts` (23 pass) with the debug
build.

Behaviour change: none

### Background
- `hmr-module.ts` is the module loader that the dev server sends to the
browser and to the SSR realm. `parseEsmDependencies` walks the
dependency list of an ES module. Each entry carries the export names
that the importer uses.
- The removed check compared those names with the exports of the
dependency and threw a `SyntaxError` for a missing one. It has been off
for 18 months. A missing export fails at the use site.
- A deletion has one possible place, so no other design was weighed.

### Downsides
- The commented-out check was the only sketch of export verification in
the HMR runtime. A person who wants to build it starts from the history
of #18109.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

#### Why this run is small
Every other hit of this run is live, is platform code with a user on
another target, or is a line that one of the 34 open dead-code pull
requests already deletes. Each removed line here was checked against
those diffs. #40492 and #43378 touch `websocket.ts` in other hunks.

#### Scans of this run, all clean or already claimed
- Debug objects linked again with `--gc-sections --print-gc-sections`,
then `llvm-symbolizer` for `file:line`. 20,668 discarded functions in
bun's objects. The Rust ones outside macros and trait impls are Windows
or macOS helpers, or claimed (#40824, #40557, #40232). The C++ ones are
claimed, are template instantiations, or have a Rust caller on another
target (`bsd_socket_export`, `posix_spawnattr_reset_signals`).
- Rust functions that never get a symbol (generic or `#[inline]`, never
instantiated), found by comparing every `fn` line with the DWARF
declaration lines of all emitted functions. 86 hits outside `cfg`, trait
impls and `#[inline(always)]`. All are Windows-only, test-only (the
outbound half of `api/bun/h2/connection.rs`), or claimed.
- `clang -fsyntax-only -Wunused-function -Wunused-macros
-Wunused-template -Wunused-member-function` over 588 translation units
and the 69 unified ones (the build passes `-Wno-unused-function`). 3
functions and 6 macros.
`formatStackTraceToJSValueWithoutPrepareStackTrace`, `hostName`,
`G_TRUE`, `G_FALSE`, `MAX_LABELS` and `us_ioctl` are claimed (#40367,
#43378, #40492, #40294). `us_quic_send_one` is used under the non-Linux
`#if` branch.
- A whole-program C++ reference index (`c-index-test -index-file`, 657
translation units, 32,018 symbols declared in bun's tree). 8,711 have no
recorded reference. After filters for template-dependent uses, `extern
"C"`, virtual methods and names that WebKit headers use, 78 remain. All
are index artifacts (typedef struct tags, primary templates with used
specializations, `requires` clauses) or one-line getters in files that
open pull requests rewrite.
- `tsc --noUnusedLocals` over `src/js`, `scripts`, `src/codegen`,
`src/runtime/bake`, `src/node-fallbacks` and the sources of each
package. The hits outside this change are claimed (#40122, #41169,
#41385, #40492, #43778) or are loop variables.
- Regex scans for struct fields with no read and for `bool` or `Option`
fields that only ever get one constant. Nothing new after #43745.
- Exports of `src/js` modules and builtin functions with no mention in
another file: none.
- Files that nothing includes, imports or names: none outside `.idl`
copies (#41064). `src/symbols.txt`, `symbols.def` and the `package.json`
scripts name nothing that is gone. No `#if 0`.

Jarred-Sumner pushed a commit that referenced this pull request Sep 26, 2026
… and the CI pipeline script (#43976)

Behaviour change: none

### Problem
- Eleven files hold items that nothing reads or calls: write-only
fields, an uncalled method, four unused types, and CI options that are
parsed and dropped.
- No tool reports them. C and C++ have no dead-code lint. TypeScript
counts `x += n` as a read. The Rust types come from a macro.

### Fix
- TypeScript: remove `DataViewReader.u16()`, `DataViewWriter.capacity`,
the `totalCount` local in `updateBuildErrorOverlay`, and a commented-out
block from 2024 in `src/js/node/dgram.ts`.
- C and C++: remove `us_udp_socket_t.connected`,
`us_quic_stream_s.headers_delivered` and `Http2ResponseData::totalSize`
(each is only written), and `#undef FD_BITS` (nothing defines it).
- Rust and CI: remove the opaque types `us_loop_t`,
`us_socket_context_t`, `us_udp_socket_t`, `us_udp_packet_buffer_t` from
`src/uws_sys/lib.rs`. In `.buildkite/ci.ts`, remove `dryRun`,
`Platform.features`, four emoji entries, and the union members
`"amazonlinux"` and `"eol"`.
- Verified: `rg -w` for each symbol over `src`, `packages`, `scripts`,
`test` and `build/debug/codegen` finds no other use. `bun bd`, `bun run
rust:check-all` (12 targets) and `tsc` pass. Self-reviewed: 1 concern
raised, 1 addressed.

### Background
- `DataViewReader` and `DataViewWriter` decode and encode the binary
messages between the dev server and its browser client.
- `us_udp_socket_t` and `us_quic_stream_s` are private C structs of
uSockets. Rust holds them as opaque pointers, so no Rust struct mirrors
their layout.
- `bun_core::opaque_extern!` declares a zero-sized Rust type for a C
struct. Rust code names `Loop`, `udp::Socket` and `udp::PacketBuffer`,
not the four removed types.

### Downsides
- None found. Checked each removed symbol for users in Rust, C, C++,
TypeScript, generated code, tests, and open pull requests.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

**Evidence per removal**

| Item | Evidence |
| --- | --- |
| `DataViewReader.u16()` | `rg '\.u16\('` over `src/runtime/bake`,
`test/bake`, `test/cli/inspect`: no hit. |
| `DataViewWriter.capacity` | The only hit of `.capacity` in the bake
TypeScript is the assignment in the constructor. `initCapacity` is the
only caller of the constructor. |
| `totalCount` | Two hits: the declaration and one `+=`. |
| `dgram.ts` block | `git blame`: 589f941, 2024-04-26.
`replaceHandle` and `startListening` are not defined in the file. |
| `us_udp_socket_t.connected` | Two hits, both `udp->connected = 0;`. |
| `us_quic_stream_s.headers_delivered` | Two hits in `quic.c`: the field
and one `= 1`. The struct is private to `quic.c`. |
| `Http2ResponseData::totalSize` | One member access: `data.totalSize =
totalSize;`. The other hits of `totalSize` are the function parameter. |
| `#undef FD_BITS` | The only hit of `FD_BITS` in `src` and `packages`.
|
| Four opaque types | Each name has one non-comment hit in all Rust
sources and generated Rust: the macro call. |
| `dryRun` | Four hits in `ci.ts`: the field, two assignments, one
destructure. Nothing reads the binding. |
| `Platform.features` | One hit. |
| Emoji, `Distro`, `Tier` entries | No platform in `ci.ts` or image in
`scripts/build/ci-images/spec.ts` carries them. `Emoji` is `keyof typeof
emojiMap`, so a remaining caller would fail `tsc -p
scripts/tsconfig.json`. It passes. |

**Taken out because an open pull request uses or removes the item**

- `DataViewWriter.u8()`: dead on main, but #42075 adds its first caller
(`check.u8(IncomingMessageId.check_errors)` in `hmr-runtime-error.ts`).
Git merges the two without a conflict, so the method stays. The tree
that results from a merge of this branch with #42075 has no type error
for `u8`.
- `declare module "bun:wrap"` in `bake.private.d.ts`: no importer, but
#39488 already has the same hunk.

**Tests run with the debug build, all pass**

`test/js/bun/udp/udp_socket.test.ts` (218),
`test/js/bun/udp/dgram.test.ts` (62),
`test/js/bun/http/serve-http2.test.ts` (93),
`test/js/bun/http/serve-http3.test.ts` (73),
`test/bake/dev/bundle.test.ts` (23), `test/bake/dev/esm.test.ts` (17),
`test/bake/hmr-socket-protocol.test.ts` (4),
`test/cli/inspect/BunFrontendDevServer.test.ts` (7).
`test/js/node/dgram/node-dgram.test.js` passes 3 of 4: the IPv6
multicast test fails with `ENODEV` in the test container, with and
without this change. `prettier` and `cargo fmt --check` report no
change.

**Overlap with open pull requests**

Each removed line was compared with the diffs of the 35 open dead-code
pull requests. None removes the same lines. Five files are also touched
by an open pull request, in hunks more than 6 lines away: `internal.h`
and `quic.c` (#40294, #42431), `dgram.ts` (#42431), `overlay.ts`
(#43378, #42075, #39488), `src/uws_sys/lib.rs` (#43010). The added lines
of the 122 open pull requests that were updated since 2026-09-18 and
touch the bake, uSockets, uWS, uws_sys, server, socket or CI sources
name none of the removed symbols.

**What was scanned**

- C and C++: the debug binary was linked a second time with
`--gc-sections`, and the two symbol tables were compared. 414 functions
in bun's own C and C++ are unreachable on Linux. Open pull requests
remove 263 of them. The remainder is in the list below, has a caller on
Windows or macOS, or comes from a macro.
- Rust: 37 `#[no_mangle]` exports are unreachable in the Linux link.
Each has a caller on another platform, or #40824, #40232 or #40557
removes it. A count of references for all 58,055 Rust definitions found
no other item without a user. Of the 144 `allow` attributes for the
unused and unreachable lints, each covers code that depends on `cfg` or
is macro output.
- Cargo: five dependency edges are unused on all 12 targets. #40294
removes three. `bun_resolver -> bun_zstd` is used under
`cfg(bun_codegen_embed)`. `bun_wyhash -> bstr` is used by unit tests.
- Preprocessor: `USE(BIGINT32)` and `ENABLE(MALLOC_BREAKDOWN)` are never
true. #43644 and #40557 remove those branches.
- Also scanned and clean: `src/js`, `src/node-fallbacks`, `src/codegen`,
`scripts/`, `misctools/`, `patches/` (every patch file has a user),
`packages/` except `bun-types`.

**Probably dead, left alone on purpose**

- The `PerformanceResourceTiming` cluster under
`src/jsc/bindings/webcore` (about 2,000 lines:
`PerformanceResourceTiming`, `PerformanceServerTiming`,
`ResourceTiming`, `NetworkLoadMetrics`, `ResourceLoadTiming`,
`ServerTiming` and the two JS wrappers). The linker drops every
constructor, so no instance can exist. The two globals are public and
`test/js/web/web-globals.test.js` checks them. This needs a decision:
keep it for a future resource-timing implementation, or reduce it to the
two constructors.
- `WEBCORE_GENERATED_CONSTRUCTOR_GETTER` (`ZigGlobalObject.cpp`) emits
an `X_getter` function for 50 classes. 45 have no user. A removal needs
a second macro and saves no source lines.
- The WebIDL converters for `byte`, `short` and `long long`, and most
`Clamp` and `EnforceRange` specializations in `JSDOMConvertNumbers.cpp`.
No binding uses them, but `src/codegen/bindgen.ts` maps `t.i8`, `t.i16`
and `t.i64` to them.
- `src/js/bun/sql.ts`: the export properties `sql`, `Query`, `postgres`
and the four error classes. Native code reads only `default` and `SQL`.
It is not certain that no loader path exposes the module object.
- `us_nq_settings_set_scid_len` and `us_nq_settings_set_delay_onclose`
(`node_quic_shim.c`, declared in `src/lsquic_sys/lib.rs`): no caller.
`node:quic` is under active work.
- `Event::currentTargetIsInShadowTree()` and its bit: no reader. The
lines sit next to a hunk of #39929.
- Bake client: `WebSocketWrapper.close()` and `[Symbol.dispose]()`,
`streamingStarted`, the `line` and `column` bookkeeping and seven enum
members in `JavaScriptSyntaxHighlighter.ts`, and `externals` in
`src/node-fallbacks/build-fallbacks.ts`. Each sits next to a hunk of
#43378, #40492, #40122 or #41385.
- The `internal: true` property option of the class generator. A guard
throws on it, so the branches behind it cannot run. Five open pull
requests touch `generate-classes.ts`.
- `H2App::getNativeHandle` (next to a hunk of #41195) and
`uws_app_listen_config_t` (its last user goes with #42431).
- `UWS_ALLOW_SHARED_AND_DEDICATED_COMPRESSOR_MIX`,
`UWS_ALLOW_8_WINDOW_BITS` and `LIBUS_NO_SSL`: never defined, but they
are documented opt-in switches of the upstream libraries.
- `scripts/debug-coredump.ts`, `scripts/gamble.ts`,
`scripts/github-metrics.ts`, `scripts/lldb-inline.sh` with
`scripts/lldb-inline-tool.cpp`, and `packages/h3blast`: nothing
references them. They read as tools that a person runs by hand.
- #40232 removes `napi_internal_get_version`. #42556 renamed that
function to `Bun__napi_get_version` on main, and it still has no caller.
