Validate required and integer generator arguments.
If outdir is absent, join(outdir, "tools") throws a path type error instead of showing the documented usage. If N is fractional or non-positive, the tool-file loop and Array.from() can generate different module sets. Reject invalid outdir, N, and K values before creating files.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Rotate the variant order for each runtime round.
Each round runs built in the same order. CPU frequency, cache state, and thermal state can then consistently bias later variants. Rotate the starting index by i, or use a deterministic shuffle, so each variant runs in each position.

Compare the complete generated result.
out_len can match when different Tool modules or operation results execute. The runner can then report metrics for non-equivalent variants. Emit a stable complete-result value from bench/split-require/gen.ts and compare it here.

this should be stmt or require, require_resolve shouldn't be considered here and it should only apply when target is bun. I would instead make this a helper method like import.import_kind.can_be_lazy_chunk(is_bun_target)

Done: ImportKind::can_be_lazy_chunk(target_is_bun) (Dynamic always, Require only for a Bun-side importer, nothing else), used both in find_reachable_files and here. Here the importer's side is checked per chunk (output_files[chunk].side != Client), so the browser chunks an HTML import adds to a server build never treat a require edge as lazy; upstream they can't get one anyway since CROSS_CHUNK_REQUIRE is set per importing file's target.
… edges get their own lazily loaded chunk find_reachable_files and the --compile load order both open-coded it (the latter as `!= Stmt`, which also matched require.resolve). require() qualifies only for a Bun-side importer; the load-order walk checks the importing chunk's side so browser chunks of an HTML-importing server build are unaffected.
…-safely In a require cycle $requireESM now returns the namespace of a module that is still evaluating; an export literally named __esModule or "module.exports" that is still in TDZ made require() itself throw where it previously returned the placeholder.

…parts (#40581) ### What does this PR do? With `--splitting`, chunk membership was assigned per *reachable file*, so a file whose every part was removed by tree shaking (e.g. `export function dead(){}` imported only for side effects it doesn't have) still created — or joined — a chunk containing nothing but the banner and `export{};`. Two such chunks have byte-identical content and therefore the same `[hash]`, and the build fails with **"Multiple files share the same output path"**. esbuild builds chunks from live parts; this does the same by skipping part-less files when assigning chunks, so the empty chunk and the bare `import "./chunk-….js"` its importers carried are simply not emitted. Pre-existing (the repro below fails on 1.4.0 as well); recent splitting changes (#40519, #40518) just make real apps more likely to produce two of them. ``` entry.js: import('./a.js'); import('./b.js'); import('./e.js') a.js: import './c.js'; import './d.js' b.js: import './c.js' e.js: import './d.js' c.js/d.js: export function dead() {} → two empty chunks, same [hash] ``` ### How did you verify your code works? New `splitting/NoChunkForFilesWithNoLiveParts` (fails on system bun, passes here); `bundler_splitting`, `esbuild/splitting`, `bundler_compile_splitting`, `bundler_html`, `esbuild/dce`, `bundler_edgecase`, `bake/dev-and-prod` green (352 tests).

… preceded by the key (#40660) ### What does this PR do? Widens rule 1 of `mergeSmallChunks` (#40506), the always-on fold of code-splitting chunks that are loaded under the same conditions. Rule 1 drops an `import()` entry `D` from a chunk key when `D` can never be the first thing loaded among the key's entries. #40506 required a single entry to precede `D` on every path (`guaranteed[D]`, the intersection over `D`'s importers). That never fires when the same module is `import()`ed from two places that don't have a common ancestor: with two entries `main` and `repl` that both `import("./cmd")`, the `{main, repl, cmd}` chunk is loaded exactly when the `{main, repl}` chunk is (whichever way `cmd` loads, `main` or `repl` came first), but `guaranteed[cmd] = {main} ∩ {repl} = ∅` kept the two chunks apart. The new rule is per key: `D` is redundant when no importer of `D` can be reached from a process root through `import()`s without passing through the key. Roots are the entries nothing is known to precede: user entries, `require()` targets (#40519), entries with an importer that may be mid-evaluation at a top-level await, and entries nothing imports. `load_class` walks the `import()` graph from the roots outside the key, stopping at the key's entries, and drops each key entry none of whose importers was reached. The guarantor may differ per path, which is the only change in what is folded; importer cycles behind the key (lazy pages that `import()` each other) fold as before, and a key whose entries only `import()` each other is left alone. The walk is a single pass per distinct chunk key over an epoch-stamped scratch array, so its cost is proportional to what the roots reach, not to the number of entries. A first cut that rescanned every entry to a fixpoint per key took 448 s on a 3000-entry `import()` chain that `main` bundles in 1.2 s; this version takes 0.85 s on it. A self-`import()` is dropped from an entry's importers up front, so an entry that also imports itself is treated like any other. ### Measurements A real ~2400-module CLI compiled with `--compile --splitting --bytecode` (macOS arm64, release builds; `main` is 65362b5): | | main | this PR | |---|---|---| | chunks | 2,368 | 2,148 | | cross-chunk `import` statements | 208,916 | 163,302 | | chunks statically reachable from the main screen's `import()` | 692 | 530 | | executable size | 311.5 MB | 309.1 MB | Startup (interleaved runs, medians): the `import()` of the main screen 45.0 → 42.0 ms in the interactive path (15 runs) and 79.2 → 69.7 ms in the headless path (20 runs); time to first render 388 → 372 ms (hyperfine, 20 runs). Peak `phys_footprint` at first render 247 → 242 MB, within run-to-run noise. Bundling the CLI takes the same ~5.8 s. Synthetic graphs (3000 `import()` entries + 3000 shared modules, `bun build --splitting --target=bun`, hyperfine 5 runs): random importers 327 → 326 ms, a chain of entries 1.16 → 0.85 s. ### How did you verify your code works? - `test/bundler/bundler_splitting.test.ts`: new `FoldsChunkWhoseImportersTheKeyCovers` (`cmd` is `import()`ed from `main` and from a lazy module only `repl` loads; fails on `main` with 6 outputs, passes with 5) and `FoldsChunkBehindDynamicImportCycle` (`main → x ⇄ y`, `x → d`; the `{main, d}` chunk folds into `main.js` as on `main`), plus the existing 57 tests. - `test/bundler/bundler_compile_splitting.test.ts` (19) and `test/bundler/esbuild/splitting.test.ts` (26) pass. - Ran the compiled CLI above from both builds and compared chunk layout from the metafile and startup timings. --------- Co-authored-by: Jarred Sumner <jarred@jarredsumner.com> Co-authored-by: autofix-ci[bot] <114827586+autofix-ci[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

#32557) ### What does this PR do? Tree-shakes the exports of a module that is loaded with a string-literal `import()` or `require()` down to the names the program can actually observe. The parser records, for every `import("x")` / `require("x")` call, how its result is consumed. When every use of a call's result is one of the recognized shapes below, the set of property names read off it is attached to the import record. The linker unions those sets per importee (together with what static importers need) and, when the union is not "everything", narrows the importee's exported-names list. Whatever falls out of that list is no longer referenced by the namespace object / chunk export clause, so normal tree-shaking removes it along with anything only it depended on. Nothing about *how* the module is loaded changes. The `import()` still evaluates lazily behind its `__esm` wrapper (no `--splitting`) or as its own chunk (`--splitting`); `require()` is still synchronous. The parser does not rewrite or hoist anything, so evaluation order, top-level await, `try`/`catch` around the import, thenable importees and external specifiers behave exactly as written. This is deliberately *not* Rollup's `inlineDynamicImports`. #### Recognized shapes (narrowed) ```js const { a, b: c, d = 1, ...rest } = await import("./x") // a, b, d (+ whatever is read off rest.*) (await import("./x")).a // a const ns = await import("./x"); ns.a; ns["b"]; const { c } = ns // a, b, c export const { a } = await import("./x") // a (kept even though never read locally) import("./x").then(({ a }) => …) // a import("./x").then(ns => ns.a) // a import("./x").then(() => …) // nothing const [{ a }, ns] = await Promise.all([import("./x"), import("./y"), other]) // per element Promise.all([import("./x"), …]).then(([{ a }]) => …) import("./x"); await import("./x"); await import("./x").catch(…) // nothing (side effects only) const { a } = require("./x"); require("./x").a; const ns = require("./x"); ns.a require("./x"); // nothing ``` `let`/`var` destructuring, nested patterns (`{ a: { b } }` keeps `a`), string-literal and duplicate keys and default values are handled. A destructured local that is never read does not keep its export (unless a direct `eval` in scope or a hoisting merge could read it). A namespace local that the minifier inlines into its single use is treated as escaping. Always kept in addition to the recorded names: `then` for `import()` targets (the `await` itself calls it if present) and `module.exports` for `require()` targets (that is what `require()` of an ES module returns when present). #### Not narrowed (importee keeps every export) - The namespace escapes: passed or returned anywhere (`() => import("./x")`, `return await import("./x")`, `f(ns)`, `export default await import("./x")`, `export { ns }`), stored, spread, iterated, called, `Object.keys(ns)`, optional chaining `ns?.a`, computed access `ns[k]` (including constant ones), assignment through it, a spread inside `Promise.all([...])`. - `.then(function (ns) { … })` (a non-arrow can reach the namespace through `arguments`), `.then((...ns) => …)`. - A `var`-declared namespace local, a namespace or `require()` local referenced before its declaration, locals merged by hoisting, an exported `...rest`, direct `eval` in scope. - CommonJS importees (their `default`/named interop is synthesized from the export list itself), and any importee some importer reaches with `import * as ns` (used as a value) or `export * from`. Only the first level of an `export * as ns` barrel is narrowed. - User-specified entry points always export everything. One accepted divergence from unbundled semantics (shared with rolldown, and with esbuild's handling of static `import * as ns; ns.f()`): a function called *through* the namespace — `(await import("./x")).f()`, `ns.f()`, `require("./x").f()` — receives the narrowed namespace object as `this`, so an export reached only via `this.other` inside `f` is not seen. #### Interaction with `"sideEffects": false` A bare `import("./x");` / `await import("./x");` observes none of `x`'s exports. `x` itself is still evaluated (its own top-level side effects run once, matching webpack/rspack's `side-effect-free-dynamic-import` cases); what changes is that a `"sideEffects": false` module `x` merely *re-exports from* is no longer pulled in when none of those re-exports are observed. Previously the dynamic target kept every export and therefore dragged those in; three edge-case tests from #12758 change expectation accordingly. #### `require()` with `--splitting --target=bun` #40519 made `require()` of an ES module a chunk boundary (`import.meta.require("./chunk.js")`). The same narrowing applies to those chunks, so `require("./x").Foo` / `const { Foo } = require("./x")` only keep `Foo` (and `module.exports`) in the split-out chunk. Without `--splitting`, the wrapped ES module's `exports_x` object is narrowed the same way. #### Also - With `--splitting`, an `import("./data.json", { with: { type: "json" } })` whose target became a chunk no longer keeps the import attributes on the rewritten `import("./chunk.js")` (the runtime parsed the chunk as JSON); external targets keep them. - Fixes tsconfig `paths` substitution when the `*` is not on a path-segment boundary (e.g. `"~*": ["./src/*"]` with `~utils/x`), normalizing absolute (`${configDir}`) templates after substitution. ### Trade-offs - This is strictly an export-list narrowing; it never changes when a module runs. The cost of keeping laziness without `--splitting` is that the `__esm` wrapper and `exports_x` object stay (a hoisting design would remove them but changes evaluation order, breaks `try`/`catch` around the import, turns destructured snapshots into live bindings, and cannot be undone for specifiers that resolve external — all of which the test suite now pins). - Tracking is per call site and all-or-nothing per site: one escaping use of a namespace keeps everything for that importee. Thunks like `load: () => import("./cmd")` are the common untracked shape in real code; writing `() => import("./cmd").then(m => m.run)` makes them narrowable. - esbuild does not do this (evanw/esbuild#3987, #4255). rolldown, rspack and webpack do; their fixtures are ported here. Intentional differences: `.then(function (ns) {})` is not tracked (the `arguments` escape); a namespace local referenced from a function hoisted above its declaration keeps everything (rolldown over-shakes that case); `webpackExports` / `webpackMode` magic comments are ignored (usage alone decides); CommonJS importees and constant computed keys are not narrowed (webpack does both); context-module specifiers (`import(\`./dir/${x}\`)`) stay runtime imports. - Build time: flat vs main on three.js×10, a 3000-file × 30-named-import barrel, and 3000 narrowed `import()`s (±3% instructions); a pathological single namespace with 4,000 body destructures was O(n²) in an earlier revision and is now linear. ### Numbers Measured on a large internal application bundle (`--compile --splitting --bytecode --minify`, ~30 MB of minified JS across ~1,600 lazy chunks, ~765 `import()`/`require()` targets), same application commit, bun built from the same base commit with and without this branch: | | main | this branch | | ----------------------- | ----------- | ----------- | | executable | 215.6 MB | 211.2 MB (−4.4 MB, −2.0%) | | minified JS in payload | 30.1 MB | 29.1 MB | | lazy targets narrowed | 0 / 765 | 514 / 765 | Of the 251 targets still keeping every export in that build: ~157 are `() => import(x)` thunks whose namespace is consumed elsewhere, ~84 are `cond ? require(x) : null` style shapes, 34 are CommonJS. The remaining size after narrowing is mostly code reachable from the exports that *are* used; splitting had already isolated each target's module graph. ### How did you verify your code works? `test/bundler/bundler_dynamic_import_dce.test.ts` (152 cases: the shapes above in both splitting and non-splitting mode, the escape/bail cases, evaluation-order/TLA/try-catch/thenable/live-binding preservation, `Promise.all`, split and non-split `require()`, `sideEffects:false`, minifier single-use inlining, hoisting merges, `eval`, ports of rolldown `tree_shaking/dynamic_import_*` / `issue_4646/4682/5340` / `dynamic_import_body_destructure{,_bailout}` / `chunk_merging/dynamic_import_host_exporting_then`, rspack `statical-dynamic-import*`, and webpack `cases/chunks/statical-dynamic-import*` / `cjs-tree-shaking/*` / `configCases/cjs-tree-shaking/side-effect-free-dynamic-import*`), plus the existing `bundler_splitting`, `bundler_edgecase`, `bundler_barrel`, `bundler_cjs`, `bundler_minify`, `esbuild/{default,splitting,dce,tsconfig,importstar}` suites and `bundler_bytecode_portable`. The application above was built and exercised end-to-end with the resulting binary. Docs: `docs/bundler/index.mdx` (splitting → "Tree-shaking `import()` and `require()` results") and the esbuild migration table. --------- Co-authored-by: autofix-ci[bot] <114827586+autofix-ci[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

…nks can load it (#41264) ### Problem - In an executable built with `--compile --splitting`, an `import()` or `require()` of the entry point from another chunk fails: `ResolveMessage: Cannot find module '/$bunfs/root/main.js' imported from /$bunfs/root/tool.js`. It happens with `bun build` and `Bun.build`, on 1.4.1-canary.1 and main. - The linker prints the path of the entry point's chunk, `main.js`, into the other chunks. After linking, the CLI and `Bun.build` renamed that output file to the name of the outfile (`build_command.rs:807`, `js_bundle_completion_task.rs:334`). So the executable has no `/$bunfs/root/main.js`. ### Fix - `compute_chunks` names the entry point's chunk after the outfile (new option `compile_entry_point_name`). It is the chunk that `StandaloneModuleGraph::to_bytes` embeds as the entry point: the first server-side `EntryPoint` (`chunk_side`, `chunk_output_kind`). The post-link renames are removed. - Each path printed for the chunk now names the embedded module: `import()`, `import.meta.require`, module records, and the bytecode source URL. - Visible change: the external source map of the entry point is `<outfile>.map`, not `<entry>.js.map`. Its metafile output is `./<outfile>`. - Verified: 5 new tests in `test/bundler/bundler_compile_splitting.test.ts` and 1 stricter test in `bun-build-compile-sourcemap.test.ts`, which fail on 1.4.1-canary.1. Self-reviewed: 4 concerns raised, 4 addressed. The notes list the other suites. ### Background - `--compile` embeds each output file at `/$bunfs/root/<path>`. The entry point is embedded under the outfile's name, so `import.meta.path` is `/$bunfs/root/<outfile>`. - With `--splitting`, a chunk refers to another chunk by its output path. In an executable, that path starts with `/$bunfs/root/`. - Since #40519, a split `require()` of an ES module is a chunk boundary. It prints `import.meta.require("<path>")`. <details><summary>Notes</summary> - Found while testing another change. No issue reports it. - Released behavior (bun 1.4.0): with one entry point, a lazy chunk's `import()` of it fails, and `require()` of it works. `require()` fails on main because of #40519, which is not released. With two entry points, 1.4.0 runs the program, but the main entry point runs twice. - The fix covers specifiers that the bundler resolves. A computed specifier, such as `import(name)`, still resolves at run time against the embedded names, as before. - Source map name: `bun build --compile --sourcemap` writes the external map for every mode (the mode is forced to `external`, `build_command.rs:321`). So a script that reads `<entry>.js.map` next to the executable must read `<outfile>.map` now. The new name matches the module name in stack traces. Two executables built from the same entry name into one directory no longer write the same map file. #36384 (open) changes which modes write the map file. It does not change the name. - For an empty outfile, `.`, `..` and `../`, the CLI writes the executable as `index`. The entry point is now embedded as `index` too (`compile_outfile`). Before, `--outfile .` embedded it as `/$bunfs/root/`, and relative specifiers from the entry point did not resolve. Main has the same problem. - An outfile name that equals the chunk name of another entry point (`--outfile tool.js` with `tool.ts` as the second entry point) is now a "Multiple files share the same output path" error. Before, the build succeeded, and the executable loaded the main entry point in place of `tool.js`. - `chunk_side` and `chunk_output_kind` have the same text and position as in #41235, so the two PRs merge without a conflict. #41235 also finds the main module in `link` with the same rule. - `writeOutputFilesToDisk.rs` uses the two helpers too. Its old `side` code did not check `IS_BROWSER_CHUNK_FROM_SERVER_BUILD`, so a shared chunk with a browser file that is not its first file now gets `Client` there, as in memory. Nothing reads `side` for files written to disk. - `mergeSmallChunks.rs` still pins the chunks of user entry points under `--compile`. Its comment named the rename as the reason. The reason is gone, but the pin stays, because a removal changes the default chunk layout of split executables. #40601 excludes `--compile` for the same reason. - Tests that fail on the debug build with and without this diff: 3 bytecode tests in `bun-build-compile.test.ts` and 2 in `bun-build-api.test.ts` (timeouts), and `compile/HelloWorldWithProcessVersionsBun`. - Suites run on the debug build: `bundler_compile_splitting`, `bundler_compile`, `bun-build-compile`, `bun-build-compile-sourcemap`, `compile-asset-bunfs`, `compile-sourcemap-internal`, `bundler_compile_autoload`, `compile-argv`, `compile-process-execargv`, `bundler_html_server`, `standalone`, `html-import-manifest`, `metafile`, `bundler_splitting`, `bun-build-api`, `bundler_edgecase`. - Checked by hand: `--bytecode --format=esm` (the entry point and the other chunk load from bytecode), `--minify`, `--sourcemap=external`, entry points in different directories, a static and a dynamic import of the entry point in one file, and a server entry point with an HTML import. </details> <!-- robobun:evidence:begin --> --- **no test proof** · iteration 1 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/bundler/bundler_compile_splitting.test.ts, test/bundler/bun-build-compile-sourcemap.test.ts <!-- robobun:evidence:end -->

--splittingand--target bun, arequire()of a bundled ES module now becomes a chunk of its own, exactly likeimport(), and the call is printed asimport.meta.require("./chunk-<hash>.js"). On by default for that target;splitRequire: false/--no-split-requirekeeps the old inlined form. Other targets are unchanged (they cannot callimport.meta.require).Today, with
--splitting, arequire()of a bundled module is inlined into the calling chunk behind a lazy__esmwrapper, because the call has to return synchronously. For a compiled binary that means every function-scopedrequire()still ships inside the entry chunk, so the bytecode of a module that is never required is decoded (and its__esm/__exportclosures created) on every launch. Split this way the call stays synchronous — Bun evaluates the chunk when the call runs — but arequire()inside a function that never runs keeps its module out of the startup working set entirely.find_reachable_filesrecords an ESMrequire()target as a dynamic-import entry point and marks the recordCROSS_CHUNK_REQUIRE; that flag is the single signal the linker (is_external_dynamic_import: wrapper skipped, chunk path substituted, tree shaking marks the target live from the live part as forimport(), entry bits stop at the boundary) and the printer key on. CJS targets keep the in-chunk wrapper sorequire()keeps returningmodule.exports; browser-side files of a server build (an imported HTML page's scripts) are left alone since they cannot callimport.meta.require.import.meta.requirerather than the runtime's__requirebecause__requirewould resolve the relative chunk path against the runtime's chunk, not the calling one. Printing it sets the module-infocontains_import_metaflag so a bytecode build's module record providesimport.meta.require()edge differently fromimport(): the call runs while its importer is still evaluating, so no importer is guaranteed to precede the target and code shared by the entry and the required chunk stays in its own chunk instead of folding into the entry chunk after the call site.cross_chunk_importscarry the edge asrequire-call; the--compileload order treats it as a lazy edge (same asimport()), so such chunks sit after the entry's static closure and are not part of the cold-start prefetch.require()of an ES module that is still Evaluating — the call sits inside that module's own evaluation, a require cycle — now returns the live namespace (hoisted functions callable, later bindings in TDZ) instead of the empty CommonJS placeholder.functionEsmLoadSyncanswers from the registry before callingloadModuleSync, which wouldlink()/evaluate()a record whose status both reject (a debug-build assertion today); an Evaluating record with top-level await gets the existing "async module" error instead of the same assertion.overridableRequire/requireESMFromHijackedExtensionuse the namespace$requireESMreturned instead of re-probing$esmNamespaceForCjs, which only answers for an Evaluated record, andrequireESMdrops the pre-check that$esmLoadSyncalready performs.Observable differences, for reference:
{}placeholder, the same as unbundledrequire()of an ES module in Bun today (Node throwsERR_REQUIRE_CYCLE_MODULE); the in-chunk wrapper gave live getters there. Documented.export const x = "x"; a chunk seesundefined(bundledvar), and unbundled ESM throws a TDZReferenceError. Neither bundled form matches ESM here; unchanged by this PR.Numbers
bench/split-require(bun bench/split-require/gen.ts app 400 K && bun bench/split-require/run.ts <bun> app; thesplit-requirevariants are the default, the others pass--no-split-require): an entry that reaches 400 ~14 KB "tool" modules only through function-scopedrequire()in a registry and invokes K of them at startup, built with--compile --splitting --format=esm --minify, release build, macOS arm64, medians of 15 interleaved runs.footprintisBun.unsafe.memoryFootprint()(phys_footprint).Even with every tool required at startup the split build is ahead, because the wrapper form pays for
__esm/__exportgetter closures per module (this synthetic app has 40 exports per module, which exaggerates that part). On a real ~2400-module CLI built with--compile --bytecode, the entry chunk went from 14.3 MB / 2383 modules to 6.8 MB / 1602 modules and idle footprint at the prompt from 246 MB to 229 MB, with first-render time unchanged.Cost per call: a split
require()goes through the CommonJS require path (resolve + cache lookup, ~0.5 µs on a cached chunk) where the wrapper is a flag check — the same cost as a runtimerequire()of an already-loaded module. A per-chunk memo in the printer could remove it; not done here.How did you verify your code works?
