Problem

  • bun build --no-bundle --minify and Bun.Transpiler (minify.identifiers) can give a parameter, a local or an import the name of an export. export const t = ...; export function label(item) { return t(item.name) } prints label(t){return t(t.name)} and throws TypeError: t is not a function.
  • Cause: print_ast (src/js_printer/lib.rs:7734 on main) computes the reserved names, then pins the exports, and only the ref each export recorded. export var t = 1; var t = 2 prints export var r = 1.
  • Bundles have the same gap for a var that a with body reads: function f(o) { var t = 1; with (o) { return t } } prints function f(t){var t=1;with(t)return t}.

Fix

  • print_ast pins the exports first, through their link chains.
  • Scope.contains_with marks a with scope and each scope around it. compute_reserved_names_for_scope walks into them.
  • The with pin follows the link chain of a var declared twice.
  • Verified: 11 new cases in test/bundler/bundler_minify.test.ts. Main fails all 11. test/bundler/ has no new failure.

Background

  • The minifier picks one name per slot and skips reserved_names. A pinned symbol (must_not_be_renamed) keeps its name and gets no slot.
  • --no-bundle pins the exports, because other files import them by name.
  • compute_reserved_names_for_scope makes pinned names reserved. The minifier, the renamer for bundles without --minify, and cross-chunk naming call it.

Downsides

  • --no-bundle: 145 of 35,082 real files get other slot names, +533 bytes in total. Main's output does not parse for 49 of them.
  • Bundles: a name that a with body reads is reserved for the whole chunk, as for a direct eval. Without --minify, function total prints as total2 when such a body reads total.
  • Binary: .text is 256 bytes smaller than on main. Scope stays 128 bytes.
Notes

The numbers compare two release builds on linux x64, made on one machine: main at a4f1429 and this branch at ca7d303 on top of it. Two results are from one commit earlier (aebaeff) and were not repeated. They are marked. ca7d303 changes print_ast only.

The export cases

  • Reported example: bun build --no-bundle --minify of export const t = (key) => "tr:" + key; export function label(item) { return t(item.name) + " #" + item.id }. Main prints export const t=(t)=>"tr:"+t;export function label(t){return t(t.name)+" #"+t.id}. This branch prints export const t=(n)=>"tr:"+n;export function label(n){return t(n.name)+" #"+n.id}. Both are 80 bytes.
  • An export that a later var declares again: export var t = 1; var t = 2;. Main prints export var r = 1; var r = 2; and an importer fails with SyntaxError: Export named 't' not found. The second var replaces the first symbol in the module scope and the first links to it. The renamer names the symbol at the end of that link.
  • The pin walks the link chain with the checked get_mut. symbol::Map::follow reads through get_const, which does not check the index, and an empty source or a data loader has a module_ref with no symbol.
  • Measured at aebaeff, not repeated: a matrix through transformSync of 7 export forms, 13 places a name can come from and 54 one-character export names, 4914 modules. Bun 1.4.3-canary breaks 257 of them (125 return a wrong value, 110 do not load, 22 throw). The branch breaks 0.
  • The doors are bun build --no-bundle --minify, --minify-identifiers, transformSync and transform. All of them print through print_ast. Bundled output does not use this path.
  • export { local as t } is not affected, because the pinned name is local. export { t as local } is affected. That is the shape of a file that was minified before.

Real files

  • Corpus: every .js, .mjs, .cjs, .ts, .tsx and .jsx file under test/node_modules, node_modules, packages, src/js and bench, without .d.ts files and without symlinks, through transformSync with minify.identifiers. 35,082 files from 1099 packages, 285.2 MB of source. 17 files give a transform error on both builds.
  • 145 outputs differ. 27 of them grow and 118 keep their length. None shrinks. Total output: 210,157,582 bytes on main, 210,158,115 bytes on this branch. The largest growth of one file is 152 bytes.
  • On main, the output of 49 of the 145 files does not parse, for example "R" has already been declared for preact/compat/dist/compat.mjs. The files come from 24 packages, among them preact, zod, socket.io, react-router and @astrojs/compiler. On this branch all 145 outputs parse.
  • Measured at aebaeff, not repeated: bundles of import * as everything from "<package>" for 39 packages, --target=node, esm and cjs, with and without --minify. All 156 bundles are byte-identical on the two builds.

The with cases

  • Pinned symbols are unbound globals, the members of scopes with a direct eval, symbols read or hoisted through a with body, and the exports of a --no-bundle build. On main, compute_reserved_names_for_scope (src/js_printer/renamer.rs:1458) only reads the pinned names of the module scope and of direct eval scopes.
  • A var declared twice in one function is two symbols. Hoisting links the inner one to the function-level one, and the renamer follows the link before it reads the flag. On main the with pin lands on the linked ref (src/js_parser/p.rs:3671, src/js_parser/scan/scan_symbols.rs:150).
  • var t = 1; with (obj) { var t = 2 } return [t, obj.t] gives [2, 9] for { t: 9 } on main and not [1, 2]. var t = 1; { var t = 2; with (obj) { return t } } gives 2 and not 9. Both print var n for the pinned t.
  • with (obj) var t = 2 without braces declares t in the with scope, which the hoisting walk starts above. with (obj) var t = 2; return [t, obj.t] gives [2, 9] for { t: 9 } on main and not [undefined, 2].
  • esbuild 0.25.1 has the parameter case and the brace-less case too.
  • The implicit arguments symbol of each function on the marked path is pinned and lands in the reserved set. The minifier never produces a nine character name, and a direct eval reserves it the same way.
  • Why bundles without --minify need the reserved name: that renamer numbers a nested binding which meets an outer name that its scope references. In a CommonJS file, function (require_dep, obj) { var require_dep2 = 1; var seen = require_dep + require("./dep.cjs").value; with (obj) { return [seen, require_dep2] } } calls the wrapper require_dep, so the parameter is numbered. Main prints it as require_dep2, the name of the var, and seen starts with 1. This branch prints require_dep3.
  • The cost of that reserved name: legacy.cjs with module.exports = function read(obj) { var total = 1; with (obj) { return total } }, and an entry file with function total() {}. Main prints function total(). This branch prints function total2(), so total.name is "total2". With return eval(code) in place of the with, main prints total2 already.
  • The f_ functions in the with test pin all 54 one-character names, one function each, so the test does not depend on which name the character frequency puts first. The export tests use the same idea: they export all 54 names and declare 54 other names.
  • Not changed here: const u = 1; with (obj) { return u } is folded to return 1 by the constant substitution of the parser, under --minify and under bun run. That is a different mechanism and needs its own change.

Cost

  • size -A of the release binaries: .text is 58,143,477 bytes on main and 58,143,221 bytes on this branch. The file size is 80,827,976 bytes on both.
  • size_of::<Scope>() is 128 bytes on both, checked with a const assertion. The new bool uses padding.
  • Files with no with and no --no-bundle export: one more bool test for each scope that hoist_symbols and compute_reserved_names_for_scope visit, and one more branch for each hoisted member. print_ast has one loop in place of two, with one has_link test for each pinned ref. No allocation is added.
  • Time for the corpus, user CPU, 10 interleaved runs for each build: 7735 ms to 10,356 ms on main, 7524 ms to 9869 ms on this branch. The spread of one build is larger than the difference. perf, valgrind and strace are not available on the build machine, so there is no instruction count.

Suites

  • Debug build with ASAN: bundler_minify, bundler_edgecase, bundler_splitting, bundler_minify_symbol_for, bundler_regressions, bundler_cjs, bundler_cjs2esm, esbuild/default, esbuild/dce, esbuild/importstar, transpiler/transpiler, transpiler/runtime-transpiler.
  • Release build: all of test/bundler/ on both builds, and test/internal/source-lints/ on this branch. At that time 5 of the 11 cases were in bundler_edgecase.test.ts and transpiler/transpiler.test.js. They moved to bundler_minify.test.ts with no other change. Four tests fail on both builds: three bytecode tests and native-plugins. Each other failure of the branch run is a 5 second timeout or the resolver cache test direct file deleted then recreated. Each one passes when its file runs alone. The main run has timeouts of the same kind in other tests.

Status: CI is green on top of main at a4f1429, ready for review.

Reproduced on a release build of main at a4f1429 and on bun 1.4.2:

  • bun build --no-bundle --minify of export const t = (key) => "tr:" + key; export function label(item) { return t(item.name) + " #" + item.id } prints export function label(t){return t(t.name)+" #"+t.id}. label({ name: "title", id: 7 }) throws TypeError: t is not a function. This branch prints label(n){return t(n.name)+" #"+n.id}.
  • export var t = 1; var t = 2; with --no-bundle --minify-identifiers prints export var r = 1; var r = 2;. An importer fails with SyntaxError: Export named 't' not found.
  • The with test of this PR prints ["t","hoisted","merged","braceless"] on main and [] on this branch.
  • A bundle without --minify prints a parameter as require_dep2, the name of a var that a with body reads, and returns ["1,dep", 1] and not ["arg,dep", 1].

The 11 test cases of this PR fail on main and pass on this branch, on a debug build with ASAN and on a release build.

Self-reviewed before the rebase: 10 concerns raised, 7 addressed. The 3 about constant substitution through a with body (const u = 1; with (obj) { return u } prints return 1) are a different mechanism in the parser and are left for a separate change.

Walkthrough

The change tracks with scopes through enclosing scopes, propagates rename protection across linked symbols and hoisting, updates minifier reservation handling, and adds bundled, non-bundled, and transform regression tests.

Changes

With-scope renaming

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scope and symbol protection
src/ast/scope.rs, src/js_parser/p.rs, src/js_parser/scan/scan_symbols.rs
Scopes record enclosing with statements. Symbol rename protection now propagates through link chains and hoisted merges.
Minifier protection
src/js_printer/lib.rs, src/js_printer/renamer.rs
Protected symbols are marked before reserved-name computation. Reserved-name traversal includes scopes containing with or direct eval.
Minification regression tests
test/bundler/bundler_minify.test.ts, test/bundler/transpiler/transpiler.test.js
Tests cover bundled and non-bundled output, hoisted declarations, merged declarations, exported names, and generated transform aliases and parameters.

Suggested reviewers: jarred-sumner

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ca7d3

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it changes minifier renaming semantics across the parser, AST, and printer — and intentionally diverges from esbuild's behavior for with-pinned names — a human familiar with the renamer should also take a look.

What was reviewed:

  • contains_with propagation in push_scope_for_parse_pass mirrors the existing contains_direct_eval parent-chain walk; Scope::EMPTY initializes the new field and all Scope { .. } construction sites use ..Scope::EMPTY or ..Default.
  • set_must_not_be_renamed_through_links follows symbol.link the same way the renamer's follow does; applied at all three with pin sites plus the hoisting-merge link site.
  • The print_ast reordering: pins now land on symbols before compute_reserved_names_for_scope(module_scope, &symbols, ...) reads must_not_be_renamed(), then symbols is moved into MinifyRenamer::init as before — no other behavior changed.
  • Bundler-side callers in crossChunkNames.rs / renameSymbolsInChunk.rs pick up the new contains_with recursion via the shared helper; the bundled format: "cjs" test exercises that path.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR fixes a minifier bug where symbols pinned by with statements (and, in --no-bundle, named exports and module/exports/require refs) could have their original names reused as slot names for other symbols in enclosing scopes, producing shadowing and wrong runtime behavior. It touches six files: src/ast/scope.rs adds a contains_with: bool field mirroring contains_direct_eval; src/js_parser/p.rs propagates it up the parent chain when a with scope is pushed and adds set_must_not_be_renamed_through_links() to pin every symbol on a link chain; src/js_parser/scan/scan_symbols.rs uses the new helper at the identifier-reference pin site; src/js_printer/renamer.rs extends the recursive descent in compute_reserved_names_for_scope to contains_with as well as contains_direct_eval; src/js_printer/lib.rs reorders print_ast so export/module/require pins are set before reserved names are computed; and three itBundled tests in test/bundler/bundler_minify.test.ts cover all 54 single-character minifier names plus the hoisted/merged link cases and the --no-bundle export case.

Security risks

None. This is a JS minifier symbol-renaming correctness fix operating on already-parsed AST; there is no untrusted-input parsing surface changed, no I/O, no auth/crypto, and no allocation-size arithmetic. The worst failure mode is over-reservation of names (extra recursion into child scopes), which only costs slightly longer minified identifiers.

Level of scrutiny

Medium-high. The renamer is correctness-critical: a wrong reservation silently changes program semantics in minified output, and REVIEW.md explicitly calls out that for ported parser/printer code esbuild is the reference implementation. The PR description states esbuild 0.25.1 has the same bug, so this is a deliberate divergence from the reference — that is fine and the reasoning is sound, but it is exactly the kind of change a maintainer who owns the parser/printer should sign off on. The print_ast reordering also falls under "treat refactors as guilty until proven behavior-preserving"; I traced it and the only observable difference is that must_not_be_renamed is now visible to compute_reserved_names_for_scope, which is the intended fix, but a second pair of eyes on that block is worthwhile.

Other factors

The implementation is disciplined: contains_with is a straight structural copy of the contains_direct_eval pattern (same parent-chain walk shape, same recursion guard in the renamer), and the new field is consumed at a real site (renamer.rs:1227/1230). The link-chain pinning helper is applied at all sibling sites (both with pin locations plus the hoisting-merge site), satisfying the "fix the whole class" rule. The bundler-side callers of compute_reserved_names_for_scope in crossChunkNames.rs and renameSymbolsInChunk.rs inherit the fix through the shared helper, and the bundled format: "cjs" test covers that path. Test coverage is thorough — the 54-function generator makes the test independent of character-frequency ordering, and the PR notes it fails on 1.4.1. No CODEOWNERS entries cover these paths. The bug-hunting system exited on dry_streak with no findings.

Two follow-up pushes from the review comments:

  • b53a0f4: with (obj) var t = 2 without braces declares t in the with scope itself. The hoisting walk starts at the parent scope, so it never passed a with scope and never pinned the symbol. The members of a with scope are now pinned before the walk, and the test has a braceless case. This was the renaming gap behind the first CodeRabbit comment. A function declaration as the body of a with is a syntax error, so the block function path it mentioned second cannot run for a with scope, but the pin now sits after that branch anyway (aa78e83).
  • 6308485 and c93e86c: the new comments are one line each.

On bun 1.4.0 the test prints ["t","hoisted","merged","braceless"] and ["o","t"]. With this branch it prints [] in all three cases.

3321-3325: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔴 Critical | ⚡ Quick win

Pin the replacement ref, not only the pre-replacement ref, for with-scope declarations.

set_must_not_be_renamed_through_links(value.ref_) runs before the HoistedFunction branch (lines 3332-3366) can reassign value.ref_ to a newly created hoisted_ref. hoisted_ref is never pinned, and it becomes the ref used for the rest of hoisting (symbol_idx, the merge walk). A sloppy-mode block-level function statement declared through a with scope can still have its hoisted replacement renamed, which changes with resolution at runtime. The later while-loop's with check starts at scope_parent, so it never revisits scope to correct this.

Move the with-scope pin to after the HoistedFunction replacement branch so it always targets the final value.ref_.

🐛 Proposed fix: pin after the replacement branch

As per past review comments, this mirrors the unaddressed "Pin the replacement ref for sloppy block functions" finding.

The "outside diff range" comment reviewed c93e86c. aa78e83, pushed before it landed, already moves the with-scope pin after the block function replacement branch, so it pins the final value.ref_. The branch cannot run for a with scope in any case: a function declaration as the body of a with is a syntax error ("Cannot use a declaration in a single-statement context"), so a with scope only ever has var members. No open review threads remain.

The minify renamer keeps a pinned symbol's original name and gives it
no slot. Nothing kept that name out of the slot names in three cases:

- A symbol read through a `with` body is pinned, but the reserved set
  only covered the module scope and direct eval scopes. A parameter of
  the same function could take the name: `function f(o) { var t = 1;
  with (o) { return t } }` printed as `function f(t) { var t = 1;
  with (t) return t }`.
- When the `var` was declared twice, the `with` pin landed on a linked
  ref while the renamer follows the link to the function-level symbol.
  That symbol was renamed together with the `with` body's read of it.
- `bun build --no-bundle` pinned the named exports after the reserved
  set was computed, so a local in a nested function could shadow an
  export it reads.

Add Scope.contains_with, set on a `with` scope and on every scope that
encloses it like contains_direct_eval, and let
compute_reserved_names_for_scope walk into those scopes. Pin through
the link chain at both `with` pin sites and when hoisting links a
pinned symbol to an existing one. Pin the exports before the reserved
set is computed.
`with (obj) var t = 2` declares `t` in the with scope. The hoisting
walk starts at the parent scope, so it never passed a with scope and
never pinned the symbol.
…ort's name

Each test exports the 54 one-character names, in every export form, and
declares 54 other names, so every export name is wanted by one of them.
The cases are a parameter, a local and a catch binding of a function that
reads the exports, an import and a private top-level name, and the same
through Bun.Transpiler transformSync and transform.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Beyond the inline finding, I also checked that the new contains_with descent reaches the bundler's chunk renaming (both crossChunkNames.rs and renameSymbolsInChunk.rs go through the shared compute_reserved_names_for_scope, so no separate site needed the flag), that the with-scope pin in the hoisting loop runs after the sloppy-mode block-function ref replacement so it pins the hoisted replacement rather than the original, and that moving the export-pin block in print_ast ahead of MinifyRenamer::init has no ordering dependency — nothing between the new position and the reserved-name computation reads must_not_be_renamed.

Extended reasoning...

The change adds a Scope.contains_with flag mirroring contains_direct_eval, pins with-referenced symbols through their link chains in the parser, and moves the --no-bundle export pinning ahead of reserved-name computation in the printer; it touches no security-sensitive surface. One confirmed inline finding (a pre-existing sibling hole where an export ref that heads a link chain is still not pinned through links) already signals a human should look, so this note only records what else was examined and ruled out.

Comment thread src/js_printer/lib.rs Outdated
`export var t = 1; var t = 2` is two symbols. The second one replaces
the first in the module scope and the first links to it. `print_ast`
pinned the ref the export recorded, which is the first symbol, and the
renamer names the symbol it links to. So `--no-bundle` with
`--minify-identifiers` printed `export var r = 1; var r = 2` and the
module had no export `t`.

Pin each symbol on the link chain. The walk uses the checked `get_mut`,
because an empty source or a data loader has refs with no symbol.

I reviewed the latest push and found no bugs; the export var t; var t link-following case I flagged earlier is now handled in print_ast and covered by NoBundleExportNameKeptWhenDeclaredAgain. Because this changes how the bundler computes reserved names for every chunk (a with body now reserves names chunk-wide even without --minify, which esbuild does not do), a human look at that design choice would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • Traced contains_with from push_scope (walks up until an already-marked ancestor, same as contains_direct_eval) to its only consumer, compute_reserved_names_for_scope, on the print_ast, renameSymbolsInChunk and crossChunkNames paths.
  • Checked the four set_must_not_be_renamed_through_links sites and the link.set merge: hoisting runs before the visit pass, so links exist when scan_symbols pins a with-body reference; the remaining direct set_must_not_be_renamed(true) sites (arguments_ref, the injected class-field symbol, AstBuilder) are fresh unlinked symbols.
  • Checked the print_ast reorder: nothing between the old and new pin sites reads or clears the flag, and symbols is moved into MinifyRenamer::init after the pin loop.
  • Scope::EMPTY is the only constructor; the one struct literal uses ..Scope::EMPTY.
Extended reasoning...

The change touches the parser's scope hoisting (src/js_parser/p.rs), symbol scanning, the printer's minify-renamer setup (src/js_printer/lib.rs) and the shared reserved-name computation used by both the no-bundle and bundled renamers (src/js_printer/renamer.rs), plus a new Scope field. It touches no security-sensitive surface. The latest commit addresses the one inline finding from the prior review, and the added tests exercise all 54 single-character names so they cannot pass by luck of slot ordering. Deferring rather than approving because the reserved-name descent for with deliberately deviates from esbuild and alters non-minified bundle naming (the PR's own total2 example), which has no test and is a design tradeoff maintainers should confirm.

The renamer for bundles without --minify numbers a nested binding that
meets an outer name its scope references. The number it picks cannot be
a name that a `with` body reads: `function (require_dep, obj) { var
require_dep2 = 1; ... with (obj) { return require_dep2 } }` printed the
parameter as `require_dep2` too.

Two pushes since the last review round.

ca7d303: the export that a later var declares again. The inline finding is confirmed on main at a4f1429. export var t = 1; var t = 2; prints export var r = 1; var r = 2; with --no-bundle --minify-identifiers, and an importer fails with SyntaxError: Export named 't' not found. print_ast now pins each symbol on the link chain of an export. The walk uses the checked get_mut. A first version with symbols.follow failed the existing tests for an empty source and for data loaders with assertion failed: idx < (*inner).len(), because follow reads through the unchecked get_const and those inputs have a module_ref with no symbol.

db2774f: a test for bundles without --minify. The review asked if the reserved with names are wanted there, because that side had no test. They are needed. That renamer numbers a nested binding which meets an outer name that its scope references, and the number can be the name that a with body reads:

// sloppy.cjs, bundled without --minify
module.exports.read = function (require_dep, obj) {
  var require_dep2 = 1;
  var seen = require_dep + "," + require("./dep.cjs").value;
  with (obj) {
    return [seen, require_dep2];
  }
};

Main prints the parameter as require_dep2, so read("arg", {}) returns ["1,dep", 1] and not ["arg,dep", 1]. This branch prints require_dep3. The cost stays as the description says: a top-level function total prints as total2 when a with body in the chunk reads a total. A direct eval already has this effect on main.

The numbers in the description are measured again at ca7d303, against main at a4f1429, with release builds from one machine. Two results are from one commit earlier and are marked as such. .text is now 256 bytes smaller than on main. The corpus result is the same as before: 145 of 35,082 files differ, +533 bytes, and main's output does not parse for 49 of them.

I reviewed the latest push and found no bugs; the link-chain gap flagged earlier on the --no-bundle export pin is now handled (the print_ast loop follows link and minify/NoBundleExportNameKeptWhenDeclaredAgain plus the transpiler test cover it). Because the contains_with descent in compute_reserved_names_for_scope also feeds the bundler's non-minified renamer and cross-chunk naming, and so changes output names (total -> total2) for unminified bundles containing a with, a human look at that trade-off would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • The moved export/module/exports/require pin in print_ast: it now runs before compute_reserved_names_for_scope, and the while let Some(symbol) = symbols.get_mut(ref_) loop stops on Ref::NONE and unlinked symbols; links only point inner-to-ancestor from hoisting merges, so no cycle.
  • set_must_not_be_renamed_through_links at all three parser call sites (with-scope reference, with-ancestor hoist, brace-less with (o) var t) and the pin propagation on silent merge — all pin the symbol the renamer reads after follow.
  • contains_with propagation mirrors contains_direct_eval (early break when already set) and is consumed by all three compute_reserved_names_for_scope callers.
Extended reasoning...

The diff touches the parser's var-hoisting walk and with-scope handling (src/js_parser/p.rs, scan_symbols.rs), adds a Scope.contains_with flag, widens compute_reserved_names_for_scope in the renamer, and reorders the export pinning in print_ast, with 8 new itBundled/transpiler tests across bundled, --no-bundle, transformSync and transform paths. It touches no security-sensitive surface. The previous inline finding from this bot (export pin not following link chains) is addressed in the code and covered by a dedicated test, and the bug hunt ran dry with no new findings. Deferring rather than approving because the renamer change alters names in non-minified bundles containing a with statement (a visible output change for the whole chunk) and the parser hoisting logic is subtle enough that a maintainer familiar with the esbuild port should weigh it.

The cases in bundler_edgecase.test.ts and transpiler/transpiler.test.js
test the same reserved names as the cases here. One file holds all 11.
