Problem

  • bun build --splitting numbers a binding shared between chunks when any entry point exports the same name. export { ValidationError } from "./errors.js" makes the shared chunk print class ValidationError2. An unrelated entry point's export function helper renames a shared helper to helper2. constructor.name and Function#name then differ from the unbundled code.
  • reserved_names and assign_minified (src/bundler/linker_context/crossChunkNames.rs:59, :148 on main) reserve every entry point's export names bundle-wide. A review commit of bundler: one bundle-wide name per cross-chunk binding (no more export {x as y} / import {y as z} between chunks) #40518 added this to prevent a duplicate name in an entry chunk's export {} clause.

Fix

  • The namers no longer see export names. A cross-chunk binding keeps its name in every layout.
  • apply_to_clauses settles a collision in the alias: export { helper as helper2 } in the exporting chunk, import { helper2 as helper } in the importers.
  • If the entry point exports that same binding under that name, the extra item is dropped. Importers use the entry point's export.
  • Verified: test/bundler/bundler_splitting.test.ts (six new cases, five fail without the fix).

Background

Notes

Repro (1.4.3-canary.1+09bb54630 and main 04823d8):

echo 'export class ValidationError extends Error {}' > errors.js
echo 'export { ValidationError } from "./errors.js";' > index.js
printf 'import { ValidationError } from "./errors.js";\nconsole.log(new ValidationError("x").constructor.name);\n' > cli.js
bun build --splitting --outdir out index.js cli.js --target bun
bun out/cli.js   # ValidationError2, expected ValidationError

Before, the shared chunk has class ValidationError2 extends Error {} and out/index.js has export { ValidationError2 as ValidationError }. After, all three files print ValidationError and no clause has an as.

The alias path. export_aliases_beside_entry_exports runs once, in apply_to_clauses. It looks only at an ESM entry chunk whose entry point has exports and which has a cross-chunk export clause. For that chunk it puts the entry point's export names in a hash set, adds each cross-chunk name, and collects the ones that hit. A hit gets name2, name3, ... until the alias is free in that clause. The result is a map from binding to alias. It is empty in every build that has no such chunk. apply_to_clauses writes item.alias from that map first and from cross_chunk_names otherwise, for export items and import items alike.

Same binding. entry_export_binding resolves the entry point's export the way generate_entry_point_tail_js does. When it is the binding of the colliding item (compared through symbols.follow), the item is removed from the cross-chunk clause. The clause then has one export { exports_d }, and the importer prints import { exports_d } from "./a.js". On main the same input gives export { exports_d2 as exports_d, exports_d2 }, so the module namespace of the entry point has a second key. splitting/CrossChunkImportUsesEntryExportOfSameBinding checks Object.keys of the entry point for both --minify-identifiers settings.

How the tests build a chunk that has both kinds of name. import { foo } from "./d.js", where d.js is in a "sideEffects": false package and does export * from "./c.cjs", reads foo off the exports object of d.js. The importing part gets no dependency on that object, because scanImportsAndExports.rs:1286 tests the importer's export_kind where esbuild tests the imported module's. With a second entry point that reaches d.js, d.js lands in that entry point's chunk, and the first entry point imports exports_d from it. That is #18008, and this PR does not change it. When #18008 is fixed the two layout assertions in splitting/CrossChunkBindingKeepsNameBesideEntryExportName (exports_d as exports_d2, exports_d2 as exports_d) need a new fixture. The other assertions do not depend on the layout.

Earlier versions of this PR. Version 1 removed the reservation and asserted that such a chunk cannot exist. A self-review disproved that with the layout above. Versions 2 and 3 made the binding avoid the export names, first bundle-wide and then per chunk. Both still renamed a binding because of an export list. The current version follows the review by @Jarred-Sumner: the binding name and the export name are in different namespaces, and only the alias changes.

--minify-identifiers. Short names are no longer skipped for export names. splitting/CrossChunkNameMatchesEntryExportNameMinified exports all 54 one-letter names from an entry point. Before, the two shared functions get ss and as. After, they get s and a, and index.js prints export { s as $, a as A, ... }.

Not changed. reserved_names also reserves every unbound name of every module scope of the bundle. A shared class Event is still Event2 when some other chunk reads the global Event. That is a different reservation with a different reason.

Random graphs. 300 random module graphs (3 to 9 modules, names from a pool of 9, entry points with exports, re-exports under other names, import(), --min-chunk-size, --minify-identifiers, --target=bun, and up to two "sideEffects": false barrels of the kind above whose exports object some entry points export under exports_dN and under one-letter names). Each entry point must load, have every export it declares, and each export must have the value of its source module. Main and this branch fail the same 4 seeds with TypeError: __commonJS is not a function, and 66 seeds hit ReferenceError: exports_dN is not defined on both. Both are #18008. No seed fails on this branch only. The alias path ran for 17 clause items. Numbered declarations in the unminified outputs: 1,452 on main, 615 on this branch. The rest are real collisions between cross-chunk bindings.

Also checked by hand. --compile --bytecode --format=esm --splitting on the fixture with the alias: the executable prints the expected output, so the module records that the printer emits for x as y items are right.

Suites run with the debug build of the current version. All of test/bundler/bundler_splitting.test.ts (129 pass), esbuild/splitting, bundler_compile_splitting, bundler_barrel, bundler_minify, bundler_naming, bundler_cjs2esm, bundler_html, html-import-manifest, esbuild/importstar, metafile, regression/issue/{5344,25628}.

Status

Reproduced on 1.4.3-canary.1+09bb54630 and on main 04823d8 with the commands in the Notes of the PR body. bun out/cli.js prints ValidationError2. With this branch it prints ValidationError.

Five of the six new tests fail on a debug build of main and pass on this branch: splitting/CrossChunkNameMatchesEntryExportName, ...Minified, splitting/CrossChunkBindingKeepsNameBesideEntryExportName, splitting/CrossChunkImportUsesEntryExportOfSameBinding and ...Minified.

Walkthrough

Cross-chunk name assignment no longer reserves entry export aliases globally. Clause application creates entry-specific aliases for collisions, removes duplicate bindings, skips unsupported entries, and propagates allocation errors. Bundler splitting tests cover these cases and large-scale alias uniqueness.

Global and module-scope names remain reserved. Entry export aliases no longer reserve names during unminified or minified assignment.
Apply entry-specific clause aliases
src/bundler/linker_context/crossChunkNames.rs, src/bundler/linker_context/generateChunksInParallel.rs
apply_to_clauses resolves entry export bindings, removes duplicate bindings, assigns numbered aliases for collisions, skips CommonJS and exportless entries, and returns allocation errors to chunk generation.

Changes after the first review round:

  • 02431e6: a cross-chunk binding now checks only the export names of the entry point whose chunk declares it. An unrelated binding in another chunk keeps its name. splitting/CrossChunkNameAvoidsExportNameOfItsOwnChunk covers that case.
  • The helper reserve_entry_export_names and its long comment are gone. e06608c cut the last flagged comment to one line.
  • I kept the for loop around itBundled. This file uses that form in six other places and has no describe.each.

The PR body describes the current version.

768-805: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add an unminified entry-chunk export-name regression case.

assign_unminified in src/bundler/linker_context/crossChunkNames.rs:87-137 changes a cross-chunk binding from foo to foo2 when its emitting entry chunk exports the name foo. The current fixture does not trigger this condition in unminified mode. Its foo binding has no matching foo alias, and helper belongs to the unrelated shared chunk. Removing only this unminified check would leave the fixture passing. Add a focused case that asserts the affected binding has the suffixed runtime name while the unrelated shared binding remains helper. The nearby CrossChunkNameMatchesEntryExportName test covers the opposite cross-chunk isolation case.

On the suggestion to add an unminified case for the check in assign_unminified: splitting/CrossChunkNameAvoidsExportNameOfItsOwnChunk already covers it.

The cross-chunk binding in that fixture is not foo. b.js reads foo as a property of the exports object of d.js, and that object is the binding that crosses the chunk boundary. Its name is exports_d. a.js exports own as exports_d, and d.js is in the chunk of a.js. So is_export_name(export_names, "exports_d") is true in the unminified build, and the binding becomes exports_d2.

I checked this against a build with the check removed. out/a.js then ends in export { own as exports_d, ..., exports_d }, and both run steps fail with Multiple exports with the same name "exports_d". The minified form fails the same way with "s".

This is still the wrong fix. It resolves an export-name collision by renaming a binding. Those are two namespaces.

The two namespaces

  • Binding names must be unique in the scope of each chunk. The renamer owns that.
  • Export names must be unique in one chunk's export {} clause. They are not bindings.
  • bundler: one bundle-wide name per cross-chunk binding (no more export {x as y} / import {y as z} between chunks) #40518 made alias == binding name for cross-chunk bindings, so clauses print bare names. That tied the two namespaces together.
  • The old guard and this PR both keep them tied. They only change which export names a binding must avoid. A binding is still numbered because of a string in an export list, so Function#name can still break.

Do this instead

  • Export names never go into the renamer. reserved_names and assign_minified drop them, as this PR does.
  • A cross-chunk binding keeps its name. No is_export_name check.
  • Resolve the collision where it happens, in the alias. apply_to_clauses already sets item.alias apart from item.name.ref_.
  • For a chunk that has both kinds of name, the item takes a numbered alias when it collides with an entry export name. The exporter prints export { helper as helper2 } and the importer prints import { helper2 as helper }. The printer printed that form for every item before bundler: one bundle-wide name per cross-chunk binding (no more export {x as y} / import {y as z} between chunks) #40518.
  • If the entry export with the same name is the same binding, no new item is needed. The importer uses the public export. This PR numbers that binding to helper2, and no test covers it (own as helper is a different binding).
  • The cost is one alias override map that stays empty in almost every build. No linear scan in the probe loop. No (Ref, &ExportNames) tuples.

Result

Done in 8baf89e (rebased on main, one commit, then f58e9c5 for two comments).

  • reserved_names and assign_minified no longer see export names. There is no is_export_name check and no (Ref, &ExportNames) tuple. cross_chunk_refs and the two naming loops are the ones from main.
  • apply_to_clauses resolves the collision in the alias. It reads an override map first and cross_chunk_names otherwise, for export items and import items. The map comes from export_aliases_beside_entry_exports. That function looks only at an ESM entry chunk whose entry point has exports and which has a cross-chunk export clause. It builds one hash set of the clause's names for such a chunk. In every other build the map is empty and nothing is allocated.
  • A colliding item gets name2, name3, ... until the alias is free in that clause. Output for the Bun build does not import values re-exported from another package when sideEffects is false #18008 layout: export { own as exports_d, own as helper, exports_d as exports_d2 } in a.js, import { exports_d2 as exports_d } from "./a.js" in b.js, and var exports_d = {} keeps its name.
  • Same binding: entry_export_binding resolves the entry point's export the way generate_entry_point_tail_js does and compares through symbols.follow. On a match the item is removed from the cross-chunk clause. a.js prints export { exports_d } once and b.js prints import { exports_d } from "./a.js". On main that input gives export { exports_d2 as exports_d, exports_d2 }.

Tests: splitting/CrossChunkBindingKeepsNameBesideEntryExportName (different binding, also checks that an unrelated shared helper keeps its name) and splitting/CrossChunkImportUsesEntryExportOfSameBinding (checks Object.keys of the entry point), both with and without --minify-identifiers. Five of the six new cases fail on main.

I also ran 300 random graphs that include the #18008 barrel shape against main and this branch. No seed fails on this branch only. The alias path ran for 17 clause items. Details are in the Notes of the PR body.

I left scanImportsAndExports.rs:1264 alone. It needs its own PR. When it lands, the two layout assertions in the first test need a new fixture.

compaction loop around cross_chunk_suffix_stmts with a single cursor over the
ascending dropped indices. Advance the cursor as item indices pass each dropped
index, skip matching items, and retain the existing swap/truncate behavior for
non-dropped items.

Comment thread src/bundler/linker_context/crossChunkNames.rs
With --splitting, a binding shared across chunks was numbered
(ValidationError -> ValidationError2) whenever any entry point exported
something under the same name. Function#name and constructor.name then
differed from the unbundled code.

Export names are not bindings. The namers no longer reserve them, so a
cross-chunk binding always keeps its name. The one place where the two
kinds of name can meet is the export clause of an entry chunk that also
exports bindings to other chunks. A collision there is settled in the
alias: the chunk prints `export { helper as helper2 }` and importers
print `import { helper2 as helper }`. When the entry point exports that
same binding under that name, the extra item is dropped and importers use
the entry point's export.
