react-compiler: check the stack in every pass that recurses as deep as the source nests

[robobun]

Problem

• bun build --react-compiler ends with SIGSEGV on a deeply nested component: 1,000 <div>s, 800 ifs or 1,000 fors. An ASAN build reports AddressSanitizer: stack-overflow in bun_react_compiler::lowering::build_hir::stmt::lower_statement.
• No pass in src/react_compiler/ checks the stack. Each recurses as deep as the source nests, at up to 5.6 KB per level (Driver::visit_block, reactive_scopes/build_reactive_function.rs:326). Upstream runs on a 64 MB stack, Bun on a 4 MB bundler thread.

Fix

• stack_guard.rs wraps bun_core::StackCheck. Every function on a recursion cycle whose depth follows the source calls check()?, or returns a neutral value if is_safe_to_recurse() is false (92 checks).
• The first refusal latches until the next function starts. timed! in pipeline.rs fails the compile right after that pass, and the function stays as written.
• The CFG walks and DisjointSet::find cannot stop part way and keep their own stack.
• Verified: new test in test/bundler/transpiler/react-compiler.test.ts (SIGSEGV on 1.4.2), that file and react-compiler-fixtures.test.ts, debug and release. Self-reviewed: 6 concerns, 5 addressed (Notes).

Background

• StackCheck compares the stack pointer with the end of the thread's stack, less a reserve. The parser uses it too.
• The latch is thread-local because many guarded functions get only slices of Environment, and the walkers in program.rs run before one exists.

Downsides

• Every --react-compiler compile pays +0.6% to +1.4% user instructions (pre-merge check at 15ca596: about 54,000 per compiled function, about 23,000 of them the 5,700 checks). dea08f4 removes the allocations of the walks and is not measured: I have no perf or valgrind. Without the flag: +0.00%.
• The 128 KB reserve costs the last 12 to 25 levels that main compiled before it crashed: nested JSX 664 to 682, if 688 to 708, ternary 782 to 794.

Notes

Changes beyond a check.

• prune_non_reactive_dependencies returns the error that it used to expect, and pipeline.rs propagates it. propagate_scope_dependencies_hir tests the latch before an expect on a map that the guarded walks fill.
• get_reverse_postordered_blocks, mark_predecessors (hir/cfg_utils.rs), dfs_postorder (hir/dominator.rs) and DisjointSet::find run the same steps in the same order on a Vec stack. Their callers index what they return, so they cannot bail out. I ran the old and the new version side by side with an assert! on equal block order, predecessor order, postorder and union-find entries over all of react-compiler-fixtures.test.ts and react-compiler.test.ts, then removed the old ones.
• lowering/hir_builder.rs had private copies of the first two walks, identical to the ones in cfg_utils.rs. It now calls those.
• In fixture builds compile_outlined_fn runs lowering and codegen under timed! too, and compile_fn fails if an outlined function ran out of stack.
• type_equals recursed only through the return type of a function type. It is a loop now. Unifier::get returns Type::Poly when its check refuses, not a clone of the rest of the type: the derived Clone recurses as deep as that type.

How the coverage was checked. I emitted the crate's unoptimized LLVM IR (cargo rustc -p bun_react_compiler -- --emit=llvm-ir -C opt-level=0 -C codegen-units=1), dumped the call graph (opt -passes=print-callgraph), removed every function that calls stack_guard::check or stack_guard::is_safe_to_recurse, and listed the strongly connected components that remain. The crate has no dyn Fn and no function pointer (dyn Host only reads parser state), so the graph sees every cycle. Before the change: 91 cycles in crate code. After: 9.

What still recurses without a check (also in DESIGN.md):

• The derived Clone / Drop / PartialEq of the reactive tree and of Type. Each walks a value that a checked recursion built with larger frames: Driver::visit_block takes 5,632 B per level against 2,880 B for the clone of a block level.
• join_ref_access_types, join_ref_access_ref_types and destructure in validate_no_ref_access_in_render.rs. const a1 = [ref]; const a2 = [a1]; … adds one level per statement. The derived Clone of that value takes 176 B per level, so 4 MB hold about 22,000 levels, and compile time is cubic in the statement count: 2,000 statements take 154 s on a release build. The derived Clone cannot take a check. A fix would cap the depth where Env::set stores the value.
• install_type_config_inner (follows the type config, not the source), js_abstract_equal (depth 2), format_type_for_print (debug output).

Self-review. Four reviewers read the diff for panics after a refusal, wrong output after a refusal, recursion that the checks miss, and the test. None found a panic or a wrong-output path. Raised and addressed: the CFG walks, DisjointSet::find and Unifier recurse by statement count, which matters when a nested function starts close to the reserve (now iterative or checked). DESIGN.md said 4 MB for every platform and described the clone of the reactive tree wrongly. The test did not assert that a check fired (it now does on a debug build). The Member shape did not put its marker at the deepest level. My frame sizes missed the stack probe of frames over 4 KB. Raised and not addressed: the RefAccessType helpers above.

Depth that still compiles. Release, linux x64, 4 MB bundler thread: about 660 nested elements, 680 ifs, 770 ternaries, 710 member accesses, 320 arrows. Beyond that the function is left as written. On Windows (18 MB) the limit for if is between 3,000 and 4,000. A debug + ASAN build spends about 118 KB of stack per if level in lowering, so it stops at about 28 levels of if (it crashed at about 32 before). The 512 KB ASAN reserve costs a debug build about 13% of its depth, so the existing memory test now uses a || chain of 80 terms there, not 100 (the check refuses at about 95). I re-measured its bound with the memory fix of #42394 reverted: 73 MB and 106 MB without it, about 20 MB with it, so the bound for the small inputs is now 50 MB.

The new test. One build of one file with six deep components and a shallow one. Every deep function must still be in the output and the shallow one must be compiled, which also shows that the latch does not leak into the next function. The depth is 1,000 on a 4 MB stack and 6,000 on Windows (18 MB): with the release artifacts of this PR, Windows x64 and aarch64 compile 3,000 nested ifs, leave 4,000 as written, parse 12,000, and run the test in about 1 s. The unfixed canary crashes there at 4,000. A debug build uses depth 80 and the if and for shapes, and also asserts that both were left as written. An ASAN release build and a Windows debug build compile the if shape alone at depth 80: nothing that they finish in time runs out of stack, and a loop nest of 80 takes 2 s even on a release build.

A nested function close to the reserve. About 700 nested ifs around an arrow function whose try holds 1,500 statements ended with SIGSEGV in the recursive get_reverse_postordered_blocks on a build that had only the checks: the walk starts with little more than the 128 KB reserve left. With the walks on their own stack the same inputs (depth 700 to 780) exit 0.

Sweeps. 38 shapes (JSX, if, for, while, try, switch, labels, ternaries, logical and binary chains, calls, arrays, objects, templates, arrows, function expressions, patterns, defaults, optional chains, useMemo nesting, else if chains). With the checks alone: depths 600, 1,000, 2,000 and 3,000 on a release build, and 60, 150, 400 and 2,000 on a debug + ASAN build. With the final code: depths 1,000 and 2,000 on a release build. Every --react-compiler build ends the same way as the plain build (exit 0, or the parser's Maximum call stack size exceeded), except where the compile time below hits my 120 s limit (600 nested fors, 1,000 nested trys). 3,000 sequential try statements overflowed SSABuilder::get_id_at before and now exit 0.

Wall clock. Two thread-local reads and a compare per check (the call into StackCheck is inlined in a release build). A 700 KB file of 600 ordinary components compiled in 2.4 s with the checks and in 2.5 s on 1.4.2 (median of 7, quiet machine). With the walks on their own stack I could only measure on a loaded machine: 3.1 s at best, against 3.7 s without them and 6.0 s for 1.4.2 in the same run. Nested try at depth 300 and 500 takes the same time with and without them (6 s and 23 s).

Found on the way, not part of this PR. Compile time grows faster than n^3 with sequential ifs in one component (1,000: 17 s) and with nested loops (300 nested for: 44 s), most of it in InferMutationAliasingEffects. That is tracked separately.

Why not a larger stack. It moves the band and does not close it. The parser accepts more levels than the compiler can take on the same stack, whatever its size: parse, visit and print cost 1 to 2 KB per level, the compiler up to 5.6 KB. On 4 MB the plain build takes 2,000 levels and the compiler about 700. On 18 MB (Windows) the plain build takes 12,000, the compiler about 3,500, and main still crashes at 4,000. On 64 MB the same ratio leaves 11,000 to 45,000. A debug + ASAN build needs 118 KB per if level. The compile also cannot move to a thread of its own: it runs inside the parser's visit pass, allocates from the thread-local AST store, and calls back into the parser through Host. A larger bundler stack would raise the depth that still compiles. It is a separate change.

The reserve. It is the shared constant of StackCheck (128 KB, 256 KB on Windows, 512 KB under ASAN), not a number sized for this crate. Below a check the crate needs one level of its own frames (about 6 KB on a release build) plus library code that does not check: sort_unstable_by recurses log2(n) deep with 3.3 KB frames, driftsort keeps a 4 KB scratch buffer, and the allocator. About 64 KB would do on a release build and would win back about 11 of 680 levels. Under ASAN one level of lowering is 118 KB, so 512 KB is not generous there. I kept the shared constant.

Where the checks run. perf and valgrind are not available to me, so I counted checks, not instructions. Per call site on a debug build, 50 ordinary components: 423,500 checks before the last commit, 285,650 after it, same output. The largest sites were the two traverse_value (27%), Unifier::get (11%), SSABuilder::get_id_at (7%), apply_effect (6%), unify_impl (5%). Most of those calls return without recursion. traverse_value now checks only a value that has operands of its own, Unifier::get and occurs_check only a type with an inner type, and get_id_at only after its cache missed. apply_effect and unify_impl still check on entry: their recursive calls are spread over many arms. The pre-merge check then measured that a third fewer checks took only 4% to 14% off the added instructions, so a check costs about 4 instructions and the checks are under half of the cost. The rest came from the walks that keep their own stack: the reverse postorder walk allocated a Vec of children per block and the dominator walk a Vec of successors per node, which the recursive versions did not, and each stack grew on the heap. dea08f4 removes those allocations (SmallVec stacks with 32 frames inline, frames that hold the iterators). I checked it against the recursive walks with the same side-by-side assert!s over both test files, and the output for 50 ordinary components is byte-identical to 1.4.2.

Reproduction, on linux x64 with a release build of main 630e921db and with 1.4.2:

// bun repro.mjs
import { mkdtempSync, writeFileSync } from "node:fs";
import { tmpdir } from "node:os";

writeFileSync(join(d, "if800.jsx"), head + "let deep = -1; " + Array.from({ length: 800 }, (_, i) => `if (a > ${i}) { `).join("") + "deep = n;" + " }".repeat(800) + " return <b>{deep}{n}</b>; }\n");

    console.log(f, flag[0] ?? "(plain)", "exit", p.exitCode, "signal", p.signalCode);
  }

• Before: both files print --react-compiler exit null signal SIGSEGV. The plain builds exit 0.
• With this PR: all four builds exit 0, 3 runs of 3. The deep component is left as written.

The new test is react-compiler leaves a function that nests too deeply as written in test/bundler/transpiler/react-compiler.test.ts.

One verified lower-impact observation (a convention, logging or cleanup point) was not posted.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

• 🟣 src/react_compiler/validation/validate_no_ref_access_in_render.rs — A bun build --react-compiler user whose component wraps a value in a new array or object per statement, a few thousand times, still gets SIGSEGV and no output after this merges. join_ref_access_types (validate_no_ref_access_in_render.rs:237), join_ref_access_ref_types (:169), destructure (:353) and the derived Clone/PartialEq of RefAccessType recurse once per nesting level with no stack check, and the level count grows by one per statement (:922-949). Fix: add stack_guard::is_safe_to_recurse() at the top of the three helpers, returning RefAccessType::None, or cap the Structure depth. The dismissal argued OOM comes first without sizing any frame.

  Extended reasoning...

  The PR title claims every pass that recurses as deep as the source is checked; the author's own Notes list these helpers as raised and not addressed, and the finder let it go by argument only. Trace: a component body contains const a1 = [ref]; const a2 = [a1]; ... const aN = [aN-1]; (or object literals, or x = [x] assignments). validate_no_ref_access_in_render_impl handles each ArrayExpression at :922-949: it reads the operand's RefAccessType, joins, and stores Structure { value: Some(Box(previous)) }, so aK has depth K. Env::set at :307-321 calls join_ref_access_types(&value, current) and c != &widened_value; both recurse K levels; destructure at :353 recurses K levels and clones at each. None of these call stack_guard. The fixpoint loop repeats this. Memory is N^2/2 boxes of about 48 bytes: at N = 10,000 that is about 2.4 GB, which fits on a 16 GB CI or developer machine, so OOM does not arrive first; the recursion frames (several hundred bytes in release, kilobytes in debug/ASAN) exhaust the 4 MB bundler stack and the build dies with SIGSEGV exactly as before the PR.…

  Verification: pre-existing; acknowledged in diff: the PR description lists these helpers as "Raised and not addressed" and DESIGN.md:166-171 states "What still recurses without a check: ... the RefAccessType helpers in validate_no_ref_access_in_render ... a value that grows by one level per statement at a quadratic cost in memory" — the memory bound is accurate (env keeps O(N^2) boxes), but time is…

[robobun]

On the RefAccessType helpers in validate_no_ref_access_in_render.rs (the finding outside the diff): I measured it and I leave it out of this PR.

• Frame sizes in a release build: the derived Clone takes 176 B per level (RefAccessRefType::clone 96 B plus Box::clone 80 B), join_ref_access_ref_types 112 B, RefAccessRefType::eq 32 B. A 4 MB stack therefore holds about 22,000 levels, not a few thousand.
• The input const a1 = [ref]; const a2 = [a1]; … does not get there. Compile time is cubic in the number of statements: 1,000 statements take 17.6 s, 2,000 take 154 s, and 4,000 do not finish in 300 s (release build, linux x64). A debug + ASAN build takes 70 s for 500 and does not finish 1,000 in 300 s. 22,000 levels would take days.
• A check in the three helpers would not close it anyway. The derived Clone has larger frames than the joins, so a value that the joins accept can still overflow in clone. A real fix caps the depth of Structure where Env::set stores it. I can do that in a follow-up if you want it.

The compile time is the problem a user would meet first here, and it is tracked separately from this PR.

A second trigger for the same overflow, from another report of this crash. It has no nesting in the source:

bun -e '
const n = 1000;
let s = "";
for (let i = 0; i < n; i++) s += `const a${i} = [];\n`;
s += `a${n - 1}.push(props.x);\n`;
for (let i = n - 2; i >= 0; i--) s += `a${i}.push(a${i + 1});\n`;
require("fs").writeFileSync("flat.jsx", `export function App(props) {\n${s}return <div>{a0}</div>;\n}\n`);
'
bun build flat.jsx --react-compiler --target=browser --external "*"

Each array is pushed into the one before it, so the mutable range of each array contains the range of the next. The reactive scopes nest 1,000 deep, and Driver::visit_block recurses once for each. On 1.4.3-canary.1 (b52d513, linux x64 release) 600 arrays build and 1,000 arrays exit 139. The repeating frames are Driver::visit_block and Driver::traverse_block.

The check() that this PR adds to Driver::visit_block covers it. I built this branch at 0ba0a54 (debug + ASAN). 34 arrays compile. 40, 100 and 1,000 arrays exit 0, App stays as written, and a small second component in the same file is compiled.

So the recursion can be deeper than the source nests. The PR body and DESIGN.md say "as deep as the source nests", which does not include this case.

I had a smaller fix for the same crash in progress. It is not pushed, and this PR covers all of it, so I stop there.

I re-reviewed the latest four commits and found no bugs; the Windows depth branch in the new test resolves the earlier concern, but since this adds a thread-local latch and touches ~35 compiler passes, a maintainer look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• The iterative rewrites of get_reverse_postordered_blocks, mark_predecessors, dfs_postorder and DisjointSet::find — traced against the recursive originals; visit order, postorder pushes, the missing-block early returns and the path-compression writes match.
• Latch discipline: reset() runs at the top of maybe_compile_node, every pass in compile_fn/compile_outlined_fn/run_hir_passes goes through timed! so a refusal fails that function before any later pass reads partial state; Unifier::get returning Type::Poly instead of a clone is safe because the compile fails right after.
• The has_inner_type / ReactiveValue::Instruction gating of checks skips only calls that cannot descend in the default traversal.
• Test: drains pipes concurrently, asserts signalCode === null, and gates the compiled: [] assertion on isDebug && !isWindows so the 18 MB Windows stack cannot make it vacuous or slow.

Extended reasoning...

The change adds src/react_compiler/stack_guard.rs (a thread-local latched wrapper over bun_core::StackCheck), inserts early-return guards in roughly 35 React Compiler pass files, converts four CFG/union-find walks from recursion to explicit-stack loops, and rewires pipeline.rs so any pass that latched overflow fails the function's compile with a Todo diagnostic. It touches no security-sensitive surface (no auth, injection or data exposure), only bundler-thread compiler internals reachable from user source. The decision to defer rather than approve rests on size and complexity: 45 files, new per-thread mutable state whose correctness depends on every entry point calling reset() and every pass sitting under timed!, and hand-verified behavioral equivalence of the iterative rewrites — the kind of change a maintainer should still read even though this pass found nothing wrong.
