Fixes #23810

Problem

  • A default export that is a named function or class expression breaks minified output. bun build --minify prints var n=function(o,a,s){...};async function e(n,o){await o.register(n)}. --no-bundle --minify-identifiers gives a local the name of the function: TypeError: a is not a function. --splitting --minify fails with panic: index out of bounds: the len is 0 but the index is 0.
  • Cause: default_name_for_expr (src/js_parser/p.rs:4559) makes the name of the expression the symbol of the default export. That name belongs to the scope of the expression. Each later stage expects a module-scope binding.

Fix

  • The parser makes the generated <file>_default symbol for these forms, as for every other expression and as esbuild does.
  • Correct because each reader of the default export gets a module-scope symbol again. export default function a() {} does not change.
  • With a lowered top-level using and no bundle, that symbol prints as a var. If the module declares <file>_default itself, the var takes a temporary name.
  • EXPECTED_VERSION is 39. Verified: 23 new cases in test/bundler/bundler_minify.test.ts, 21 fail on main. Self-reviewed: 10 concerns raised, 4 addressed, 6 listed in Notes as not fixed here.

Background

  • export default (function a() {}) binds a only inside the function. The declaration form binds a in the module.
  • A nested symbol has a slot. The minifier gives one name to all symbols with the same slot in unrelated scopes.
  • Considered: reserve the pinned name in print_ast. A bundle does not call print_ast, so Error in minified single-file executable application #23810 stays.

Downsides

  • Names: bundles print var controller_default = function Controller() {}, and .name is controller_default when --minify-syntax removes the name. --no-bundle --minify-identifiers minifies the name of the expression.
  • Size: const { inc } = require("./barrel") over a re-export of such a function grows from 247 to 834 bytes minified.
  • Cost for each parsed module of this shape: +1,084 instructions (function) or +4,946 (class), +5 allocator calls. .text: -1,024 bytes for the parser change. Each cached source is transpiled again one time.
Notes

The release numbers compare two release builds made on one machine (linux x64): main at 017b243, and the parser change of this PR on top of it. The doc comment, the debug_assert! and the using guard came later. The first two add no code to a release build. The guard is one hash lookup on the lowered using path without a bundle. Its size is not in the number above: I did not build the two release binaries again.

What changes

Input main this PR
--no-bundle --minify-identifiers: export default (function a(a) { var longname = 5; var othername = 7; return a + longname * othername; }) var a = 5; var e = 7; return a + a * e, f(1) is 40 36
same flags: export default (function a(n) { var longname = n - 1; return n <= 1 ? 1 : n * a(longname); }) TypeError: a is not a function 120
same flags: export default (class a { static make(n) { var count = n + 1; return new a(count); } ... }) TypeError: 2 is not a constructor an instance
bun build --minify of the #23810 shape, also with --compile --sourcemap the import has the value of the first parameter correct
bun build with no flags, importing export default (function a(a) { return a + 1; }) ReferenceError: a is not defined 2
the same module as the entry point prints only export { a as default } declares the binding
--splitting --minify-identifiers, entry chunks without a nested scope panic: index out of bounds: the len is 0 but the index is 0 builds and runs
--no-bundle, lowered top-level using, let a = 1; export default (function a(n) {...}) var a twice, the module's a is the function top 1
--no-bundle, lowered top-level using, const lib_default = 9 in lib.js, export default (n) => n + lib_default var lib_default twice, the call returns a string 12
require() or import() of such a module, --minify-identifiers TypeError correct
two modules with export default (function a(n) { return eval(...) }), no flags prints 101 101 2 101
export default @dec class Model {} imported elsewhere, --minify-identifiers TypeError: e.make is not a function correct
bun pm diff of two versions that differ only in local names reports +5 -5 for the file formatting only

History

  • The expression arm called createDefaultName until e490577 (2021-08-08), which started to use the name of the expression "since it's a better name". esbuild uses a declared name only for the statement forms and calls createDefaultName() for every expression.
  • The EImportIdentifier arm of the removed function could not run. The parse pass makes EIdentifier only. The visit pass makes the import identifiers.
  • export default <identifier> keeps its path: the visit pass makes its default name. A move of that to the parse pass would change the order of symbols, and so the minified names of other bindings.
  • The using guard: the first commit of this PR printed var lib_default twice for const lib_default = 9; export default (function work(n) { return n + lib_default; }) in lib.js with a lowered using. Main prints var work there. The guard removes that, and the same collision that main has for the other expression forms.
  • S::ExportDefault.default_name now states the rule. The visit pass checks it with a debug_assert!. With the two old arms put back, that assert fires for the function and the class expression, and not for an object, an identifier or a declaration.

Outputs that change in modes that work today

  • Bundle without minify: var controller_default = function Controller(a) {...} (main: var Controller = function Controller(a)). .name stays Controller. A top-level class Model {} in another module keeps its name now. Main printed it as Model2.
  • Bundle with --minify-syntax and no --minify-identifiers: the unread name is removed, so .name is controller_default (main: Controller). With --keep-names it is Controller on both. esbuild 0.21.5 prints the same var controller_default = function(a).
  • --no-bundle --minify-identifiers and Bun.Transpiler with minify.identifiers: export default (function factorial(n) {...}) prints export default (function r(t) {...}), as for any other function expression and as in esbuild. Main kept factorial because it was pinned. --keep-names does not keep it: that flag has no effect on function expression names under --minify-identifiers, on main too. export default function factorial keeps its name.
  • Lowered top-level using without a bundle: the binding and the export clause are <file>_default.
  • A function expression that is named exactly <file>_default prints as var lib_default = function lib_default2(n), so its .name is lib_default2. esbuild does the same.
  • The require() pattern in Downsides: the linker binds a require() pattern local only to a function symbol (binds_call_item, src/bundler/LinkerContext.rs). Main bound it because the export symbol was the name of the function expression. That binding is the Error in minified single-file executable application #23810 mechanism: with one more function that has a parameter, main prints function l(n){return n(n.n)}. An anonymous function, an arrow, a class and a const already read the namespace object.

Measurements

  • Instructions and allocator calls: gdb stepi from the entry of P::t_export to its return, for one transformSync call of a one-statement module, on the unstripped release binaries. Six calls for each source, all six equal.
Source main this PR allocator calls
export default foo; 3,560 3,518 1, 1
export default {a:1}; 13,278 13,236 10, 10
export default (function a(n){return n}); 20,144 21,228 10, 15
export default (class A {}); 7,368 12,314 6, 11
export default function a(){} 5,500 5,500 4, 4
  • The two named expressions now call create_default_name one time, as export default {a:1} does. The class case also takes an allocator slow path.
  • Binary: size gives 106,766,588 bytes of text on main and 106,765,564 with the change, for bun-profile. The four default_name_for_expr instances (two distinct copies of 433 bytes) are gone (llvm-nm).
  • Real files: 33,460 JavaScript and TypeScript files from test/node_modules. None has the shape. transformSync without minify, transformSync with minify.identifiers, and Bun.build of each of the 3,110 files with a default export, with and without minify: 0 outputs differ (sha1).
  • Runtime transpiler cache: for a module of the shape and for a control module, the entry of main and the entry of this PR differ in the version byte only (cmp -l). After the upgrade 2 of 2 entries are written again one time.
  • perf, valgrind and strace are not available on the build machine.

Not fixed here

Main has each of these defects too. This change does not touch them.

  • React Fast Refresh makes the _s signature temp in the scope of the component and declares it at the top level (handle_react_refresh_hook_call, src/js_parser/p.rs, under a TODO: fix the renamer bug). bun build --react-fast-refresh --minify-identifiers with two hook components in two modules prints var i = a(); twice. A general assert ("a top-level declared symbol has no nested slot") cannot be added before that is fixed.
  • export default function App() { useState() } under --react-fast-refresh prints const App = _s(function App() {...}); var App = App;.
  • Two modules with export default (function X() { useState() }) under --react-fast-refresh print const default_export twice.
  • The generated name can still meet a binding of the module in the declaration forms. const lib_default = 1; export default function () {} in lib.js does not load: SyntaxError: Cannot declare a const variable twice: 'lib_default'. The anonymous declaration prints as function lib_default().
  • Main took versions 36 to 38 of EXPECTED_VERSION while this PR was open. js_parser: parse export default @dec class as a class declaration #44723 bumps it too, so the one that lands second takes the next number.

Suites

  • Debug build with ASAN, all pass: bundler_minify (88, on the merge with main at 2d6d445), bundler_cjs, bundler_cjs2esm, bundler_barrel, bundler_regressions, bundler_minify_symbol_for, bundler_dynamic_import_dce, bundler_jsx, bundler_decorator_metadata, esbuild/dce, esbuild/importstar, esbuild/importstar_ts, esbuild/ts, esbuild/splitting, transpiler/transpiler, transpiler/runtime-transpiler, transpiler/es-decorators, bake/dev/esm, bake/dev/bundle, bake/dev/hot.
  • bake/dev/production and bake/dev/react-spa pass with --timeout 120000. At the default limit, 10 and 2 of their tests time out in this debug build on the build machine.
  • bundler_splitting and esbuild/default have tests that stop at the 5 second limit in this debug build, such as splitting/BarrelCycleKeepsImportOrder* and default/TopLevelAwaitForbiddenRequireSourceMapCLI. Those two stop there on a debug build of main too. All other tests of those files pass.

…wn default symbol

`export default (function a() {})` and `export default (class a {})` bind
`a` in the scope of the expression. The parser also stored that symbol as
the symbol of the default export, which every later stage treats as a
module-scope binding.

The parser now makes the generated `<file>_default` symbol for these two
forms, as it does for every other expression. The name of the expression
is an ordinary nested symbol again. `S::ExportDefault.default_name` states
the rule, and the visit pass checks it in debug builds.

This corrects the output of `--no-bundle --minify-identifiers`, of minified
bundles, of bundles that import `export default (function a(a) {})`, of
`--splitting` and of a lowered top-level `using` for such a module.

Status: ready for review.

How I reproduced it, on a debug build of main:

  • bun build --no-bundle --minify-identifiers of export default (function a(n) { var longname = n - 1; return n <= 1 ? 1 : n * a(longname); }); prints function a(a) { var e = a - 1; return a <= 1 ? 1 : a * a(e); }. A call of the import throws TypeError: a is not a function.
  • bun build --minify of the shape in Error in minified single-file executable application #23810 (a module with export default (function Controller(...) {...} as T), imported by a function that has a parameter) prints one name for the import and for the parameter.
  • bun build --splitting --minify-identifiers of two entry points that import export default (class User {...}) fails with panic: index out of bounds: the len is 0 but the index is 0.

Walkthrough

Default-export expressions now reuse identifier references when applicable and use generated module-scope names otherwise. Lowered using declarations handle name conflicts. The cache version and minification regression tests are updated.

Changes

Default export name binding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Assign default-export bindings
src/ast/s.rs, src/js_parser/p.rs, src/js_parser/parse/parse_stmt.rs, src/js_parser/visit/visit_stmt.rs, src/jsc/RuntimeTranspilerCache.rs
The parser reuses identifier references and assigns generated names to other expressions. The removed helper no longer infers names from function or class expressions. The cache version increases from 35 to 36.
Handle lowered using name conflicts
src/js_parser/visit/visit_stmt.rs
When top-level using declarations are lowered without bundling, conflicting default names are replaced with generated temporary references.
Validate bundled default-export names
test/bundler/bundler_minify.test.ts
Bundler tests cover default-export function and class expressions across minification modes, splitting, wrappers, imports, direct eval, decorated classes, and keepNames.
Validate transpiler expression names
test/bundler/bundler_minify.test.ts
Transpiler tests cover expression forms and compare minified expression names with default-export declaration names.

Explanation

Issue #23810 requires a minified import to retain the value exported by its module. parse_stmt.rs now gives expression-form default exports a generated module-scope default symbol. This removes the nested-scope symbol that caused the imported value to use a function parameter. New bundler_minify tests cover the reported minified bundle path and related import paths. The cache version increases to 36 for affected entries.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The parser, visitor assertion, cache version, lowered-using collision handling, and regression tests support the default-export symbol fix and its related minification failures. The tests cover bundling, no-bundle output, splitting, CommonJS, direct eval, decorators, and transpilation. No unrelated product change is demonstrated.

The description clearly explains the problem, root cause, fix, scope, known limitations, and verification results. It does not use the exact template headings, but it provides the required information through the Problem, Fix, and Suites sections.

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

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked two things in the deleted/added parser code and ruled them out: the removed EImportIdentifier + macro arm of default_name_for_expr was unreachable (the parse pass only constructs EIdentifier; EImportIdentifier is created in the visit pass, and the only parse-side mention in src/js_parser/parse/parse_jsx.rs is a match arm, not a constructor), and the new debug_assert! in src/js_parser/visit/visit_stmt.rs comparing against module_scope().generated is consistent with create_default_name pushing to the current scope, because export default is only parsed where allows_esm_import_export() holds (module scope, or a declare namespace whose body is not visited).

Extended reasoning...

The change removes default_name_for_expr from src/js_parser/p.rs, makes src/js_parser/parse/parse_stmt.rs generate a <file>_default symbol for every non-identifier default-export expression, adds a debug assertion in visit_stmt.rs, documents the invariant in src/ast/s.rs, and bumps the transpiler cache version to 36; it touches no security-sensitive surface. Two confirmed findings are posted inline, so this note only records the additional refactor-preservation and assertion-scope checks that were examined and found not to be problems.

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

  • 🟡 src/js_parser/visit/visit_stmt.rs — Users running an unbundled file that has a top-level using and export default (function a(){}) can now get a duplicate var <file>_default SyntaxError or silent shadowing where the base ran correctly. src/js_parser/parse/parse_stmt.rs:1198 now generates <file>_default for named function/class expressions, and src/js_parser/visit/visit_stmt.rs:520-556 emits var <file>_default = ...; export { <file>_default as default } with no renamer in --no-bundle mode, so any user binding with that name collides. Fix: in paths that skip the renamer, make create_default_name (p.rs:4535) pick a name not present in module_scope().members, so every expression form (object, arrow, call, and now function/class) is safe.

    Why this was flagged

    Trigger: a file lib.ts with top-level using x = ... (lowered), const lib_default = 1; (or any binding named <file>_default), and export default (function a(){}), run with bun run lib.ts or bun build --no-bundle. parse_stmt.rs:1198 now produces the generated symbol for the function expression; visit_stmt.rs:520-556 then prints var lib_default = function a(){} and export { lib_default as default } by original name because the non-bundle printer does not rename. The user's const lib_default and the emitted var lib_default collide: SyntaxError (let/const) or a silently overwritten value (var). On the base the emitted binding for this input was a, which cannot collide with <file>_default. The dismissal called it pre-existing because other expression forms already had this exposure; but the function/class expression population is new to this path, and the collision is name-derived from the file name, so it is deterministic for the affected file. Remedy: pick a collision-free generated name when no renamer runs.

    Verification: Trigger: bun build --no-bundle with a non-Bun target, a top-level using, a user binding named <file>_default, and export default (function a(){}). src/js_parser/parse/parse_stmt.rs:1192-1199 sends named function/class expressions to p.create_default_name, which makes a symbol named "{file}_default" with no hash suffix. On base, it printed var a = function a(){} and did not collide.

About the additional finding of the review: a lowered top-level using, a binding named <file>_default, and export default (function a() {}).

  • It is real. With this change the named function and class expression forms print var <file>_default in that mode, as every other expression default does on main. The Notes list it under "Not fixed here".
  • The collision is not specific to using or to this change. On main, a lib.js with const lib_default = 1; export default function () {} does not load with plain bun run: SyntaxError: Cannot declare a const variable twice: 'lib_default'. The anonymous declaration prints as export default function lib_default().
  • So a default name that cannot collide has to cover the declaration forms too, where the generated name is also the .name of the function (js_parser: keep anonymous export default function anonymous so .name is "default" #34932 works on the anonymous declaration). A check inside create_default_name is not enough for the expression forms: at parse time the later declarations of the module are not known yet.

No change in this PR for it.

…declares

With a lowered top-level `using` and no bundle, `export default <expr>`
prints as `var <file>_default = <expr>` and an export clause. A module
that declares `<file>_default` itself printed that name twice. The `var`
takes a temporary name in that case.

Also shorten three comments.

I re-reviewed this PR after the latest commit (a6a8f29) and found no bugs, but because it changes the symbol model for every default-exported named function/class expression in the parser, with user-visible output differences and the size trade-off listed in the description, a maintainer look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • The new lowered-using taken-name guard in src/js_parser/visit/visit_stmt.rs:522-530: the lookup uses the module scope's member table (hoisted var, function, const, and import bindings all land there), the generated <file>_default symbol is not a member so it cannot match itself, and the bundle path is correctly left to the linker's renamer.
  • The debug_assert! at visit_stmt.rs:464: export default <expr> is only visited at module scope (declare namespace bodies return S::TypeScript before visiting), and parse-pass EIdentifier refs are always store_name_in_ref slices, so the identifier arm always reaches create_default_name first.
  • The deleted EImportIdentifier arm of default_name_for_expr was unreachable: nothing in src/js_parser/parse/ constructs an EImportIdentifier.
  • The Copy ExprData match in parse_stmt.rs:1190 does not partially move expr; the cache version bump covers the changed transpiled output.
Extended reasoning...

The change touches the JS parser's export default handling (src/js_parser/parse/parse_stmt.rs, src/js_parser/visit/visit_stmt.rs), deletes P::default_name_for_expr from src/js_parser/p.rs, documents the invariant on S::ExportDefault in src/ast/s.rs, bumps the transpiler cache version, and adds ~490 lines of bundler and Bun.Transpiler tests. It touches no security-sensitive surface. The core logic is small and matches esbuild (createDefaultName for every expression form), the new guard and assertion check out, and the tests cover bundle/no-bundle, ESM/CJS, splitting, keep-names and lowered-using variants. Deferring rather than approving because the PR intentionally changes emitted output for a common input shape and the description itself lists size and naming trade-offs that a maintainer should weigh; no CODEOWNERS entry covers the changed paths.

Update on the lowered using case from the review above: a6a8f29 handles it.

  • If the module declares <file>_default itself, the lowered var of the default export takes a temporary name.
  • const lib_default = 9; export default (function work(n) { return n + lib_default; }) in lib.js gives 12 again. The first commit of this PR printed var lib_default twice there.
  • The arrow form export default (n) => n + lib_default has the same collision on main. It is correct now too.
  • Two cases in test/bundler/bundler_minify.test.ts cover both forms (...WithLoweredUsingAndTakenName).

The anonymous declaration (export default function () {}) is not changed.

### What does this PR do?

Hardening follow-up to #46021. It fixes regressions from #46021 and
#44618 that were never released, includes more of the open pull requests
that fix a crash, and fixes a few crashes that had no pull request.

#### Regressions fixed (none was released)

- `spyOn(Bun, "$")`, and the same for `"sql"`, `"postgres"` and `"SQL"`,
threw "does not support accessor properties yet".
- Async `fs.read`, `fs.write` and `zlib.brotliCompress` on a view over a
`WebAssembly.Memory` could lose data or copy far more than they needed.
- `node:vm` with `vm.constants.DONT_CONTEXTIFY`: `this` in host
accessors, prototype handling, `util.types.isProxy`, `Bun.deepEquals`,
`assert.deepEqual` and `console.log` of a context.
- `zlib` `stream.flush()` threw for arguments it used to accept, and
streams had a new enumerable property.
- `Bun.Transpiler` `exports.replace` with the name `"default"`.
- `process.env.X = 3000` could store the number once the function was
JIT-compiled.
- `node:sqlite` and `bun:sqlite` could lose rows at exit.
- Dev server: stylesheets shared between pages after a build error.
- Shell `cp` of a file onto itself exited 1.
- `error.stack`: the frame of `require()` reads `at anonymous (unknown)`
again.
- `import * as process from "process"` followed by `process.on(...)`
threw at load. The EventEmitter methods that the module exports now act
on `process`.
- `delete res.statusCode; res.end()` in a `node:http` handler threw. It
sends 200, as in Node. (from #46128)
- `node:tls`, `node:https` and `node:http2`: connection teardown and
write callbacks behave as in 1.4.3 and Node again.

#### Crash fixes

Bundler, parser and CSS: #42286, #46092, #46097, #46177, #46239, #36334,

and the bug of #42215.

#### Behavior changes

- `crypto.randomFill(view, cb)` reports `ERR_CRYPTO_OPERATION_FAILED` if
it could not fill the view. It used to report success.
- A function registered twice on `process` runs twice, as in Node.
(#41830)
- Under `--hot`, a reload after an uncaught exception cancels the timers
that the failed run created. The new run's timers fire, and so do timers
and `fs.watchFile` watchers that earlier runs kept on `globalThis`. The
reload also resets the exit code to 0. (#38206)
- The parent of a Worker no longer gets an `'error'` event for a failed
`Bun.serve` request in that Worker. The error is printed, as on the main
thread.
- `hash.write()` after `digest()` drops the chunk, as in Node. (#35991)
- `http2` over TLS with `server.emit("connection", socket)`:
`session.socket` is a `TLSSocket` and a `'connection'` listener fires,
as in Node. (#38124)
- A `slice()` with no type of a body `Blob` has `type === ""`, as in
Node. (#46114)
- `util.types.isProxy(globalThis)` is false, as in Node.
- A write on a `node:net` or `node:tls` socket that is still pending
when the connection closes calls back with `ECANCELED`, as in Node.
- `HTMLRewriter.on()` throws for a selector that is nested too deeply.
- `Bun.Image`: `maxPixels` also bounds PNG metadata, `metadata()` of a
GIF reports the size that gets decoded, and a path with a NUL byte
throws. (#40526)
- `bun build --no-bundle` with the `base64` or `dataurl` loader prints
an error. (#36334)
- Bundled output for a default-exported function or class expression
changes to `var file_default = function name() {}`, as in esbuild.
`.name` is unchanged. (#46097)
- A Proxy in the prototype chain of a `node:vm` global is allowed. jsdom
30 with `runScripts` needs this.
- `bun:sqlite` commits a write that `iterate()` left open when the main
thread exits. An explicit `BEGIN` is still rolled back.
- When a Worker stops while a native addon's async work is still
running, the addon's finalizers run after that work is done, as in Node.
- Shell: `mv -n` and `cp -n` don't overwrite, and `cp` reads `R`, `v`
and `n` anywhere in a flag group.

#### Performance

- Ordinary `node:vm` contexts run at the same speed. With
`DONT_CONTEXTIFY`, stores to globals and reads of inherited names in a
hot loop cost 10 to 20 % more than on `main`.
- A `process.env` write costs 20 to 35 % less than after #46021.
- An async read into a `WebAssembly.Memory` view looks through the live
memories: about 1.5 µs more with one memory.

#### Not included

- Taken in part, so these should stay open for the rest: #36334, #38974,
#39488, #40526, #40769, #42485, #45615, #45999, #46029, #46092, #46114,
#46168, #46207, #46239.
- Needs a WebKit change: #34655 #39204 #40170 #40253 #41587 #41900
#42699 #42897 #42903 #43084 #43813 #44518 #44949 #45770 #45804 #45827.
- #44723 (covered by #46097), #41675, #42753, #38762, #41475, #46016.

### How did you verify your code works?

- Every item was reproduced first on release builds of `main`, of its
parent and of 1.4.3, and compared with Node v26 where Node has the API.
- Every fix has a test that fails on `main` and passes on a debug + ASAN
build of this branch, except where that isn't practical (huge inputs,
code that only runs on Windows or macOS).
- The regressions were checked on grids of calls against the build
before #46021 and against 1.4.3.
- Bun's own test suites and Node's `test-vm-*`, `test-http2-*` and
`test-zlib-*` files for the areas touched.
