The address is the same in four builds whose Rust code differs, so the code there does not change. The second place comes and goes, so some of its bytes do: they say where something else is.
what-an-executable-can-call.ts reads bytes, not instructions, and two of its rules match bytes that mean something else. What they match depends on where the linker puts things, so any change to compiled code can trip them.
x64: 0f 05 is not always syscall. The scan took every 0f 05 in the code for one, and took its number from the nearest b8 before it. But 0f 84 0f 05 00 00 is a jump of 0x50f bytes, bf 0f 05 31 00 loads the address 0x31050f, and c6 44 0f 05 2f stores to [rdi+rcx+5]. A load of the number now counts only if the instructions from it on lead up to the 0f 05. That takes the length of an instruction, so there is a function for it. Where it does not know an instruction, the place is reported as before.
arm64: a register that was overwritten. To read a field of a global through the GOT, a compiler emits
adrp x8, <page of the GOT>
ldr x8, [x8, #0x4a0] // the global's address
ldr x0, [x8, #0x4c0] // its field
The scan paired the adrp with both loads, so the field's offset became an address in the GOT's page. If an import's slot is there, the function "calls" it. The scan now stops at the load or add that overwrites the register.
A reported place carries the bytes around it, as code. Without them, and without the executable, a failure cannot be told from a false alarm.
I have not seen the bytes at 47263345. CI on this PR was the test of this reading: the executable holds the same code as in build 134948, because only a test helper changes, and the test passes on both x64 glibc lanes and on the six other Linux lanes.
Where the compiled code changes
Nowhere. Only a helper of one test changes.
How did you verify your code works?
The test needs a release build that can trim, so CI runs it. What I checked is the scan, against llvm-objdump:
Lengths. On a release build of Bun 1.4.4 for Linux x64, the new function gives the disassembler's length for all but 7 of 20,163,723 instructions (the disassembler prints a lock prefix on a line of its own, and I counted it with the instruction it belongs to). Four are AVX-512 FP16 instructions, which it reports as unknown. At the other three the disassembler reads data.
syscall. Numbers the scan finds for the 0f 05 pairs in the code:
Build
0f 05 pairs
of them syscall
given a number, before → after
the others
given a number, before → after
release, 1.4.4
948
700
700 → 700
248
85 → 5
debug + ASAN
1,771
82
77 → 77
1,689
572 → 18
"Given a number" means that the scan finds some load before it, not that the number is right. No syscall loses its number, and none gets a different one, except this: one in the release build gets the right one, 262, where a b8 inside be a2 b8 24 00 was read before. The numbers left on the others are above 300, and all but one above 700 million: there the b8 is itself in the middle of an instruction.
The scan still finds clone3 in bun_clone3_vfork, which the test asks for, and the same calls of fork, vfork and execve.
arm64. I compiled the three instructions above from C for aarch64-linux-gnu, next to a function that calls vfork, with the field at the offset of vfork's slot. Before, the scan reports both functions. Now it reports the one that calls vfork.
`compile-trim-capabilities.test.ts` fails on main on the x64 glibc lanes. The scan
of the trimmed executable reports system call 56 where nothing makes one.
The scan took every `0f 05` in the code for a `syscall`. The same two bytes are in
the distances of branches, in addresses and in operands, so what it reports depends
on where the linker puts things. It now asks that the instructions from the load of
the number on lead up to the `0f 05`.
On arm64 the scan paired an `adrp` with loads that come after the one that
overwrites its register, which turns a field offset into the address of an import.
A reported place now carries the bytes around it.

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 new filter and ruled them out: leadsTo returns true on an opcode instructionLength does not know, so an unrecognized instruction keeps the pre-PR behavior rather than silently dropping a syscall from the check; and codeAt's non-null find(...)! only receives addresses that placesIn produced by iterating the same segment list, so it cannot come back undefined for a reported place.
Extended reasoning...
The change is confined to the test-side ELF/Mach-O scanner test/bundler/what-an-executable-can-call.ts (an x64 instruction-length decoder, an instruction-boundary filter on the backward syscall-number scan, an arm64 register-clobber break, and a hex-dump field on reported places); no src/ code and no security-sensitive surface is touched. Two confirmed findings are posted inline, so a human look is already signaled; this note only records the vacuity and crash concerns that were examined and ruled out.
The executable analysis helper now includes code bytes around import calls and system calls. The arm64 scan updates its handling of writes to the tracked register. The x64 scan estimates instruction lengths and uses instruction boundaries to filter second-argument candidates.
The arm64 scan stops when a load or add writes to the tracked register. The x64 scan estimates instruction lengths and filters second-argument candidates based on whether decoding reaches the target offset.
Suggested reviewers: jarred-sumner
Priority: Normal
Merge Risk: Low · up to 32b67
Only the executable-analysis test helper changes, and shipped code is unaffected. The remaining issues are small: bytes shown in failure output may be wrong near the end of a segment, and the new instruction-boundary filtering lacks a focused test. The change is mergeable with these follow-ups.

Clamp the code slice to the segment's file-backed end.
codeAt clamps only the start of its slice. An address within 24 bytes (placesIn) or 4 bytes (syscall path) of a segment's file-backed end yields code that includes bytes from the next file region. Those bytes are shown in failure output as code at the reported address.

Assert expected code bytes, not only their format.
The capability assertions do not read code, so an empty or incorrectly sliced value can pass. A nonempty-hex regex only checks representation and will not detect a wrong surrounding slice. Assert the expected bytes for representative placesThatCall and placesThatMakeSystemCalls results.

The integration assertions exercise leadsTo through compiled binaries, but they do not construct an input containing b8 followed by 0f 84 0f 05 00 00. A compiled binary may contain this pattern incidentally, but the test does not establish that it does. Add a focused fixture or direct test input that asserts the embedded 0f 05 is rejected as a syscall boundary.

⚠️Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
The new overwrite guard is reached only after the unchanged source-register match, so add x8, x9, #imm can overwrite tracked x8 without stopping the scan.
The later load can be attributed to the stale ADRP page, falsely reporting a wanted import reference.
This can occur when: An adrp x8 is followed within the scan window by add x8, x9, #imm and then a load using x8.

Merges main at 377e942 and pins WebKit to the preview of oven-sh/WebKit#934 at 66fef807.
- process.stdout and process.stderr name what their sink needs, so that --trim keeps it in an
executable built with --aot.
- constructStdioWriteStream() checks for an exception after it makes the light stream.
- A file with an early error is not lowered.
- bun check: the key of `a[k]` is resolved only after `a` is found to be the reference that is
narrowed. In a build without Bun's types, the whole of the module "bun" is `any`.
- The LTO link inlines at a cold call site only what is cheaper than the call.
- scripts/runner.node.ts: Debian and Ubuntu share the tests of the compiler.
It asks which C library this is once, not once for each test. A test file that the pull request
modifies and that builds executables runs beside the others, at the front.
- The search for system calls in a trimmed executable is main's (#47326). The one this branch had
added is removed.
- Tests: paths printed with backslashes, twelve functions that take an address, the wording of one
error, positions of built-ins in a build with assertions.
One conflict, in test/bundler/what-an-executable-can-call.ts: #47326 fixed
on main part of what this branch had fixed in the arm64 scan.
- The file is main's, with five lines changed. main stops following the
register of an `adrp` at an `ldr` or `add` that reads and overwrites it.
The scan here also stops at a second `adrp` or `adr` into the register,
which is the case this branch hit on Linux arm64, and at an `ldr` or
`add` that overwrites it from another register.
- `describePlace` is gone: main now reports the bytes around a place, so
compile-trim-capabilities.test.ts is main's again.
main has two changes that the previous merge base lacked: the build of
bun_bundler with the test_support feature (#47299), and the scan behind
compile-trim-capabilities.test.ts (#47326). The cargo-test step and two
test-bun jobs failed without them.
