install: send configured credentials to tarball URLs that the project names - #47900
A dependency written as a tarball URL, such as "pkg": "https://registry.example.com/files/pkg-1.0.0.tgz", is always downloaded with Authorization::NoAuthorization. With this PR it gets configured credentials when the project names the URL.
How installs change
The project names a tarball URL when:
the root, a workspace, or a file: folder that one of them depends on lists it as a dependency, or
it is a value in overrides/resolutions, a catalog or packageExtensions.
For such a URL, Options::tarball_credentials picks the credentials, as it already does for a registry package's tarball, with the default registry as the registry:
the .npmrc line whose key covers the URL, if the URL is https;
otherwise the default registry's credentials, if the URL has the registry's scheme, host and port (the path is not compared);
otherwise nothing configured. Credentials written into the URL are still sent as Basic auth.

This holds for a first install, for an install from bun.lock, for bun add <url>, and for both linkers.
Behavior change for URLs with credentials in them. When the project names https://user:pass@registry.example.com/files/pkg.tgz and configured credentials apply to it, Bun now sends the configured credentials instead of user:pass. Configured credentials already win this way for a registry package's tarball.
Differences from npm
npm sends configured credentials to a tarball URL whoever names it. Bun does not send them to a URL that only another package names.
npm picks the registry from the scope of the name the URL is listed under. Bun always uses the default registry: one download (Task::Id::for_tarball(url)) serves every name that points at the URL. A scoped registry's credentials reach a tarball URL only through an .npmrc line for that URL, over https.
npm compares host and port. Bun also compares the scheme, and applies an .npmrc line over https only. Neither is new here.
Code
generate_network_task_for_tarball derives the scope and the Authorization flag from the package's resolution. Its five callers no longer pass the flag. Each passed what the new rule gives, except the two tarball URL call sites: the first resolve (bind_row_without_manifest) and enqueue_tarball_for_download.
Lockfile::is_tarball_url_of_project(url) answers whether the project names a URL.
OverrideMap::values(), CatalogMap::values() and PackageExtensions::has_specifier() are new. warn_missing_catalog_entries uses the first.
request_remote_package_ahead: while credentials are configured, a tarball URL that the project does not name yet is left to the turn of its dependency. The root's rows are resolved first and workspaces sort first among them, so by that turn the root, the workspaces and their file: folders are in the lockfile. A local tarball that another package lists already waits for its turn the same way.
Limits
A file: folder that only an override selects does not count as part of the project here, unlike in is_local_declarer. It can be resolved after another package that lists the same URL. A first install and an install from bun.lock agree: no configured credentials.
A tarball URL that a tarball URL dependency lists in its own package.json is named by another package, so it gets no configured credentials.
packageExtensions rules are read from package.json. bun patch --commit loads only bun.lock, so if it has to download a URL that only packageExtensions names, it sends no configured credentials.
With any credential configured, a tarball URL that only another package names no longer starts downloading before its turn.

How did you verify your code works?
New describe("a dependency written as a tarball URL") in test/cli/install/npmrc.test.ts, 36 tests against local Bun.serve registries that record the Authorization header of every request.
On a debug build of main, 21 of them fail, because no configured credentials are sent. The other 15 are guards that pass before and after. All 36 pass with this PR.
Credentials are sent: on the default registry's origin outside the registry's path (first install and --frozen-lockfile with a cold cache, both linkers); the registry's token from the environment and from bunfig.toml; bun add <url>; one URL under two names gets one request with the default registry's token; an https URL on another origin gets its own line; the registry's token replaces credentials written into the URL; the token reaches the first hop of a redirect and not another origin.
The project names the URL: the root together with another package, a workspace, a file: folder of the root, a file: folder of a workspace, a catalog, a named catalog, an override, an override under a parent, packageExtensions (also with leading whitespace).
Order: another package lists the URL and is resolved before the file: folder that lists it too, while a held manifest keeps the queue waiting. This test fails without the change to request_remote_package_ahead. With no credentials configured, a URL that only another package lists is still asked for before its turn.
No credentials: a URL that only another package lists, over https, outside every key, under the registry's own key, under a key for the whole host and under a key of its own (both linkers, first install and from bun.lock); credentials written into such a URL are still sent; a file: folder that only an override selects; a scoped registry's token; an http URL on another origin; an http URL on an https registry's host and port; a github: dependency on the registry's origin.
With the override and catalog clause of is_tarball_url_of_project removed, exactly the four override and catalog tests fail.
Also run on the debug build:
All of npmrc.test.ts: 619 pass, 0 fail.
No failures in bun-add, bun-install-retry, bun-install-offline, bun-install-patch, bun-patch, bun-pm-diff, bun-install-streaming-extract, bun-install-tarball-integrity, bun-install-package-extensions, bun-update-transitive, catalogs, overrides, nested-overrides, frozen-lockfile-workspace-names and isolated-install.
bun-install.test.ts and bun-install-git-deps.test.ts: the same 4 and 19 tests fail with and without this PR on the machine used. All of them clone git repositories.
cargo clippy -p bun_install and cargo fmt --all --check are clean.
By hand, with the debug builds of main and of this PR against a local registry that answers 401 without its token: a URL that the root or a workspace lists goes from GET <url> - 401 to installed, on a first install and with --frozen-lockfile. A URL that only a dependency lists gets no Authorization header on either build.
The first test of the new block timed out at the default 5 s twice. Both times it was the first run right after relinking the debug binary, with only the new block selected. It passed in every other run, and I did not find the cause.
… names
A dependency written as a tarball URL was always downloaded without
configured credentials. It now gets them when the project names the URL:
- the root, a workspace, or a `file:` folder that one of them depends on
lists it as a dependency, or
- it is a value in `overrides`, a catalog or `packageExtensions`.
`Options::tarball_credentials` picks the credentials, with the default
registry as the registry: the `.npmrc` line for the URL over https, or else
the default registry's credentials if the URL has its scheme, host and port.
The name the URL is listed under never picks a scoped registry. Configured
credentials win over credentials written into the URL.
A tarball URL that only another package names is still downloaded without
configured credentials, and so is a GitHub tarball.
`generate_network_task_for_tarball` now derives `Authorization` from the
package's resolution, so its callers no longer pass it.
`Lockfile::is_tarball_url_of_project` answers whether the project names a
URL. While credentials are configured, the look-ahead leaves a tarball URL
that the project does not name yet to the turn of its dependency, by which
time the local packages that can name it are resolved.
Tarball URL credential selection now considers whether the URL is listed by the project and whether credentials match its origin. Tarball task generation selects authorization from package resolution. Tests and documentation cover direct and indirect tarball dependencies.
Added checks for tarball URLs listed in project declarations, catalogs, overrides, and package extensions. Package options report whether default-scope or URL-specific credentials are configured.
Task generation now selects scope and authorization based on package resolution. Callers no longer pass authorization explicitly. Remote tarball look-ahead skips credentialed URLs unless they are project tarballs.
Credential behavior tests and documentation test/cli/install/npmrc.test.ts, docs/guides/install/add-tarball.mdx, docs/pm/cli/add.mdx, docs/pm/npmrc.mdx
Tests cover credential selection for direct and indirect tarball URLs, redirects, and lockfile installs. Documentation describes credential matching and no longer limits tarball URLs to public files.

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 credential-routing concerns and ruled them out: the new AllowAuthorization path still goes through Options::tarball_credentials, which keeps the https-only gate on .npmrc lines and the same-origin (scheme, host, port) check for the default registry's token, so no new https-to-http or cross-host leak is opened; and all five callers of generate_network_task_for_tarball (both enqueue_download paths, bind_row_without_manifest, tarball_task, and patch_install) now share the one resolution-tag predicate, so the Npm-only rule that patch_install.rs used to spell locally is preserved rather than widened.
Extended reasoning...
The change makes the package manager send configured registry or .npmrc credentials to remote tarball URL dependencies that the root, a workspace, a workspace-declared file: folder, an override, a catalog, or packageExtensions names, deciding scope and Authorization inside generate_network_task_for_tarball instead of at each caller, and defers ahead-of-time requests for such URLs until local packages are resolved. It directly touches credential handling, which is a security-sensitive surface, and two confirmed findings (an override-selected file: folder gap and a duplicated gate) are posted inline, so a human should still weigh the design and the stated npm divergences.
…urces
- `generate_network_task_for_tarball` no longer asks whether any credential
is configured before it asks whether the project names the URL. The answer
only saved the scan.
- `is_tarball_url_of_project` matches on the resolution tag.
- Tests: the registry's token from the environment and from bunfig.toml
reaches a tarball URL on the registry's origin. With no credentials
configured, a tarball URL that only another package lists is still asked
for before its turn. The held manifest is released before the
authorization check. The repeated `.npmrc` is a helper.
- docs/pm/cli/add.mdx points to the `.npmrc` page for which credentials
apply instead of restating the rule.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
I re-reviewed after ded6aab and found no bugs; the follow-up drops the duplicated credential gate at the grant site in runTasks.rs, so only the look-ahead deferral still checks has_tarball_url_credentials. Because this changes which requests carry configured credentials and settles two deliberate deviations from npm (default registry stands in for the scope; transitive URLs get nothing), a maintainer should still weigh those choices.
What was reviewed:
All eight callers of enqueue_tarball_for_download / enqueue_package_for_download (PopulatePackageCache, isolated_install, PackageInstaller, patch_install): each passes a resolution tag whose new auto-derived Authorization equals what it passed before.
NetworkTask::for_tarball: scope only feeds build_url on the npm path and tarball_credentials, so switching URL deps to options.scope changes nothing but credentials; the redirect same-origin check and the userinfo-to-Basic path are untouched.
is_tarball_url_of_project with no credentials configured: the download then starts ahead of turn with NoAuthorization, which sends nothing either way.
New tests: local Bun.serve only, using cleanup, exact toEqual on recorded Authorization headers, both linkers and the first-install/frozen-lockfile pair.
Extended reasoning...
The PR changes where bun install sends .npmrc/bunfig/env credentials: a dependency written as a remote tarball URL now gets the default registry's credentials when the root, a workspace, a workspace-declared file: folder, an override, a catalog or packageExtensions names the URL, decided inside generate_network_task_for_tarball from the resolution tag instead of a caller-passed Authorization flag, plus a look-ahead deferral in request_remote_package_ahead. That is an authentication surface (credential disclosure to tarball hosts), so approval is withheld even though the second commit addressed one of the two prior inline nits and the call-site audit, for_tarball scope usage and the 33 hermetic tests all check out. The remaining prior nit (override-selected file: folders excluded) is a documented limit the author chose, which a maintainer should confirm along with the deviations from npm.
…ler and the transpiler (#47901)
### What does this PR do?
27 separate changes, one commit each: 15 in `bun_threading`, `bun_alloc`
and a few other low-level crates, and 12 in the bundler and the
transpiler. They follow #47291, #47317, #47338, #47382, #47393, #47414,
#47871, #47893 and #47895 and work the same way: signatures name the
type and the lifetime that the value already has, hand-written pointer
code becomes plain ownership and borrows that the compiler checks, and
what was never needed is deleted.
Together: **98 fewer `unsafe` blocks, 26 fewer `unsafe fn`s and 16 fewer
`unsafe impl`s**, +521/−1440 over 54 files. No safe function became
`unsafe`, and no wrapper type was added. **[Where the compiled code
changes](#where-the-compiled-code-changes) lists every place where the

The commits can be reviewed one at a time.
Worth knowing before reading on:
- **Nothing that users can see changes.** No test is added or changed.
- **Five changes end an aliasing or contract bug that had no visible
effect.**
- Change 12: a worker's `pop(&mut self)` was not exclusive, because
other workers read the same `Thread` through the pool's list while it
ran.
- Change 18: `is_done` held a `&mut Graph` and a `&mut BundleV2` that
contains it at the same time, and `scan_css_imports` was a safe function
that dereferenced the raw pointer it was given.
- Change 21: `process_html_import_files` made a `&mut Graph` over the
whole graph while the source map workers read it.
- Change 26: `ParseTask::init` was a safe function that read through a
`*mut BundleV2`.
- Change 8: `WTFStringImplStruct::ref_count()` read a counter without an
atomic while other threads may change it.
- **Four functions stay `unsafe fn`, with a smaller contract** that
their doc comments state: `ThreadRegistration::new` (change 12),
`BundleThread::enqueue` (19), `do_step5` (24) and `LinkerContext::load`
(25). `LinkerContext::link` is safe now.
- **Locks own what they guard:** `Semaphore` and `Channel` use the
existing `Guarded` (change 1), and `bun_alloc::Mutex::lock` returns a
guard with a real lifetime instead of a transmuted `'static` one (9).
- **The thread pool vouches for what only it can know:** `each_ptr`
gives each task a `&mut V` (change 27), and three contexts hold
`&LinkerContext` (24).
- **`Linker` no longer points into the `Transpiler` that holds it**
(change 22), so nothing has to be re-seated after a move, and
`Transpiler::init` is a struct literal (23).
- **Two functions that C or C++ calls have typed parameters:**
`Bun__lock(&ReleaseImpl)` (change 13) and
`zig__ModuleInfoDeserialized__deinit(Box<ModuleInfoDeserialized>)` (16).
Each message names the call sites and what they pass.
- **Dead code goes:** `MaxHeapAllocator`, `FfiLayout` and three `unsafe
impl Send`/`Sync` that no bound asks for (change 7), two `VecExt`
methods (5), `Transpiler::init_in_place` (23), and three accessors of
`Linker` with `reseat_self_refs` (22).
- **Parts of four changes are compiled only for Windows, macOS or
FreeBSD:** 7 (two arms of `MAX_ALIGN_T`), 11 (the macOS arm of
`Zone::init`), 13 (the lock implementations behind `Bun__lock`) and 19
(one line of `thread_main`).
### Where the compiled code changes
I compared the release assembly (x86-64 Linux, `--emit=asm`) of all 134
crates of the workspace, before and after. For 42 of them the files are
the same byte for byte. The other 92 I compared function by function,
with names demangled and labels normalised. In 77 of the 92 (43,319
functions) no function differs: what differs is line numbers in the
debug information and the paths of the two checkouts. 15 crates differ:

The last five columns are net, and count the functions that exist on one
side only: 7 only before and 8 only after, which were removed, renamed
or inlined, or are no longer inlined. The table leaves out one function
of `bun_sql_jsc` that holds the commit's own hash. Nearly all of the 689
functions that differ only in constants address a field that moved: the
`Transpiler`, which the `VirtualMachine` holds by value, is 24 bytes
smaller (change 22).
**What costs something.** No change adds an allocation, a lock, a
reference count or a test to the source. The compiler's choices differ
in these places:
- **`String::clone` is called at 17 places where it was inlined (change
8).** A `ref` is the same load, test and `lock add` as before, but the
inliner weighs it differently.
- `String::create_if_different` (52 instructions) was called at 16
places in the module loader and had `String::clone` inlined. It is
inlined at those 16 places now and calls `String::clone` (18
instructions), so each path makes as many calls as before.
- At 15 other places in `bun_runtime`, and at one each in `bun_jsc` and
`bun_bundler`, `String::clone` is a call and a return more than before.
They are in `transpile_source_code_of_any_provenance::<false>` and
`transpile_source_code_inner::<true>` (6 together),
`__bun_fetch_builtin_module` (3), the three instances of
`resolve_without_on_resolve`, `Blob::get`, `realpath_inner`,
`Printer::print_dom`, the debug server's `fetch` and
`generate_chunks_in_parallel`.
- `transpile_source_code_of_any_provenance::<false>` goes from 4,573 to
4,651 instructions for it (below), and
`transpile_source_code_inner::<true>` from 2,682 to 2,687 with 3
branches fewer. The other functions named here are between 13 and 51
shorter, except `realpath_inner` (below).
- **`free_sensitive` is a call into `bun_alloc` (change 4).** Without
its type parameter it is compiled once there (20 instructions), and
`Sensitive::drop` calls it (21 to 6). The four closures of
`PasswordJob`, `Bun.password.hash` and `Bun.password.verify` are between
4 and 41 shorter.
- **`Semaphore::wait` goes from 54 to 61 (change 1),** with the same
branches, compares and calls: one `lea` before its wait loop, because
`cond` is not at offset 0, and one more callee-saved register to save
and restore.
- **The one `Channel` is 8 bytes larger (change 1),** 1,072 instead of
1,064, from padding. `render_markdown_file`, which has it on its stack,
goes from 1,007 to 1,013.
- **`generate_symbol_import_and_use` goes from 257 to 269 (change 5),**
with the same 29 branches, 3 compares more and one call fewer. Its loops
are vectorised and unrolled as before with other induction variables,
and the panic for a slice index out of range is gone.
**Checks.** The source makes no check that it did not make before. These
are all the other functions in which the listing shows more conditional
branches, compares or panic call sites than before, and why:
| Function | Listing | Why |
|---|---|---|
| `Resolver::dir_info_cached_miss` | 1,231 to 1,253, +5 branches, +5
compares, +2 calls | Change 9. The compiler lays out the block that
appends two strings to the `BSSStringList` twice, so `append` has 4 call
sites instead of 2. A path runs one of the copies. |
| `NodeFS::realpath_inner` | 615 to 631, +1 branch, +1 compare, +1 call
| Change 8. `Utf8WithString::clone` (78), which only this function
called, is inlined here as its two halves. |
| `SystemError::clone`, `Blob__setAsFile`, `Request`'s constructor | 161
to 165, 61 to 66 and 1,391 to 1,389, +1 branch and +1 compare each |
Change 8. The inlined `String::clone`s test their tags in another order,
and one test is duplicated. |
| `fetch_impl::<false>` | 4,629 to 4,626, +3 branches, +3 compares, same
calls | Change 8. It has a `String::clone` inline. Its frame is 64 bytes
smaller, its registers are allotted differently, and three tests are
laid out twice. |
| `transpile_source_code_of_any_provenance::<false>` | 4,573 to 4,651,
+1 branch, +1 compare, +20 calls | Change 8. It has ten copies of
`String::create_if_different` inline, each with three call sites where
there was one. |
| The main function of the bundle thread | 540 to 566, +2 branches, +2
compares, +1 call | Change 19. One exit is laid out twice, so
`mi_heap_destroy` has 5 call sites instead of 4. |
| `BundleV2::finish_from_bake_dev_server` | 3,953 to 3,963, +2 panic
call sites, no branch or compare more | Change 25. It calls `load`. Two
bounds checks that shared a call of `panic_bounds_check` with others
have their own. |
| `Transpiler::init`, `Transpiler::transform` | 2,035 to 2,010 and 3,865
to 3,862, −4 and −1 branches, +1 panic call site each | Changes 22 and
23. One more copy of the exit for a failed allocation. |
| Change | What differs | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Apart from the above: `Semaphore::post` (39) and
`RawRwLock::unlock_shared` (46), which has it inline, differ in field
offsets. | Same locks, waits and signals in the same order. |
| 5 | `get_ast` goes from 4,054 to 4,044, with 2 branches and 2 calls
fewer. | Two arena allocations fewer per sqlite import. |
| 7 | `MaxHeapAllocator::drop` (9) goes. `write_output_files_to_disk`
goes from 2,794 to 2,770 and loses its 6 call sites. | That `drop` never
had anything to free. |
| 8 | Apart from the above: `String::thread_isolated_copy` goes from 73
to 74. In `bun_jsc`, `dupe_with_content_type` goes from 113 to 103,
`PathLike::clone` from 254 to 247, `run_from_js_thread` from 800 to 801
and the two `collect_row` from 602 to 612. `handle_request_for` of the
two debug servers goes from 348 to 316, and `NodeFS::readdir` from 5,732
to 5,739. | Same counts on the same strings. |
| 9 | An out-of-line `slot_at` (28) stands where the out-of-line
`at_index` of the `DirInfo` map (26) stood. Apart from the row above, 4
functions of `bun_resolver` are shorter (`load_node_modules` by 40,
three by 1), 8 keep their length and 4 are longer (by 1, 2, 8 and 10):
the slot's address is computed in another order, and registers shift
around it. | The locks are taken and released at the same places. |
| 10 | `OverflowList::append` (128), in `bun_resolver`, `bun_jsc` and
`bun_install`, spells one test `> 2047` instead of `>= 2048`. | None. |
| 12 | `ThreadRegistration::drop` goes from 68 to 64 and loses a null
test. `Thread::run`, which has the steal loop inline, is the same. |
Same loads and stores with the same orderings. |
| 13 | `Bun__lock` is the same, and `Mutex::lock` (3) is emitted as an
alias of it. | None. |
| 15 | `PostgresSQLConnection::drop` goes from 94 to 73 and the drop of
its box from 381 to 359, with 6 branches fewer each. | **The byte loop
of volatile stores is one `memset`,** which a `black_box` and a compiler
fence keep. |
| 17 | `print_with_source_map` keeps its 1,217 with 2 branches fewer.
`print_with_source_map_maybe::<false>` goes from 1,008 to 999, and the
two `print_ast_esm_ascii_not_bun_cold` from 86 to 78. | Same output. |
| 18, 24, 27 | `generate_chunks_in_parallel::<false>` goes from 7,546 to
7,524 with 3 branches fewer, `find_all_imported_parts_in_js_order` from
3,258 to 3,255. `scan_imports_and_exports` keeps its 8,343. One instance
of `each_impl::call` (13) has another type argument. | Same tasks on the
same threads. |
| 20 | `start_from_bake_dev_server`, which has
`enqueue_entry_points_dev_server` inline, goes from 346 to 341 with 2
branches fewer. | Same entry points. |
| 22, 23 | Five functions that set the `Linker`'s pointers, or set them
again after a `Transpiler` had moved, are 3 to 6 shorter:
`configure_linker_with_auto_jsx`, `Worker::get`,
`transpiler_for_target`, `initialize_client_transpiler` and
`for_worker`. `Linker::link::<false, true>` keeps its 500, and
`transpile_file::<false>` goes from 839 to 855 with one branch fewer. |
The `Transpiler` goes from 3,040 to 3,016 bytes. |
| 25 | `BundleV2::link` (39) is new: it splits the borrow and calls
`LinkerContext::link`, which goes from 2,617 to 2,562 with 2 branches, 2
calls and a panic site fewer. `load` keeps its 1,996 with one branch
fewer. Of the four callers of `link`, three are 5 shorter and
`bundle_pages` 11. | Same linking. |
Every function that differs and is not named above differs by 4
instructions or fewer. Changes 2, 3, 6, 11, 14, 16, 21 and 26 do not
show up in this comparison. What changes 7, 11, 13 and 19 do to code for
Windows, macOS and FreeBSD is not compiled on Linux.
The comparison covers x86-64 Linux only, one crate at a time. The build
that ships also inlines across crates when it links.
### The changes in detail
#### 1. threading: `Semaphore` and `Channel` keep their state in a
`Guarded`
`Semaphore` had a `Mutex` next to an `UnsafeCell<usize>`, and `Channel`
a `Mutex` next to an `UnsafeCell<LinearFifo>` and a `Cell<bool>`. Every
access to an `UnsafeCell` was an `unsafe` dereference whose reason was
"the mutex is held", and three `unsafe impl Send`/`Sync` repeated it for
the types. `Guarded<T>` is that pair as one type: the same
`bun_threading::Mutex`, the value behind its lock guard, and
`Condition::wait_guarded` waits on the guard's own mutex.
The lock is taken on entry, given up and retaken inside the wait, and
released on return, as before, and the signals are still sent while it
is held.
`Channel::read_item` was the only reader. It went through `read_all` and
`read_items` with a `[MaybeUninit<T>; 1]` cast to `&mut [T; 1]`. It
takes the `Option<T>` of `LinearFifo::read_item` instead, which is
`None` exactly when the fifo is empty, so the separate length test, the
two helpers and the `debug_assert` on the count are gone.
`Send` and `Sync` are derived. For `Channel<T, B>` they ask for `B:
Send` as well as `T: Send`; the one user has a `StaticBuffer<u32, 256>`.
The fields of `Semaphore` are laid out in another order. In the release
assembly `post` differs in field offsets. `wait` goes from 54 to 61
instructions with the same branches, compares and calls: one `lea`
before its wait loop, because `cond` is not at offset 0, and one more
callee-saved register to save and restore.
`Channel<u32, StaticBuffer<u32, 256>>` grows from 1064 to 1072 bytes in
Linux and macOS release builds. No field is added: `State` and `Guarded`
are each padded to a multiple of 8, where the flat struct was padded
once. The bytes that `init_static` zeroes are no longer one run, so it
has one store more. The one user makes one channel per call of
`prefetch_remote_images`, a cold path. In a scratch crate `write_items`
differed in field offsets only, and `read_item` made the same calls in
the same order.
The two `[bun_threading]` entries of `mordant-baseline.toml` counted the
removed impls. They are deleted, and the section with them.
#### 2. threading: `Task::from_node` is a cast, and `Batch::pop` reads
its own `len`
`Task::from_node` was an `unsafe fn` around `from_field_ptr!(Task, node,
..)`. `node` is the first field of the `repr(C)` `Task`, which `node_of`
already asserts at compile time for the opposite direction, so the
subtraction is by zero. It is a safe pointer cast with the same
assertion, and its three callers lose their blocks. `Thread::run` and
`drain_idle_events` still dereference the result in `unsafe`.
`Batch::pop` only stores it in `self.head`, and the next `pop`
dereferences it.
`Batch::pop(&mut self)` viewed `self.len` as an `AtomicUsize` to load
it. `&mut self` is exclusive, so it is a plain read.
The release assembly of `bun_threading` is the same before and after.
#### 3. threading: `IntrusiveWorkTask` and `OwnedTask` are safe traits
Both were `unsafe trait`s without a promise of their own.
`IntrusiveWorkTask` said its contract is inherited from its supertrait
`IntrusiveField<Task>`, which stays `unsafe` and which
`intrusive_field!` implements with `offset_of!`. The trait only adds two
provided methods that forward to the supertrait. `OwnedTask::__callback`
passes what `from_task_ptr` returns to `Box::from_raw`, so a type must
not be able to replace that method in safe code: there is one blanket
impl for every `IntrusiveField<Task>` instead of an impl per type, and
both arms of `intrusive_work_task!` expand to `intrusive_field!` alone.
`OwnedTask` said that `run` executes on a worker thread, which is the
`Send` bound. `schedule_owned` gives the box away and relies on nothing
else that an implementor writes: a replaced `__callback` can only leak
the box unless it has `unsafe` of its own.
The `unsafe impl Send` in `owned_task!` stays. No code changes: the same
methods are called on the same types.
#### 4. alloc: `secure_zero` takes `&mut [u8]`
`secure_zero(p: *mut u8, len: usize)` was an `unsafe fn`, and three of
its four callers took apart bytes they held safely to call it: a `&mut
[u8]` (`Data::zdeinit`), a `&mut Box<[u8]>` (`zero_sensitive`) and a
`Box<[T]>` (`free_sensitive`). It takes the slice and is safe.
`<[u8]>::fill` is specialised to `write_bytes`, in debug builds too, so
it is still one `memset`, followed by the same `black_box` and fence.
`Data::zdeinit` passes the slice it has, and `zero_sensitive` its box,
which coerces. `free_sensitive` was generic over `T: Copy` and cast to
bytes; its one caller has a `Box<[u8]>`, so it takes that.
`free_sensitive_cstr` has only a C string, and builds the slice inside
the `unsafe` block it already had.
Without its type parameter `free_sensitive` is compiled once, in
`bun_alloc` (20 instructions in release mode), and `Sensitive::drop` in
`bun_runtime` calls it where it held a copy (21 to 6 instructions). The
release assembly of `bun_sql` and `bun_s3_signing` is the same before
and after.
#### 5. collections: drop `VecExt::from_bump_slice` and
`VecExt::writable_slice`
The two `unsafe fn`s had three callers between them, all in the bundler,
and `Vec` serves each of them.
The sqlite loader in `ParseTask` filled two arena slices with defaults,
overwrote them, and had `from_bump_slice` copy them into new `Vec`s. It
builds the `Vec`s from the values: `init_one` for the property and
`from_arena_slice` for the two arguments, the form
`require_embedded_asset` above uses for its one argument. The
`Expr::init` calls keep their order. Two arena allocations, their
default values and the drop of the default property are gone.
`generate_symbol_import_and_use` took an uninitialised tail from
`writable_slice` and assigned to it in a zip loop. `extend` over a
mapped slice iterator is `TrustedLen`: one reserve, raw writes and one
store of the length, which comes after the loop instead of before it.
The closure is `move` so that it holds the index by value even where
`extend` is not inlined. `Dependency.source_index` takes
`source_index_to_import_from` as it is: `crate::Index` is
`bun_ast::Index`, so `Index::init(x.get())` was an identity. The
parameter was `impl Into<Index>`, and every caller passes an `Index`, so
it is `Index`. In release mode the function goes from 257 to 269
instructions, with the same 29 branches, 3 compares more and one call
fewer: the loops are vectorised and unrolled as before with other
induction variables, and the panic for a slice index out of range is
gone.
Eleven comments named the two methods: six in `vec_ext.rs` and one each
in `ast_alloc.rs`, `bun_core/lib.rs`,
`computeCrossChunkDependencies.rs`, `renameSymbolsInChunk.rs` and
`p.rs`. The last two were already wrong about the code below them.
#### 6. sema: the stand-ins that ignore their arguments are safe `extern
"C" fn`s
Eleven of the `#[no_mangle]` stand-ins for C and C++ symbols in
`src/sema/standalone` (ten in `native_libraries.rs`, one in `native.rs`)
were `unsafe extern "C" fn` although every parameter is unused: four
return a constant and seven panic. No argument can make them misbehave,
so they are safe, like `Bun__AOT__addressOfOffsetInCode` and the other
stand-ins next to them that take no pointer.
Nothing names them in Rust. The crates that import them declare the
symbols themselves, so no caller changes, and neither does the compiled
code.
#### 7. alloc, opaque: remove dead code that carried `unsafe`
`MaxHeapAllocator`: `init` sets its private `ptr` to `None` and no
method allocates, so the `dealloc` in `Drop` never ran and the `unsafe
impl Send` and `Sync` guarded nothing. Its only users were three locals
and a per-chunk `scope()` guard in `write_output_files_to_disk`, which
their own comments called placeholders. `MAX_ALIGN_T`, with its Windows
and FreeBSD aarch64 arms, had no other use. That function loses three
calls to the `Drop` impl and one store of `len = 0` per chunk.
`unsafe impl Send`/`Sync for BSSList`: the list is only reached as a
`*mut` out of the `AtomicPtr` static of `bss_singleton!`, which asks for
neither.
`unsafe impl Send for Zone`: `OnceLock<&'static Zone>` needs `Zone:
Sync`, which stays.
`unsafe trait FfiLayout` and its `unsafe impl` in `assert_ffi_layout!`:
the trait was never a bound and its two constants were never read. The
`const` assertions of the macro stay. The `[bun_opaque]` entry of
`mordant-baseline.toml` counted the two constants and goes with them.
`opaque_deref_mut_nn` had one caller, `opaque_deref_mut`, and is merged
into it. Its `debug_assert` for null went: the pointer comes out of a
`NonNull`.
Apart from `MaxHeapAllocator::drop`, the release assembly of `bun_alloc`
and `bun_core` is the same before and after.
#### 8. alloc: `WTFStringImplStruct::m_ref_count` is an `AtomicU32`
The C++ field is `std::atomic<uint32_t> m_refCount` (StringImpl.h:162).
The Rust mirror declared it `Cell<u32>` and had a private accessor that
turned the cell's address into an `&AtomicU32` with
`AtomicU32::from_ptr` for `is_static`, `ref` and `deref`. The field has
the atomic type itself, which has the size and alignment of `u32`, and
the accessor is gone. The struct stays `!Freeze`, and `!Send` and
`!Sync` through its other fields. Its doc comment said that `ref` and
`deref` let C++ write the count; they do it in Rust. One line says who
writes the two interior-mutable fields.
`ref_count()` read the cell without an atomic. It does a relaxed load,
as `StringImpl::refCount()` does (StringImpl.h:429), so it does not race
with another thread's `ref` or `deref`. It has four callers: three
`debug_assert`s and `Any::memory_cost`. The orderings of the other three
are unchanged.
The release assembly of `bun_alloc` is the same. In `bun_core` one
function differs, `String::thread_isolated_copy`, which touches no
count: it tests the two tags in the other order and uses one `add` more
to address the 16 bytes it copies. The crates that use
`bun_core::String` emit the same load, test and `lock add` for a `ref`,
but the inliner chooses differently around them. In `bun_runtime`,
`String::create_if_different` (52 instructions) was called at 16 places
and had `String::clone` inlined. It is inlined at those places and calls
`String::clone` (18 instructions). At 15 other places in `bun_runtime`,
and at one each in `bun_jsc` and `bun_bundler`, `String::clone` is
called where it was inlined.
#### 9. alloc: `Mutex::lock` returns a guard that borrows the mutex
`bun_alloc::Mutex::lock` transmuted the `std::sync::MutexGuard<'_, ()>`
to `'static` and wrapped it in its own `MutexGuard`, so that `&mut self`
methods could be called while the guard was alive. Only one place needed
that: `BSSMapInner::get` calls `self.at_index(..)` under the lock.
`get_or_put`, `mark_not_found`, `put` and `remove` only touch sibling
fields, and the four callers that have a `*mut Self` dereference it for
every access.
`lock` returns `std::sync::MutexGuard<'_, ()>`. The body of `at_index`
moves, with its `unsafe` block, into a private `slot_at` that takes the
two fields it reads, and `at_index` and `get` call that. In `get` the
compiler now checks that nothing borrows the mutex mutably while it is
locked.
Four comments said that the guard stores a raw pointer. It held the
`std` guard, which is a reference. Those sentences are deleted. What
they concluded was not true either, and is unchanged:
`(*this).do_append(..)` and `(*this).append_overflow_uninit()` still
form a `&mut Self` that spans `mutex` while the guard holds `&mutex`;
the borrow checker does not follow borrows through a raw pointer.
The locks are taken and released at the same places. The release
assembly of `bun_alloc` is the same. In `bun_resolver`, where the map is
instantiated, an out-of-line `slot_at` (28 instructions) stands where
the out-of-line `at_index` of the `DirInfo` map (26) stood.
#### 10. alloc: use the reference `MaybeUninit::write` returns, and
index a checked slot
`OverflowListBlock::append` and `BSSMapInner::put` wrote a slot with
`MaybeUninit::write`, dropped the `&mut T` it returns, and indexed the
slot again for `unsafe { assume_init_mut() }`. They keep the returned
reference. In `append` it borrows `items` while the sibling `used` is
stored, in the same order as before.
`BSSListOverflowBlock::append_uninit` returns `Err` when `index >=
BSS_LIST_CHUNK_SIZE` and then did `as_mut_ptr().add(index)` in `unsafe`.
`&raw mut self.data[index]` is the same address; the array has
`BSS_LIST_CHUNK_SIZE` elements, so its bounds check repeats the test
above it.
The release assembly of `bun_alloc` is the same before and after. In
`bun_resolver`, which instantiates all three, `OverflowList::append`
spells one test `> 2047` instead of `>= 2048`, and the rest is the same.
#### 11. alloc: `Zone::init` takes `&'static CStr`
Both `cfg` arms of `heap_breakdown::Zone::init` were `unsafe fn(name:
*const c_char)` whose contract was "NUL-terminated and valid for the
whole process". That is `&'static CStr`, so the function takes one and
is safe. The macOS arm keeps its `unsafe` block for
`malloc_set_zone_name` and `&*zone`.
Its one caller, `get_zone!`, built the pointer from `concat!($name,
"\0")` in an `unsafe` block. It passes the literal on, and the two users
of `c_thunks_for_zone!` write `c"brotli"` and `c"zlib"`.
Zones exist only in macOS debug builds without ASAN (`ENABLED`). There
`init` receives a pointer and a length instead of a pointer, once per
zone. Elsewhere the call is dead code: the release assembly of
`bun_alloc`, `bun_zlib` and `bun_brotli` on Linux is the same before and
after. The macOS arm passes `cargo check --target aarch64-apple-darwin`.
#### 12. threading: a worker's `Thread` is only ever borrowed shared
`Thread::run` took `&raw mut self_` and dereferenced it in `unsafe` to
call `pop` and, twice, `drain_idle_events`, and `ThreadPool::register`
stored `(*thread).next` in `unsafe`. `drain_idle_events` and every
method of `Queue` and `Buffer` already take `&self`. `pop` took `&mut
self` only to store `self.target`, and that `&mut` was not exclusive:
while a worker is in `pop`, other workers read its `next`, `run_queue`
and `run_buffer` through the pool's list.
`next` and `target` are `Cell<*mut Thread>`, which keeps them at offsets
0 and 8. `next` is set before the compare-exchange that publishes the
thread and only read afterwards; `target` is used by its own worker
alone. Each field says so. `pop` takes `&self`, `run` calls the methods
on its local, and `ThreadRegistration` holds `&'a Thread`.
`register` had one caller, `ThreadRegistration::new`, and is written
into it, so no safe fn leaves the address of a `&Thread` in the pool's
list. `new` stays `unsafe`: a leaked guard would leave `CURRENT` and
that list pointing at a dead stack frame, and `pool` has to count the
calling thread in `spawned`, which `unregister` subtracts from.
`unregister` takes `Option<&Thread>` instead of `*mut Thread`, which has
the same ABI: `drop` passes `Some(self.thread)`, `warm` and
`notify_slow` pass `None`, and the step through `NonNull` and `BackRef`
is gone.
The steal loop reads and writes the same fields in the same order with
the same orderings: the release assembly of `Thread::run`, into which
`pop` is inlined, is the same before and after. One function of
`bun_threading` differs: `ThreadRegistration::drop` loses the null test
of `unregister`'s `maybe_thread` (68 to 64 instructions).
#### 13. threading: `Bun__lock` takes `&ReleaseImpl`
`Bun__lock` was `unsafe extern "C" fn(ptr: *mut ReleaseImpl)` around
`(*ptr).lock()`. Only C calls it, at six places in
`packages/bun-usockets/src`:
- `fault_inject.c:44`, `:54`, `:63` and `:73` pass `&us_fault_lock`, a
`static zig_mutex_t`.
- `loop.c:376` and `:400` pass `&loop->data.mutex`, a field of the
`us_loop_t` that `us_create_loop` gets from `us_xcalloc`.
Both are non-null and zero-initialised, which is the unlocked state of
the futex, `os_unfair_lock` and SRWLOCK implementations. `zig_mutex_t`
is `uint32_t`, `os_unfair_lock` or `void *`, which have the alignment of
the Rust types. Every caller goes on to use the data that the mutex
guards, so the object is live for the whole call. All three
implementations are interior-mutable, so a shared reference lets other
threads lock at the same time.
`Bun__unlock` keeps its raw pointer, for the reason `Mutex::unlock_raw`
gives.
`Bun__lock` compiles to the same instructions. It now equals
`Mutex::lock` down to the parameter attributes, so in the Linux release
build LLVM emits `Mutex::lock` as an alias of it. The Windows and macOS
implementations pass `cargo check` for their targets.
#### 14. ptr: `DebugData::deinit` takes `&self`
`DebugData` is the canary that `RefCount` and `ThreadSafeRefCount` carry
in builds with `debug_assertions`. Its `deinit` took `&mut self` to
clear `magic: u32`. `RefCount::deref`, `ThreadSafeRefCount::deref` and
`ThreadSafeRefCount::release` have a `&` to the count in scope, so each
of them projected the field from the raw pointer a second time, in
`unsafe`, to get a `&mut` next to that `&`.
`magic` is an `AtomicU32` that is read and written relaxed, `deinit`
takes `&self`, and the three callers write `count.debug.deinit()`.
Release builds contain none of this: the release assembly of `bun_ptr`
is the same before and after. In debug builds the plain load and store
of `magic` become relaxed atomic ones.
#### 15. sql: `PostgresSQLConnection::drop` zeroes `options_buf` with
`secure_zero`
`drop` cleared the buffer that holds the connection options, the
password among them, with its own loop of one `write_volatile` per byte
in `unsafe`. `bun_alloc::secure_zero` takes the `&mut [u8]` and is safe,
and `bun_sql_jsc` already depends on `bun_alloc`.
The compiled code changes: the byte loop becomes one `memset`, which a
`black_box` on the pointer and a compiler fence keep rustc's LLVM
backend from removing. `write_volatile` is guaranteed by the language
and `black_box` is documented as best effort; this is the form
`secure_zero`'s doc comment argues for, and the other Rust code that
zeroes a secret it owns uses it (`Data::zdeinit`, `zero_sensitive`,
`free_sensitive`, `free_sensitive_cstr`).
#### 16. bundler: `zig__ModuleInfoDeserialized__deinit` takes the `Box`
that it drops
The exported function took `*mut ModuleInfoDeserialized`. It turned the
argument into a `NonNull` with `unwrap_unchecked`, turned that back into
a raw pointer, and passed it to `ModuleInfoDeserialized::deinit`, an
`unsafe fn` with no other caller whose body was
`drop(heap::take(this))`.
The parameter is now `Box<ModuleInfoDeserialized>` and the body is
`drop(info)`. That is what C++ passes: `ResolvedSource.module_info` is
an `Option<Box<ModuleInfoDeserialized>>`, and C++ gives back the pointer
that it found in that field. A `Box` of a sized type is passed as that
pointer, and `heap::take` is `Box::from_raw`, so the same box is
dropped. As a `Box` the parameter is `noalias`, `nonnull` and aligned
for LLVM. No `unsafe` is left in the function. `deinit`, the `NonNull`
import and `use bun_core;` are gone.
A `Box` is never null and is owned by the callee. The four C++ call
sites hold to both. `Bun__analyzeTranspiledModule`
(BunAnalyzeTranspiledModule.cpp) has returned early if `m_moduleInfo` is
null, and `releaseModuleInfo` (ZigGlobalObject.cpp) gets a provider only
if it is set; both set the field to null after the call.
`~SourceProvider` (ZigSourceProvider.cpp) and `~ErrorableResolvedSource`
(headers-handwritten.h) test the pointer in an `if`, and the object that
held it is gone afterwards. `m_moduleInfo` gets its value only from
`std::exchange(resolvedSource.module_info, nullptr)`, so the two objects
never hold the same pointer.
#### 17. transpiler: `print_with_source_map` takes `Option<&mut
ModuleInfo>`
The two callers that collect a module record own it in a local
`Option<Box<ModuleInfo>>`. They turned `as_deref_mut()` into an
`Option<*mut ModuleInfo>`, which went through four functions of
`Transpiler`, all safe, one of them public, until `print_ast_esm_ascii`
turned it back into the `Option<&mut ModuleInfo>` that
`js_printer::Options` holds.
The four functions now take `Option<&mut ModuleInfo>` and the two
callers pass `module_info.as_deref_mut()`. They touch the box again only
after the call has returned. The third caller, in `AsyncModule`, passes
`None` as before.
The argument is one pointer with null for `None`, where it was a tag and
a pointer.
#### 18. bundler: five `unsafe` blocks that plain borrows replace
`StaticRouteVisitor` held `&'a LinkerContext<'a>`. `LinkerContext` is
invariant in its lifetime, so no borrow of the `&mut LinkerContext<'a>`
that `generate_chunks_in_parallel` gets has that type, and the borrow
was detached. The struct now has two lifetimes, `&'a
LinkerContext<'ctx>`, and holds `&*c`. Up to the visitor's last use `c`
is only used shared; `write_output_files_to_disk(c, ..)` is in the other
arm of the `if`.
`is_done` called `(*this).graph.drain_deferred_tasks(&mut *this)`: a
`&mut Graph` and a `&mut BundleV2` that contains it, both live.
`drain_deferred_tasks` is now a method of `BundleV2` that names
`self.graph.*`. It stays in Graph.rs, next to the counters it moves.
`scan_css_imports` was a safe function that took `*const [CssCol]` and
dereferenced it. It takes `&[CssCol]`. `finish_from_bake_dev_server` has
a slice and passes it. `scan_imports_and_exports` has column pointers
and uses `col_ref!`, as it does for the arguments next to this one.
`find_imported_files_in_css_order` cast a slice to `*const [LayerName]`
and dereferenced it, as a cast "between shadow types".
`crate::bun_css::LayerName` re-exports
`::bun_css::css_parser::LayerName`, so there is one type and the `match`
yields `&[LayerName]`. For the same reason the
`.cast::<Vec<LayerName>>()` on each of the two pointers that the
function hands to `Layers::borrow` cast to the type it already had. Both
are gone, with the comments there, on `Layers::borrow` and in
`prepareCssAstsForChunk.rs` that spoke of two types. `Layers::borrow`, a
safe function whose result `inner()` dereferences, took a `NonNull` for
those casts. It takes `&Vec<LayerName>`, and `BackRef::new` stores the
same pointer.
`run_resolver` kept the slot from `get_or_put` as `*mut u32` in both
arms. With `self.graph.build_graphs[target]` written out, which is the
body of `path_to_source_index_map`, the arm for an existing entry reads
`*entry.value_ptr` next to `self.graph.ast`. The other arm calls
`enqueue_parse_task(&mut self)` before it fills the slot and keeps the
pointer.
The operations and their order stay the same at all five sites.
#### 19. bundler: `BundleThread::enqueue` takes `&self`; `generation` is
a local of the thread
`generation` was a field that only `thread_main` read and wrote, through
the raw `instance` pointer. It was also the only field written after the
thread has set `ready_event`, and so the reason why no thread could hold
a `&BundleThread`.
It is now a local of `thread_main`. After `waker` is written, every
thread only reads the fields or uses the atomics in `ready_event` and
`queue`, so `thread_main` takes one `&*instance` there, in place of a
dereference each for `ready_event.set()`, `queue.pop()`, `waker.wait()`
and, on Windows, `waker.uv_loop()`.
`enqueue` was an `unsafe fn(*mut Self, *mut C)` that rebuilt a `NonNull`
with `new_unchecked`. Its one caller has a `NonNull<C>` and passed
`.as_ptr()`. It is now `unsafe fn enqueue(&self, NonNull<C>)`. The types
say that the instance is live and that the task is not null, and the
body has no `unsafe` block: `UnboundedQueue::push` and `Waker::wake` are
safe `&self` functions on every platform. It stays `unsafe` for the one
obligation that no type carries: `completion` must be a live task node
that stays valid until the bundle thread has run or freed it, because
`thread_main` dereferences what it pops. The caller dereferences the
singleton pointer and calls `enqueue` in one block, where it called the
old function.
The counter moves from the heap allocation to the thread's stack or a
register. The calls and their order stay the same.
#### 20. bundler: `enqueue_entry_points_dev_server` borrows the
transpiler where it uses it
The loop picked the client or the server transpiler at its top and kept
it as `*mut Transpiler`, because a borrow would have held `self` across
the plugin dispatch that follows. The pointer was dereferenced three
times further down: for `resolve_entry_point`, and twice in its error
arm for `log`.
The transpiler is now picked after the plugin dispatch, right before
`resolve_entry_point`, as a `&mut`. What that call returns borrows only
`abs_path` and `dot_slash`, so `self` is free again in both arms. The
error arm first copies `transpiler.log` and uses the copy; the
dereference for `reset()` stays.
The pick now runs only for entry points that no plugin matched. It has
no side effect here: the one caller is the dev server, which sets
`linker.dev_server` and `client_transpiler` before, so
`transpiler_for_target` only selects a pointer.
#### 21. bundler: `process_html_import_files` borrows four fields of the
parse graph
The function went through the raw `parse_graph` pointer five times, four
of them in every iteration. One of the five,
`(*parse_graph).path_to_source_index_map(..)`, made a `&mut Graph` over
the whole graph only to call `get(&self)` on one map, while the source
map workers that `link` has just scheduled read the same graph. A sixth
block made a `&mut Symbol` with `symbol_mut` to set `link`, which is a
`Cell`.
One block now borrows the four fields that are used:
`html_imports.html_source_indices` mutably, and
`html_imports.server_source_indices`, `input_files` and `build_graphs`
shared. The workers hold `&Graph` and `&BundleV2` at that time, and of
the graph they read only `input_files` and `pool`. The symbol comes from
`LinkerGraph::symbol`, which is `symbols.get_const(..).expect(..)`.
`get_const` has the same two guards as `get` and no bounds check either.
`symbol` was compiled only with `debug_assertions`, because its one user
was, and loses that `cfg`.
The loop iterates over `server_source_indices` instead of indexing it,
which drops one bounds check per iteration, and the `source` column and
the browser map are looked up once instead of per iteration.
#### 22. transpiler: `Linker` takes what it reads as parameters instead
of pointing into its `Transpiler`
`Transpiler` holds its `Linker` by value. The `Linker` held three raw
pointers back into the same `Transpiler`: `options`, `resolve_queue` and
`resolve_results`. They were null after `Transpiler::init`, were set by
`configure_linker*`, and had to be set again by `wire_after_move` after
each move. Three accessors dereferenced them.
`resolve_queue` and `resolve_results` served only
`enqueue_resolve_result`, which has one caller,
`Transpiler::enqueue_entry_points`. It is now an associated function
that gets `&mut self.resolve_results` and `&mut self.resolve_queue`.
`options` served only two scalar reads at the top of `link`, which now
takes `options: &BundleOptions<'_>`. Its two callers in `Transpiler`
pass `&self.options`. The two callers outside the crate, in
`AsyncModule` and `jsc_hooks`, pass `&(*jsc_vm).transpiler.options` in
the `unsafe` block they already have; that is the field the pointer
pointed to, because the VM calls `configure_linker*` on the transpiler
in place.
`Linker` is left with `log`, and `Linker::init` takes only that. The
three accessors and `reseat_self_refs` are gone.
`link` gets the address in an argument register instead of loading it
from `self`, `Transpiler` is 24 bytes smaller, and the debug assertions
that the pointers are not null are gone with the pointers.
#### 23. transpiler: `Transpiler::init` builds its value with a struct
literal
`init` made a `MaybeUninit<Transpiler>` on its stack and passed it to
`init_in_place`, which wrote the twelve fields with
`addr_of_mut!(..).write(..)`. `init` then returned
`Ok(slot.assume_init())`. `init_in_place` was meant for callers that own
the final storage, but it is `pub(crate)` and `init` was its only
caller: the VM, in another crate, calls `init` and writes the result
into its field.
`init` now has the body of `init_in_place` and ends in `Ok(Transpiler {
.. })`, with the fields in the same order, so the calls that compute
them run in the same order. All the fallible work still comes first.
No large value is moved more often than before. The options went from a
local into the slot and now go from the same local into the literal. The
resolver went from the result of `Resolver::init1` into the slot and now
goes into the literal. The whole struct went from the slot into the `Ok`
and now goes from the literal into the `Ok`.
The message of the panic for a null `log` names `init` instead of
`init_in_place`.
#### 24. bundler: three worker contexts that only read the linker hold
`&LinkerContext`
`find_all_imported_parts_in_js_order` and `run_walks` put
`ParentRef::from_ref_mut(this)` in the context they hand to `each_ptr`,
and each task turned it back with `unsafe { &*ctx.c.as_mut_ptr() }`. The
first of the two built a whole `GenerateChunkCtx` and used only its `c`.
Step 5 of `scan_imports_and_exports` wrapped a `*mut LinkerContext` in a
struct with its own `unsafe impl Sync`, and `do_step5` began with
`&*this`.
The three contexts now hold `&LinkerContext`. `each` and `each_ptr` ask
for `Ctx: Sync`, which `&LinkerContext` has through the existing `unsafe
impl Sync for LinkerContext`. `find_all_imported_parts_in_js_order` and
`run_walks` took `&mut LinkerContext` for `from_ref_mut`, and
`find_safe_walks` took it to call `run_walks`. All three take
`&LinkerContext`, and `do_step5` takes `&self`. It stays an `unsafe fn`:
the caller must give each concurrent call its own rows.
While the pool runs, the calling thread is blocked in `each` /
`each_ptr` and holds only shared borrows of the linker: the context and
`worker_pool()`. The tasks hold `&LinkerContext`, as before, and write
the rows and the one column they own through the raw pointers of
`split_raw(&self)`, which come from the buffer pointer stored in the
list and not from the reference.
`unsafe impl Send for PrepareCssAstTask` is removed: no bound asks for
it. The tasks stay in a local `Vec` and reach the pool as `*mut Task`.
The change is in the types only, with two exceptions.
`find_all_imported_parts_in_js_order` no longer forms the two unused
pointers into `chunks`. And the attributes of the changed parameters
follow their types: the three that were `&mut LinkerContext` lose
`noalias` and `dereferenceable`, which a `&` to a type with atomics in
it does not get, and `do_step5`'s, which was a raw pointer, gains
`nonnull` and `align`.
#### 25. bundler: `LinkerContext::load` and `link` take the fields they
use, not `*mut BundleV2`
Both were `unsafe fn(&mut self, bundle: *mut BundleV2, ..)`, because
`self.linker.link(self, ..)` does not borrow-check. All five callers
hold a `&mut BundleV2` or the `Box`, and each made a raw pointer from it
in an `unsafe` block to project `linker`, `graph.entry_points` and
`graph.server_component_boundaries`. Inside there were nine more blocks:
five project or read a field of `*bundle` that is disjoint from `linker`
(`graph`, `dynamic_import_entry_points`, `transpiler`,
`has_any_top_level_await_modules`, `unique_key`), two read the graph
through `self.parse_graph`, one builds the resolver's `ParentRef`
through a pointer cast, and one is `link`'s call of `load`.
`load` now takes `&mut Graph`, `&Transpiler` and the `&mut` map of
dynamic import entry points, which the callers borrow as disjoint fields
next to `&mut self.linker`. It reads the entry points, the boundaries,
the sources and the original names from the graph. The pointer cast that
"erased" the resolver's lifetime is gone: the lifetime was `'a` already.
`link` takes the `bool` and the `u64` it read from the bundle and no
longer calls `load`. The new `BundleV2::link` calls both, and four
callers call that. The dev server only loads, and calls `load` as
before.
`load` stays an `unsafe fn`, with a smaller contract. That its arguments
are valid and disjoint from `self` is now checked by the compiler. What
is left is that `self` keeps the raw `parse_graph` pointer and a
`ParentRef` to the transpiler's resolver after those borrows have ended,
and that safe accessors such as `parse_graph()` and `resolver()`
dereference them later. So both arguments must be those of the
`BundleV2` that holds `self`. `BundleV2::link` and the dev server call
`load` in one `unsafe` block each. `link` is a safe function. It relies
on `load` having run, like its callees `parse_graph()` and
`compute_chunks`, which are safe functions too.
`load` is separate so that no `&mut Graph` is live while the pool works
on this bundle. It runs after parsing is over and before any task of the
link step is scheduled, and its borrows end when it returns.
`BundleV2::link`'s own `&mut self` does span the link step, and the
workers' pointers derive from it. `generate_from_cli` and
`generate_from_bake_production_cli` held only the `Box` and a raw
pointer there. `LinkerContext::link`, which schedules the source map
tasks and step 5, holds `&mut LinkerContext` as before, and two fewer
borrows into the graph: the entry points and the boundaries were
parameters of it.
`load` is called from `BundleV2::link` instead of from
`LinkerContext::link`, and the two scalars are read before
`LinkerContext::link` is called instead of during it. Nothing writes
them while linking. The stores in `load` keep their order.
#### 26. bundler: the back-pointers of the tasks name the bundle's
lifetime
`ParseTask<'a>` and `ServerComponentParseTask<'a>` carry the bundle's
`'a`, but their `ctx` was a `ParentRef<BundleV2<'static>, Mut>`. Nine
places fill it. The six in `ParseTask.rs` and `bundle_v2.rs` have the
bundle as `BundleV2<'a>`, so each wrote `unsafe {
ParentRef::from_raw_mut(p.cast::<BundleV2<'static>>()) }`. In the five
in `bundle_v2.rs`, `p` is `ptr::from_mut` of the bundle. The sixth is
`ParseTask::init`, a safe function that took `*mut BundleV2<'a>` and
read through it; its five callers all pass `self`. The three places in
`aot` (`plugins.rs`, `native_plugins.rs` and `components.rs`) fill `ctx`
from a `BundleV2<'static>` carrier and do not change.
`SourceMapDataTask` did the same as the six with
`LinkerContext<'static>`.
`ctx` is now `ParentRef<BundleV2<'a>, Mut>`, and those six places use
the safe `ParentRef::from_ref_mut(self)`. `init` takes `&mut
BundleV2<'a>`. `SourceMapDataTask` and `SourceMapData` get the linker's
`'a`, and their `ctx` is `ParentRef::new(&*self)`. `ParseTask<'a>` is
now invariant in `'a`. Only the runtime's task relied on shortening
`'static`, so `RuntimeSource` and the functions that make it are generic
over `'a`.
The worker side does not change. The thread pool callbacks recover the
task from its intrusive field as `ParseTask<'static>`, and so on, as
before, so `Result.ctx` and the code in `aot` keep `BundleV2<'static>`.
The pointers have the same value and provenance as before:
`ptr::from_mut(self)` and `ptr::from_ref(self)` reborrowed `self` too.
In `init` the reborrow is now the parameter. It lasts for that call, on
the bundle thread, inside a caller that holds `&mut BundleV2` anyway.
The change is in the types only, apart from the `noalias` and
`dereferenceable` attributes that `init`'s parameter gets as a `&mut`.
#### 27. threading: `ThreadPool::each_ptr` hands each task a `&mut V`
`each_ptr` takes `values: &mut [V]`, makes one task per index, and
blocks until all of them are done. It passed each task a `*mut V`. All
six callbacks, which are all in the bundler, dereferenced it with the
reason "`each_ptr` hands each task a distinct pointer". Five began with
`unsafe { &mut *ptr }`. The sixth, `run_nested_rename_task`, read two
fields at its start and wrote one at its end. That the pointers are
distinct and live is something only the pool can know.
The callback is now `Fn(&Ctx, &mut V, usize)`. `each_impl` has the
exclusive borrow of the slice, does not use it while the tasks run, and
gives each index to one task, so the block that computed `&raw mut
(*values)[i]` makes `&mut (*values)[i]` instead. The bound is
higher-ranked, so a callback cannot keep the reference, and `V: Send`
was required already. `EachCall::call` is a safe function now. Its
`ByValue` impl, which serves `each` and `each_while`, copies out of the
reference. Apart from step 5 of the linker, which passes its own
snapshot of the reachable files, every caller of those two passes a
fresh `vec[(); n]`.
No `&mut` lives longer than before in the five callbacks that made one
on entry. `generate_chunk` reads the other chunks through `ctx.chunks`
while each task holds the `&mut` to its own, as it did before.
The address and the bounds check are the same. What changes are the
attributes of the callbacks' parameter: as a `&mut V` it is `noalias`
and `dereferenceable`. Four of the six callbacks pass it on, and their
callees had these attributes on the same pointer already:
`post_process_js_chunk`, `post_process_css_chunk` and
`post_process_html_chunk` under `generate_chunk`, `generate_js_renamer_`
under `generate_js_renamer`, and `find_imported_parts_in_js_order` and
`EntryWalk::run` under the two closures. For `finish_js_renamer` and
`run_nested_rename_task` they are new; neither uses another way to reach
its value.
The doc of `GenerateChunkCtx` said that `each_ptr` asks for `Ctx: Sync +
Copy`. It asks for `Sync`.
### How did you verify your code works?
- **Static checks on the final commits:** `cargo fmt --check`, `cargo
clippy --workspace` (0 warnings), the source lints and `cargo check
--workspace --release` on Linux, and `cargo check --workspace --release`
for `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`, `aarch64-apple-darwin` and
`x86_64-unknown-freebsd`, because four changes touch code that Linux
does not compile.
- **Assembly:** the comparison above.
- **After the assembly comparison and the tests had run,** three more
commits went into #47895, which is under these, and a rebase brought in
one more commit of `main` (#47900). Together they touch 17 files, none
of which this PR touches, and they left all 27 patches here as they
were. The static checks ran after that.
- **30 test files on the final code,** on a debug build with ASAN, all
started at once and each stopped after 50 seconds: 22 files of
`test/bundler` (plugins, HTML, CSS, loaders, minify, naming, chunks,
`defer()`, metafile, cjs, browser, bytecode, the resolver's cache, the
transpiler) and 8 for the other changes (`Bun.password`, `fs.promises`,
two Postgres files that bring their own servers, glob, zlib, S3 and `bun
-e`).
- 26 files pass completely, 1,419 tests. None fails.
- 4 files were stopped at 50 seconds: `transpiler.test.js`,
`esbuild/css.test.ts`, `bundler_bytecode_portable.test.ts` and
`glob/scan.test.ts`.
- With fewer files at once, `transpiler.test.js` passes completely (258
tests).
- Run by name, the 31 tests of `esbuild/css.test.ts` with `Layer` in
their names pass, and the 18 with `AtImport`. So do 11 of the 22 tests
of `bundler_bytecode_portable.test.ts`; the others did not end in 50
seconds.
- **30 test files on an earlier base,** some of them the same, run the
same way: 22 files of `test/bundler` (the API, plugins, HTML, CSS,
loaders, minify, naming, splitting, compile, metafile), the 3 files of
`test/bundler/resolver`, 3 of `test/bake/dev` and 2 of `test/js/bun/md`.
- 21 files pass completely, 559 tests.
- 3 files need packages that I did not have, and fail in the same tests
on a debug build without these commits: `bundler_edgecase`
(`aws-cdk-lib`), `bake/dev/css` (16 tests) and `bake/dev/html` (9 tests,
both `happy-dom`).
- 6 files were stopped at 50 seconds: `bake/dev/bundle`,
`bun-build-api`, `bundler_cjs2esm`, `bundler_compile`,
`bundler_splitting` and `md-edge-cases`. In `bake/dev/bundle` 16 tests
had failed by then, all for `happy-dom`. In the other five no test had
failed by then.
- **22 scenarios by hand** on a debug build of an earlier form of the 12
bundler and transpiler commits, and on a debug build of their base. They
were `bun build` with splitting, minify, the source map modes, cjs
output, CSS layers, server HTML imports, HTML entry points, top-level
await, macros, `--compile`, bytecode and `--no-bundle`, running the
outputs, `Bun.build` in sequence, in parallel, with plugins and
`defer()`, and with failing builds, and the dev server with an edit and
a rebuild. Every bundle had the same digest on both builds, and ASAN
reported nothing.

…-ares, BoringSSL, `node:quic` and the parser (#47944)
### What does this PR do?
35 separate changes, one commit each: 10 in IPC, N-API, `bun:ffi` and
their neighbours, 15 in `node:zlib`, the c-ares and BoringSSL bindings
and `node:quic`, and 10 in the parser, the printer, CSS, `Bun.Image` and
smaller crates. They follow #47291, #47317, #47338, #47382, #47393,
#47414, #47871, #47893, #47895, #47901 and #47940 and work the same way:
signatures name the type and the lifetime that the value already has,
hand-written pointer code becomes plain ownership and borrows that the
compiler checks, and what was never needed is deleted.
Together: **125 fewer `unsafe` blocks, 17 fewer `unsafe fn`s and 4 fewer
`unsafe impl`s**, +870/−1499 over 58 files. No safe function became
`unsafe`, and no wrapper type was added. **[Where the compiled code
changes](#where-the-compiled-code-changes) lists every place where the

Worth knowing before reading on:
- **Nothing that users can see changes.** Under `test/`, a comment in
`spawn.ipc.test.ts` named a function that change 1 deletes, and the
inventory of the `vm-thread-door` source lint loses the entries of
removed `unsafe impl`s (changes 4 and 30).
- **Five changes end an aliasing or contract bug that had no visible
effect.**
- Change 6: `bun:ffi`'s `toBuffer` and `toArrayBuffer` made a `&mut
[u8]` over memory that belongs to the caller.
- Change 9: both `spawn` functions of the webview were safe functions
that dereferenced a `*mut VirtualMachine`.
- Change 15: `get_sockaddr` took a `&mut sockaddr`, 16 bytes, and wrote
a 28-byte `sockaddr_in6` through it.
- Change 24: ten safe functions of `node:quic` took a raw lsquic pointer
that they or a later function trusted.
- Change 32: `BlobReadChain::start` held a `&mut Blob` across a call
that can run JS.
- **The parser copies less:** moving the parser's slot into its drop
guard was a `memcpy` of 4,344 bytes per parse, and most callers made a
second one to drop it. Both are gone (change 26), and `P` is 32 bytes
smaller (25).
- **N-API entry points say what an add-on may pass** (change 3):
`Option<&NapiEnv>` has the ABI of a nullable pointer, null is `None`,
and every null test is where it was.
- **In `node:quic` the lifetimes come from the owner:** `create` returns
a reference that borrows from the endpoint or the session (change 23),
and a session holds `Option<Conn>` and a stream `Option<Stream>`, one
pointer each, with six repeated null tests fewer (24).
- **Functions that C, C++ or add-ons call have typed parameters**
(changes 3, 7, 16, 19 and 21). Each message names the call sites and
what they pass.
- **Imports that are `safe fn`s:** `Bun__napi_check_gc` and
`NapiHandleScope__escape` (change 2), `X509_get_subject_name` (17),
`EVP_DigestInit` and the digest getters, which return `&'static EVP_MD`
(18), and four that only write their out-parameters (28). Each message
says what the C side reads and writes, for every argument, in every
state and on every thread. The other shims over `NapiEnv` stay unsafe
imports, because they belong on the env's JS thread.
- **Dead code goes:** `IPCInstance::new` and `deinit` (change 1),
`write_reserved`, `advance` and `advance_by` (27), three declarations of
BoringSSL functions that nothing calls (18), three `unsafe impl
Send`/`Sync` (30) and an `unsafe fn as_slice` (31).
- **Parts of four changes are compiled only for Windows or macOS:** 1
(the Windows arm of `get_ipc_instance`), 9 (the macOS
`HostProcess::spawn` and the Windows arms of Chrome's `spawn`), 15 (the
WinSock names) and 28 (`mi_process_info` on Windows).
### Where the compiled code changes
I compared the release assembly (x86-64 Linux, `--emit=asm`) of all 134
crates of the workspace, before and after. For 95 of them the files are
the same byte for byte. The other 39 I compared function by function,
with names demangled and labels normalised. In 26 of the 39 (30,267
functions) no function differs: what differs is the debug information.
13 crates differ:

The last five columns are net, and count the functions that exist on one
side only: 38 only before and 27 only after, which were removed, renamed
or inlined, or are no longer inlined. Where only constants differ, each
is an offset into the parser's `P` and is 32 lower, because `P` is 32
bytes smaller (change 25). The names that differ:
- `Store::append` has the same 112 instructions for `E::Object` and
`E::Array`, and the compiler keeps one copy in `bun_js_parser`. That
copy was named after `E::Object` and is named after `E::Array`, at 173
call sites.
- The twelve `do_resolve_cares` load the address of another function
(change 35, in the last table), and five functions of `Bun.Image` call a
wrapper (change 28, below).
**What costs something.** No change adds an allocation, a lock or a
reference count, and none adds a test to the source. These are the
places where the compiled code does more than before:
- **`Binding::to_expr` is compiled once per wrapping method (change
25).** One copy in `bun_ast` (505 instructions), which called the method
through a function pointer, becomes four in `bun_js_parser` (210 to 223)
and one in `bun_bundler` (225), which call it directly or have it
inline. That is about 590 instructions of code more. Each copy is less
than half as long as the one it replaces, and a call of it loses the
indirect calls and an `expect` per array or object pattern.
`maybe_relocate_vars_to_top_level` was one copy (134) for two instances
of the parser and is two (130 each), because each calls its own
`to_expr`.
- **Around it the inliner chooses differently.** `E::Array` and
`E::Spread` were stored through `into_data_store` (115 and 111) and two
`new_expr` (77 each). They are stored through `Store::append` (112 and
108), which is inline in some parser functions and not in others, in
both directions: `parse_type_script_decorators` and `pfx_t_open_brace`
of the bundler's parser are 88 and 86 shorter, `pfx_t_open_bracket` of
one instance 56 shorter, `parse_prefix` and `parse_jsx_element` of
another 31 and 30 longer. In the bundler two `from_bump_vec` (101 and
100) are functions of their own.
- **`has_globals_of_vitest` (35) is a function of its own (change 26).**
It was inline in both `_parse`, which call it once each.
- **`Bun.Image` unpins its input through `JSValue::unpin_array_buffer`
(change 28).** Six call sites in five functions called the C++ function
through a declaration of their own. They call the wrapper that `bun_jsc`
has for it, as `node:zlib` and `node:http` do. The wrapper is one jump,
which goes where the link inlines across crates.
- **The fields of `EVP` are laid out in another order (change 18).**
`md` is a reference now, and the compiler puts it first, so the context
is at offset 8. `EVP::drop` (1 to 2), `CryptoHasher::update` and its
export for `node:crypto` (1 more each) add 8 to a pointer that they used
as it was, and `EVP::final` (40 to 43) keeps that address in one more
register. `byteLength`, `digest` and `getDigestSize` are 1 longer for
another reason: they load `md` for `EVP_MD_size`, where
`EVP_MD_CTX_size` loaded it from the context after a null test.
- **The constructor of `QuicEndpoint` goes from 557 to 635 (change
22),** with 3 branches, 3 compares and 3 call sites more. It reads its
options before it makes the cell, so when a read throws it has to free
the bind host and the `Strong` on the block list itself. Seven fields
are stored once instead of twice. It runs once per endpoint.
- **The six `uv_*` stand-ins are 1 longer (change 10):** they load the
length of their name before the call that ends the process.
**Checks.** The source makes no check that it did not make before. These
are all the other functions in which the listing shows more conditional
branches, compares or panic call sites than before, and why:
| Function | Listing | Why |
|---|---|---|
| In the printer: `FmtAdapter::write_str` and `write_char`,
`print_binding`, `print_identifier_utf16`. 15 copies in `bun_bundler`,
`bun_install`, `bun_runtime` and `bun_sourcemap_jsc`. | 22 to 38, 59 to
71, 1,122 to 1,134, 106 to 114 and 133 to 162. +1 branch, +1 compare and
−1 call per place that writes. | Change 27. Each write called
`reserve_next` and `advance_by` in `bun_js_printer`. The capacity test
of the first and the store of the second are inline now, and growing the
buffer is the only call left. The `memcpy` is the same. In `write_str`
the compiler also skips it for an empty string. |
| `FFI.toBuffer()` | 224 to 223, +1 compare | Change 6. The compiler
duplicates one compare. |
Everything else that differs:
| Change | What differs | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | `get_ipc_instance` goes from 197 to 188, with 2 calls fewer.
`Bun__closeChildIPC`, `send` and `emitHandleIPCMessage` keep their
length. | **`CHANNEL` is set after the socket is set up instead of
before.** Nothing reads it in between. When the set-up fails, no box is
made or freed. |
| 4 | `napi_create_promise` goes from 76 to 75, with one call fewer: it
reads the promise with `value()`, and **stores `*deferred` after that
read instead of before it.** | Same promise. |
| 10 | Apart from the above: the body of
`CrashHandler__unsupportedUVFunction` (46 to 6) is
`unsupported_uv_function` (45), and `uv_posix::unsupported` (2) forwards
to it. | Only on a path that ends the process. |
| 11 | `run_task::handle` goes from 3,119 to 3,101 with 3 branches, 3
calls and 3 panic sites fewer. The three `release_unrun` go from 69 to
63 with one of each fewer. | The same count goes up and down at the same
places. |
| 12 | The three `write` go from 517, 519 and 519 to 514, 516 and 516. |
The same range check, after the copy is filled instead of while it is
borrowed. |
| 13 | `native_brotli_impl::Context::do_work` goes from 53 to 45. | Same
calls of brotli. |
| 14 | Six `AresReply::parse`, one jump each, go. | The parser is called
directly. |
| 15 | `Resolver::reverse` goes from 547 to 545, with one call fewer:
for an address that does not parse it calls `on_hostent` and not the C
thunk around it. | Same error. |
| 17 | `call_general_name_free` goes from 10 to 2: it calls
`GENERAL_NAME_free` by name, and loses a null test with its panic.
`GeneralNames::drop` keeps its length and passes null where it passed
that function. | Same frees. |
| 18 | Apart from the above: `Algorithm::md` goes from 63 to 25, because
its 16 calls are tail calls. The `init` of the 8 hashers goes from 28 to
26, and `getByName`, `getFromOther` and `copy` are 2 shorter: **one call
of `EVP_MD_CTX_init` fewer each**, which `EVP_DigestInit` repeats.
`EVP::by_name` goes from 53 to 48, `tls_server_end_point_hash` from 98
to 96 with one null test fewer. | Same digests. |
| 20 | `on_new_conn` goes from 683 to 684. Two exits call
`Conn::abort_error`, which calls lsquic, where they called lsquic. The
two exits that call `Conn::abort_silent` shared a call site and have one
each. | Only when a connection is refused. |
| 23, 24 | `QuicStream::bind_raw` goes from 264 to 258 with a branch, a
call and a panic site fewer. `create` and `create_stream` are 2 shorter,
`on_new_stream` is 1 longer. `QuicEndpoint.connect()` goes from 1,032 to
1,035: the exit for a failed connect is laid out twice, so `teardown`
has 2 call sites. Four functions keep their length. | Same calls of
lsquic. The result of `create` is tested for null instead of by a tag. |
| 25 | Apart from the above: two closures per parser instance (6 and 38)
and the code in `prepare_for_visit_pass` that stored them go. |
`to_expr` on a `P` before `prepare_for_visit_pass` used to panic and now
works. Nothing does that. |
| 26 | `_parse` goes from 5,133 to 5,075 and from 5,553 to 5,477,
`_scan_imports` from 895 to 830 and from 930 to 865,
`to_lazy_export_ast` from 582 to 569, `parse_only` from 1,674 to 1,662,
the drop glue of the guard in `_parse::<true>` from 615 to 556, and each
instance of `P::init` is 4 shorter. In `bun_runtime`,
`ContextParameter::of` goes from 2,047 to 1,969 and
`write_inline_snapshots` from 2,946 to 2,732. The stack frames of the
eight callers of `P::init` named here are 2,208 to 4,736 bytes smaller.
| **One or two copies of the whole `P`, 4,344 bytes, fewer per parse.**
`write_inline_snapshots` copied `P` in pieces, and copies fewer of them.
|
| 27 | Apart from the above: `advance_by` (2) goes, and `reserve_next`
goes from 19 to 10 because it returns nothing. | Same bytes. |
| 29 | `__bun_macro_context_call` goes from 1,876 to 1,870 and its
closure from 337 to 323. | Same macro calls. |
| 34 | `Rope::append` goes from 24 to 22. In `bun_ini`, `prepare_str`
goes from 1,030 to 1,018 with 9 branches fewer, `str_to_rope` from 143
to 136 and `commit_rope_part` from 66 to 61. | Same ropes. |
| 35 | The twelve `raw_callback` (33 to 52) had the record type's thunk
inline. They go, and the twelve thunks are functions under their own
names, with the same instructions apart from change 14. | c-ares calls
the same code. |
Every function that differs and is not named above differs by 18
instructions or fewer, and has the same or a smaller number of branches,
compares and panic call sites. Changes 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 16, 19, 21, 30,
31, 32 and 33 do not show up in this comparison. What changes 1, 9, 15
and 28 do to code for Windows and macOS is not compiled on Linux.
The comparison covers x86-64 Linux only, one crate at a time. The build
that ships also inlines across crates when it links.
### The changes in detail
#### 1. ipc: `CHANNEL` holds `&'static IPCInstance`, boxed once the
transport is up
`CHANNEL` held `Option<NonNull<IPCInstance>>` and `get_ipc_instance`
returned `Option<*mut IPCInstance>`, so `send`, `close_child_ipc`,
`global_object_connected_ipc` and `get_ipc_instance` itself dereferenced
a raw pointer. A channel that came up is never freed. The only free was
`IPCInstance::deinit`, on the two paths where the socket (on Windows the
pipe) could not be set up, and it was needed only because the box was
made and published before that attempt.
`get_ipc_instance` sets the transport up on the `RefPtr<SendQueue>` it
holds and boxes it after that has succeeded: `Box::leak` gives the
`&'static IPCInstance` that `CHANNEL` stores and the function returns.
On failure it detaches the queue and the `RefPtr` drops.
`IPCInstance::new` and `deinit` are gone, and the socket group stays the
`&mut SocketGroup` that `spawn_ipc_group` returns.
What differs when it runs: `CHANNEL` is set after `from_fd` and
`set_timeout` (on Windows after `windows_configure_client`) instead of
before. Only `get_ipc_instance`, `global_object_connected_ipc` and
`global_object_has_ipc` read it, and none of them runs in between:
`us_socket_from_fd` arms the poll, links the socket and may start the
date header timer. The failing path neither allocates the box nor
touches `CHANNEL`, and it releases the queue after the warning is
printed instead of before.
The comment on the test of the failing path in spawn.ipc.test.ts named
`IPCInstance.deinit`. It says what the path does now.
#### 2. napi: `Bun__napi_check_gc` and `NapiHandleScope__escape` are
`safe fn`
Each was declared with a raw handle pointer and called in an `unsafe`
block from a safe method on `&self`, which passed its `as_mut_ptr()`.
The handle is the only pointer they take. They take it by reference, as
the `safe fn` shims over `JSGlobalObject` do:
- `Bun__napi_check_gc` reads `nm_version`, which never changes, and asks
the heap whether the current thread is doing GC work, which any thread
may ask. It can abort the process.
- `NapiHandleScope__escape` answers false once the escape slot is used
or the scope is closed. It took the value as `usize`; it takes
`JSValue`, which is `repr(transparent)` over it. The empty value is
fine: the write barrier and the visitor skip a null cell.
The other shims over `NapiEnv` stay unsafe imports: they belong on the
env's JS thread, and a `&NapiEnv` is also held on pool threads and by
the collector.
Same calls with the same arguments.
#### 3. napi: entry points take the env and scope handles as
`Option<&T>` or `&T`
The 44 N-API functions written in Rust that begin with `get_env!`,
`preamble!` or `ungated!` took `env_: *mut NapiEnv`, and `get_env!` made
the reference with `unsafe { $env.as_ref() }`. `napi_escape_handle` did
the same with its scope, `napi_ref_threadsafe_function` and
`napi_unref_threadsafe_function` with the env in a debug assertion, and
three functions that only Bun's C++ calls with `&*env_` or `as_ref()`.
`napi_open_callback_scope` and `napi_close_callback_scope` ignore their
env and get the same type.
`NapiEnv` and `NapiHandleScope` are `opaque_ffi!` types: zero-sized,
align 1 and `!Freeze`, so every non-null pointer is a valid reference to
one, and `Option<&T>` has the ABI of a nullable pointer. The parameter
types say what the macro did: null is `None` and still answers
`napi_invalid_arg`.
Call sites of the three that addons cannot reach:
- `Bun__napi_register_cleanup_zig(env: &NapiEnv)`: `this`, in the body
of the `NapiEnv` constructor (napi.h).
- `Bun__napi_run_finalizers_after_teardown_wait(env: &NapiEnv)`: `this`,
in `NapiEnv::cleanup()` (napi.h).
- `Bun__napi_enqueue_finalizer(env: Option<&NapiEnv>, ..)`, five: `this`
in `enqueueRefFinalizer` and `doFinalizer` (napi.h), an env dereferenced
just before in `drainOneRefFinalizer` (NapiRef.cpp), one that
`node_api_post_finalizer` has tested for null (napi.cpp), and
`RefPtr::get()` in `NapiFinalizer::call` (napi_finalizer.cpp), for which
it keeps its null test.
Every null test is where it was. `type napi_env` stays for the
declarations of the functions written in C++ and for the callbacks into
addons.
#### 4. napi: `Finalizer::run` and `schedule` borrow their env, and
three more borrows
`Finalizer::run(&mut self)` only reads its fields, and it made an
unbounded `&NapiEnv` from `self.env.get()`. It takes `&self` and borrows
the env from the `NapiEnvRef` it holds, so the reference lives as long
as that ref. Its three callers own the `Finalizer` (two locals, one box
just taken back) and drop `mut`.
`NapiFinalizerTask::schedule` made the same unbounded reference twice.
Both go through the `NapiEnvRef` as well. Each borrow ends with its
statement, before `self` is given away: `vm_handle()` returns a
`BorrowedRef`, which has no lifetime, and `bun_vm()` returns `&'static
VirtualMachine`. The one other use of `global_this` was
`global_this.bun_vm()`, which is `vm`. `as_mut()` reads the thread-local
itself and uses its receiver in a debug assertion only, so a release
build runs the same code.
`napi_async_work::run_from_js` dereferenced `env` a second time for
`surface_exception`. `env_ref`, made from the same pointer, is still in
use after that line: the handle scope guard holds it to the end of the
function.
`napi_create_promise` read the promise back through the raw pointer it
had just made from its box. It reads the value first, with
`JSPromiseStrong::value()`, and gives the box away after, so `*deferred`
is stored after that read instead of before it.
`get().as_value(env.to_js())` reached the same value the long way: it
downcast the value in the strong slot to `*mut JSPromise` and turned
that pointer back into a `JSValue`. Two FFI calls go (the downcast,
`JSC__JSValue__asPromise`, and `NapiEnv__globalObject` for an argument
that `as_value` ignores), and with them the `is_cell` test and the null
test in `as_promise`, the unwrap of its result and the null test in
`opaque_mut`.
`napi_node_version::release` was a `*const c_char` to a literal, which
needed an `unsafe impl Sync` for the static. It is a `&'static [u8; 5]`,
`b"node\0"`: a thin pointer at the same offset, and the struct is `Sync`
by itself. The inventory of the `vm-thread-door` lint drops the entry.
#### 5. tcc: `Config::options` is `Option<&'a ZStr>`
`Config::options` was an `Option<NonNull<ZStr>>`, "kept as a raw ptr
rather than a borrow", and `State::init` turned it back into a reference
in two `unsafe` blocks on the caller's word that the string outlives the
call. Both callers start from a `&ZStr` and build the `Config` in the
argument of `init`, and `tcc_set_options` copies what it parses, so a
borrow for the call says the same.
`Config` has a lifetime and holds the `&ZStr`. In `CompileC::compile`
the string can borrow `self.flags`, so the `*mut CompileC` for the error
handler is taken before that borrow starts instead of in the `Config`
literal. The handler only pushes to `deferred_errors`.
Same pointers and the same calls.
#### 6. ffi: no reference is made from an address only to turn it back
into one
`make_napi_env_if_needed` cast the `*mut c_void` from
`make_napi_env_for_ffi` to `&'static NapiEnv`. Its one caller hands the
result to `Function::compile`, which turned it back into an address for
`add_symbol`, where it is a symbol's value and is not dereferenced.
`'static` was true (`makeNapiEnvForFFI` returns `&out.leakRef()`, so the
allocation is never freed), but nothing used the reference as a
reference. The function returns `NonNull::new(..)` of the pointer it
got, an `Option<NonNull<c_void>>` with the same niche, and `compile`
passes `as_ptr()`. `CompileC::compile` already passes that pointer as it
comes.
The comment at `add_symbol` called the env VM-owned; it names the leaked
ref. The doc of `make_napi_env_for_ffi` called it "owned by this global"
and ended "callers in `bun_runtime` cast to `*mut NapiEnv`", which
neither caller does. It says that C++ leaks a ref, and the clause is
gone.
`to_buffer` built a `&mut [u8]` over the caller's foreign memory for
`create_buffer_with_ctx`, a private function with this one caller that
split the slice into pointer and length again for C++. Its call of
`JSBuffer__bufferFromPointerAndLengthAndDeinit` is written into
`to_buffer`, with the pointer and length that `get_ptr_slice` returned.
Debug builds lose the precondition check inside `from_raw_parts_mut`;
release builds make the same call.
The helper declared that symbol itself, so the call was made from
`bun_runtime` before too; the declaration stands at the head of
`to_buffer`. `JSValue::create_buffer_with_ctx` in `bun_jsc` makes the
same call but is neither generic nor `#[inline]`, so it would stand
between `to_buffer` and C++ wherever the linker does not inline it.
`to_array_buffer` built the same kind of slice only for
`ArrayBuffer::from_bytes`, which stores the slice's pointer, its length
in `len` and `byte_len`, and the type, and takes the other fields from
`Default`. A struct literal sets the same four fields from the pointer
and length of `get_ptr_slice` and takes the rest from `Default` too. The
`unsafe` block stays for `to_js_with_context`, an `unsafe fn`. Debug
builds lose the same check here.
`noop_bytes_deallocator` has an empty body and is not an `unsafe fn`. It
still coerces to the `unsafe extern "C" fn` pointer that the deallocator
slot holds.
#### 7. ipc: the JSON decoder's free callback takes `&Cell<bool>`
`json::decode_ipc_message` wraps an ASCII line in an external string and
gave the address of a local `bool` as the context of the string's free
callback, which set the flag through the `*mut bool` in an `unsafe`
block.
`create_external` is generic over the context and documents it as a raw
pointer or `&T`. The flag is a `Cell<bool>`, the context is
`&Cell<bool>` and the callback calls `set(true)`. The callback has two
callers: `create_external` itself when the line is too long, and
`ExternalStringImpl::freeExternalBuffer` when the string is destroyed,
with the `m_freeCtx` it stored at creation (`releaseBufferEarly` also
calls it; nothing calls that).
The `unsafe` on `create_external` stays, and its comment names the flag
too: the string carries the lifetime of neither borrow.
The same byte is stored and read back.
#### 8. sql: the `ssl_config_from_js` and `timer_heap` hooks are safe
`fn`s
`SqlRuntimeHooks::ssl_config_from_js` was an `unsafe fn(&JSGlobalObject,
JSValue)` and its one call sat in an `unsafe` block whose comment named
no obligation ("may run JS getters / throw"). The one implementation
calls `SSLConfig::from_js` and boxes the result, all safe. The field is
a `fn`, the implementation and the call are safe.
`timer_heap` was an `unsafe fn(*mut VirtualMachine) -> *mut c_void` and
states no obligation either: the one implementation ignores its argument
and calls the safe `timer_all()`. The field and the implementation are a
`fn`. The block at its one call stays, for the dereference of the
result.
An `unsafe fn` does not coerce to a `fn` field, so an implementation of
either hook has to be safe. The same indirect calls.
#### 9. webview: both `spawn` functions take `&VirtualMachine`
`ChromeProcess::spawn` and the macOS `HostProcess::spawn` are safe
functions that took `vm: *mut VirtualMachine` and dereferenced it twice.
Each has one caller, which holds a `&JSGlobalObject`:
`Bun__Chrome__ensure` passed `bun_vm_ptr()`, and
`Bun__WebViewHost__ensure` cast the `&'static VirtualMachine` from
`bun_vm()` to `*mut`.
Both callers pass `global.bun_vm()`. `VirtualMachine::event_loop` and
`EventLoopHandle::init` are safe functions, so that block goes in each.
The block that dereferences the raw `transpiler.env` stays. Its comment
in ChromeProcess.rs called `map` a `&mut Map` slot; it is a field of the
loader, and the sentence goes.
In a release build `bun_vm()` and `bun_vm_ptr()` are the same read of
the thread-local, so the same code runs.
#### 10. crash_handler: `uv_posix` calls `unsupported_uv_function` as a
Rust function
`uv_posix::unsupported` reached the crash handler, which is Rust,
through its C symbol. It declared `CrashHandler__unsupportedUVFunction`
itself, returning `()` where the definition returns `!`, called it in an
`unsafe` block with the pointer of its `&'static CStr`, and put
`unreachable!` after the call.
The body of the symbol moves into `pub fn
unsupported_uv_function(name_bytes: &'static [u8]) -> !`. The symbol,
which `__bun_throw_not_implemented` in uv-posix-polyfills.c calls, keeps
its `cstr` and calls that function. `uv_posix` calls it too and has no
declaration of its own. Only the C symbol needed the NUL terminator, so
`unsupported`, `handle_type` and `ref_state` take the name as `&'static
[u8]`, and the six literals are `b"uv_close"` and so on.
The literals are one byte shorter. The rest differs only on a path that
ends the process: from `uv_posix` the length of the name comes with the
slice instead of from a `strlen`, which is one more instruction before
the call in each of the six. From C the counter is bumped after the
`strlen` instead of before it, and the reported stack starts one frame
deeper unless the function is inlined into the symbol.
#### 11. node:zlib: the write's completion owns its ref as a `RefPtr<T>`
`run_from_js_thread` and `release_unrun` were `unsafe fn(*mut T)`. Each
turned the pointer into a `ParentRef` behind an `expect` and released
the ref that `write()` took with `unsafe { T::deref(this_ptr) }`, once
on each of their four exits.
Both now take `RefPtr<T>`, read the stream through it and `drop` it
where the `deref` was, after `poll_ref.unref`. Their two callers, the
dispatch arm and `Taskable::release_unrun`, keep one `unsafe` block
each: `RefPtr::from_raw` on the queued pointer, which adds no ref.
`RefPtr::drop` calls `rc_deref`, which the derive forwards to the same
`CellRefCounted::deref`, so every path still releases exactly one ref.
The two `expect` null tests are gone.
#### 12. node:zlib: `borrow_input_copy` borrows the copy through
`JsCell::get`
The slice was taken inside the `with_mut` closure and rebuilt with
`slice::from_raw_parts` to get it out of the closure's `&mut` borrow.
The closure now only fills the copy and says whether the allocation
worked. The slice is taken afterwards from `input_copy().get()`, a
shared borrow that lasts as long as `&self`, which is what the signature
already promised. The range check is the same one `get(range)`, moved
after the closure. `write()` does not touch `input_copy` between this
call and `set_buffers`.
#### 13. node:zlib: `NativeBrotli` passes `&raw mut self.next_in` and
keeps `last_result` as a `c_int`
`do_work` copied `next_in` into a local, passed the local's address to
brotli and then advanced the field with `self.next_in.add(local -
self.next_in)`, in both modes. It now passes the address of the field,
as it does for `next_out`. brotli only advances `*next_in` and does not
keep the address.
`last_result` was a union of the encoder's `c_int` and the decoder's
`BrotliDecoderResult`, read with `unsafe` in three places. It is a
`c_int`: the decode arm stores `result as c_int` and compares the enum
value it still holds, and `get_error_info` compares with
`needs_more_input as c_int`. The slot keeps its size and its initial
value 0. The union had no other user.
#### 14. c-ares: `AresReply` names its parser as an associated const
`AresReply::parse` was an `unsafe fn` whose six impls each forwarded
their three arguments to the matching `ares_parse_*_reply` extern from
inside an `unsafe` block.
The trait now has `const PARSE: unsafe extern "C" fn(..)`, the shape
`HostentWithTtlsHandler::PARSE` has, and each impl names its extern. The
six externs have exactly that signature. `ares_reply_callback`, the only
caller, keeps its `unsafe` block and calls `(R::PARSE)(..)`, which is a
direct call to the C function once the callback is monomorphised.
#### 15. c-ares: `get_sockaddr` and `get_name_info` take
`sockaddr_storage`
`get_sockaddr` took `&mut sockaddr`, 16 bytes, and wrote a 28-byte
`sockaddr_in6` through it. Its one caller,
`Resolver::global_lookup_service`, cast its `sockaddr_storage` to that
type in an `unsafe` block, twice. Both functions now take the
`sockaddr_storage` the caller has. `get_name_info` takes it shared:
`ares_getnameinfo` has `const struct sockaddr *` and copies the address.
The first cast block in dns.rs goes, the second shrinks to `&mut
*request`.
Inside `get_sockaddr`, the two address stores went through `(&raw mut
field).cast().write(..)`. They assign `sin_addr.s_addr` and
`sin6_addr.s6_addr`, which libc and `bun_windows_sys::ws2_32` both name
so: the same 4-byte and 16-byte stores.
`get_host_by_addr` reported an unparsable address by calling its own C
thunk with `ARES_ENOTIMP`. The thunk only turns the pointer back into
`&mut T` and the status into `Some(Error::ENOTIMP)`, so it calls
`ctx.on_hostent` with that. Only `Error::ENOTIMP` names `ARES_ENOTIMP`
now, so it is a plain `const` like its neighbours that only the enum
names.
The comment on the `winsock` import in cares_sys is cut to the one line
that still holds.
#### 16. boringssl: `Bun__X509__checkHost` types its certificate and its
out-parameter
`x509` was a `*mut X509` turned into a reference with `unsafe { as_mut()
}`, and `out_peer` a `*mut String` that `set_peer` tested for null and
wrote with `unsafe { out_peer.write(..) }`.
They are `Option<&mut X509>` and `Option<&mut MaybeUninit<String>>`: the
same two null tests, and `MaybeUninit::write` stores without dropping,
as `ptr::write` did. The function stays `unsafe` for `host_ptr`.
Its one caller is `X509View::checkHost` in ncrypto.cpp. It returns early
when `cert_` is null, and passes either null or the address of a local
`BunString` that it initialises to the empty string and does not touch
during the call. `X509` is an opaque zero-sized `!Unpin` type, so `&mut
X509` claims nothing about the certificate's memory.
#### 17. boringssl_sys: `X509_get_subject_name` is a `safe fn`, and a
stack free without fn-pointer transmutes
`X509_get_subject_name` (crypto/x509/x509_cmp.cc:69) returns the address
of a member and reads nothing. It is a `safe fn` over `&X509`.
`common_names` is its only Rust caller.
`GeneralNames::drop` transmuted `GENERAL_NAME_free` to `fn(*mut c_void)`
and passed it to `sk_pop_free_ex` as `free_func`, and its trampoline
unwrapped that argument and transmuted it back before calling it.
`OPENSSL_sk_pop_free_ex` (crypto/stack/stack.cc:112) only passes
`free_func` on to the trampoline, so `drop` passes `None` and the
trampoline calls `GENERAL_NAME_free` by name. That removes two
transmutes and an `expect`, and the indirect call per element becomes a
direct one.
#### 18. boringssl_sys: the digest getters return `&'static EVP_MD`, and
`EVP_DigestInit` is a `safe fn`
The 16 `EVP_*()` getters returned `*const EVP_MD`, so `EVP::init` was a
safe fn with a `# Safety` section about its `md` pointer. Each getter
returns the address of a static object
(crypto/fipsmodule/digest/digests.cc.inc through `DEFINE_DATA` in
delocate.h:62, and crypto/digest/digest_extra.cc:276, 301, 326, 359, 393
and 416), so they return `&'static EVP_MD`.
`EVP_get_digestbyname` (digest_extra.cc:218) and `EVP_get_digestbynid`
(:79) walk one table (:43) and return what one of these getters or
`EVP_md5_sha1` returns, or null. `EVP_md5_sha1` (:455) returns the
address of a constant at file scope too. Both return `Option<&'static
EVP_MD>`. `Algorithm::md()` and the `EVP::md` field follow.
`Option<&EVP_MD>` is one word where `Option<*const EVP_MD>` was two.
A result that goes on to a `*const EVP_MD` parameter coerces, so those
calls are unchanged. Two callers tested a result for null.
`EVP::by_name` matches on the `Option`. In
`X509::tls_server_end_point_hash` the test stood after a `match` with an
`EVP_sha256()` arm and an `EVP_get_digestbynid()` arm. The second arm
ends in `?` and the test goes, so that arm has one null test as before
and the first has none.
`EVP_DigestInit` (crypto/fipsmodule/digest/digest.cc.inc:162) starts
with `EVP_MD_CTX_init`, which overwrites the three pointers of the
context before anything reads them, then calls `EVP_DigestInit_ex`,
which keeps `type` in `ctx->digest` (:157). It becomes `safe fn(&mut
EVP_MD_CTX, &'static EVP_MD)`. `EVP::init` calls it instead of
`EVP_MD_CTX_init` followed by `EVP_DigestInit_ex`: the same work in one
call. The `new_evp!` hashers in sha.rs called `EVP_MD_CTX_init` and then
`EVP_DigestInit`. They lose the first call and the block around the
second: one FFI call fewer per `init`, for the 8 types.
`EVP_MD_CTX_init` has no Rust caller left and its declaration goes.
bun-sema links no BoringSSL and has weak stand-ins in
src/sema/standalone/native_libraries.rs: its `EVP_sha256` (:167) returns
the address of a static, and its `EVP_DigestInit` (:199) aborts on any
other `type_` and overwrites the whole context, so both keep what the
signatures promise. Its `EVP_MD_CTX_init` (:187) stays, because a test
in that file calls it.
`EVP::size` asked `EVP_MD_CTX_size(&self.ctx)`, which is
`EVP_MD_size(ctx->digest)` after a null test. `ctx.digest` is `self.md`
from `init` on, so it asks the new `safe fn EVP_MD_size(&EVP_MD)`
(digest.cc.inc:36). `ctx` was a `pub` field that nothing outside EVP.rs
used. It is private, so only EVP.rs can break that equality.
`EVP_MD_CTX_size` has no caller left and its declaration goes.
`EVP_MD_do_all_sorted` has no caller either, and its declaration goes
too. The comment on `md` repeated its type and goes. `EVP::reset` is
unchanged.
#### 19. net: `BlockList__onStructuredCloneDestroy` takes the
`RefPtr<BlockList>` it releases
The hook was `unsafe extern "C" fn(*mut c_void)` and ended in `unsafe {
BlockList::deref(ptr.cast()) }`, the only use of that inherent `unsafe
fn deref`.
It now takes `bun_ptr::RefPtr<BlockList>` by value, which is
`repr(transparent)` over `NonNull`, so C++ passes the same pointer. It
removes the table entry under the lock as before and then drops the
`RefPtr`, which calls the same `ThreadSafeRefCount::deref`: one ref down
per call, matching the one ref up in
`BlockList__onStructuredCloneSerialize`. `BlockList::deref` goes.
SerializedScriptValue.cpp calls it in two places, the destructor (line
4300) and `releaseSerializedRefs` in `create` (line 4957). Both walk a
vector whose only `append` (line 1440) stores the `blockList->wrapped()`
that the line before passed to the serialize hook as `&BlockList`, and
each vector is walked once.
#### 20. node:quic: `on_new_conn` uses the `Conn` it already has
`QuicEndpoint::on_new_conn` wraps lsquic's pointer in a `Conn` at its
top. Two later exits wrapped the same pointer again with `unsafe {
Conn::from_raw }` and a null test to call `abort_silent`, and two more
called `lsquic_conn_abort_error` on the raw pointer. All four use the
first `Conn`.
`Conn::abort_error` takes a `&CStr`, so the two refusals pass `c""`
where they passed null. `lsquic_conn_abort_error` (lsquic_conn.c:208)
replaces a null reason with `""`, so the frame is the same. The argument
is now the address of a constant instead of zero.
No other crate names `lsquic_conn_abort_error`, so the declaration is
private.
#### 21. node:quic: the loop-driver callbacks take `&QuicEndpoint`;
`lookup_cert` stays typed
`Bun__nodeQuic__drainEndpoint` and `Bun__nodeQuic__processEndpoint` were
`unsafe extern "C" fn(*mut c_void)` that cast the pointer through
`unsafe fn from_driver_owner` and called `run_driver_pass(&self)`. They
take `&QuicEndpoint`, and `from_driver_owner` goes.
Each has one call site, node_quic_shim.c:601 and :615, both under `if
(d->owner)`. `owner` is written only by `us_nq_loop_register` (:571),
whose one caller, `link_loop_driver`, passes `from_ref(self)`.
`unlink_loop_driver` takes the node off the list before the endpoint can
be freed. A walk that is under way has read its successor already, so it
can still call an endpoint that the pass before it closed and unlinked;
`run_driver_pass` returns at once for it, as before. The reference lives
exactly as long as the `&self` of `run_driver_pass` did.
`lookup_cert` already held `this: &QuicEndpoint` and still ended in
`unsafe { get_ssl_ctx(owner, local) }`, which turned the `void*` back
into the same reference behind a second null test. The body of
`get_ssl_ctx` moves to `fn server_ssl_ctx(&self)`, and both callbacks
call it.
`lookup_cert` was the one use of the form `ctx: *mut c_void as r: &T` of
`lsquic_callback!`. The two arms for that form were otherwise only what
the two short arms forwarded to, so the short arms hold the expansion
themselves and the forwarding goes. No other use of the macro changes.
#### 22. node:quic: `QuicEndpoint::constructor` reads its options before
it creates the cell
The constructor built the struct with defaults, moved it into its JS
cell, and then stored each option it read through the raw payload
pointer, in six `unsafe { (*raw).field.set(..) }` blocks.
It now reads the options into locals first and puts them in the struct
literal, so seven fields are stored once instead of twice. The two
blocks that need the cell's address or the wrapper (the vtable, and
`state`/`stats`) stay.
What changes in order: the six property reads (`address`, `blockList`,
`blockListPolicy`, `disableStatelessReset`, `statelessResetBurst`,
`statelessResetRate`) keep their order and their conversions, but run
before the cell and the boxed vtable are allocated instead of after. If
one of them throws, the cell and the vtable are never allocated, and the
default bind host and the `Strong` on the block list are freed on return
instead of when the GC finalizes the abandoned cell. Nothing could reach
that cell, and its `Drop` has nothing to release at that point. The one
caller, `new Endpoint_(options)` in quic.ts, passes a fresh
null-prototype object of data properties.
#### 23. node:quic: `QuicSession::create` and `QuicStream::create`
return the reference they make
Both constructors form `&*payload` to finish setting the object up and
then returned the raw pointer, so each caller went back through `unsafe
{ (*session).x() }` with "was just created" as the reason.
They return `&'a Self`, and `'a` is the borrow of the owner.
`QuicSession::create` takes `endpoint: &'a QuicEndpoint`,
`QuicStream::create` takes `session: &'a QuicSession`, and
`create_stream` borrows from `&self` and passes the reference on.
`global` has a lifetime of its own. Both constructors took the owner as
`*mut`, and all five call sites passed `from_ref(self).cast_mut()`. They
pass `self`, and the cast stands at the one place in each constructor
that stores the back-pointer. In every caller the owner is the caller's
own `&self`, so no body can choose a longer `'a`. That is how
`live_session` and `endpoint_ref` bound what they return.
`apply_server_session_options` takes `&QuicSession`. Seven blocks go: in
`on_new_conn`, `apply_server_session_options`, `connect` and
`connect_verneg_probe`, two in `on_remote_stream` and one in
`open_stream`. The large block in `connect` shrinks to the
`lsquic_conn_set_ctx` call.
The payload belongs to the GC, and the compiler does not check that it
lives for `'a`. `create` roots the wrapper with `set_strong` before it
returns, and only `teardown` (for a stream, also `release_close_root`)
undoes that. After that the frame that has the reference holds the cell,
which is what `JsWrapper::payload_ref` asks of its caller. Of the
callers only `connect` tears the session down, and it returns right
after. Nothing forms a `&mut` to either payload before the sweeper drops
it.
Where a pointer is stored (`sessions`, `pending_new_sessions`,
`provisional`, `pending_verneg`, `streams`, the conn and stream ctx, the
two back-pointers) it is `ptr::from_ref(x).cast_mut()`, the form these
files use for `self`. Every use of those pointers forms `&T`. The
operations and their order are unchanged.
#### 24. node:quic: a session holds `Option<Conn>` and a stream holds
`Option<Stream>`
`QuicSession::conn` and `QuicStream::raw` were `Cell<*mut _>`. Nine
places wrapped the field again with `unsafe { from_raw(..) }` before
using it, among them the safe accessors `conn()` and `ls()`. Ten safe
functions took a raw lsquic pointer that they or a later function
trusted: `bind_conn`, `cache_sockaddrs`, `conn_peer_addr`,
`on_remote_stream`, `bind_raw`, `QuicEndpoint::on_new_conn`,
`defer_stream_abort`, `QuicSession::create`, `create_stream` and
`QuicStream::create`. `bind_conn`, `on_remote_stream` and `bind_raw`
wrapped their parameter, and `connect` wrapped at its end the pointer it
had tested for null further up.
The fields are `Cell<Option<Conn>>` and `Cell<Option<Stream>>`, and
those ten functions take the handle or an `Option` of it. 13 blocks go
and none is added. In `connect`, `from_raw` joins the block that calls
`lsquic_engine_connect`. The block in `QuicEndpoint::on_new_conn` moves
into the `on_new_conn` callback with its SAFETY comment. What is left to
prove sits where lsquic hands a pointer over (the `on_new_conn`
callback, `connect`, `on_new_stream`, `on_stream_read`). The fields are
cleared where they were set to null. `DeferredAbort::ls` stays a raw
pointer with its own `from_raw`, because what keeps it alive is a
different argument. `defer_stream_abort` stores `ls.raw()` in it.
In `connect` the local `Conn` is used after `apply_options`, as the raw
pointer was. The SAFETY comment at `from_raw` says why no script runs in
between when quic.ts calls.
`Conn` and `Stream` hold a `NonNull` and are `repr(transparent)`, so the
`Option` is one pointer with null as `None`. Each `is_null()` becomes
`is_none()`, `is_some()` or `if let Some`, one for one. Six null tests
go:
- `connect` tested the pointer from `lsquic_engine_connect`, and again
in `from_raw` at its end.
- `bind_conn` matched on `from_raw` of its parameter.
- `on_remote_stream` did the same.
- `refresh_conn_stats` tested the field and then `from_raw` of it.
- `bind_raw` had `from_raw(..).expect(..)`. Its panic path goes too.
- The `on_new_conn` callback tested its pointer, and
`QuicEndpoint::on_new_conn` tested it again in `from_raw`.
`report_close` matches on the field instead of testing it in a guard and
reading it again. 39 lines in lsquic_sys pass `self.0.as_ptr()`. `Conn`
gains `raw()`, which `Stream` had. The other operations and their order
are unchanged.
#### 25. ast: `Binding::to_expr` takes `&mut C` and the method that
wraps an identifier
`to_expr` took a `*mut c_void` context and a `ToExprWrapper`: a back
reference to the arena and a fn pointer to a trampoline that cast the
context back to `&mut P` or `&mut ExportHoist`. All four call sites hold
that `&mut` and the arena, so they pass both, and name the method
(`Self::wrap_identifier_namespace`, `Self::wrap_identifier_hoisting`,
`ExportHoist::wrap_identifier`) instead of a trampoline around it.
`to_expr` is generic over the context and the function. The function is
a zero-sized fn item, so nothing is passed for it and the call to it is
direct.
The cost is code size: `to_expr` is compiled once per method (four
copies in bun_js_parser, one in bun_bundler) and not once in bun_ast. In
a `--release` build bun_js_parser grows by 526 instructions in 343,000
and bun_bundler by 78, and bun_ast shrinks by 553.
`ToExprWrapper` goes away, and with it the `expect` on its arena for
every array and object pattern, the two fields of `P` that held it (32
bytes) and the code in `prepare_for_visit_pass` that filled them. One
behaviour differs: `to_expr` on a `P` before `prepare_for_visit_pass`
used to panic and now works.
#### 26. js_parser: `P::init` returns the `&mut P` it wrote, and
`init_p!` binds it
`P::init(out: &mut MaybeUninit<P>, ..)` returned `Result<(), Error>`.
`init_p!` called it, moved the slot into a drop guard and gave the guard
to the caller. Each of the four users of the macro then took its `&mut
P` out with `unsafe { __p.assume_init_mut() }`, and so did the fifth
caller of `P::init`, the copy of the macro that
runtime/test_runner/snapshot.rs writes out by hand because the macro is
local to its crate.
`init` cannot fail: its body has no `?`, `return`, `Err`, `unwrap`,
`expect` or `panic!`. And `MaybeUninit::write` returns the reference the
callers want. So the signature is
```
pub fn init<'o>(out: &'o mut MaybeUninit<Self>, ..) -> &'o mut Self
```
The guard holds that reference and the macro binds the caller's `p` to
it. The slot and the guard are locals of the expansion, which the caller
cannot name. The guard's closure runs `drop_in_place` on the reference,
which is what `assume_init_drop` does. snapshot.rs does the same by
hand: its guard type `InitializedParser` holds the reference, and its
`Drop` runs `drop_in_place`. Five `unsafe` blocks go, and with the `?`
the macro's hidden early return.
Compiled code, in a `--release` build of bun_js_parser (default flags,
no LTO), the parent of the commit before this one against this commit,
so with the 32 bytes that that commit takes off `P`:
- Moving the slot into the guard was a `memcpy` of the whole `P` (4344
bytes) in every caller. `_parse::<false>` and both `_scan_imports`
copied it a second time to drop it. All eight copies are gone.
- Stack frames: `_parse::<false>` 13240 to 11016 bytes, `_parse::<true>`
12856 to 10648, `_scan_imports` 9480 to 5176, `to_lazy_export_ast` 10008
to 5816.
- Instructions: `_parse::<false>` 5133 to 5075, `_parse::<true>` 5553 to
5477, `_scan_imports::<false>` 895 to 830, `to_lazy_export_ast` 582 to
569, and 4 fewer in each of the four instances of `init`.
- `init` returns its first argument, and LLVM sees that. In the five
callers that were read (both `_parse`, both `_scan_imports`,
`to_lazy_export_ast`) the code after the call ignores the returned
register and addresses `p`'s fields off the stack pointer, as before,
without a spilled pointer to `p`.
- `P` is dropped as before: inline in `_scan_imports`, by a call to its
drop glue in `_parse::<false>` and `to_lazy_export_ast`, and by a call
to the guard's drop glue in `_parse::<true>`.
No cost was found in the assembly. Run time was not measured.
#### 27. js_printer: the three `write_reserved` callers use
`print_slice`
`WriterTrait::write_reserved` got a raw pointer to `n` spare bytes from
`reserve`, copied the bytes there and committed them with `advance`. On
`BufferWriter`, the only `WriterContext`, that is `Vec::reserve`, a copy
and `set_len`, which is what `print_slice` does through
`Vec::extend_from_slice`. The three callers use `print_slice`, two of
them through `self.print` like the code around them, and
`write_reserved`, `advance` and `advance_by` go away.
`reserve` has two more callers, `print_ast` and
`print_with_writer_and_platform`, which pre-size the buffer and ignore
the pointer, so `reserve` and `reserve_next` stay and return nothing.
`print_slice` is `#[inline]` down to the `Vec`. `reserve_next` and
`advance_by` are not, and the printer is instantiated in other crates,
so without LTO each `write_reserved` made two calls into bun_js_printer.
#### 28. image, aot, mimalloc: imports that only write their
out-parameters are `safe fn`
Four imported functions took raw pointers to locals of the caller, and
every call was an `unsafe` block. Typed as references, the signature
says that the pointers are valid:
- `JSC__JSValue__borrowBytesForOffThread` (bindings.cpp) writes
`*out_ptr` and `*out_len`, or neither, and reads neither.
- `tj3GetScalingFactors` (turbojpeg.c) stores a constant in `*n` and
returns its static table.
- `Bun__AOT__initializeOptions` (BunAOTCompile.cpp) calls
`WTF::initialize()`, which is a `call_once`, and assigns
`makeDefaultCompileOptions()`: zeroes, three integers, a double and two
enumerators of enums generated from the schema that also generates the
Rust type. One of the integers comes from
`WTF::numberOfProcessorCores()`, which caches its answer in a plain
`static int`; two first calls at once both store the same value, and
safe Rust could already make them through `EngineOptions::new`.
- `mi_process_info` (mimalloc, src/util/stats.c) tests each of its eight
pointers for null before it writes through it, so they are `Option<&mut
usize>`.
`&mut T` and `Option<&mut T>` are passed like the pointers they replace.
Image.rs also had its own declaration of
`JSC__JSValue__unpinArrayBuffer`. bun_jsc declares that function `safe`
and wraps it as `JSValue::unpin_array_buffer`, which other files of
bun_runtime call. The two calls in Image.rs use the wrapper. That is the
removal of a duplicate declaration, not a proof: the compiler checks
nothing new at those two sites, and the C++ function still wants a value
that was pinned. In Image.rs that holds by construction, because `Pin`'s
field is private and a `Pin` is built only for a result of 2.
#### 29. js_parser_jsc: `MacroContext::call` borrows `self.macros` and
`self.bump`
`call` turned the map entry and the arena into `*const Macro` and
`*const Arena` "so the closure does not extend `&mut self`", and the
closure made references of them again with two `unsafe` blocks.
Both are borrows of one field each. What else `call` touches while they
live is other fields (`self.javascript_object`, and before that
`self.env` and `self.transform_options`), so the borrow checker accepts
`&Macro` and `&Arena` as they are. `call` holds `&mut self` across the
macro's JS as before, and `Runner::run` got the same two shared
references.
`disabled` and `vm` were copied out of the entry "so the borrow can be
released". They are read through `macro_`, `vm` after the `disabled`
test and not before it.
#### 30. ast, sql_jsc: remove three `unsafe impl Send`/`Sync` that
nothing needs
`JsonTape` is five `Vec<_, TapeAlloc>` and a fieldless enum. `TapeAlloc`
and what the element types hold (`StoreStr`, `StoreRef<ObjectJSON>`,
`StoreRef<ArrayJSON>`) have `Send` and `Sync` impls of their own, none
behind a `cfg`, so `JsonTape` is `Send + Sync` as an auto trait and its
two impls said nothing more.
sql_jsc's handle to the runtime's `SSLConfig` was declared `Send`. No
code asks for that. The type is not named outside the crate, and none of
its four holders looks at the bound:
- `MySQLConnection` sits in `JSMySQLConnection` as a
`JsCell<MySQLConnection>`, and `JsCell<T>` is `Send + Sync` for every
`T`.
- `PostgresSQLConnection` and `ConnectParams` hold an `Rc<SSLConfig>`,
which is never `Send`.
- `ConnectionCtorArgs` is `pub(crate)`, and nothing in the crate puts a
bound on it.
`Send` occurs nowhere else in the code of sql_jsc or sql, and the crate
has no platform `cfg`. Without the impl the handle is `!Send`, like the
`NonNull` in it.
The entry for src/sql_jsc/jsc.rs leaves vm-thread-door.inventory.json.
#### 31. css: two needless `unsafe` in values/ident.rs
`IdentOrRef::as_ident` built a `&[u8]` with `from_raw_parts` only to
turn it into the `*const [u8]` that `Ident` stores.
`slice_from_raw_parts` builds that pointer and no reference.
`arena_slice_newtype!` gave its three types an `unsafe fn as_slice` that
calls the safe `v()`. It has no caller.
#### 32. valkey, image, sql_jsc, ast: `&Self` guards, `&Blob`,
`&Symbol`, a `const` array
- `JSValkeyClient::on_valkey_connect` put `self.as_ctx_ptr()` in its
drop guard and dereferenced it there. Both calls in the guard take
`&self`, and `&Self` is `Copy`, so the guard holds `self`. The eight
other drop guards in js_valkey.rs held `BackRef::new(self)` (or `this`)
for the same kind of call. They hold the plain reference too, with no
other change.
- `BlobReadChain::start` made a `&mut Blob` of what `as_::<Blob>()`
returned and only called `read_bytes_to_handler(&self, ..)` on it, which
can run the handler, and through it JS, before it returns.
`as_class_ref` is `as_` plus the shared dereference, so the same tests
run.
- `CachedStructure::build_from_columns` made its array of `MaybeUninit`
with `MaybeUninit::uninit().assume_init()`. `[const { .. }; 70]` is the
safe spelling. In an optimised build neither form writes anything; at
opt-level 0 (the debug build) the old form copied the whole array with a
`memcpy` and the new one fills it with a `memset`, 70 × 32 = 2240 bytes
either way.
- `Symbol::merge_contents_with` only reads `old`, so it takes `&Symbol`.
No `unsafe` goes away with this one: its caller makes both references
from raw pointers.
#### 33. aot, md: three byte views go through `bun_core::slice_as_bytes`
`OutputSlice::put_words` (`&[u32]`), the test helper `bytes_of`
(`&[u64]`) and the markdown parser's copy of `current_block_lines` into
`block_bytes` (`&[VerbatimLine]`) each built the `&[u8]` with
`from_raw_parts`. `slice_as_bytes` is that same expression,
`#[inline(always)]`, behind the bound `T: NoUninit`.
`bytes_of` would only be another name for it, so it goes and its four
call sites, all in tests, call `slice_as_bytes`.
`VerbatimLine` (`#[repr(C)]`, three `u32`) gets the bound from
`impl_no_uninit!`, which compiles only if rustc can prove that the type
has no padding.
#### 34. ast: `Rope<'a>` links its segments with `Option<&'a mut
Rope<'a>>`
`Rope::next` was a `*mut Rope`. `append` walked the chain through
`StoreRef`, and `next_ref` turned the pointer into a `&'a Rope` of any
lifetime with an `unsafe` block for `get_or_put_object`.
Every segment is allocated in the arena that the head is allocated in
(`ropealloc` in the INI parser; `bun init` has a single segment), so the
link is a `&'a mut` into that arena. `append` walks a `&mut Option<..>`
cursor, and `get_or_put_object` reads `rope.next.as_deref()`.
`append` returned `Result<*mut Rope, AllocError>`, always `Ok`, and its
three call sites dropped the pointer. It returns nothing.
The null niche keeps the layout. In a `--release` build of bun_ast,
`get_or_put_object` compiles to the same instructions and `append` loses
the two that built its return value.
#### 35. c-ares: `ResolveHandler` names its callback as an associated
const
`ResolveHandler::raw_callback` was an `unsafe extern "C" fn` in the
trait. Its one impl, for `ResolveInfoRequest<T>`, forwarded its five
arguments to `T::RAW_CALLBACK` from inside an `unsafe` block.
The trait now has `const RAW_CALLBACK: unsafe extern "C" fn(..)`, the
shape `CAresRecordType::RAW_CALLBACK` and `AresReply::PARSE` have, and
the impl names `T::RAW_CALLBACK`. `Channel::resolve`, the only user,
keeps its two `unsafe` blocks: it calls the constant for a bad name and
hands it to `ares_query` otherwise. c-ares then calls the record type's
thunk itself, and not a thunk that calls it.
### How did you verify your code works?
- **Static checks on the final commits:** `cargo fmt --check`, `cargo
clippy --workspace` (0 warnings), the source lints and `cargo check
--workspace --release` on Linux, and `cargo check --workspace --release`
for `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`, `aarch64-apple-darwin` and
`x86_64-unknown-freebsd`, because four changes touch code that Linux
does not compile.
- **Assembly:** the comparison above.
- **After the assembly comparison and the tests had run,** three more
commits went into #47895, which is under these, and a rebase brought in
one more commit of `main` (#47900). Together they touch 17 files. This
PR touches one of them, Image.rs, in other functions, and all 35 patches
here stayed as they were. Then changes 2 and 17 were narrowed: six
imports that they had marked `safe fn` stay unsafe imports and are
called as on `main`. I compared the release assembly of all crates
before and after that, and no function differs. The static checks ran
last.
- **30 test files on the final code,** on a debug build with ASAN, all
started at once and each stopped after 50 seconds.
- 24 files of Bun's own tests pass completely, 3,137 tests:
`macro-test`, `css.test.ts`, `image.test.ts`, `image-adversarial`,
`bun-cryptohasher`, `x509`, `node-https-checkServerIdentity`,
`blocklist-gc`, `napi-value-ffi`, `cc.test.ts` and `ptr-byte-offset` of
`bun:ffi`, `ini.test.ts`, `valkey-gc`, 4 files on IPC (`spawn.ipc`,
`spawn-ipc-gc`, `bun-ipc-inherit`, `child_process_ipc`), 4 of
`test/js/node/zlib` and 3 of `test/js/node/quic`.
- 4 of Node's own tests for `node:quic` pass: `test-quic-blocklist`,
`test-quic-connection-limits`, `test-quic-endpoint-busy` and
`test-quic-internal-endpoint-options`.
- `node-dns.test.js` passes 144 tests and fails 28, the same 28 as on a
debug build without these commits. They need a DNS server, which I did
not have.
- `snapshot.test.ts` was stopped at 50 seconds, also when it ran alone.
No test had failed by then. Its group `inline snapshots`, which runs the
code that change 26 touches in snapshot.rs, passes when run by name: 35
tests, and 1 that the file skips.
- **8 more files for the parser, the printer and their users,** run the
same way.
- 6 pass completely, 964 tests: `transpiler.test.js`, `decorators`,
`decorator-metadata`, `es-decorators`, and `vitest-flavor` and
`expect-deferred`, whose callbacks go through `ContextParameter::of`.
- `bake/dev/esm.test.ts`, for the bundler's `to_expr`, passes 12 tests
and fails 7, the same 7 as on a debug build without these commits. They
need `happy-dom`, which I did not have.
- `ffi.test.js` was stopped at 50 seconds. No test had failed by then.

What does this PR do?
A dependency written as a tarball URL, such as
"pkg": "https://registry.example.com/files/pkg-1.0.0.tgz", is always downloaded withAuthorization::NoAuthorization. With this PR it gets configured credentials when the project names the URL.How installs change
The project names a tarball URL when:
file:folder that one of them depends on lists it as a dependency, oroverrides/resolutions, a catalog orpackageExtensions.For such a URL,
Options::tarball_credentialspicks the credentials, as it already does for a registry package's tarball, with the default registry as the registry:.npmrcline whose key covers the URL, if the URL ishttps;https, under an.npmrckeygithub:dependencyThis holds for a first install, for an install from
bun.lock, forbun add <url>, and for both linkers.Behavior change for URLs with credentials in them. When the project names
https://user:pass@registry.example.com/files/pkg.tgzand configured credentials apply to it, Bun now sends the configured credentials instead ofuser:pass. Configured credentials already win this way for a registry package's tarball.Differences from npm
Task::Id::for_tarball(url)) serves every name that points at the URL. A scoped registry's credentials reach a tarball URL only through an.npmrcline for that URL, overhttps..npmrcline overhttpsonly. Neither is new here.Code

Each passed what the new rule gives, except the two tarball URL call sites: the first resolve (bind_row_without_manifest) andenqueue_tarball_for_download.Lockfile::is_tarball_url_of_project(url)answers whether the project names a URL.OverrideMap::values(),CatalogMap::values()andPackageExtensions::has_specifier()are new.warn_missing_catalog_entriesuses the first.request_remote_package_ahead: while credentials are configured, a tarball URL that the project does not name yet is left to the turn of its dependency. The root's rows are resolved first and workspaces sort first among them, so by that turn the root, the workspaces and theirfile:folders are in the lockfile. A local tarball that another package lists already waits for its turn the same way.Limits
file:folder that only an override selects does not count as part of the project here, unlike inis_local_declarer. It can be resolved after another package that lists the same URL.
