Summary

A step from swc's and oxc's "writes a variable's value at its one read" groups. terser's collapse_vars stops at any read of a global it cannot see declared. So in var v = g(); return Math.max(v, 1) the variable stays, because the read of Math blocks the move. The improve phase now lets collapse_vars move a value past a read that can't observe the move:

  • the read is of a built-in global (Math, JSON, Date, …) or one of its standard methods (Math.max, Date.now). console and its members count only for a value without side effects, since bundles do patch console;
  • the name is undeclared and no with or eval can rebind it;
  • the move happens on the last pass only, so earlier passes still fold what they fold;
  • the declaration then goes away entirely: a var, let or const read once, declared once, written nowhere else, and not exported, top-retained or an argument of a function called in place.
// function f() { var v = g(); return Math.max(v, 1); }
// before
function f(){var v=g();return Math.max(v,1)}
// after
function f(){return Math.max(g(),1)}

Minified against main:

Code raw gzip
the 12 real-world bundles in benches/full, passes: 2 −565 −348
webpack's own lib/ (781 files, ecma: 2020) −125 −45

The corpora print what they should:

  • 3 sources retire from swcSmaller.js and 10 from oxcSmaller.js;
  • two IMPROVED_YET_BIGGER entries (vue.js, fixture/issues/12215) no longer compress worse and are retired;
  • two test262 sources are shorter but compress 2–3 bytes worse with gzip, so they are listed there.

The check is two lookups per read the scanner meets, so CPU time is unchanged.

What kind of change does this PR introduce?

feat

Did you add tests for your changes?

Yes, in test/unitCases/syntax-printer.unittest.js:

  • An improved case: a value moved past a read of console, a built-in or one of its methods.
  • Kept cases, which stay as terser writes them:
    • a global no built-in names, a member a built-in computes, a shadowed built-in, or a built-in the value writes;
    • a value with effects before a read of console, which it may patch.
  • An existing ES2021 case now reads through a function, so it still covers what it was written for.

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

No.

If relevant, what needs to be documented once your changes are merged or what have you already documented?

docs/syntax.md will list this rewrite with the other minifier changes in one docs update.

Use of AI

Written with Claude Code: it found where terser's scanner stops, wrote the change and tests, and ran the corpora, differential and size checks; I reviewed the result.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved compression in applicable cases involving reads of built-in globals and methods, which can reduce output size.
    • Preserved the order of effectful operations when reads of built-ins or console may be shadowed, changed, or otherwise unsafe to move past.
    • Refined compression results across compatibility cases, including cases where using a built-in read would make the compressed output larger.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The compressor checks selected built-in reads during qualifying final-pass variable collapses. Unit and corpus tests cover the output. The OXC and SWC comparison fixture lists and gzip exception entries are revised.

Read Changed, test untouched first: the test is byte-identical on both sides, so webpack generated the difference. Changed, test edited moved partly because the test did — Test edit is how many bytes the test gained, and a bundle that grew by less is not a regression. New and Deleted are whole files, not deltas — a new asset was created, not grown, so it reads gray (⚪ added) — and adding tests cannot bury a real change. Gzip decides, because that is what users download; raw is the tiebreak, and brotli and zstd are per asset below.

No asset changed size.

No runtime gained or lost a runtime module.

Built test/configCases with the defaults a user gets: 2338 test(s), 8434 asset(s), 100 emitted nothing.

Footnotes

  1. 6 benchmarks were skipped, so the baseline results were used instead. If they were deleted from the codebase, click here and archive them to remove them from the performance reports. ↩

  2. No successful run was found on main (86d31e0) during the generation of this report, so f6ab46e was used instead as the comparison base. There might be some changes unrelated to this pull request in this report. ↩

On the last pass, `collapse_vars` no longer stops at a read of `console`, a
built-in global or one of its standard methods, which no value moved past it
can change, where the declaration it moves goes away entirely.

tightenBody declared its seven steps inside itself, sharing `changed`
and the scope with them, so every call built them again, 54,503 times
per minify of typescript.js, with the closures some of them built per
statement on top. The steps are now module-level functions handed one
state object per nesting depth, and their inner closures take what they
read as arguments.

Also carries #22521's fit of two printer tests to #22473 and #22499
together, which fail on main and gate the integration jobs.

retired it on its own.

`if (a) return x; if (b) return x;` becomes `if (a || b) return x;`, and

…22504)

* perf(javascript): print a mangled program once, naming it afterwards

The mangle phase printed the tree twice: once to count the characters
the names are chosen from, once for the result. It now prints before
the names are chosen, recording where each name and each import or
export `as` clause lies, counts the characters off that text and writes
the names into it once chosen, moving the source map's columns with
them. The `let` declarations the improve phase left for after naming
are written before that print, and the count puts back what they
changed. A print that wrote a comment, shebang or preamble still counts
with a print of its own, as those are not counted.
