Summary

The one pass prints a simple call as its function's value (#22956), each parameter as the name passed. When that name's read prints something else instead (a function moved to it, a folded value, an inlined constant), its declaration is gone and the output reads an undefined name. Such a call now prints as written.

(function () { function h(k) { return k + 1 } function f(a) { var c = 5; return h(c) + a } console.log(f(3)) })()
// before: (function(){console.log(function(n){return o+1+n}(3))})();  → ReferenceError
// after:  (function(){console.log(function(n){return function(n){return n+1}(5)+n}(3))})();  → 9

Sizes over lodash, three, acorn, babel-parser, prettier and terser are unchanged (455,533 B gzip), and the 672 terser expect_stdout cases still print the same. No changeset: #22956 is not released yet.

What kind of change does this PR introduce?

fix

Did you add tests for your changes?

Yes, a row in the one-pass table in test/unitCases/javascript/printer.unittest.js with a moved function, an inlined constant and a folded object passed.

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?

n/a

Use of AI

Written with Claude Code: it found the bug while checking the one pass for shadowed names, wrote the failing test first, then the fix, and ran the printer unit tests, the terser behavior cases and lint.

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved minification of calls with function, numeric, or object arguments, preserving the resulting calls and expressions when arguments are transformed.

…one pass

A call printed as its function's value prints each parameter as the name
passed for it, which a moved function, a folded value or an inlined
constant no longer declares: such a call prints as written.

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: 2318 test(s), 9450 asset(s), 103 emitted nothing.

Walkthrough

The tree printer now cancels a recorded function reduction when a call argument is moved, collapsed, or inlined. A one-pass minification test covers calls with function, number, and object arguments.

Changes: Reduced-call argument handling

lib/javascript/syntax-printer.js, test/unitCases/javascript/printer.unittest.js
The printer cancels the function reduction, call reduction, and parameter substitutions when an argument is moved, collapsed, or inlined. A test covers nested calls with function, number, and object arguments.

Closing: this fix is already on main via #22969. Rebasing onto main leaves this branch with no changes, and its test row (printer.unittest.js, "A call prints as its value only where what it passes prints as named") passes on current main.
