Build JavaScriptCore and ICU from source in bun's own build graph on every target

[dylan-conway]

JavaScriptCore, WTF, bmalloc — and, on every target except macOS, ICU — are compiled from source inside bun's own ninja graph, like every other vendored dependency, instead of being downloaded as a prebuilt bun-webkit-* tarball. This is the default for every build, local and CI; --webkit=prebuilt remains as an explicit opt-in.

What changes

CI

• All 13 build-bun lanes (Linux x64/arm64 glibc + baseline + musl + ASAN, Android, FreeBSD, macOS x64/arm64, Windows x64/arm64) compile JSC in the same graph as bun's own C++; no libJavaScriptCore.a/libWTF.a/libbmalloc.a step — the objects go straight into the same archive/link as bun's.
• A WebKit change no longer needs a prebuilt to be published before bun can build against it: bump WEBKIT_VERSION to any commit pushed to oven-sh/WebKit.
• build-bun steps take ~1–2.5 min longer per target. Binary sizes: see the table below (nothing grew; FreeBSD/Android −13 MB from ICU data packing, windows-arm64 −3.5 MB, the rest under 2 MB).
• Build images: bootstrap.sh v42 adds flex/bison (host migcom for the macOS lanes). Linux images are baked as a Buildkite job on a fresh machine of the target distro plus a wait-for-image step, instead of an instance driven over SSH from the hosted agent.
• build-bun is a plain full build now (the archive-link mode is removed): bun's objects go straight into the link as in a local build, and the per-lane libbun-*.a.gz / libbun_runtime.a.gz / dep-lib artifact uploads, which nothing consumed, are gone. cpp-only keeps its archive for the split pipeline. The precompiled header is built whenever C++ is compiled (previously skipped for CI + full).
• bootstrap.ps1 v23: ruby and zstd for native from-source builds on the Windows images, and LLVM 21.1.8 installed from its release installer (scoop's llvm@21.1.8 now generates a non-existent .msi URL).
• Buildkite canvas: verify-baseline and trace-order are drawn beside each target's build group instead of inside it (from ci: draw verify-baseline and trace-order beside the build group, not inside it #41408; no scheduling change).

Local development

• bun bd / bun run build compile JSC too (fetched by ninja like every dep, ~35 MB sparse; the first build of a build dir pays ~2 min for JSC, then it is incremental and ccache-friendly). Host tools needed: ruby, python3, perl (JSC's generators), zstd (ICU data, non-macOS targets), and flex/bison only when cross-compiling a macOS target from Linux (a Mac uses Xcode's mig).
• Release builds are LTO by default everywhere (what CI ships); --lto=off for fast relinks. The btg profile is gone (it was "release + LTO"). On a native macOS or Windows host whose rustc LLVM is newer than clang's (today: nightly LLVM 22 vs Homebrew llvm@21), the Rust↔C++ cross-language step is skipped and each half LTOs on its own — Apple's ld runs LTO through clang's libLTO, which can't read newer bitcode and has no lld to swap in; CI cross-compiles both from Linux with rustc's lld and keeps full cross-language LTO.
• Working on JSC itself: --local-deps=WebKit=<your clone> on any profile, like every other dep; bun run build:local is that with $BUN_WEBKIT_PATH. The debug-local/release-local profiles and the nested-cmake WebKit build are removed. vendor/WebKit is the build's own fetch, so clones live elsewhere.
• Upgrading WebKit: the build itself checks the fetched tree against what scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts transcribes — Sources.txt against the checked-in unified-bundle lists, and a canonical rendering of the relevant CMake statements (generators, options, compiler flags) against webkit-cmake.snapshot — and fails with a diff when a bump changes them; .claude/commands/upgrade-webkit.md says where each kind of change maps.

How it works

• One dep kind. Every C/C++ dep is a direct spec in scripts/build/deps/*.ts: source groups (each with its own flags/includes/PCH), steps (generators, host tools, target executables), headers (files written at configure). WebKit is the same shape as zlib, just larger; the custom kind is gone.
• WebKit (deps/webkit.ts + deps/webkit-{bmalloc,wtf,jsc,llint,inspector}-sources.ts): bmalloc, WTF and JavaScriptCore as three source groups; JSC's TUs are the unified bundles listed explicitly in webkit-sources.ts (as WebKit's bundler forms them, regenerated on a bump) plus the @no-unify files; every generator WebKit's cmake runs (create_hash_table LUTs, bytecode/Air/yarr/wasm generators, JS builtins, inspector protocol, GeneratePreferences, offlineasm via the two LLInt extractor executables, MIG on macOS) is a step invoking the same script with the same arguments; cmakeconfig.h, the <JavaScriptCore/X.h> / <bmalloc/X.h> forwarding stubs and the bundle files are headers entries. Compile flags reproduce OptionsJSCOnly / WebKitCompilerFlags / OptionsMSVC per platform on top of bun's dep-global flags, so JSC gets bun's -march, LTO, sanitizer and hardening settings. Nothing reads the WebKit tree at configure time.
• ICU (deps/icu.ts + deps/icu-sources.ts, icu-data.ts): common/i18n compiled in-graph; a host icupkg; the data file filtered and its display-name items zstd-repacked with a trained dictionary, decompressed on first use through src/jsc/bindings/bun_icu_decompress.cpp. That scheme was already in the Linux/Windows prebuilts; it now applies uniformly (Linux, musl, Android, FreeBSD, Windows). macOS keeps the SDK's libicucore.
• Link-time checks run as ninja validations of bun's link on every lane, all static (scripts/build/verify-binary.ts, expectations per target in binary-expectations.ts): exported symbols vs the lists in src/; the exact NEEDED / dylib / import-DLL set and the glibc (2.17) / FBSD (1.7) symbol-version ceiling (un-numbered version nodes such as GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR count; Android's floor is bionic's LIBC…LIBC_P / LIBLOG…LIBLOG_O, API 28); forbidden imports (__cxa_throw, __emutls_*, …); every static initializer symbolized and matched against the runtime's known ones (none may come from bun/JSC/WTF); nx-stack / no-RWX / PIE / DllCharacteristics; debug-info shape; and no symbol strongly defined by two link inputs (every input must be readable by the scanning tool — under the rustc/clang LLVM skew the scan uses rustup's llvm-nm, hence the llvm-tools component in rust-toolchain.toml). Plus the existing --revision smoke test (host-runnable targets only) and the JSC ClassInfo audit.
• testFFI (JSC's bun:ffi ABI test program) is compiled and linked by bun.ts next to bun from the same objects and shipped in the CI artifact; the test fails, not skips, if it is missing in CI.
• Native macOS and Windows hosts (which CI never exercises — every lane cross-compiles from Linux) were built end to end: Xcode's mig, clang-cl as the target compiler with clang as the host compiler, ICU data packing and testFFI all work there.
• Cross targets build from the Linux agents as before: macOS with the SDK plus Apple's migcom built for the host (deps/bootstrap-cmds.ts), Windows with clang-cl and the auto-fetched MSVC sysroot, FreeBSD/Android with their sysroots. macOS and Windows hosts work too.
• Linking without archives. bun's own objects and the dependencies' objects go straight to the link; no libbun-*.a, no per-dep .a/.lib. The dep objects are a lazy group (link()'s lazyObjects: lld's /start-lib … /end-lib, i.e. taken only if referenced — a static library's semantics minus the file). That matters on Windows: COFF linkers discard unreferenced code only at COMDAT granularity, so an object with plain sections that nothing calls (any NASM output — BoringSSL's AES-GCM-SIV asm is never called on Windows by BoringSSL's own design) would otherwise be linked whole; upstream and Chromium rely on archive member selection for the same thing. The group reaches lld-link through clang-cl as /clang:-Wl,@<exe>.lazy.rsp. On ELF/Mach-O the objects simply follow bun's in $in (those linkers dead-strip per section).
• Windows: /lld-allow-duplicate-weak. WTF/JSC reference bun's hooks (WTFTimer__*, Bun__errorInstance__finalize, Bun__reportUnhandledError) as __attribute__((weak)); COFF has no weak undefined symbol, so each referencing TU carries a weak external with its own absolute-0 default and lld-link (MSVC mode) reports two such TUs as a duplicate symbol even though bun's strong definition wins — which ThinLTO importing RunLoop::TimerBase::start() into a JSC module produces. lld-link's switch for exactly that check is on for bun's and the JSC test programs' links (the latter previously used /force:multiple); duplicate strong definitions still error. It becomes a no-op once lld-link accepts several weak references to one symbol (fixed in bun's LLVM toolchain) and is to be dropped then.

Build-system changes that came along:

• ninja.ts declares every build-dir output under its absolute path as well, so a header a compiler depfile names absolutely resolves to its generator and its includers recompile in the same run (was one build late; affected bun's own codegen/ too).
• ninja_required_version is 1.11 (validations). One phony per order-only group instead of repeating generated-header lists on every compile edge.
• One dep_codegen rule (stream.ts --cwd/--env/--stdout) for all dep generators; host_cc/host_cxx/host_link for host tools; hostCc/hostCxx are the plain clang drivers for any Windows target; -fsanitize=address is part of the target link flags; tarball sources carry a sha256; dep fetches print [name] … (elapsed).
• Tools that assumed a prebuilt layout now read the build: scripts/jsc-exception-lint takes JSC's TUs from compile_commands.json; bun-inspector-protocol's generator reads our CombinedDomains.json; .vscode/c_cpp_properties.json just points at the compile database.

Bugs and misconfigurations on main that this fixes

Found by diffing compile lines against WebKit's cmake and dissecting main's release binaries target by target:

• windows-arm64: JSC compiled with FP contraction. JSC's CMakeLists sets -ffp-contract=off -fno-slp-vectorize for the whole target; clang-cl ignores the GNU spellings and cmake's probe dropped them, so the Windows prebuilt never had them. On arm64 that fused Date arithmetic (setNewValueFromTimeArgs, millisecondsFromComponents, dateProtoFuncSetYear, …) into fmadd, i.e. different rounding than every other platform and than the JIT. Now passed as /clang:-ffp-contract=off /clang:-fno-slp-vectorize.
• Stack protector depended on the host compiler's vendor default. Nothing stated a policy, so CI (apt.llvm.org clang) shipped without it while a build on Arch/Alpine/Fedora-packaged clang got -fstack-protector-strong in every eligible function (62k canary checks vs 161), and the musl JSC prebuilt (Alpine clang) had it while no other target did. -fno-stack-protector is now explicit on unix.
• PIC depended on the host compiler's default for deps. bun's own objects were -fno-pic, vendored deps got whatever the building clang defaults to. CI's clang defaults to non-PIE so release artifacts were unaffected, but on hosts whose clang defaults to PIE (Arch, Fedora, Alpine, Homebrew) every dep was PIC: .data.rel.ro 541 KB instead of 109 KB and 4–7% more pages touched at startup. Every dep now gets bun's PIC policy explicitly.
• windows-arm64 tuned for Ampere. -mtune=ampere1 (copied from the Linux server lane) padded every function and loop to 64 bytes on Snapdragon hardware; MSVC, Chromium and Rust use generic tuning there. Dropped; -march=armv8-a+crc unchanged.
• Windows: the exe's import library overwrote the object archive. bun.exe exports symbols, so lld-link wrote bun-profile.lib, the same path as the object archive cpp-only mode produces. It now goes to obj/<exe>.import.lib.
• Generated headers were one build late. A generated header named absolutely in a depfile didn't match its relative ninja output, so includers recompiled on the next run (bun's codegen/ headers too). Fixed in ninja.ts as above.
• FreeBSD/Android shipped 13 MB of ICU data they never load. Only the Linux and Windows prebuilts filtered and compressed ICU data; every non-macOS target now does.
• With a warm ccache, the second build of a fresh build dir recompiled hundreds of objects (macOS, Windows). The build exported CCACHE_FILECLONE=1; entries stored that way are raw files, and a hit is materialized by clone (APFS) or CopyFile (Windows), both keeping the entry's mtime, so objects came out older than headers generated in the same run. Dropped, plus CCACHE_NAMESPACE=bun so the raw entries already in everyone's cache are never hit again.
• bun run build never reached a no-op with an isolated-layout node_modules. The install edge declared node_modules/<dep>/package.json as outputs; ninja pre-creates output directories, so node_modules/<dep>/ existed before bun install ran, bun's isolated linker skipped the symlink, and install (plus the esbuild/cargo edges behind it) re-ran on every build. It now declares the node_modules/<dep> entry itself.
• Links were serialized through ninja's console pool. link was a pool = console rule (depth 1), so once the graph had more than one executable (bun, testFFI, JSC's LLInt extractors) bun's link waited behind the others — ~25 s per release lane. Links are ordinary edges now; the smoke test and ClassInfo check became ninja validations of the link.
• Every build after a build-script edit configured twice. ninja judges its regen edge by the mtime it recorded for build.ninja, not the file's, so the manifest build.ts had just refreshed still looked stale and ninja ran configure again ([0/1] reconfigure). Configure now stamps the manifest and ninja -t restats it.
• bun.exe exported bmalloc's API and libpas' g_config. bmalloc's BEXPORT is __declspec(dllexport) even in a static build (WTF's macro has the fork's carve-out, bmalloc's doesn't); 23 stray exports on top of the intended Node-API/V8/libuv/llhttp set (same on main's prebuilt). Found by the new export check; fixed with -DBEXPORT=.
• Debug builds ran ~93 static initializers from the generated classes. ZigGeneratedClasses.cpp initialized each extern "C" <Type>__ptrOffset from a non-constexpr offsetOfWrapped(); -O2 folded them, -O0 ran them at startup. constexpr now, so they're constant-initialized in every build (found by the new initializer audit).
• bun.exe ran in the Windows Vista compatibility context. Its manifest had no <compatibility>/<trustInfo> section, so Windows applied Vista-era behavior (version APIs capped at 6.2, PCA monitoring) to bun and every addon in-process. Now declares Windows 7–11 and asInvoker, like node.exe; one visible effect is process.report's header.osRelease reporting 10.0 instead of 6.1 on Windows 10/11 (os.release() was already right, it uses RtlGetVersion). Found by comparing against node's binaries.
• Linux/FreeBSD exported four bun-internal napi_internal_* helpers through the napi* glob in the version script (macOS/Windows didn't). Renamed out of the napi_ namespace.
• WebKit's own warning set wasn't applied when compiling it (once JSC is built here rather than by cmake): -Wall -Wextra … -Werror=undefined-inline/-internal and the -Wno-* upstream carries (e.g. clang 21's -Wcharacter-conversion) now match WebKitCompilerFlags.cmake / OptionsMSVC.cmake.

What changes in the shipped binaries

Sizes are the stripped bun from CI's binary-size step (build 110808) against main's canary of the same day (110791):

target	this PR	vs main	why
linux-x64 / linux-aarch64	75.80 / 75.74 MB	−120 KB / −65 KB	JSC/WTF/bmalloc compiled with bun's flags (explicit -fno-stack-protector, -march, debug-info/hardening) instead of WebKit's cmake; same NEEDED set, glibc 2.17 floor, exports, ICU 78.3 / Unicode 17 data
darwin-aarch64 / darwin-x64	59.16 / 65.13 MB	−290 KB / −630 KB	same; the prebuilt was compiled by a clang that defaults to stack protectors, bun's flags say -fno-stack-protector
linux-x64-musl / aarch64-musl	68.58 / 68.03 MB	−1.58 MB / −1.23 MB	the musl prebuilt came from Alpine's clang (-fstack-protector-strong by default): ~60k JSC functions lose the canary check
linux-{x64,aarch64}-android	72.63 / 70.12 MB	−12.75 MB / −12.73 MB	ICU data now filtered and zstd-packed as it already was on Linux and Windows (decompressed on first use)
freebsd-x64 / freebsd-aarch64	74.55 / 77.74 MB	−12.87 MB / −12.83 MB	same
windows-x64	81.40 MB	−0.84 MB	ICU's common/i18n code is compiled as ThinLTO bitcode in bun's link instead of the fork's non-LTO MSBuild static libs, so unreferenced ICU functions and their unwind records go (−0.78 MB: .text −201 KB, .rdata/.xdata −476 KB, .pdata −100 KB; the data blob is unchanged — Windows already shipped it filtered+zstd); Rust −0.15 MB from cross-language LTO decisions; JSC/WTF ±0
windows-aarch64	70.58 MB	−3.47 MB	generic scheduling instead of -mtune=ampere1, whose 64-byte function/loop alignment padded all of JSC once it followed bun's flags; JSC gets -ffp-contract=off -fno-slp-vectorize under clang-cl as everywhere else (Date arithmetic no longer fused into fmadd)

Also:

• Windows x64 / arm64: 23 fewer exports from bun.exe (bmalloc/libpas symbols gone; the Node-API, libuv, V8-shim and llhttp exports are unchanged, matching node.exe).
• Windows x64 / arm64 — runtime behavior change: bun.exe's manifest now declares supportedOS (Windows 7 through 10/11) and requestedExecutionLevel asInvoker, so Windows stops running bun (and every native addon it loads) in the Vista compatibility context: GetVersionEx/VerifyVersionInfo report the real OS version in-process (process.report's header.osRelease reads 10.0 on Windows 10/11, previously 6.1), the Program Compatibility Assistant no longer tracks the process, and installer-detection heuristics no longer apply. node.exe ships the same manifest sections.
• Linux / FreeBSD: 4 fewer exports (napi_internal_*).
• All targets: testFFI[.exe] ships next to bun-profile in the profile zip (debug info stripped, 35–80 MB).
• Not changed, now pinned by the link-time checks: exported symbol set (ELF/Mach-O), dynamic library set and symbol-version ceilings, zero static initializers from bun/JSC/WTF, nx-stack / no RWX / PIE-where-required / DllCharacteristics, no RELRO/BIND_NOW on ELF (the existing -z norelro -z lazy link mode), musl's dynamic libstdc++.so.6 (shared with N-API addons, as node does).

Verification

• CI green on every target with the full test suite.
• Generated sources byte-compared against WebKit's own cmake build of the same commit: all LUTs, bytecode/Air/yarr/wasm outputs, JSCBuiltins.{h,cpp}, inspector outputs, the LLInt headers and the unified bundles are identical; cmakeconfig.h is row-identical to each platform's prebuilt header (release and debug).
• Compile lines token-diffed against cmake's per platform; remaining differences are bun-wide policy.
• Release binaries diffed against main's for every target (sections, symbols, exports, ISA mix, DWARF, startup instruction/page counts): parity, apart from the changes listed above.
• Incremental behaviour: a second ninja is a no-op; regenerating a header recompiles its includers in the same run; reconfigure with unchanged inputs rewrites nothing; a build dir with no vendor/ trees fetches WebKit/ICU as ordinary ninja edges.

dep_fetch description to explain that dependencies with needsSourceAtConfigure:
true are prefetched by configure.ts via prefetchConfigureSources before emitBun,
including ICU and source-mode WebKit, while resolveDep still emits the Ninja
dep_fetch edge afterward. Clearly distinguish configure-time availability from
the later Ninja build edge.

Outside diff comments:
In `@scripts/build/deps/icu.ts`:
- Around line 151-157: Update emitIcu’s host-object build flow to pre-create
each parent directory for the nested paths in hostObjects before invoking
host_cxx; use the host object outputs rather than target output.objects, and
ensure both compiler output and dependency-file paths are covered.

The in-tree JSC build changed the frame layouts so that test-process-finalization.mjs (gc-not-close.mjs) started to fail on main at random: a stale cell address left by the post-entry collection now lines up with an unwritten slot in Interpreter::executeCall. Fix in #41669.
