Remove dead code from C++ bindings, src/js builtins, CSS, and Rust util crates

[robobun]

Deletes ~1170 net lines of dead code across 46 files. Follows #35002 into areas that sweep didn't reach (C++ bindings, built-in JS) plus CSS option chains that are provably unreachable.

C++ bindings (src/jsc/bindings/, ~610 lines)

Whole headers with zero #include references:

• objects.h (254 lines, entirely commented-out since the initial port)
• ZigLazyStaticFunctions-inlines.h

extern "C" functions with zero callers across src/**/*.rs, vendor/, packages/, and build/debug/codegen/:
JSC__JSValue__fastGetOwn, JSC__JSValue__createRopeString, JSC__VM__externalMemorySize, JSC__JSValue__dateInstanceFromNullTerminatedString, JSC__JSValue__DateNowISOString, DOMFormData__toQueryString, Bun__REPL__formatValue, bun_ignore_sigpipe, Bun__disableSOLinger, getJSCBytecodeCacheVersion, Zig__GlobalObject__getModuleRegistryMap, Zig__GlobalObject__resetModuleRegistryMap, JSGlobalObject__requestTermination, functionFulfillModuleSync, JSC__createEmptyObjectWithStructure, JSC__putDirectOffset, highway_json_index, Bake__getSSRResponseConstructor, StringBuilder__appendUtf16, StringBuilder__appendQuotedJsonString, Bun__JSBigIntStatFSObjectConstructor, Bun__JSStatFSObjectConstructor, ScriptExecutionContextIdentifier__forGlobalObject, Yarr__RegularExpression__matchedLength, Yarr__RegularExpression__searchRev, Cookie__fromJS, jsFetchHeaders_getRawKeys

Built-in JS (src/js/, ~260 lines)

• builtins/CommonJS.ts: 131-line commented-out loadEsmIntoCjs__dead block (legacy pre-module-loader-rewrite implementation)
• builtins/JSBufferPrototype.ts: setBigUint64 (no jsBufferPrototypeSetBigUint64CodeGenerator consumer in C++)
• internal/http.ts: 27 Symbol consts that are declared and exported but never imported anywhere, plus getRawKeys, emitCloseNTAndComplete, ClientRequestEmitState
• $fulfillModuleSync private builtin (only referenced from the removed CommonJS.ts block)

CSS option chains (src/css/, ~350 lines)

Every PrinterOptions construction in the tree uses ..Default::default() with only minify and targets set. These option fields are never set to non-default, so their downstream branches are unreachable:

• PrinterOptions.analyze_dependencies: DependencyOptions, Dependency, ImportDependency, UrlDependency, Printer.dependencies, Printer.remove_imports, and the dep-collection branches in rules/import.rs, rules/mod.rs, properties/custom.rs, values/url.rs, values/image.rs; also Url::is_absolute (only caller was a removed branch). dependencies::Location stays (live users).
• PrinterOptions.pseudo_classes: the PseudoClasses struct and the pseudo! macro indirection in selectors/selector.rs
• PrinterErrorKind::ambiguous_url_in_custom_property and ::invalid_css_modules_pattern_in_grid (never constructed)

Rust util crates (~25 lines)

• bun_core/util.rs: FdOptional (unused; only re-exported)
• bun_core/env_var.rs: BUN_NEEDS_PROC_SELF_WORKAROUND, MI_VERBOSE, TODIUM

Cargo.toml

Unused dependencies dropped from collections, paths, io, glob, css (21 entries).

Verification

• bun bd builds clean (no warnings)
• bun run rust:check-all passes on all 10 targets
• css.test.ts, css-modules.test.ts, css-loader.test.ts, node:http smoke test, dead-code-escapes.test.ts all pass
• Each extern "C" symbol grepped against vendor/WebKit/ (caught Bun__analyzeTranspiledModule, which is live via weak-override and was left alone)

Not removed

• src/react_compiler/ has ~3.4k lines of unreferenced debug/print modules, but DESIGN.md marks hir/, diagnostics/, validation/ as byte-for-byte upstream ports kept for the sync workflow; left untouched.
• MinifyOptions.unused_symbols chain (~95 lines): also provably unreachable, but removing it cascades a parent_is_unused: bool parameter through ~20 minify() signatures. Left for a separate change.

root cause · written by the author bot

The bug was residual dead code left behind by an API cleanup that applied its own removal criterion inconsistently: PrinterOptions.project_root was never set to a non-default value at any construction site, so its entire downstream chain through CssModule::new was unreachable, and similar dead surface remained in the unused is_custom_property parameter and stale comments referencing the removed hive get() API. The fix removes project_root along with its capture, parameter, and argument chain, the unreachable branch in css_modules.rs, and the struct's now-unneeded lifetime paramete…

[claude]

The follow-up commit addressed both orphan findings from my earlier pass (the jsFetchHeaders_getRawKeys C++ body/decl and the Url::is_absolute + stale doc comments in src/css/). I found nothing further, but at ~1.6k lines deleted across 53 files — including extern "C" ABI surface, builtins codegen inputs, and PrinterOptions/ToCssResult field removals — this is worth a human skim before merge.

• Re-grepped every removed src/js/internal/http.ts export against src/js/ — no remaining importers.
• Verified dependencies::Location (the one surviving type in dependencies.rs) is still consumed via properties/custom.rs and values/url.rs, so the module isn't dead.
• Spot-checked setBigUint64, FdOptional, JSBundlerPlugin__onVirtualModulePlugin, Bun__startLoop, and the CSS analyze_dependencies/PseudoClasses chain — no remaining references in src/.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

Dead-code sweep across 53 files: ~700 lines of unreferenced extern "C" functions and orphaned headers in src/jsc/bindings/, ~260 lines of unreferenced builtins/symbols in src/js/, ~430 lines of unreachable PrinterOptions.analyze_dependencies / pseudo_classes option chains in src/css/, ~150 lines of unused Rust util-crate items, and 22 unused Cargo dependencies. A source-lint test guards against reintroduction. My earlier review flagged two orphans this PR itself created (jsFetchHeaders_getRawKeys and Url::is_absolute + two stale doc comments); commit db8e765 addressed all of them.

Security risks

None identified. Pure deletions of unreachable code; no auth, crypto, or input-validation paths touched. The removed bun_ignore_sigpipe / Bun__disableSOLinger were unreferenced C helpers, not live signal/socket setup.

Level of scrutiny

High, due to breadth. extern "C" symbols can be referenced from generated code (build/debug/codegen/) or via WebKit weak-override, and src/js/builtins/*.ts exports are consumed by string name through the codegen bundler — both are exactly the class of "public items escape dead-code lints" that a compiler won't catch. The PR description documents grepping all four surfaces (src/, vendor/, packages/, build/debug/codegen/) and explicitly notes the one weak-override case it caught (Bun__analyzeTranspiledModule) and left alone. I spot-checked a representative sample and found the methodology holds.

Other factors

• The CSS changes remove public fields from PrinterOptions, ToCssResult, and css_modules::Config and drop PseudoClasses from the crate re-export list. Every in-tree construction site uses ..Default::default() so this compiles, but it's a public-API shape change a maintainer should be aware of.
• hive_array.rs removes HiveRefHandle::into_raw/get_mut and rewrites the round-trip test to use as_ptr() + mem::forget() — behaviorally equivalent, and the from_raw doc was updated to match.
• The PR states bun bd builds clean and rust:check-all passes on all 10 targets, plus the listed test files pass; that's the right verification for a deletion sweep but doesn't substitute for a maintainer glance at which surfaces were pruned.

Deferring given the scale and the number of ABI/codegen-adjacent surfaces touched.

The two orphan issues from the earlier pass (jsFetchHeaders_getRawKeys, Url::is_absolute + stale doc comments) are addressed in db8e765, and I found no further problems — but at ~1560 lines deleted across 53 files spanning C++ bindings, JS builtins, the CSS printer, and several Rust util crates, this is broad enough that a maintainer should sign off.

What was reviewed:

• Spot-checked removed extern "C" symbols, http.ts symbol exports, setBigUint64, and FdOptional — no remaining references in src/.
• CSS analyze_dependencies/pseudo_classes chain removal: the surviving to_css bodies in url.rs/image.rs/import.rs/custom.rs match the pre-PR default-option (no-dependencies) path.
• The $fulfillModuleSync builtin removal is consistent across BunBuiltinNames.h, builtins.d.ts, ZigGlobalObject.cpp, and CommonJS.ts.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR deletes ~1560 lines of provably-dead code across 53 files: unused extern "C" bindings and orphan headers in src/jsc/bindings/, a commented-out legacy block and unreferenced symbol exports in src/js/, the never-exercised analyze_dependencies/pseudo_classes option chains in src/css/, unused pub items in bun_collections/bun_core, and ~22 unused Cargo dependency entries. It also adds a source-lint test guarding against reintroduction.

Security risks

None identified. All changes are deletions of unreachable code plus a read-only test; no new inputs, no behavior change on any live path.

Level of scrutiny

High, purely due to breadth. Each individual deletion is mechanical, but the correctness of the whole PR rests on the claim that every symbol was grepped against src/, vendor/, packages/, and build/debug/codegen/ with no hits. extern "C" symbols in particular can be referenced via weak-override from WebKit (the description notes Bun__analyzeTranspiledModule was caught this way and left alone) or via codegen string lookup ($newCppFunction). I spot-checked a representative sample and found no dangling references, and the PR description states bun bd and rust:check-all on all 10 targets pass, but exhaustive verification of ~30 extern symbols and ~30 JS exports is beyond what I can guarantee.

Other factors

My earlier review flagged two orphans this PR itself created (jsFetchHeaders_getRawKeys C++ body, Url::is_absolute + stale module docs); db8e765 addressed both, and the follow-up commits are cosmetic (source-lint test tweak, CI retrigger). The CSS chain removal is the least mechanical part — it collapses several if dest.dependencies.is_some() branches into their else-arm — and while the surviving code matches the pre-PR default path exactly, a maintainer familiar with the lightningcss port should confirm the option chain was genuinely never intended to be wired up.

too many conflicts

[robobun]

Rebasing onto main now.

[robobun]

CI status: the diff itself is green. The only non-retry failure across the last two builds is a worker terminate SIGABRT (ExceptionScope assertion) on the linux x64-asan lane, in two different worker MessagePort-transfer-terminate stress tests. That code path is untouched by this PR (dead-symbol and comment removals), and both tests pass repeatedly under a local ASAN debug build of this branch (9/9 and 5/5 runs); the race has been reported for triage on main. Remaining failures passed on retry. Ready for review.

[claude]

No issues found in this pass; all 18 prior inline findings have been addressed. Deferring to a human because of scope: 66 files across C++ JSC bindings, the CSS printer's public option surface (PrinterOptions loses fields and its 'a lifetime), node:http internals, and the Bun.serve set_idle_timeout chain — worth a maintainer confirming the pruned CSS option surface and setServerIdleTimeout are intentionally dropped rather than reserved.

What was reviewed:

• Each removed extern "C" symbol and JS builtin export traced for remaining callers (none); weak-override risk checked (Bun__analyzeTranspiledModule correctly kept).
• is_custom_property parameter cascade after the analyze_dependencies removal — now fully dropped from all 5 signatures and external call sites.
• css_modules::hash visibility + comment: still has in-crate callers (css_modules.rs:33,148) and the bun_bundler layering note, so pub(crate) is correct.
• Cascade-orphaned #includes (JSCookie.h, sys/socket.h, libusockets.h) and hive get()→claim() comment sites — all cleaned up in the latest commits.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR deletes ~1170 net lines of dead code across 66 files: unreferenced extern "C" functions and headers in src/jsc/bindings/, unused Symbol/function exports in src/js/internal/http.ts and src/js/builtins/, provably-unreachable PrinterOptions option chains (analyze_dependencies, pseudo_classes, project_root) in src/css/, unused Rust items (FdOptional, three env-var declarations), and 21 unused Cargo dependencies. It has been through many prior review rounds — every one of the 18 inline findings I raised (cascade-orphaned includes, stale comments, missed sibling dead symbols, the is_custom_property parameter chain, project_root, hive get() comment references) was addressed in follow-up commits, most recently 0506a51.

Security risks

None identified. The changes are pure deletions of code with no callers plus comment/doc updates; no auth, crypto, input-validation, or trust-boundary code is touched. The Bun__disableSOLinger and bun_ignore_sigpipe removals were verified to have zero callers so no socket-lifecycle behavior changes.

Level of scrutiny

Medium-high. Individually each deletion is low-risk (compile + rust:check-all on 10 targets proves the symbols were unreferenced), but the aggregate scope is large and reaches into critical subsystems: JSC bindings, the module loader (fulfillModuleSync builtin), Bun.serve (set_idle_timeout and its full Rust→C++→JS chain), and the CSS printer's public struct signature (PrinterOptions drops its lifetime parameter, which changes the type at every external construction site in css_jsc and bundler). The CSS crate is a port of lightningcss, so removing its analyze_dependencies/pseudo_classes/project_root option surface is a design-adjacent call about whether that surface is intentionally reserved for future bundler features — a maintainer should confirm.

Other factors

• The added test/internal/source-lints/dead-symbols-35437.test.ts is the kind of test REVIEW.md's dead-code section discourages ("Do not add tests to check dead code stays dead"). I flagged this in an earlier round; the file was kept. It's a source-tree lint rather than a behavioral test, so it's harmless, but a human may want to weigh in on whether it belongs.
• CI is green per robobun (only unrelated worker-terminate ASAN flake).
• The one candidate raised and refuted this run — css_modules::hash pub(crate) visibility being dead — was correctly refuted: the function is called intra-module at lines 33 and 148 of css_modules.rs, and the layering comment about bun_bundler remains accurate.
