Problem

  • A class member or object literal member whose key is a bigint literal fails to parse when a modifier precedes the key:
    class A { static 2n = "s"; get 4n() { return "g" } }   // error: Expected ";" but found "2n"
    ({ get 1n() { return 1 } })                             // error: Expected "}" but found "1n"
    node runs both. class A { 2n = 1; 4n() {} } (no modifier) already works in bun.
  • With a newline between the modifier and the key the code is accepted but means something else: static\n 2n = 1 becomes a field named static plus an instance field 2n, get\n 4n() {} becomes a field named get plus a plain method. node (and bun with a numeric key, static\n 2 = 1) produce a static field and a getter.
  • The same key is also rejected in TypeScript type positions, so in a .ts file a class can declare 9n() {} but the interface it implements cannot declare 9n(): void:
    interface I { 1n(): void }                  // error: Unexpected 1n
    let x: { 1n: string }                       // error: Unexpected 1n
    let f: ({ 1n: a }: T) => void               // error: Unexpected 1n
    tsc parses all of these (the first has no diagnostics at all; property signatures such as 1n: string get a type-checker diagnostic, TS1539, but still parse and emit), and bun accepts each of them with a numeric key.
  • Cause: three token lists that answer "can this token be a property name?" list numeric and string literals but not bigint literals. Every parser that actually consumes a key (parse_property's key match, parse_property_binding) already handles bigint; only these lookahead and skip lists were missed. The lists are inherited from esbuild, which has the same omission.
    • src/js_parser/parse/parse_property.rs:348: after reading an identifier, parse_property only treats it as a modifier if the next token can start a property name. This is why static/get/set/async/accessor and the TypeScript member modifiers are taken as the member name when a bigint key follows.
    • src/js_parser/parse/parse_skip_typescript.rs:1036: the loop in skip_type_script_object_type that consumes modifiers and the member name of an interface or type literal member.
    • src/js_parser/parse/parse_skip_typescript.rs:119: the member-key arm of skip_type_script_binding, used for destructured parameters inside function types and method signatures.

Fix

  • Add T::TBigIntegerLiteral next to T::TNumericLiteral in each of the three lists. Nothing downstream changes: in parse_property every modifier arm sits behind the one lookahead, so the per-modifier rules (async and accessor must be on the same line as the key, static only applies in classes, and so on) now apply to bigint keys exactly as they do to numeric keys; in the two skippers everything after the key is driven by the same found_key / : handling the numeric path already uses.
  • Correct because a bigint literal is a NumericLiteral in the spec grammar and therefore a LiteralPropertyName, so every position that accepts 2 as a key must accept 2n. node agrees for the JS forms; tsc parses every TypeScript form, and its transpileModule output matches the new expectations (modifiers erased, key kept, types and declare/abstract members dropped).
  • The only previously accepted code that changes meaning is the newline form above (static/get/set followed by a line break and a bigint key), which now parses the way node and bun's own numeric-key handling already parse it. Everything else either errored before or is unaffected: non-modifier words (static in an object literal, static = 1n, { get: 1n }) fall through to the same path as before.
  • Verified:
    • test/bundler/transpiler/transpiler.test.js: three new tests (printed output for JS classes and object literals including the newline and non-modifier cases, printed output for the TypeScript member modifiers plus interface I { 1n(): void } implemented by a class, and a runtime check of field/getter/setter/async/static/accessor members with bigint keys), plus new rows in the existing TypeScript types test for object types, interfaces, method signatures and destructured parameters in function types, next to the existing numeric-key rows. All of these fail on bun 1.4.0 and pass with this change; the runtime expectations were produced by node 26 (node has no accessor, so those two values follow the numeric-key behaviour).
    • bun bd test on transpiler.test.js and on esbuild/ts, esbuild/default, esbuild/lower, decorators, decorator-metadata, es-decorators, es-decorators-esbuild, ts-use-define-for-class-fields, property: all green.
    • The snippet from the report prints s i g with the debug build, the same as node; bundling the runtime fixture with bun build --minify and running the output under node gives the same values as running the source under node.

Background

  • parse_property parses one class or object member. For a member that starts with an identifier it reads the word, advances, and then has to decide whether the word was the member's name (static = 1, get() {}) or a modifier of the member that follows (static x, get x() {}). It decides by looking at the next token: if that token could begin a property name, the word is checked against the modifier table and, if it matches, the function restarts on the real key; otherwise the word is the key.
  • bun does not type-check TypeScript; the skip_type_script_* functions walk over type syntax just far enough to find where it ends and drop it. skip_type_script_object_type handles { ... } type literals and interface bodies; skip_type_script_binding handles the parameter patterns that can appear inside function types and method signatures (ordinary function declarations use the real binding parser, which already accepts bigint keys). Their job is to accept whatever tsc parses, so a token tsc accepts as a member name has to be in their lists too.
  • TBigIntegerLiteral is the lexer token for a bigint literal such as 2n; TNumericLiteral is the token for 2. As property names both evaluate to the string "2".

The lookahead that decides whether "static", "get", "set", "async",
"accessor" and the TypeScript member modifiers are modifiers (rather than
the member name itself) checks whether the next token can start a property
name. It listed numeric and string literals but not bigint literals, so
"static 2n = 1" was parsed as a field named "static" followed by a stray
"2n" and rejected, and "static\n2n = 1" silently became two members.

A bigint literal is a NumericLiteral and therefore a valid property name,
so add it to the lookahead. The key itself was already parsed correctly
when no modifier preceded it.

Status: ready for review. CI on the final build (f61f14c) is 178 of 179 jobs green; the one red job is unrelated to this change (details below).

Reproduced on bun 1.4.0 with class A { static 2n = "s"; get 4n() { return "g" } } (Expected ";" but found "2n"; node runs it), with the newline form static\n 2n = 1, which bun accepted but parsed as two members, and with interface I { 1n(): void } / let f: ({ 1n: a }: T) => void (Unexpected 1n; tsc parses both). With this branch all of them behave like node / tsc, and the new tests and rows in test/bundler/transpiler/transpiler.test.js fail on 1.4.0 and pass with the change.

CI: the transpiler and bundler suites pass on every lane. The single red job is Debian 13 aarch64, where test/js/bun/util/filesystem_router.test.ts ("reload() while Bun.build() resolves the same directory") segfaulted. That is the resolver directory-cache race stress test from #33056; its fixture contains no bigint literals, so none of the code changed here runs in it, and the same lane passes on main's other recent builds. It has been reported separately. An earlier build of this PR failed only because the Windows x64 build agent timed out downloading the Rust toolchain manifest.

LGTM — one-token addition to the modifier lookahead, matching the existing TBigIntegerLiteral arm in the key match above it.

What was reviewed:

  • The lookahead list at parse_property.rs:350 — TBigIntegerLiteral is already handled in the top-level key match (line 262 area) and in parse_property_binding; only this list was missing it.
  • Checked for sibling "could begin a property name" lookahead lists elsewhere in src/js_parser/ — none share this omission (the TS type-skip sites don't accept bigint keys by design).
  • Tests cover the full modifier matrix (JS + TS), newline/ASI behavior, negative cases ({ static 1n() {} }, bigint-as-value), and runtime semantics against node.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

Single-line parser fix in src/js_parser/parse/parse_property.rs: adds T::TBigIntegerLiteral to the matches! list that decides whether the token following a contextual keyword (static, get, set, async, accessor, and the TS visibility/readonly/override/declare/abstract modifiers) can begin a property name. The top-level key match in the same function already handles TBigIntegerLiteral, and parse_property_binding in mod.rs does too — this lookahead was the only place it was omitted, inherited from esbuild. Three new tests in transpiler.test.js cover printed output for JS and TS forms plus a spawned runtime check.

Security risks

None. Pure parser lookahead widening; no untrusted-length arithmetic, no allocation, no I/O. The only behavior change is that previously-rejected valid ES syntax now parses, and the newline form (static\n 2n) now matches node and bun's own numeric-key handling.

Level of scrutiny

Low-to-medium. The source change is a one-token addition to an existing matches! arm alongside TNumericLiteral, which is the exact spec analogue (bigint literals are LiteralPropertyNames). All per-modifier logic downstream is unchanged. I grepped src/js_parser/ for other TNumericLiteral lookahead lists that might share the omission — the only candidates are in parse_skip_typescript.rs (type-level object keys / enum members), where TS itself does not accept bigint literal keys, so they're not part of this class.

Other factors

Tests are thorough for a one-line fix: they exercise every modifier arm behind the changed check, the async-newline ASI exception, the "word is the key, not a modifier" fallthrough (static = 1n, { get: 1n }), the static -in-object-literal error, and a runtime fixture asserting field/getter/setter/async/generator/accessor semantics plus prototypeKeys. The runtime test uses tempDir/bunEnv/bunExe (already imported at line 2), drains stdout/stderr/exited concurrently, and asserts stderr and the parsed JSON before exitCode. PR description confirms the tests fail on 1.4.0 and that the broader parser suites still pass.

The member-name lists in skip_type_script_object_type (interface and type
literal members) and skip_type_script_binding (destructured parameters in
function types and method signatures) had the same omission as the modifier
lookahead in parse_property: numeric and string literals but not bigint
literals, so "interface I { 1n(): void }" and "({ 1n: a }: T) => void" were
rejected while tsc parses both and bun already accepts the numeric forms.

LGTM — adds T::TBigIntegerLiteral alongside T::TNumericLiteral in the three property-key lookahead lists that were missing it.

What was reviewed:

  • Verified the three touched lists are the only property-key token lists missing bigint; the actual key consumers (parse_property's top match, parse_property_binding) already handle it.
  • Checked that downstream handling in each case (modifier restart loop, found_key/colon paths in the skippers) is identical to the numeric-literal path.
  • Confirmed the newline-form behavior change (static\n 2n) now matches node and bun's own numeric-key handling; non-modifier fallbacks (static = 1n, { get: 1n }) are covered by tests and unaffected.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

Adds T::TBigIntegerLiteral next to T::TNumericLiteral in three "can this token be a property name?" lists: the could_be_modifier_keyword lookahead in parse_property (parse_property.rs:352), the object-pattern member key arm in skip_type_script_binding (parse_skip_typescript.rs:120), and the modifier/key loop in skip_type_script_object_type (parse_skip_typescript.rs:1040). Per the ES spec BigIntLiteral is a NumericLiteral and therefore a LiteralPropertyName, so every position that accepts 2 as a key must accept 2n. The actual key-consuming parsers already handle bigint keys — I verified parse_property's top-level match (line ~270) and parse_property_binding (mod.rs:1176) both have TBigIntegerLiteral arms — so no downstream changes are needed.

Tests are thorough: printed-output assertions for every JS modifier (static/get/set/async/accessor, plus generators and combinations), the TypeScript-only modifiers (public/private/protected/readonly/override/declare/abstract), new rows in the existing types test for object types, interfaces, method signatures, and destructured function-type parameters, and a runtime subprocess test that exercises field/getter/setter/async/static/accessor semantics and asserts the exact Object.getOwnPropertyNames result. Negative cases (non-modifier fallback, { static 1n() {} } error) and the newline forms are covered.

Security risks

None. Pure parser lookahead extension; no allocation, no untrusted-length arithmetic, no new code paths.

Level of scrutiny

Low-to-medium. The change is a mechanical three-line addition of one token variant to existing match lists, following exactly the pattern already used for TNumericLiteral. I grepped every TNumericLiteral occurrence in src/js_parser/parse/ to confirm no other property-key list was missed — the remaining sites are type-value positions (which already have separate bigint arms) or expression prefixes (which already list bigint). The only behavior change to previously-accepted code is the newline form static\n 2n = 1, which now parses as node does and as bun already does for numeric keys.

Other factors

The CodeRabbit stderr concern was resolved in-thread with a valid justification (bunEnv sets BUN_DEBUG_QUIET_LOGS=1; the same file already uses this pattern). No prior reviews from me on this PR. The bug-hunting system found nothing. The PR description notes esbuild has the same omission, so this is a genuine spec gap being closed rather than a port regression.
