Fixes ENG-21287
Build times, from `bun run build && echo '//' >> src/main.zig && time
bun run build`
|Platform|0.14.1|0.15.2|Speedup|
|-|-|-|-|
|macos debug asan|126.90s|106.27s|1.19x|
|macos debug noasan|60.62s|50.85s|1.19x|
|linux debug asan|292.77s|241.45s|1.21x|
|linux debug noasan|146.58s|130.94s|1.12x|
|linux debug use_llvm=false|n/a|78.27s|1.87x|
|windows debug asan|177.13s|142.55s|1.24x|
Runtime performance:
- next build memory usage may have gone up by 5%. Otherwise seems the
same. Some code with writers may have gotten slower, especially one
instance of a counting writer and a few instances of unbuffered writers
that now have vtable overhead.
- File size reduced by 800kb (from 100.2mb to 99.4mb)
Improvements:
- `@export` hack is no longer needed for watch
- native x86_64 backend for linux builds faster. to use it, set use_llvm
false and no_link_obj false. also set `ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=0`
otherwise it will spam the output with tens of thousands of lines of
debug info errors. may need to use the zig lldb fork for debugging.
- zig test-obj, which we will be able to use for zig unit tests
Still an issue:
- false 'dependency loop' errors remain in watch mode
- watch mode crashes observed
Follow-up:
- [ ] search `comptime Writer: type` and `comptime W: type` and remove
- [ ] remove format_mode in our zig fork
- [ ] remove deprecated.zig autoFormatLabelFallback
- [ ] remove deprecated.zig autoFormatLabel
- [ ] remove deprecated.BufferedWriter and BufferedReader
- [ ] remove override_no_export_cpp_apis as it is no longer needed
- [ ] css Parser(W) -> Parser, and remove all the comptime writer: type
params
- [ ] remove deprecated writer fully

LLDB Pretty Printers for Bun
This directory contains LLDB pretty printers for various Bun data structures to improve the debugging experience.
Files
bun_pretty_printer.py- Pretty printers for Bun-specific types (bun.String, WTFStringImpl, ZigString, BabyList, etc.)lldb_pretty_printers.py- Pretty printers for Zig language types from the Zig projectlldb_webkit.py- Pretty printers for WebKit/JavaScriptCore typesinit.lldb- LLDB initialization commands
Supported Types
bun.String Types
bun.String(or justString) - The main Bun string typeWTFStringImpl- WebKit string implementation (Latin1/UTF16)ZigString- Zig string type (UTF8/Latin1/UTF16 with pointer tagging)
Display Format
The pretty printers show string content directly, with additional metadata:
# bun.String examples:
"Hello, World!" [latin1] # Regular ZigString
"UTF-8 String 🎉" [utf8] # UTF-8 encoded
"Static content" [latin1 static] # Static string
"" # Empty string
<dead> # Dead/invalid string
# WTFStringImpl examples:
"WebKit String" # Shows the actual string content
# ZigString examples:
"Some text" [utf16 global] # UTF16 globally allocated
"ASCII text" [latin1] # Latin1 encoded
Usage
Option 1: Manual Loading
In your LLDB session:
command script import /path/to/bun/misctools/lldb/bun_pretty_printer.py
Option 2: Add to ~/.lldbinit
Add the following line to your ~/.lldbinit file to load automatically:
command script import /path/to/bun/misctools/lldb/bun_pretty_printer.py
Option 3: Use init.lldb
command source /path/to/bun/misctools/lldb/init.lldb
Testing
To test the pretty printers:
- Build a debug version of Bun:
bun bd
-
Create a test file that uses bun.String types
-
Debug with LLDB:
lldb ./build/debug/bun-debug
(lldb) command script import misctools/lldb/bun_pretty_printer.py
(lldb) breakpoint set --file your_test.zig --line <line_number>
(lldb) run your_test.zig
(lldb) frame variable
Implementation Details
ZigString Pointer Tagging
ZigString uses pointer tagging in the upper bits:
- Bit 63: 1 = UTF16, 0 = UTF8/Latin1
- Bit 62: 1 = Globally allocated (mimalloc)
- Bit 61: 1 = UTF8 encoding
The pretty printer automatically detects and handles these tags.
WTFStringImpl Encoding
WTFStringImpl uses flags in m_hashAndFlags:
- Bit 2 (s_hashFlag8BitBuffer): 1 = Latin1, 0 = UTF16
bun.String Tag Union
bun.String is a tagged union with these variants:
- Dead (0): Invalid/freed string
- WTFStringImpl (1): WebKit string
- ZigString (2): Regular Zig string
- StaticZigString (3): Static/immortal string
- Empty (4): Empty string ""
Troubleshooting
If the pretty printers don't work:
- Verify the Python script loaded:
(lldb) script print("Python works")
- Check if the category is enabled:
(lldb) type category list
- Enable the Bun category manually:
(lldb) type category enable bun
- For debugging the pretty printer itself, check for exceptions:
- The pretty printers catch all exceptions and return
<error> - Modify the code to print exceptions for debugging
