feat(javascript): run a statement-level IIFE's body in place - #22393
Conversation
Add an `improve` phase, switchable like `correct`, which after compressing writes a statement calling a function in place, with nothing passed, as its body: spliced into the list, or a block when it declares something scoped. The corpora suite accepts a difference only where switching both phases off gives terser's bytes back, and fails where `improve` writes more.
terser joins adjacent statements into one sequence first, so split it at each call run in place. A body kept in a block is written as one block.

Skip calls marked /*@__NOINLINE__*/
calledInPlace never reads the call's annotations. The improve phase therefore writes the body of a /*@__NOINLINE__*/(() => { … })() call in place. Terser's own inline_into_call refuses to do this: it checks hasAnnotation(self, _PURE | _NOINLINE) before it flattens a call.
- Trigger: a statement-level IIFE with
@__NOINLINE__, no arguments, and a body that passesrunsAsBlock. Terser leaves it as a call. - Result: the user's explicit opt-out is ignored. For example, a function boundary kept for performance or for stack traces disappears under
experiments.futureDefaults.
The fix is one more check on the call node:
Proposed fix
if (
!(call instanceof A.AST_Call) ||
call instanceof A.AST_New ||
call.optional ||
- call.args.length > 0
+ call.args.length > 0 ||
+ (call._annotations & A._NOINLINE) !== 0
) {
return undefined;
}A unit case for this belongs in test/unitCases/syntax-printer.unittest.js, next to the cases that must stay as terser writes them.

Preserve await and yield identifier context before moving an IIFE body.
With compress: { inline: true }, runsAsBlock accepts a sloppy ordinary IIFE containing await or yield references. runInPlace then moves the body into the enclosing function.
For example:
globalThis.yield = 7;
function* outer() {
!function () {
throw yield;
}();
}
outer().next();The original IIFE throws 7. After insertion into outer, yield becomes a yield expression. The first next() yields instead of throwing. An await reference can similarly produce invalid syntax inside an async function.
Reject these context-sensitive references before moving the body.

The improve phase now notes during compression whether any statement calls a function in place, and walks the finished tree read-only only then, instead of rebuilding every statement list on each compress. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01ViD41i2KdwwGxrDk7yrjeD
The improve phase moved a function's body into its caller even when the call was marked @__NOINLINE__, which terser honors, or when the body named yield or await, which a generator or async caller reads as its own. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01ViD41i2KdwwGxrDk7yrjeD
Adds oxc's minifier tests as a corpus, read from the inputs its Rust tests pass (TypeScript left out), held to terser's bytes like the others. Under the default minimizer's options every source but test262's is also minified by oxc-minify, in a child process since an oxc panic aborts it: webpack's output may be no bigger than oxc's unless OXC_SMALLER says why, and an oxc output that misprints is no lead.

Summary
First step on the gaps #22389 lists against swc: the biggest group there is inlining functions. terser inlines an IIFE only when its body folds to one expression, so a statement like
!function(){try{…}catch(e){}start()}()keeps its wrapper.This adds an
improvephase to webpack's printer, switchable likecorrect. After compressing, a call in place in a statement (alone, or inside the sequence terser joins statements into) whose value is dropped and which passes nothing has its body run in place: spliced into the list, or kept in one block when it declares alet,constor class. It runs only where the body provably behaves the same there: novar, function declaration,return, label, directive, parameter, name,async/generator,eval/with, and, for afunction, nothis,arguments,new.targetorsuper. It runs after compressing so terser first inlines what it would from inside the function, and never underexpression.passes: 2, mangled)(()=>{class t{…}class c{…}sideEffectWith(t)})(),function(){try{init()}catch(t){report(t)}start()}();{class t{…}class c{…}sideEffectWith(t)}try{init()}catch(t){report(t)}start();Over the terser and swc corpora, 291 outputs change, all smaller: 4,432 bytes raw and 2,882 gzip less (43 outputs under the default minimizer's options, 375 gzip). One large bundle is 31 bytes smaller but 1 byte bigger gzipped; it is listed with that reason.
The corpora suite now accepts a byte difference only where switching both
correctandimproveoff gives terser's bytes back, and fails whereimprovewrites more than without it (gzip decides). Every output whose test states what it prints still prints it. Intest/helpers/swcSmaller.js, the 5 cases now no bigger than swc's output are retired, and 31 inline cases whose terser options leave inlining off move to the options group: 768 cases remain.What kind of change does this PR introduce?
feat
Did you add tests for your changes?
Yes.
test/unitCases/syntax-printer.unittest.jsadds 13 cases that must print the same, be shorter, and give terser's bytes back with the phase off, and 21 that must stay exactly as terser writes them (one per guard, plusinline: falseandexpression); theexpressiontest fails without its guard.test/specCases/minify-corpora.spectest.jschecks every corpus output as above; it passes, 232 tests in about 375 s against 340 s on main, as each output differing from terser is minified once more without the phase.Does this PR introduce a breaking change?
No. Only webpack's printer, used under
experiments.futureDefaults, writes less; terser as published is unchanged.If relevant, what needs to be documented once your changes are merged or what have you already documented?
docs/syntax.mddescribes theimprovephase and how the suite holds it.Use of AI
AI wrote the phase, the tests and the suite changes, grouped the swc gaps to pick this transform, and measured the corpus savings. The guards were checked one by one with unit cases, and the size check caught two earlier versions that wrote more (unwrapping before terser's own passes, and a doubled block).
