Summary

Three cases from the terser issue audit where the minifier wrote more than its input, plus one rewrite that was not exact:

Input (ES2020, mangled) Before After
#1179 (202 B) 262 B 228 B
#1328 (69 B) 76 B 69 B
#1217 (101 B) 105 B 101 B

Across the 12 swc benchmark bundles, gzip shrinks by 924 B in total: typescript -807 B, echarts -188 B, victory -66 B. antd grows by 187 B, because the arguments.length test is kept.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Reduced cases where minified JavaScript grows due to copied or mangled names.
    • Improved name handling during inlining to preserve correct references and avoid collisions.
    • Corrected minified output for certain function returns and calls, including functions that access arguments.
  • Tests
    • Updated minifier output expectations and added regression coverage for closures created inside loops.

…ameter

A function called in place copied each argument into a `var` unless the
parameter had the argument's own name, so `/*#__INLINE__*/` output grew
past its input (terser/terser#1179: 262 bytes from 202). The parameter
now reads the argument where nothing writes either and the function
declares no name like it. A `return` split from `a, void b` is also
dropped where only declarations follow it in the function body.
A function only returning a literal had the literal copied into every
call even where another read kept the function, so the output grew past
its input (terser/terser#1328: 76 bytes from 69). A function passed on
as a value now keeps its calls wherever the literal is longer.
…want

A destructured name the mangler would name after its key lost that
name to one counted out earlier in the same scope, so `{ a, b, c }`
printed as `{ a, b, c: n }` and terser/terser#1217 kept output longer
than its input. Counting now skips the names a scope's definitions want
spelled.
…ndex

An index at or past `arguments.length` reads `Object.prototype`, where a
getter may sit, so dropping Babel's `arguments.length > n` test before
`arguments[n]` could run it. oxc and terser both keep the test.

📝 Walkthrough

The syntax printer changes argument-related optimizations, void-return splitting, parameter aliasing, and mangled-name selection. Tests and minification tracking record related output changes. A webpack patch changeset describes the minified-output change.

Changes: Syntax printer transformations

Layer / File(s) Summary
Argument and return optimizations
lib/javascript/syntax-printer.js, test/unitCases/syntax-printer.unittest.js, test/specCases/minify-corpora.spectest.js, test/helpers/oxcSmaller.js, test/helpers/swcSmaller.js
The printer removes guarded arguments-index simplifications, changes the repeated-call size check for escaped definitions, and adjusts void-return splitting when later statements only declare names. Tests and minification tracking record related output behavior.
IIFE parameter aliasing
lib/javascript/syntax-printer.js, test/unitCases/syntax-printer.unittest.js
The printer checks declarations before aliasing differently named arguments, permits additional direct-lambda aliases, and updates reference names when rebinding variables. Tests cover inlining outputs and closures created inside loops.
Preferred names during mangling
lib/javascript/syntax-printer.js, test/unitCases/syntax-printer.unittest.js, .changeset/110-minifier-output-growth.md
The mangler skips generated names that match preferred spellings in the current counting scope. The destructuring output expectation and webpack patch changeset are updated.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 974e0

The minifier retains the argument-length guard, but the new test does not exercise the inherited-getter behavior it is meant to protect. A semantic assertion would improve regression coverage; the current evidence does not show a runtime failure.

Generated code size

Comparing base (57c5e87) to head (974e0d1). Merging this pull request changes the size of 1 asset(s) whose tests it leaves untouched.

What moved Tests Assets Gzip Raw Test edit
Changed, test untouched 1 1 🟢 ↓ -1 B 🔴 ↑ +16 B —
Changed, test edited 0 0 — — —
New 0 0 — — —
Deleted 0 0 — — —
Unchanged — 8842 — — —

Read Changed, test untouched first: the test is byte-identical on both sides, so webpack generated the difference. Changed, test edited moved partly because the test did — Test edit is how many bytes the test gained, and a bundle that grew by less is not a regression. New and Deleted are whole files, not deltas — a new asset was created, not grown, so it reads gray (⚪ added) — and adding tests cannot bury a real change. Gzip decides, because that is what users download; raw is the tiebreak, and brotli and zstd are per asset below.

1 asset(s) changed size, test untouched
Asset Before After Change Gzip (9) Brotli (11) Zstd (19)
🟢 ↓ optimization/minify-kept-inferred-names 1/bundle1.js 1015 B 1.01 KiB +16 B (+1.58%) -1 B (-0.39%) -1 B (-0.48%) -3 B (-1.23%)

No runtime gained or lost a runtime module.

Built test/configCases with the defaults a user gets: 2243 test(s), 8843 asset(s), 100 emitted nothing.

A parameter read as its argument skipped the list of names the loop
check walks, so a closure made in a loop could have read a later
iteration's value. It now joins that list like every other parameter.

Merging this PR will regress 1 benchmark

⚠️ 108 benchmarks spent significant time in system calls

System calls cannot be consistently instrumented, so they are not included in the measure, which understates the real cost. Please switch to the Walltime instrument to accurately measure system calls.

Measurement and system calls

ℹ️ 26 benchmarks have no flame graph

The flamegraph could not be generated because too much time was spent in runtime internals, making the visualization not useful for performance analysis.

⚠️ Different runtime environments detected

Some benchmarks with significant performance changes were compared across different runtime environments,
which may affect the accuracy of the results.

8518-8531: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a semantic getter assertion to this regression test.

The loop only calls minify and checks whether the generated source contains arguments.length>. It does not install an inherited numeric getter or execute the generated function. A regression that evaluates arguments[1] before the length check can still pass if the output retains arguments.length> elsewhere.

Suggested fix

Extend the regression test identified by “should keep `arguments.length` tested”
beyond checking generated text: add a case that installs an inherited numeric
getter, minifies and executes a function whose length guard must prevent
accessing that getter, and asserts the generated program matches the original
program’s behavior. Use the existing `runProgram` helper and preserve the
