Summary

Follow-up to #22719, which did the same for the parser: precise types in lib/javascript/syntax-printer.js, so the coming rewrite has the type checker to catch mistakes.

EXPECTED_ANY in syntax-printer.js
before 434
after 78

What's left: 39 values terser's evaluate computes or reads off built-ins (can be anything), 28 in public typedefs kept as on main, 11 caller option bags passed through.

New types (nodes, walkers, compressor, output stream, ESTree conversion, source maps, the minify driver) are @internal, so types.d.ts is unchanged. Runtime is unchanged: only JSDoc and casts; ~25 single-statement bodies gained braces where a cast wrapped the line. Casts through unknown (64 vs 56 on main) are left for a separate pass across lib/.

What kind of change does this PR introduce?

refactor

Did you add tests for your changes?

No, types only; existing printer, minifier and scope-analyzer tests pass, and lint:types checks the new types.

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

No; types.d.ts is identical to main.

If relevant, what needs to be documented once your changes are merged or what have you already documented?

n/a

Use of AI

Claude Code wrote the types and ran lint and tests; I directed the approach (ESTree-aligned, internal-only types) and reviewed the result.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Refactor
    • Updated internal type annotations to better reflect the syntax-tree shapes used in scope analysis and tests. Runtime behavior is unchanged.

…mpressor

Replace EXPECTED_ANY in lib/javascript/syntax-printer.js (434 -> 78) with
precise types: terser's node fields, walkers, compressor, output stream,
ESTree conversion, source maps and the minify driver. New types are
@internal, so types.d.ts keeps main's public signatures.

📝 Walkthrough

The changes update type annotations in the JavaScript scope analyzer and syntax-printer tests. The edits do not change runtime behavior.

Changes: JavaScript AST Type Annotations

Layer / File(s) Summary
Align AST and scope annotations
lib/javascript/ScopeAnalyzer.js, test/helpers/terserSources.js, test/unitCases/syntax-printer.unittest.js
The scope analyzer uses updated token, scope, and print-node types. Test annotations use NodeShape.

Suggested labels: area: parser, area: types

Suggested reviewers: aryanraj45

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Change: Refactor

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ff78c

The native-builtins test mis-types a raw dot-node property before converting it. Correcting this test-only annotation improves type accuracy without affecting runtime output.

Generated code size

Comparing base (a4b0878) to head (ff78c21). Merging this pull request will not change the code webpack generates.

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.

No asset changed size.

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.

Merging this PR will not alter performance

⚠️ 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 28 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.

Footnotes

  1. 6 benchmarks were skipped, so the baseline results were used instead. If they were deleted from the codebase, click here and archive them to remove them from the performance reports. ↩

  2. No successful run was found on main (a4b0878) during the generation of this report, so 4d15e69 was used instead as the comparison base. There might be some changes unrelated to this pull request in this report. ↩
