fix(typescript): allocate collision-safe binders for generic type parameters#4445addiplus wants to merge 3 commits into
Conversation
`sdkgen_typescript_shared` wrote class, enum and type-alias names raw, so a
BAML `enum import` emitted `export enum import {` and the whole generated
file failed to parse (TS1359). `is_js_reserved` and `JS_RESERVED` already
existed but were applied only to parameters, free functions and
child-namespace re-exports.
Add `safe_decl_name` beside `safe_param_name` and apply it at the two places
that name a binding: `emit::build_emitted`, where an IR name becomes an
emitted symbol, and `translate_ty::render_name_ref`, which re-derives every
cross-reference from the IR rather than reading the declaration back.
Escaping one side alone would turn a parse error into a dangling reference.
Type parameters take the same escape in `generic_decl`.
Escaping at `build_emitted` also covers `_typemap.ts`, which indexes the
module namespace through a `Record<string, unknown>` cast and so would have
resolved to `undefined` at runtime with no compile-time signal.
Only the TypeScript identifier moves. Wire identity is unchanged: dispatch
still uses `baml_fqn`, the type map is still keyed on the raw BAML FQN, and
enum member values, marshalling parameter names and the `$generic` /
`typeParams` arrays all keep their source spelling.
…ameters
The TypeScript generator wrote a type-parameter list by joining the raw BAML
names, so a reserved word in that list was a parse error that took the whole
generated file with it rather than just the one symbol. A BAML class
`Pair<package, package_>` renders as `export class Pair<package, package_> {`,
which tsc rejects with TS1213.
Escaping each name in isolation does not fix it. Appending an underscore to a
reserved word makes `package` and a sibling `package_` both render as
`package_`, and the file fails with TS2300 instead. Either way the generated
file does not compile.
This mirrors the Python SDK's TypeVar allocator into the TypeScript generator,
narrowed to TypeScript's scoping rules. `allocate_binders` allocates the emitted
identifier for every type parameter of one generic scope against a reservation
set and returns the scope's full raw-to-emitted map. A Python TypeVar is a
module-level assignment, so the Python allocator reserves leaf-globally; a
TypeScript type parameter is scoped to its own declaration, so the allocation
unit here is the scope, not the leaf. `TranslateCtx` carries the active scope's
map and `Ty::TypeVar` resolves every use site through it, so a reference lands on
exactly the identifier its declaration allocated instead of re-deriving a
colliding escape.
The map is keyed by the RAW name, so a `{package, package_}` twin can never
collapse onto one identifier. A non-reserved raw name maps to itself,
unconditionally: the reservation set is only ever consulted for a name that is a
JavaScript reserved word, and bumping only appends an underscore. Every
keyword-free schema therefore renders byte-identically to today's output. Wire
identity is untouched, because the raw spellings still reach the runtime through
the `$generic` array and the `typeParams` factory argument, both string literals.
Two bounds are deliberately not reserved against, and both are stated in the
allocator's doc comment rather than papered over. The cross-leaf
`import type * as <segment>` aliases are routing-sanitized module path segments
that are not known until the leaf's bodies have been rendered, and shadowing one
inside a type-parameter list is a resolution change rather than a parse error. An
inner scope's non-reserved parameter is likewise not reserved against:
`Box<package>` allocates `package_`, and an instance method that declares a
parameter literally named `package_` re-binds that identifier for the whole
method. Shadowing a type parameter is legal TypeScript and compiles clean.
Widening the bump to cover either case would destroy the unconditional
non-reserved-maps-to-itself guarantee that keeps keyword-free output
byte-identical.

arguments and eval declaration names
When a BAML class, enum, or type alias is named arguments or eval, this reuses the stricter parameter/const predicate and renames a declaration that TypeScript accepts as written (for example, export class arguments {} and export type eval = string both compile). This breaks the previously valid exported API, and a leaf also containing the underscore-suffixed twin now emits duplicate declarations such as two arguments_ bindings. Use a declaration-specific reserved-word predicate rather than is_js_reserved here.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

I looked into this and the result was interesting..
tsc does accept export class arguments {} with --strict and reports no error. But
the JavaScript it emits is export class arguments {} verbatim, and that is a hard
SyntaxError in a real engine: node --check gives Unexpected eval or arguments in strict mode.
Same for enums. export enum eval lowers to export var eval; and
node rejects that too. So tsc's silence here is a checker gap, not permission. If I
drop the escape for these two names, a schema with a class or enum named arguments
ships a module that cannot be loaded.
safe_decl_name is applied at three sites: class name, enum name, type alias name.
Two of the three genuinely need the escape.
You are right about the third. A type alias is erased at emit, export type eval = string
emits export {}, and that is fine unescaped. So the rename is unnecessary
for aliases. I am leaving it in place because the escape has to stay reproducible
from the bare Name alone: translate_ty::render_name_ref re-derives the reference
from the IR at every cross reference rather than reading the emitted declaration
back, and a kind-dependent predicate would need the symbol kind at the reference
site. That seemed a worse trade than one cosmetic rename in a schema that names a
type alias eval.
On the twin case, you are right that a leaf holding both arguments and
arguments_ collapses onto one identifier. That is true of every reserved word, not
just these two, and it is not a regression: at base that same leaf emitted export class import {}
style output, which is TS1005/TS1109 and already killed the file. The file
fails either way in that case, and every non-twin case goes from broken to working.
I have now stated that bound explicitly in the doc comment on safe_decl_name, in
the follow-up commit on this branch.

`render_method_binding_ts` allocates a method's binders through one of two
arms: an instance method passes the class map as the enclosing scope, and a
static method passes no enclosing scope because it re-declares the class
parameters as its own (TS2302) in the flattened list `method_sig_generics`
builds. Neither arm had a test. Every existing binder test calls
`allocate_binders` with no enclosing scope, and the one end-to-end generic
class test builds a class with empty `static_methods` and `instance_methods`,
so the outer-scope reservation loop in `allocate_binders` was never reached
from a test at all.
`instance_method_binder_bumps_past_the_outer_class_scope` allocates a method
scope that re-declares `package` on top of a class map that already binds the
`{package, package_}` twin. The method binder has to clear the enclosing
scope's raw names and the binders already allocated for them, so it lands on
`package___`. Landing on `package_` instead would silently retarget every
class-level reference that resolves through that binder, which is a wrong-type
error rather than a parse error, so the compiler would not catch it.
`static_method_scope_allocates_the_flattened_list_with_no_outer` runs a
`MethodKind::Static` binding through `method_sig_generics` on a generic class,
checks that the flattened list allocates three distinct binders with no
enclosing scope, and checks that re-declaring the class parameters reproduces
the class binders exactly. It then allocates the same list WITH the class map
as an enclosing scope as a control, which bumps `package` one further and shows
what the static arm avoids by passing none.
Disabling the outer-scope reservation loop fails both new tests and no
existing one.
Also states one bound on `safe_decl_name` in its doc comment: a leaf declaring
both a reserved word and its underscore-suffixed twin collapses them onto one
identifier. That is not a regression, since at base the same leaf emitted
`export class import {}` and TS1359 already killed the whole generated file.

Fair close given what you could see, and the missing data is on me. When I opened It is verified work: I measured the twin case on canary before opening (it fails there Happy to go either way: reopen this as the separate scoped PR, or I fold it into |
3 participants
The TypeScript generator writes a class or function type-parameter list by joining the raw BAML
names. A reserved word in that list is a parse error, and the parse error takes the whole
generated file with it rather than just the one symbol. A BAML class
Pair<package, package_>renders as
export class Pair<package, package_> {, whichtscrejects with TS1213.Escaping each name in isolation does not fix it. The obvious escape appends an underscore to a
reserved word, so
packageand a siblingpackage_both render aspackage_, and the filefails with TS2300 instead. The twin is not exotic: any schema that declares both a keyword-named
type parameter and its underscore-suffixed neighbour hits it, and either way the generated file
does not compile.
I measured all three renderings rather than reasoning about them, and I generated them rather
than writing them by hand. Each file below is the generator's own
index.tsoutput for the sameclass, produced by changing only the generator between runs. I compiled each with TypeScript
5.9.3, the version this repository's Node SDK-test fixtures pin, using
--noEmit --target es2022 --module nodenext --moduleResolution nodenext, once with--strictand once with
--strict false, matching thetsc_nodecell's tsconfig. Each exit code waswritten to its own file and read back from that file:
Pair<package, package_>TS1213: Identifier expected. 'package' is a reserved word in strict mode.Pair<package_, package_>TS2300: Duplicate identifier 'package_'.Pair<package__, package_>The first row is today's canary. The third is this PR.
What this changes
I mirrored the Python SDK's TypeVar allocator into the TypeScript generator, narrowed to
TypeScript's scoping rules.
allocate_bindersallocates the emitted identifier for every type parameter of one genericscope against a reservation set, and returns the scope's full raw-to-emitted map. The Python
allocator reserves leaf-globally because a Python
TypeVaris a module-level assignment, sotwo scopes really do share one binding. A TypeScript type parameter is scoped to its own
declaration, so the allocation unit here is the scope, not the leaf. The collision-resolution
rule is otherwise identical.
{package, package_}twin can never collapse onto oneidentifier.
TranslateCtxcarries the active scope's map, andTy::TypeVarresolves every use sitethrough it, so a reference lands on exactly the identifier its declaration allocated instead of
re-deriving a colliding escape.
allocated binders, and the leaf's module-scope declaration and immediate child-namespace names.
The guarantee I care most about: a non-reserved raw name maps to itself, unconditionally. The
reservation set is only ever consulted for a name that is a JavaScript reserved word, and bumping
only appends an underscore. Every keyword-free schema therefore renders byte-identically to
today's output.
I checked that rather than asserting it. I regenerated the full generated TypeScript SDK corpus
at three source states, canary, this branch's first commit alone, and this branch's head, and
compared a sorted SHA-256 manifest of all 405 generated files. The manifest hash is identical at
all three states, so this branch moves zero bytes of generated output against canary. The honest
qualification is that no fixture in that corpus declares a reserved word as a declaration name or
a type parameter, so the corpus proves no regression rather than proving the fix; the fix is
carried by the unit tests and by the compile table above.
Only the TypeScript identifier moves. Wire identity is untouched: the raw spellings still reach
the runtime through the
$genericarray and thetypeParamsfactory argument, both stringliterals, and there is a test asserting that. In the generated file above,
$genericreads["package", "package_"]in all three renderings.Deliberately not covered, stated rather than papered over
import type * as <segment>aliases are not reserved against. They arerouting-sanitized module path segments, they are not known until the leaf's bodies have been
rendered, and shadowing one inside a type-parameter list is a resolution change rather than a
parse error.
Box<package>allocates
package_, and an instance method that declares a parameter literally namedpackage_re-binds that identifier for the method. I checked this one withtsctoo, on thesame toolchain and with the exit code read back from a file: it compiles clean under both strict
and non-strict, because shadowing a type parameter is legal TypeScript. Widening the bump to
cover it would destroy the unconditional non-reserved-maps-to-itself guarantee above, which is
what keeps keyword-free output byte-identical, so I left it as a stated bound instead. Both
bounds are written into the allocator's doc comment, not just into this description.
an underscore to a reserved word, so an allocated binder is never underscore-leading and never
equals one of them.
Relationship to #4070
#4070 escapes reserved words in generated Python, TypeScript and C++ declaration names. Its body
names this exact change under "Not covered here (follow-ups)", including the remedy: mirror the
Python allocator into
generic_declplus a{package, package_}test. CodeRabbit's Out of ScopeChanges check on that PR asked for the same split, and I am quoting its resolution in full rather
than paraphrasing it:
This is the TypeScript half of that split, and it is the follow-up #4070's body promised.
This PR subsumes #4070's TypeScript commit rather than depending on it. On canary
generic_declis a raw join, so there is no escape here to build on. The first commit of thisbranch is #4070's TypeScript commit, carried over verbatim with its original message and author,
and the second adds the allocator on top. The result is self-contained against canary and needs
#4070 merged first for nothing.
Merge-order note
Worth saying plainly, because it is the one thing about this PR that could surprise someone
during a merge: this branch carries #4070's TypeScript commit as its own first commit, and #4070
still carries that commit too, so whichever of the two lands second needs one small hand.
If this lands first, #4070's TypeScript commit becomes redundant on its side and I will drop it
there. If #4070 lands first, I will rebase this branch onto the new canary with the first commit
dropped, leaving only the allocator commit. Neither is difficult and both are mine to do. Either
order works, and I will handle whichever one you pick.
Tests
Nine tests, all in the generator crate, no fixture changes. The full crate suite is 56 passing:

generic_decl_escapes_reserved_type_parametersandnon_reserved_binders_are_never_bumpedmustkeep passing even with the allocator neutered.
I checked that the new tests actually fail when the code they cover is removed, by neutering the
change in two places and re-running the suite each time. Neutering the allocator's bump loop
takes the suite to 52 passed and 4 failed, and the four are exactly the collision tests:
reserved_and_underscore_twin_get_distinct_binders,twin_binders_are_distinct_in_either_declaration_order,binder_does_not_shadow_a_module_scope_declarationandgeneric_class_with_reserved_twin_renders_distinct_binders. Neutering the use-site resolutioninstead, so
Ty::TypeVarfalls back to the stateless escape, takes it to 55 passed and 1 failed,and the one is the end-to-end render test; the other three assert on the allocator's returned map
and are insensitive to the use site by construction. Both canaries stayed green under both
neuterings, which is what they are there for.
