fix(hir): let a declarator's own initializer forward-capture its binding#9720proggeramlug wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
A closure created inside a `let`/`const` declarator's initializer that
references the binding that declarator introduces threw
`ReferenceError: <name> is not defined`. Node only has a TDZ window here,
and the closure body does not run until after initialization, so shapes
like `const off = ev.on(() => off())` and
`const { unmount } = await render({ onDone: () => unmount() })` are legal.
`pre_register_forward_captured_lets` recorded a declarator's initializer
into `seen_closure_refs` only after deciding whether that declarator's own
bindings were forward-captured. That ordering serves the later-declarator
case and nothing else, so the self-referential shape was never
pre-registered and the reference fell through to
`js_global_get_or_throw_unresolved`. Recording before the decision is a
strict superset — later declarators still see the same refs.
Reachable from every declarator form: the destructuring path has no
pre-registration of its own, and `ast_expr_contains_function_expr` (which
guards the simple-binding path) does not descend through `await`.
Found in claude-code's `install` subcommand, which is exactly this shape;
the uncaught ReferenceError there dropped the trailing newline and the
exit code (`B60_install_badtarget`, PerryTS#9575).
Closes PerryTS#9718
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe forward-capture pass now detects closure references in a declarator’s own initializer before binding registration. A regression test covers plain, destructured, nested, awaited, synchronous, recursive, and multi-declarator cases. ChangesInitializer self-binding

The reordered initializer scan is a superset, not a replacement: a self-recursive arrow, a named function expression, and a binding whose initializer both creates a closure over it and is called immediately all passed before this change and must keep passing. Verified identical on both arms of the same-commit A/B.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Add a regression case for the pre-initialization TDZ.
The current helpers enqueue callbacks and execute them only after the declaration completes. Therefore, this fixture does not verify that a callback executed during its initializer reads the binding as TDZ and throws ReferenceError. Add a synchronous callback invocation inside an initializer, while keeping the existing deferred cases.

A closure created inside a
let/constdeclarator's initializer that references the binding that declarator introduces threwReferenceError: <name> is not defined. The closure body does not run until after initialization, so node resolves it normally — only the TDZ window is off limits.Root cause
pre_register_forward_captured_lets(lower_decl/block.rs) decides whether alet/constbinding needs a boxed, TDZ-seeded forward declaration by asking whether any closure seen so far references its name. It folded a declarator's own initializer into that set after making the decision for that declarator's bindings — which is exactly what the later-declarator case needs (let z = (w) => { … O … }, O = setTimeout(z, K), the minifiednew Promiseexecutor shape) and nothing more. The self-referential shape was therefore never pre-registered, and the reference fell through tojs_global_get_or_throw_unresolved.The fix moves that one
cic_expr(init, …)call ahead of the binding decision. It is a strict superset of the old placement: later declarators of the same declaration still see the same refs, so the intra-declaration case is untouched (and the fixture pins it).Why it reached every declarator form: the pre-pass is what the destructuring path depends on.
destructuring/var_decl.rshas its ownis_function_expr_initpre-registration, but only on the simplePat::Identarm, and itsast_expr_contains_function_exprscan does not descend throughawait. So a plain binding behind anawait, and every object / array / nested /{ key }-shorthand pattern, all fell through; only a closure created after the declaration worked.How it was found
claude-code's
installsubcommand is exactly this shape:onDonefires after the render resolves and throws, uncaught, mid-teardown — which drops the trailing newline and the exit code. That is theB60_install_badtargetdivergence carried in #9575 (node exits 1, perry exits 0 with one byte less stdout), so it was never aninstall-path bug and #9487 did not miss a hunk.Validation

const off = ev.on(() => off())(#593), and a multi-declarator statement whose earlier declarator references a later one. Those pass on both arms, so the reorder is additive.Unit tests on the patched tree, all green:

A pre-existing, unrelated defect turned up in the same probe and is filed as #9721: a forward-captured
constcan stay TDZ-poisoned after initialization (ReferenceError: Cannot access undefined before initialization— note it namesundefined, not the binding). It reproduces identically on both arms of the A/B above, so this PR neither causes nor fixes it.Summary by CodeRabbit
