Bun bundles use import.meta.require("./chunk.js") to load split chunks synchronously. Perry previously lowered the callee to undefined, producing TypeError: value is not a function. Both direct and computed-literal calls now use the existing synchronous module dispatcher: their bounded target sets enter the AOT graph, each target initializes once when loaded, and the call returns its namespace immediately.

Files using import.meta remain ESM even without import/export declarations. The static bare-require rewrite also excludes member calls separated by whitespace or comments, which otherwise hoisted the chunk and replaced the wrong expression. Native-module literals reuse namespace dispatch; direct runtime paths retain the existing synchronous MODULE_NOT_FOUND fallback. The separate native-addon alias discovery policy is preserved.

Validation:

  • Original reproduction: 42 42 1.
  • Five compiled executable regressions pass, including relative and Bun virtual paths after source removal, namespace identity, lazy finite choices, missing/runtime paths, local bindings, ordinary methods, and whitespace/comments.
  • Existing import.meta Node parity: 2/2 pass.
  • HIR: 384 pass, 1 ignored. Module collector: 69 pass. CommonJS preprocessing: 119 pass.
  • Codegen: 1,410 pass, 1 ignored. Quick pre-tag checks pass.
  • Native-addon alias policy regression passes. The real-addon macOS test is blocked by Invalid Mach-O symbol library ordinal in the unchanged binary inspector; a separate static-import control of the same generated addon fails identically before call lowering.
  • Canonical affected-crate runner: 1,085 compiler tests pass; only the existing PERRY_CONCAT_SITE_CACHE registry failure remains (addressed separately by fix(cache): register concat switch and explain codegen inputs #9748). The suites after that failure were checked separately where relevant.
  • Docs lint, formatting, file-size cap and test registration pass.

No version bump.

Fixes #9742.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added synchronous support for import.meta.require() and import.meta["require"]() in Bun bundles.
    • Relative and virtual chunk paths now load compiled modules immediately and initialize them only once.
    • Computed paths use bounded synchronous resolution and report MODULE_NOT_FOUND for unavailable targets.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented member-style calls and formatting variations from being misidentified as static imports.
    • Correctly handles native module imports and dynamic paths.
  • Documentation

    • Updated --bunfs-root guidance for import.meta.require() usage.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds Bun import.meta.require() lowering, synchronous compiled-module discovery, ESM classification, static-call filtering, end-to-end tests, and CLI documentation.

Changes

import.meta.require support

Layer / File(s) Summary
HIR lowering for import.meta.require
crates/perry-hir/src/lower/expr_call/...
Recognizes direct and computed import.meta.require calls, validates arguments, lowers native modules, and emits synchronous dynamic imports.
Bun classification and module discovery
crates/perry/src/commands/compile/cjs_wrap/detect.rs, crates/perry/src/commands/compile/collect_modules/import_meta_require.rs
Classifies import.meta files as ESM and preserves direct dynamic calls for synchronous module resolution.
Static require call filtering
crates/perry/src/commands/compile/collect_modules/static_require_transform.rs
Excludes member-style and comment- or whitespace-separated calls from static require transformation.
Compiled runtime behavior and documentation
crates/perry/tests/issue_9742_import_meta_require.rs, docs/src/cli/flags.md, changelog.d/9761-import-meta-require.md
Covers synchronous loading, one-time initialization, BunFS paths, computed paths, errors, and documents the new call forms.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 55bce

Some valid TypeScript-wrapped import.meta.require calls will not receive the new synchronous compiled-module behavior, and CommonJS files using a #import private member can be compiled as ESM. These compatibility regressions should be fixed before merge.

Handle all transparent TypeScript wrappers.

strip_require_wrappers omits TsSatisfies and TsConstAssertion, so these forms miss try_import_meta_require and synchronous lowering:

  • (import.meta satisfies ImportMeta).require("./chunk.js")
  • import.meta[("require" as const)]("./chunk.js")

Add both wrapper variants and regression tests.

Exclude private-member names from import.meta detection.

this.#import.meta is valid private-member access. Line 81 does not reject the # prefix. has_import_meta then returns true, so is_commonjs bypasses the later module.exports detection and compiles the CommonJS file as ESM.

Reject a preceding # after whitespace trimming. Add a regression with a declared #import field and module.exports.

Proposed fix
-        if before.ends_with(is_ident) || before.trim_end().ends_with('.') {
+        if before.ends_with(is_ident)
+            || before.trim_end().ends_with('.')

…t wrapper

ECMA-262 §10.3.1: a BUILT-IN function's [[Call]] does not run
OrdinaryCallBindThis. It receives `thisArg` unchanged and performs whatever
coercion it needs itself — which every thunk in `primitive_proto_thunks`
already does, accepting the raw primitive BEFORE it looks for a wrapper
payload (`string_receiver_or_throw`, `number_receiver_or_throw`, ...).

`call_primitive_closure_value` boxed for them anyway, and for a string receiver
the `ToObject` wrapper materialises an own index property per UTF-16 code unit.
The `codePointAt` arm (PerryTS#9761) showed what one method name reaching this path
costs: 99,008 wrappers per 400-character claude-code reply. This closes the
class rather than the instance — the next builtin with a prototype thunk but no
native dispatch arm costs a lookup, not a wrapper per character.

Only a sloppy USER callee still gets the wrapper. `builtin_closure_length` is
the registry that separates the two, and the test pins both directions: a
`String.prototype` method closure reads as a built-in, a closure the runtime
merely allocated does not — without the negative case the predicate could be
"always true" and still pass.
