What does this PR do?

Bun.write(file, file) on POSIX (copy_file::CopyFile::create in src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs) passed the destination's offset and size as the copy's window, and never used the source's window:

// /tmp/src.txt contains "hello world\n"
await Bun.write("/tmp/o1.txt", Bun.file("/tmp/src.txt").slice(6));
await Bun.file("/tmp/o1.txt").text();   // bun 1.4.4: "hello world\n", expected "world\n"

await Bun.write(Bun.file("/tmp/o2.txt").slice(2), Bun.file("/tmp/src.txt"));
await Bun.file("/tmp/o2.txt").text();   // bun 1.4.4: "hello worl" (the destination's offset trimmed 2 bytes off the copy)

Now:

  • Blob.rs passes the source's offset and min(source size, destination size). The destination's size still limits the copy, as Bun.write(Bun.file(x).slice(0, 1000), ...) is relied on to do (existing tests). The destination's offset no longer shortens it.
  • copy_file.rs trimmed the length with min(st_size, max_length).max(offset) - offset, which is zero for a window of 5 bytes at offset 6. It is now min(st_size - offset, max_length).
  • The source is positioned at its offset (set_file_offset, as read_file.rs does) before copying, and macOS skips fcopyfile (which copies from the start) when the source has an offset. clonefile was already skipped for a non-zero offset.

I did not touch the Windows path (CopyFileWindows).

How did you verify your code works?

  • Added a test to test/js/bun/io/bun-write.test.js (sources sliced with an offset, with start and end, and a destination slice with an offset).
  • With bun 1.4.4 the test fails.
  • I could not build Bun locally (no Rust toolchain on this machine), so I have not run bun bd test on this change, and the Rust is uncompiled.

…tination's offset shorten it

CopyFile was created with the destination's offset and size instead of the source's.

Walkthrough

POSIX file copies now start at the source Blob’s offset and cap the copy length by the source and destination sizes. Nonzero-offset copies use the read/write path. Tests cover source slices and destination slices.

POSIX Blob slice copying

Layer / File(s) Summary
Copy bounds and execution

The POSIX copy path uses the source offset and limits the copy length. Nonzero-offset copies use the read/write path instead of macOS fcopyfile. Tests check copied content and returned byte counts for source and destination slices.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 91bf7

Writing a zero-length slice of a non-regular file such as /dev/zero can copy until EOF instead of writing nothing. Ordinary file slices behave correctly. Guard the zero-length window before merging.

Explanation

The title names the main change: Bun.write(file, file) on POSIX now copies the source's slice, and the destination's offset no longer shortens the copy. The title matches the raw summary, the PR description, and the PR objectives, which all describe this same fix in Blob.rs and copy_file.rs.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template. It has a 'What does this PR do?' section that explains the bug with reproduction examples, the fix in Blob.rs and copy_file.rs, and the untouched Windows path. It has a 'How did you verify your code works?' section that names the new test, reports that the test fails on bun 1.4.4, and says the change was not built or run locally. The description is complete enough to pass, though the unverified Rust build is a known gap.

Guard zero-length file windows before CopyFile.

A zero-length file slice can reach the copy with max_length == 0. On Linux, that value selects the unknown-size path, which can copy until EOF instead of writing nothing. For /dev/zero, this can create a large destination file.

Guard the zero window where the length is computed. Preserve the current behavior for genuinely empty regular files, which also produce a zero length. Do not add the guard only in the unknown-size path.
