@Qard there's a linter error – please run |
When lineNumbers is enabled, the column is always zero. If only one occurence of a call occurs on one line then that is correctly selected. However, in cases where the same function is called multiple times in the same line it will be unable to differentiate them and would use the unmapped value. This now makes it select the first call in the line as a best-guess for the match, and in Node.js v25 will use the new column field in LineTick to select the correct column where possible.

Odd. Any idea what the issue was? Seemed to work in our environment, but I'm not sure if we actually use webpack in there anywhere. 🤔 |

What does this PR do?:
Fixes an issue with source maps not being applied correctly when multiple calls to the same function occur within the same line.
In Node.js v25+ time profiles with lineNumber enabled will use the new column field in the LineTick type to correlate with the correct entry in the source map file. In prior versions it will match against the first call to a same-named function in the line for which mapping is being attempted.
This means all calls after the first in a line will be correctly attributed in Node.js v25+ and will become a best-guess of the first match in any older versions.
It also fixes a smaller bug that functions in a bundle could be mapped incorrectly if they share a same name but only different source files.
Motivation:
Currently if two calls to the same function occur within the same line they are undifferentiated. The way the logic works presently will result in the first call being mapped to the first mapping and the second call left unmapped.
How to test the change?:
Try profiling a source-mapped fibonacci function. You'll see the leaf node, where it's slightly more costly to do the second return expression call than the first, is left unmapped.
