Skip declaration emit without a prior signature by jakebailey · Pull Request #4726 · microsoft/typescript-go

Jake Bailey (jakebailey) · 2026-07-24T03:02:19Z

WIP

Cover an incremental noEmit build where a change propagates through a re-export and its importer after source versions were stored as signatures.

When an unchanged importer has signature == version, there is no previous declaration signature available for comparison. Computing one may allow propagation to stop, but requires declaration emit. Skip that refinement and conservatively continue through the importer graph instead.

Pull request overview

Optimizes incremental builds by avoiding unnecessary declaration-signature emission when no prior declaration signature exists.

Thank you for contributing to the TypeScript native port!

Development has moved from this repository back to the main microsoft/TypeScript repository. GitHub does not have PR transfer functionality, so we're closing this PR here.

If this change is still relevant, please reopen it as a new pull request in microsoft/TypeScript. We'd appreciate your help carrying the contribution over, and we apologize for the extra work.

See microsoft/typescript-go#4918 for more information about the move.
