What

Found with the whitespace analyzer. The postfix branch of UpdateExpression::gen_expr called print_space_before_operator(operator) before printing the operand. For a postfix x++ the ++ comes after the operand, so this treated the trailing ++ as if it immediately followed a preceding + (the +/++ guard exists to avoid +++ in prefix x + ++y).

Result, when minifying:

Input Before After
x + y++ x+ y++ x+y++
a + `-` + i[1]++ a+`-`+ i[1]++ a+`-`+i[1]++

Fix

Matches esbuild's EUnary printer: for postfix, print the operand first, then call printSpaceBeforeOperator immediately before the operator text. The guard prev_op_end == code.len() then makes it a no-op (the operand was printed since the last operator), so x+y++ stays tight. Required spaces from the prefix/binary guard are unaffected:

  • x + ++yx+ ++y, x - --yx- --y, b + +cb+ +c

Output matches esbuild exactly. Codegen (116) + minifier (506) pass; minsize updated.

…inifying (#23027)

## What

Found with the whitespace analyzer. The postfix branch of `UpdateExpression::gen_expr` called `print_space_before_operator(operator)` **before** printing the operand. For a postfix `x++` the `++` comes *after* the operand, so this treated the trailing `++` as if it immediately followed a preceding `+` (the `+`/`++` guard exists to avoid `+++` in prefix `x + ++y`).

Result, when minifying:

| Input | Before | After |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `x + y++` | `x+ y++` | `x+y++` |
| ``a + `-` + i[1]++`` | ``a+`-`+ i[1]++`` | ``a+`-`+i[1]++`` |

## Fix

Matches esbuild's `EUnary` printer: for postfix, print the operand first, then call `printSpaceBeforeOperator` immediately before the operator text. The guard `prev_op_end == code.len()` then makes it a no-op (the operand was printed since the last operator), so `x+y++` stays tight. Required spaces from the prefix/binary guard are unaffected:

- `x + ++y` → `x+ ++y`, `x - --y` → `x- --y`, `b + +c` → `b+ +c`

Output matches esbuild exactly. Codegen (116) + minifier (506) pass; minsize updated.
