Rollup now supports marking a function as sied-effect free:

It's a common pitfall in tree-shaking component libraries. For example

export const RouterView = defineComponent(...)
 
export const RouterLink = defineComponent(...)
import { RouterView } from './my-route.ts

It seems RouterLink should be tree shaken, but in reality, because defineComponent is a bit complex that Rollup can't know whether it contains side-effects, causing it still remain in the bundle even if it's not been used.

A solution to that is to add the __PURE__ comment to mark them as pure. But that requires to do so every single time, which can easily be forgotten.

export const RouterView = /*#__PURE__*/ defineComponent(...)
 
export const RouterLink = /*#__PURE__*/ defineComponent(...)

So, instead of asking every callee to add __PURE__, we mark the defineComponent function itself to be side-effect-free using __NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__. So they can always be safely tree-shaken.

In this PR, the following functions are marked side-effect free:

  • defineComponent
  • defineAsyncComponet
  • defineCustomElement
  • defineSSRCustomElement

Side note: because we are using esbuild, which does not preserve comments. We need to use /*! to keep the controlling comment, before esbuild supports __NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__ natively (evanw/esbuild#3149)
