Bug: Not taking into account conversion between Number and BigInt for Math.pow usage

[badghee1937]

Webpack Version:
"webpack": "^6.0.1",

Babel Core Version:
"@babel/preset-env": "^7.26.7",

Babel Loader Version:
9.1.3

I have this small code-snippet:

console.log(Number(2n**53n));

After bundling it with the following configuration:

const path = require('path');
module.exports = {
    entry: './try_math_pow.js',
    output: {
        path: path.resolve(__dirname, './'),
        filename: 'bundle.js',
      },
      module: {
        rules: [
          {
            test: /\.js$/,
            exclude: /node_modules/, 
            use: {
              loader: 'babel-loader',
              options: {
                presets: ['@babel/preset-env'], 
              },
            },
          },
        ],
      },
  };

The bundled file has:
console.log(Number(Math.pow(2n,53n)));

However Math.pow doesn't take BigInt parameters, hence the parameters should be fixed accordingly to the use of Math.pow or use simply exponent arithmetic operator.

As a workaround, if your compilation targets already supported exponent arithmetic operator, please specify the targets option so that preset-env will not enable the exponent transform, for example, you can specify last 3 versions of every current browsers:

{
  use: {
              loader: 'babel-loader',
              options: {
                presets: ['@babel/preset-env'], 
                targets: "last 3 versions"
              },
            },
}

If you are using bigints, to avoid changing which browsers you support you could configure Babel's target to be "all browsers supporting bigint":

{
  use: {
              loader: 'babel-loader',
              options: {
                presets: ['@babel/preset-env'], 
                targets: "supports bigint"
              },
            },
}
