ES2024 or newer

Missing / Incorrect Definition

typeAllowSharedBufferSource=ArrayBuffer|ArrayBufferView;

should be

typeAllowSharedBufferSource=ArrayBuffer|SharedArrayBuffer|ArrayBufferView;

or simply

typeAllowSharedBufferSource=BufferSource|SharedArrayBuffer

Sample Code

// Before lib=ES2024, this works, though it seems like it shouldn't.constx: AllowSharedBufferSource=newSharedArrayBuffer(4);// The reason is that SharedArrayBuffer is structurally a subtype of ArrayBuffer:consty: ArrayBuffer=newSharedArrayBuffer(4);// However when you switch to lib=ES2024+, it (correctly) doesn't work anymore, because// ArrayBuffer gained some properties that SharedArrayBuffer doesn't have.

Error (playground link):

Type 'SharedArrayBuffer' is not assignable to type 'AllowSharedBufferSource'. Type 'SharedArrayBuffer' is missing the following properties from type 'ArrayBuffer': resizable, resize, detached, transfer, transferToFixedLength
