Determines if a specified C integer is safe to pass to INT_TO_JSVAL.
Syntax
#define INT_FITS_IN_JSVAL(i) /* ... */
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
i |
jsint |
The C integer value to check. |
Description
Determines if a specified C integer value, i, lies within the range allowed for integer jsvals. If so, INT_FITS_IN_JSVAL returns TRUE, and i can be cast to jsval by calling INT_TO_JSVAL(i)INT_FITS_IN_JSVAL returns FALSE. In this case, the application can still convert i to a jsval using JS_NewNumberValue.
i must be jsint, but the C/C++ compiler does not enforce type safety here. If i is an unsigned or 64-bit value, INT_FITS_IN_JSVAL can silently give the wrong answer.JavaScript 1.8.5 note
Starting in SpiderMonkey 1.8.5, jsval can store a full 32-bit integer, so this check isn't needed any longer for 32-bit integers.
Example
The following code snippet illustrates how a C variable, item, is conditionally tested in an if statement to see if it is a legal jsval integer value.
if (INT_FITS_IN_JSVAL(item)) {
/* ... */
} else {
JS_ReportError(cx, "Integer out of range: %d", item);
}
