Hi,
as of JDK 1.8.0_101, the following JUnit test fails:
@Test
public void testLongIsNumber() {
jdk.nashorn.api.scripting.ScriptObjectMirror isNumberFunction =
eval("function isNumber(arg) {\n" +
" return typeof arg === 'number';\n" +
"}\n" +
"");
Object result = isNumberFunction.call(isNumberFunction, 1L);
assertTrue((boolean) result);
}
This breaks e.g. Nodyn, where Long numbers resulting from java.io.File.length()
are passed into https://nodejs.org/api/util.html#util_util_isnumber_object ,
resulting in some „if" clause now taking the wrong turn. I guess this is a
side-effect of https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8144020 .
While I’m probably able to patch this in Nodyn, I find it a bit frightening
that any other code out there that relies on Longs being typeof ‚number‘ will
break now, in particular because there is a lot of JDK API that returns Long...
Regards,
Jörg
