Determines if an object has an array length property.

Syntax

JSBool
JS_HasArrayLength(JSContext *cx, JSObject *obj, jsuint *lengthp);
Name Type Description
cx JSContext * Pointer to a JS context from which to derive runtime information. Requires request. In a JS_THREADSAFE build, the caller must be in a request on this JSContext.
obj JSObject * Array object to get the length of.
lengthp jsuint * Out parameter. On success, *lengthp receives the length of the array.

Description

JS_HasArrayLength determines if an object, obj, has a length property. If the property exists, JS_HasArrayLength stores the current value of the property in *lengthp.

On success, JS_HasArrayLength returns JS_TRUE, and *lengthp receives the current value of the length property. On failure, JS_HasArrayLength returns JS_FALSE, and the value left in *lengthp is undefined.

This function differs from JS_GetArrayLength in the treatment of errors and unusual cases, like when an object's length is negative or not a number. This function may return JS_FALSE without having reported any error or exception.
