Convert a JavaScript value to an integer type as specified by the ECMAScript standard.

Syntax

JSBool
JS_ValueToECMAInt32(JSContext *cx, jsval v, int32 *ip);

JSBool
JS_ValueToECMAUint32(JSContext *cx, jsval v, uint32 *ip);

JSBool
JS_ValueToUint16(JSContext *cx, jsval v, uint16 *ip);
Name Type Description
cx JSContext * The context in which to perform the conversion. Requires request. In a JS_THREADSAFE build, the caller must be in a request on this JSContext.
v jsval The JavaScript value to convert.
ip int32 * or uint32 * or int16 * Out parameter. On success, *ip receives the converted value.

Description

JS_ValueToECMAInt32, JS_ValueToECMAUint32, and JS_ValueToUint16 convert a JavaScript value to various integer types as specified in the ECMAScript specification.

All three functions first convert v to a floating-point number as if by calling JS_ValueToNumber; NaN values are then converted to zero. If that succeeds, the result is then converted to the target integer type. This second conversion cannot fail.

On success, JS_ValueToECMAInt32 stores the converted value in *ip and returns JS_TRUE. On error or exception, it returns JS_FALSE, and the value left in *ip is undefined.
