Should IndexValueToU64
use ToBigInt64
? #85
Closed
Description
When implementing #75 in V8 I was wondering that the IndexValueToU64
algorithm throws a TypeError
if the value is not a BigInt, instead of using the ToBigInt64
algorithm that's also used in ToWebAssemblyValue
.
Any reason for this restriction, or should we be consistent there and accept anything that converts to a BigInt64
according to that algorithm (in particular boolean values and string, but notably not Numbers).
One difficulty with switching to ToBigInt64
would be static typing on the IndexValue
type. Instead of unsigned long or bigint
this would need to be unsigned long or object
I guess.
