Closed
Description
- Version: 4.2.1
- Platform: Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit
- Subsystem: Buffer
The example for buf.readInt32LE(offset[, noAssert])
appears to be incorrect.
const buf = new Buffer([1,-2,3,4]);
buf.readInt32BE();
// returns 33424132
buf.readInt32LE(1);
// returns 67370497
Running locally in a REPL:
$ node
> const buf = new Buffer([1,-2,3,4]);
undefined
> buf.readInt32BE();
33424132
> buf.readInt32LE(1);

The offset
check is something like offset + 3 < buffer.length
, so 4 < 4
fails as it should.
