1393085 - Float32 to Float64 (resp. Float32 to Float64) typed array constructor needs to canonicalize NaNs

Status: NEW

(Core :: JavaScript: Standard Library, enhancement, P3)

Description

[André Bargull [:anba]]

Test case:
---
var ta = new Float32Array(2);
new Uint32Array(ta.buffer)[0] = 0x7f800005;
new Uint32Array(ta.buffer)[1] = 0x7f800007;

var tb = new Float32Array(new Float64Array(ta));
print(new Uint32Array(tb.buffer)[0].toString(16));
print(new Uint32Array(tb.buffer)[1].toString(16));
---

Expected:
- NaN payload is removed

Actual:
- NaN payload is still present


https://tc39.github.io/ecma262/#sec-typedarray-typedarray calls GetValueFromBuffer (https://tc39.github.io/ecma262/#sec-getvaluefrombuffer), which in turn calls RawBytesToNumber (https://tc39.github.io/ecma262/#sec-rawbytestonumber), which canonicalizes NaN values.

NaN canonicalization has moved to https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-rawbytestonumeric, tho I don't think anyone is doing this right now..
