9523 - JavaScript: new Date().getTime().toString() -> loop

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect, P3)

Description

[sh990154]

I've made some progress in porting Seamonkey V7 to the ARM platform.
But there's a problem I can't track down to a solution.
Everytime when the statement
( new Date() ).getTime().toString()
appears, it comes to an infinite loop (I've had it running a whole night long).
I've checked nearly everything and everything else seems to work.
Is there something that you think might shed some light on this???

TIA.

tried it on an m8 windows build, and didn't have a problem  am checking it out
on linux.

sh990154, can you try the test case that i attached, and see if it causes the
loop?

if it does not cause the loop, would you please add a new test case that
demonstrates what you are seeing?

I`ve solved that problem now. ARM is a little endian architecture but 64
bit double words are stored differently: the 32 bit words are in little
endian byte order, the two words are stored in big endian`s way. So the
macros word0(x) and word1(x) are defined in the wrong way.

Changing line 213 in js/src/jsdtoa.c to
#if defined (IEEE_8087) && !defined(__arm)
solves the problem.


Thanks nevertheless.

Stefan.
