[jira] [Commented] (THRIFT-4675) JS code generators not handling
int64 type properly for constants and for TypeScript type mappings
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4675?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16738194#comment-16738194 ]
James E. King III commented on THRIFT-4675:
-------------------------------------------
So this affects lib/ts and not lib/nodets, or both? Why are there two?

> Key: THRIFT-4675
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4675
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: JavaScript - Compiler
> Affects Versions: 0.11.0
> Reporter: Buğra Gedik
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> The code generated for JS constants involving the {{int64}} Thrift type do not rely on the {{Int64}} JS type (from the {{node-int64}} package Thrift uses for handling 64-bit integers).
> For example, consider the following Thrift constant definitions:
> {code}
> const i64 MAX_INT64 = 9223372036854775807
> const i64 SMALL_INT64 = 15
> {code}
> This results in generating the following code:
> For node.js:
> {code}
> ttypes.MAX_INT64 = 9223372036854775807;
> ttypes.SMALL_INT64 = 15;
> {code}
> For the browser:
> {code}
> MAX_INT64 = 9223372036854775807;
> SMALL_INT64 = 15;
> {code}
> Since the JS {{number}} type cannot natively represent integers that do not fit into a double precision floating point, this will result in lost precision for certain values. E.g., printing {{MAX_INT64}} would produce {{922337203685477}}*{{6000}}*.
> The correct output should be (showing for node.js):
> {code}
> ttypes.MAX_INT64 = new Int64(''7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF'');
> ttypes.SMALL_INT64 = new Int64(15);
> {code}
> Besides this, none of the Typescript type bindings ({{.d.ts}} files) contain the types for int64 types. This includes constants, types, and service method parameters.
> Note that fixing this may break some of the existing code. In my mind, this is how it should work by default, but I don't know the policy in Thrift regarding backward compatibility. It could also be added as an option.
