Ok, it seems that the intValue()
getter does work as a longValue()
getter, but only works for positive values.
Check this:
new BigInteger(-2147483647).intValue()
returns to 2147483649
@stevenroose was that in javascript or dartvm, or both?
That was in dartvm. I did not test in JS On Apr 2, 2014 5:55 AM, "Adam Singer" notifications@github.com wrote:

Would have to think about this more... Dont have a good plan about "fixing" this.
CORRECTION: see first comment
Java's BigInteger has a
longValue()
getter to return the BigInteger's value as a long.dart-bignum's only has an
intValue()
. While Dart does not have a long type, the integer type does support numbers larger than 32 bits. However, theintValue()
getter caps the value at 32 bits.So there should be a
longValue()
getter that allows for numbers up to 64 bits. Dart supports 64-bit integers and JS also supports ints larger than 32 bits.I tried to look at it myself, but I don't fully understand the code. (Does the JS BigInteger have a
longValue()
?)
