@sealmove Unfonutately, as all numbers in JavaScript are
double
s with just 53 bits of mantissa, a 64-bit integer will lose precision during the conversion to it (using theparseInt
method). It means that not all integers larger than 253 - 1 (available in theNumber.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER
constant) can't be represented accurately in the native JavaScript number type: e.g.Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER + 1 == Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER + 2
, see MDN.But it doesn't have to happen here, because the
Converter.numConv
method works internally with abigInt
, though it returns astring
(don't know why). Anyway, I would suggest to convert the string to thebigInt
type, and do the arithmetics you need to do in thefileToUnixTime
method using its methods instead of the native arithmetic operators.And I just checked that
Date
object has more than sufficient range for not losing precision here, it's even far larger thanFILETIME
has (maximum year inFILETIME
is ~30828, maximum year ofDate
is 275760), so there shouldn't be a problem, if you choose a safe method of initializing it.There was a problem hiding this comment.

@sealmove Actually, you can safely ignore that "safe method". I've just tested on RunKit the maximum year 30828 of
FILETIME
, and the number that represents thatDate
(number of milliseconds that have elapsed since midnight on January 1, 1970, UTC) is still ~10 times less than theNumber.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER
, so it will be fine to just stuff thatUnix timestamp * 1000
number into thenew Date()
constructor, after you do the arithmetic withbigInt
.
