Description

  • Source
JsPointerToString(NULL, 0, &str);

  • Expected str = empty string

  • Actual failed and returns JsErrorNullArgument

I think this should be possible

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the JsPointerToString implementation in ChakraCore to understand why a null pointer with length 0 returns an error. Modify the function to treat this case as an empty string.
