Length is set to 1 but size is three

[ztamizzen]

I create a ArrayType('float') then instantiate it with size of 1, when I debug it it has three positions but the length is set to 1.
This results in when I run .toArray on it I only get one back. This might sound correct but for some reason the value I wan't is at idx three and does not get returned.

let testArrayType = ArrayType('int'),
    testArray = new testArrayType(1);
 console.log(testArray);

the above results in:

ArrayType {buffer: Buffer[4], __length: 1}
0: 0
1: 0
2: 0
__length: 1

Which does not make sense.
I am using electron, if that matters.

I can't reproduce:

$ cat t.js
const ArrayType = require('./');

let testArrayType = ArrayType('int'),
  testArray = new testArrayType(1);

console.log(testArray);

$ node t
[ 0, buffer: <Buffer@0x104033838 00 00 00 00> ]

Tried it at home and got
[ -1950620320, buffer: <Buffer@0x00000178C3B872D0 60 e5 bb 8b> ]
which is a bit odd but at least it's just one position in the array.

So I guess there is something wrong with my setup at work.

Why is yours 0 but I get a lot of garbage?...

What version of Node are you using? Buffer zero-fills by default now IIRC (I'm using latest 6.x version).

v6.3.0
Just upgraded and it looks more sensible.
Thank u, u can close this. I'll need to fix my setup at work.

Well we're using different versions of ref as well, which is evidenced by the fact that your Buffer inspected object has prefixed 000 chars in the memory address. I removed those at one point.

Actually nvm, I guess they're not zero-filled by default at this point (I'm on v6.6.0):

> new Buffer(1000)
<Buffer 05 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 05 46 05 02 01 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 78 46 05 02 01 00 00 00 05 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 ... >

So the fact that you got a random number is just a coincidence.

I've got the latest from npm, do I need to add @latest to it?...
