New issue 27 by wbax...@google.com: DataView Int8 type doesn't work.
http://code.google.com/p/google-js-test/issues/detail?id=27

What steps will reproduce the problem?

var array = new Uint8Array([0xff]);
var view = new DataView(array.buffer);
expectEq(-1, view.getInt8(0));



What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The test should pass, but it fails saying it got 255 when it expected -1.

I've added extensive integration tests for DataView (see rev
02710b555d2e106e90f60dd7cf667affb36881b6) and cannot reproduce this. What
version are you using?

Ah, I figured it out. The typed array code from node.js uses `char` for
representing signed 8-bit integers, but the C standard allows for `char` to
be
unsigned. My Mac uses signed ones, so I couldn't reproduce this. Will fix.
