Use the set method. But note, that you now need twice the memory! var a = new Int8Array( [ 1, 2, 3 ] ); var b = new Int8Array( [ 4, 5, 6 ] ); var c = new Int8Array(a.length + b.length); c.set(a); c.set(b, a.length); console.log(a); console.log(b); console.log(c);
The current behaviour, is determined by the endianness of the underlying hardware. As almost all desktop computers are x86, this means little-endian. Most ARM OSes use little-endian mode (ARM processors are bi-endian and thus can operate in either). The reason why this is somewhat sad is the fact that it means almost nobody will test … Read more
