/*
BOOL JavascriptNativeFloatArray::SetItem(uint32 index, double dValue)
{
    if (*(uint64*)&dValue == *(uint64*)&JavascriptNativeFloatArray::MissingItem)
    {
        JavascriptArray *varArr = JavascriptNativeFloatArray::ToVarArray(this);
        varArr->DirectSetItemAt(index, JavascriptNumber::ToVarNoCheck(dValue, GetScriptContext()));
        return TRUE;
    }
 
    this->DirectSetItemAt<double>(index, dValue);
    return TRUE;
}
 
As you can see above, if the double value given as the parameter equals to JavascriptNativeFloatArray::MissingItem, it converts the float array to a var array. Since the input value is not checked in the JITed code, it can lead to type confusion.
