WARNING! Do NOT use this function in real code unless you absolutely have
to! Using it in controlled tests is fine, but do NOT use it in real code if
you have any better option!
This function is a giant hack. It will throw exceptions on numbers that
don't fit in a Javascript number. It will go into an infinite loop on
circular structures (although that might be fixed eventually). It was only
ever written to support our hacked-together watch expression system, and
later repurposed to make testing easier.
If you are not doing something as horrible as evaluating user-inputted
Javascript expressions meant to operate upon Solidity variables, then you
probably have a better option than using this in real code!
(For instance, if you just want to nicely print individual values, without
attempting to first operate on them via Javascript expressions, we have the
ResultInspector class, which can be used with Node's
util.inspect()
to do exactly that.)
Remember, the decoder output format was made to be machine-readable. It
shouldn't be too hard for you to process. If it comes to it, copy-paste
this code and dehackify it for your use case, which hopefully is more
manageable than the one that caused us to write this.
