Sorry, sir, the spaceship crashed because BigDecimal asserted, when a "." was passed to the orbital processor, causing the entire Arithmetic Logic Unit to cease operating. If only it had WARNED us instead of refusing to calculate any further datasets! ---------------------------------------- Bug #14588: math library functions should NOT raise exceptions https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14588#change-70872 * Author: Anon92929 (Anon Ymous) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: * ruby -v: * Backport: 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN, 2.5: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- BigDecimal, Integer, Float, none of these should raise exceptions, but they should all fail SILENTLY or return NaN during error cases. I shouldn't have to go fix every possible way that BigDecimal might throw a breaking change in a thousand places in my codebase. I need math libraries that DON'T BREAK!!! BUG RESUBMITTED. The bug was rejected at github because I was referred to open a ticket at ruby-lang.org. The bug was rejectet at ruby-lang.org because the ticket was closed at github. Not cool, guys. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
