| Summary | 0006719: Float nan comparison is broken | ||||||||
| Description |
IEEE 754 state that NaN cannot be compared (ordered) Thus every comparison message involving a NaN SHOULD return false. This is not the case for example of: Float nan >= 2 Which is true, and should be false... |
||||||||
| Additional Information |
In old versions when NaN were not in the image, Float used to be a fully ordered set and as such were a good subclass of Magnitude. With NaN inside, this is not the case anymore. This is breaking original st80 logic. I would prefer converting Float nan to some NaN instance. A class that would of course not even be a kindOf: Number as the name tells (Not A Number). |

Mea culpa: one comparison operator should return true. This is the ~= test. So please forget FloatNan-Compare-M6719-Test.1.cs and load version 2. |

I have some in-image correction to propose, but that will not fully solve the problem... The VM must also be corrected 0007260 |

A) Magnitude assumes subclass are fully ordered sets B) Number is a partially ordered set due to nan Thus Number is not a well behaved Magnitude... Either we relax Magnitude assumption, by changing definition of <= and >=, Or we implement > >= <= in Number or its subclasses to avoid the nan mess. I propose to adopt second solution, based on 0003374, that is based on exact number comparison. If you don't like 0003374 , simply replace adpatToXXX:andCompare: with adpatToXXX:andSend: Note that VW does encounter the problem with Point comparison. In Squeak too, but we should better forbid such comparison see 0007259 And please, don't forget that a new VM is also needed ( 0007260 ) |

"fix begin" Installer mantis ensureFix: 3374. Installer mantis bug: 6719 fix:'M6719-FloatNaNCompare-Patch-nice.1.cs'. "fix test" Installer mantis bug: 6719 fix:'FloatNaNCompare-M6719-Test.2.cs'. "fix end" |

Note that another solution would be to test argument isNumber ifFalse: [^false] for every comparison (< <= > >=), a l'instar de #= |

Fixed in http://source.squeak.org/trunk/Kernel-nice.250.mcz [^] Note: the fix does not include 0003374 by now. This will be an independent decision (I will strongly support of course) |
