Subject: Re: 600+ BigDecimal tests

In-Reply-To: Message from Mark Wielaard <mark@klomp.org>  of "18 Jan 2003 17:04:37 +0100." <1042905877.24536.344.camel@elsschot>


Folks,

I've been looking at DiagBigDecimal and the "bugs" that it shows up.

Some are genuine, but some are questionable.  (The following is from memory
... YMMV)

  * There is a bug with the parse methods barffing with a "+" in the 
    exponent in strings like "123.4E+5".

I think this is the bug that Mark has patched.

  * There is a bug in the toString() method that doesn't add a leading
    zero in some cases; e.g. it produces ".1234" instead of "0.1234".

I have a fix for this.  [I'll submit it tonight.]

  * Some of the other tests check exception message strings, and are
    failing because the messages are different. 

I don't know whether this is a bug or not.  Is Classpath aiming to
give the same exception messages as the Sun JDK implementation ???

  * The 'has001' failure is due to differences in the way that 
    Classpath and the SUN JDK are calculating hashcodes.

I don't know whether this is a bug or not.  Is Classpath aiming to
give the same hash code values as the Sun JDK implementation ???
