Description

=begin
Trunk ruby on Windows XP x86 with mingw-w64 gcc 4.7.2 has the following test failure.

  1. Failure:
    test_round_with_precision(TestFloat) [C:/Users/Worker/Jenkins/workspace/ruby-trunk-x86-build/test/ruby/test_float.rb:389]:
    <1.0e-300> expected but was
    <9.999999999999994e-301>.

I get the failure with make test-all TESTS="-qv -n test_round_with_precision".

But it's strange that I don't get the failure with make test-all TESTS="-qv ruby/test_float.rb".
And This failure doesn't occur on Win7.

Floating-point precision seems to be changed for some reason. Mingw-w64 has own pow() implementation and the precision of pow(10, ndigits) is not proper.
I found calling (({_controlfp(_PC_64, _MCW_PC)})) before pow() improves precision and fixes this failure.

I'll commit this patch if there is no other better fix.

Hiroshi, thank you for reporting this issue.
Your contribution to Ruby is greatly appreciated.
May Ruby be with you.


win32.h: set floating point precision for pow()

  • include/ruby/win32.h (rb_w32_pow): set floating point precision
    for mingw-w64 x86 pow(). This improves the precision of pow() on
    Windows XP for TestFloat#test_round_with_precision failure.
