[ruby-core:51657] [ruby-trunk - Bug #5715] +/-1 ** Bignum returns different results than +/-1 ** Fixnum

From: "marcandre (Marc-Andre Lafortune)" <ruby-core@...>
Date: 2013-01-25 05:46:33 UTC
List: ruby-core #51657
Issue #5715 has been updated by marcandre (Marc-Andre Lafortune).

Target version set to 2.0.0


----------------------------------------
Bug #5715: +/-1 ** Bignum returns different results than +/-1 ** Fixnum
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5715#change-35620

Author: john_firebaugh (John Firebaugh)
Status: Assigned
Priority: Normal
Assignee: marcandre (Marc-Andre Lafortune)
Category: core
Target version: 2.0.0
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30 revision 33570) [x86_64-darwin10.8.0]


=begin
Consider (({1 ** expt})) and (({(-1) ** expt})).

When ((|expt|)) is a Fixnum, the result is always 1, -1, Rational(1/1), or Rational(-1,1) depending on the signs of the operands and parity of the exponent.

When ((|expt|)) is a Bignum, Float 1.0 is always returned. Either the behavior for Fixnum exponents should be followed exactly (preferred), or at the very least -1.0 should be returned when the base is -1 and the exponent is odd.

 $VERBOSE = nil
 
 wordsize = 8 * 1.size
 fixnum_max = 2 ** (wordsize - 2) - 1
 fixnum_min = -2 ** (wordsize - 2)
 
 [1, -1].each do |a|
 [ 1,  2, fixnum_max, fixnum_max + 1, fixnum_max + 2,
 -1, -2, fixnum_min, fixnum_min - 1, fixnum_min - 2].each do |b|
 puts "%5s ** %20s (%s) == %5s" % [a, b, b.class, a ** b]
 end
 end

Output:
    1 **                    1 (Fixnum) ==     1
    1 **                    2 (Fixnum) ==     1
