Subject: [ruby-core:59411] [ruby-trunk - Bug #9316] BigDecimal division in	Ruby 2.1


Issue #9316 has been updated by ehutzelman (Eric Hutzelman).


=begin
I'm also seeing some different rounding/conversion in 2.1.0p0 when using BigDecimal and Floats:

((*Ruby 2.0.0p353:*))
 >> 0.25 / BigDecimal.new("0.5")
 => 0.5
 >> _.class
 => Float

((*Ruby 2.1.0p0:*))
 >> 0.25 / BigDecimal.new("0.5")
 => 0.0
 >> _.class
 => BigDecimal


=end

=begin
When updating an app to Ruby 2.1, and I ran into the following difference between ruby 2.0.0-p353 and ruby 2.1.0 when dividing two BigDecimals:

((*Ruby 2.0.0p353:*))
 2.0.0p353 :002 > (BigDecimal.new("1472.0") / BigDecimal.new("0.99")).to_f
  => 1486.868686869

((*Ruby 2.1.0p0:*))
 2.1.0p0 :006 > (BigDecimal.new("1472.0") / BigDecimal.new("0.99")).to_f
  => 1487.0
=end
