Subject: [ruby-core:66691] [ruby-trunk - Bug #10569] BigDecimal#fix returns a BigDecimal object instead of a Integer

Issue #10569 has been updated by Juanjo Conti.


Seems that Python works the same way. Probably is not a bug:

>>> decimal.Decimal(7).imag
Decimal('0')
>>> decimal.Decimal(7).real
Decimal('7')

----------------------------------------
According docs (http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.1.5/libdoc/bigdecimal/rdoc/BigDecimal.html#method-i-fix):  fix method return the integer part of the number. But it's returning a BugDecimal:

a = BigDecimal(7)
=> #<BigDecimal:7fb18015e698,'0.7E1',9(27)>
a.fix
=> #<BigDecimal:7fb180185d38,'0.7E1',9(18)>
a.fix.to_i
=> 7

Similar problem happens with frac method.
