[ruby-core:86019] [Ruby trunk Bug#14588] math library functions should NOT raise exceptions

Issue #14588 has been updated by shan (Shannon Skipper).


Your behavior isn't acceptable. Do not open new issues when your issue is closed and locked. It is very bad manners.

> I'm so sorry, that I reported, as a bug, the fact that my code started breaking because I updated BigDecimal and it choked on a random NaN.

~~~ ruby
BigDecimal::VERSION #=> "1.3.4"
BigDecimal(Float::NAN) #=> NaN
~~~

If you'd like to learn Ruby, and understand why it is how it is, we'd be happy to help in the #ruby channel on freenode.net. Or you could ask on the mailing list. What you're doing here isn't a good way to learn. Harassing maintainers will get you banned from Github entirely.

This issue should be closed as a duplicate of #14587.

Bug #14588: math library functions should NOT raise exceptions

----------------------------------------
BigDecimal, Integer, Float, none of these should raise exceptions, but they should all fail SILENTLY or return NaN during error cases.

I shouldn't have to go fix every possible way that BigDecimal might throw a breaking change in a thousand places in my codebase. I need math libraries that DON'T BREAK!!!


BUG RESUBMITTED. 

The bug was rejected at github because I was referred to open a ticket at ruby-lang.org.

The bug was rejectet at ruby-lang.org because the ticket was closed at github.

Not cool, guys.
