#9936: Data.Fixed truncates 5.17 to 5.16 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: singpolyma | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: | Version: 7.6.3 libraries/base | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Keywords: | Type of failure: Incorrect result Architecture: | at runtime Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Test Case: | Related Tickets: Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- `(realToFrac (5.17 :: Double) :: Centi) == 5.16` is true -- it should be false. The offender seems to be the assumption in `fromRational`: `fromRational r = withResolution (\res -> MkFixed (floor (r * (toRational res))))` Uses `floor` assuming that the underlying floating point value is stored purely and not as 0.999999 or similar -- switching it to `round` fixes this issue. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9936 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
