zzak, make distclean is the first thing I've ran. Read the gist again :),

Sorry I missed the gist, can you try building outside of $srcdir?

It works if I do ...

This definitely would be a good solution for this specific example. But we have to (try to) make sure it's going to work consistently for other numeric types, too. For example, I tested with Rational(70606, 100). That compares equal with 706.06 (both ways). So it would indeed make sense to have BigDecimal('706.06') also compare equal with 706.06. It currently does if written 706.06 op BigDecimal('706.06') (op is any of <=>, <=, ==, >=, !=, <, >), but not the other way round.

But simply converting BigDecimal to Float may not make sense in general. Imagine a BigDecimal with much higher precision, like
BigDecimal('706.06059999999999'), and some corresponding floats. We may want to actually say that the BigDecimal is bigger or smaller than the float created from the same string, because the float looses precision.

Currently, I get
   706.06059999999999 <=> BigDecimal('706.06059999999999') #=>  0
   BigDecimal('706.06059999999999') <=> 706.0605999999999  #=> -1
which is of course inconsistent. We should in any case make sure that
   (a <=> b) + (b <=> a)
is always 0 wherever the comparison makes sense.

Bug #9192: Inconsistent comparison between Float and BigDecimal
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9192#change-43407

Author: vatsu (Gustavo Sales)
Status: Assigned
Priority: Normal
Assignee: mrkn (Kenta Murata)

Target version: 
ruby -v:  2.0.0p353 (2013-11-22 revision 43784) [x86_64-darwin11.4.2]
Backport: 1.9.3: UNKNOWN, 2.0.0: UNKNOWN


I was checking a possible inconsistency on ActiveModel and I found situations where comparing BigDecimal to Float differs to comparing Float to BigDecimal.

I have create a simple ruby script to exemplify the problem. The script is attach to this issue and output is as follows:

Instance number 706.05

Instance number 706.06
Inconsistence:
0.70606E3 > 706.06
