[ruby-core:86024] [Ruby trunk Bug#14588] math library functions should NOT raise exceptions

[spamscud2003@yahoo.com]

Issue #14588 has been updated by Anon92929 (Anon Ymous).


I suggest that those who think that passing new types of exceptions upstream as asserts is not a BUG are the ones who need to learn programming, not myself. Force-closing actual bug reports and banning users because you think your little math sub-library should feature that new breaking "assert" statement, which breaks peoples' codebases is a symptom of more than just one little "." that broke the camel's back.

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.
