Issue #6677 has been updated by mame (Yusuke Endoh). Status changed from Open to Assigned ---------------------------------------- Bug #6677: Bignum#== and Float#== should be symmetric https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6677#change-28099 Author: Eregon (Benoit Daloze) Status: Assigned Priority: Normal Assignee: mrkn (Kenta Murata) Category: core Target version: ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0dev (2012-05-25 trunk 35779) [x86_64-darwin10.8.0] Reading #3429 again, I noticed a related bug (and by the way, thank you nobu for solving that bug!): I wrote: "Also, while doing some tests about this I noticed that "bignum == Float::INFINITY" [...], while it should not, as it is always false." I did not notice it to hang anymore, but the result of #== is asymmetrical: irb for ruby 2.0.0 r35779 > n=2**7830457;nil => nil > n == Float::INFINITY => false > Float::INFINITY == n => true I think a Bignum is never infinite. -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
