Hi Andy,
you are right, NotEquals is comparing floating point values using != and
in general this is not a good idea (BTW, the same holds true for class
Equality).
This is a old test that came from JDO1 and AFAIK it has not been changed
since then. So I'm wondering why it is failing now. Could you file a
JIRA issue for this?
Thanks!
Regards Michael
The TCK test for NotEquals is comparing the equality of floating point values
and
subsequently failing.
The spec says :-
<spec>
Note that comparisons between floating point values are by nature inexact.
Therefore, equality com-
parisons (== and !=) with floating point values should be used with caution.
</spec>
Can someone please review this test, and comment on its validity.
