Paul King closed GROOVY-7608.
-----------------------------
> Comparison of decimal subclasses of Number with == fails
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-7608
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7608
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: groovy-runtime
> Affects Versions: 2.4.4
> Reporter: Sean Gilligan
> Assignee: Paul King
> Fix For: 2.5.0-alpha-1
>
>
> If I create a subclass of {{Number}} that is implemented internally with a
> decimal value, e.g. using a {{BigDecimal}} even if I implement
> {{compareTo()}}, Groovy will convert my numbers to {{Integer}} before
> comparison.
> {code}
> given:
> def one = MyNumberSubclass.of(1)
> def oneptone = MyNumberSubclass.of(1.1)
> then:
> one == onptone // passes when it shouldn't!
> oneptone == oneptone // fails when it shouldn't!
> {code}
> This is a critical issue for anyone creating a DSL that has custom numeric
> types (e.g. for currency handling) and wants to compare them with {{==}}.
> Specifically this problem occurs with implementations of {{NumberValue}} in
> JSR354 aka *JavaMoney*.
> I can provide some test cases for this if needed and am interesting in
> working to contribute a fix.
