It actually is problem of Openstep 4.2 Enterprise (i.e. NT/W2K) (+/-
Y2k Patch)
(maybe other Versions of Openstep also ?)
The short Version:
NSDecimalCompare(12.5, 12.5000000000000000000000000000000000121)
evaluates to NSOrderingSame !!!
Hi,
from OS X's NSDecimal.h:
#define NSDecimalMaxSize (8)
// Give a precision of at least 38 decimal digits, 128 binary
positions.
You're exceeding the maximum precision possible with the implementations
of OPENSTEP, Rhapsody and OS X (I just checked the last, but assume it's
the same on the other platforms).
Cheers,
Marcus
