Why is there no decimalValue in NSNumber?

[David Wetzel]

Hi Folks,

Apple has this in NSDecimalNumber.h:


@interface NSNumber (NSDecimalNumberExtensions)

- (NSDecimal)decimalValue;
    // Could be silently inexact for float and double.

@end

But GNUstep throws me an NSInvalidArgumentException NSIntNumber(instance) does 
not recognize decimalValue.

My code was:

- (NSDecimalNumber*) netPriceWithPrice:(NSDecimalNumber*) price
                            vatPercent:(NSDecimalNumber*) vatPercent
{
    NSDecimalNumber* myNetPrice;

  myNetPrice = [[price 
decimalNumberByMultiplyingBy:(NSDecimalNumber*)[NSDecimalNumber 
numberWithInt:100]] decimalNumberByDividingBy:
    [[NSDecimalNumber numberWithInt:100] decimalNumberByAdding:vatPercent]];
    
  return myNetPrice;
}

Any ideas?
