=== What steps will reproduce the problem? ===

Long.MinValue to Long.MaxValue by Int.MaxValue

=== What is the expected behavior? ===
(2*9223372036854775807)/2147483647 = 8589934596
and 8589934596 > Int.MaxValue.

It should be rejected, because it has more than Int.MaxValue elements.

=== What do you see instead? ===

scala.collection.immutable.NumericRange[Long] = NumericRange(-9223372036854775808)

=== Additional information ===
I think Paul is the expert here, see #4308 and #4321.

=== What versions of the following are you using? ===

  • Scala: 2.10.0.r24516-b20110320020044

I hope Paul doesn't hate me too much, but I fear it will get assigned to him anyways ... so forgive me, I'm just doing the inevitable here. :-/

Is there some information on how to write tests? I would at least sit down and try to catch all the tricky stuff on the boundaries.

It's not difficult. Writing tests is by far the most useful thing you could do. Just look at the existing tests. Here are the ones which mention Range somehow.

% ./partest --grep Range

Hi Paul.

    rangeForeach(10 until 1 by -3);

    boundaryTests()
  }
}

(Two of them (range1, range2) will fail currently.)

In Scala 2.10.3:

scala> 0.0 until 5.0 by 10.0
res0: scala.collection.immutable.NumericRange[Double] = NumericRange(0.0)
scala> 0.0 until 0.5 by 1.0
res1: scala.collection.immutable.NumericRange[Double] = NumericRange(0.0)

In Scala 2.11.0:

scala> 0.0 until 5.0 by 10.0
res0: scala.collection.immutable.NumericRange[Double] = NumericRange(0.0)
scala> 0.0 until 0.5 by 1.0
res1: scala.collection.immutable.NumericRange[Double] = NumericRange()

Is this change in behavior intended? It is due to the above pull request, and looks like a bug to me.

Another one: 0.0 until 0.3 by 0.1 does not give the expected result.

I may have a fix for "0.0 until 0.3 by 0.1".

I'm trying to fix #8518. I've added a test for it, and have a fix. It also fixes "0.0 until 0.3 by 0.1". Perhaps someone can help me sort out the binary incompatibility warnings? The changes are in:
https://github.com/darabos/scala/commits/SI-8518

Should I send this as a pull request even if it is unfinished?

@Ichoran said:
It looks like the changes you are making can't go in 2.11 because they rely upon things that are not binary compatible (e.g. abstract class to private class), so this would be a fix for 2.12 at the earliest. I'd hold off submitting a PR against 2.11 until I have a go at fixing it in a binary-compatible way. I don't think we want range broken for the whole 2.11 series. I'll give it a try tomorrow.

Daniel Darabos (darabos) said:
It doesn't exactly rely on such changes, it's just me being clumsy. I've got a version now which only adds two new private methods. Still it is rejected by the forward binary compatibility check. I'm fairly new to all this — is there a common way to add some internal code in a way that passes the compatibility check?

I appreciate you jumping on the problem right away! It's just that #8518 was broken in 2.10 too, so even if you fix this tomorrow, I still have to figure it out for my change. Thanks!

@Ichoran said:
[~darabos] I don't see how an anchor point is really going to solve the issues. The key is the comment "XXX This may be incomplete". This is a classic design bug pattern: inheritance that doesn't override enough to do what it needs to do. To solve the issue, we need to add overrides in mapRange's overridden NumericRange (and make sure it gets used).

Daniel Darabos (darabos) said:
The anchor point is meant to only solve #8518. In that case the problem is that we suffer from floating point inaccuracies each time we pick a new start and end point, so take() and drop() end up silly.

After struggling with binary compatibility a bit longer, I'm of the opinion as well to submit it against 2.12. But how do I do that? Is it on a separate branch, or do I tell test.bc somehow which version to test against?

Sorry for polluting your ticket. Let me know if I should take my questions elsewhere. Thanks!

@Ichoran said:
My point is that once the floating point inaccuracies are fixed, #8518 will magically work also; and an anchor point is not really the best way to solve them anyway, since you still have inaccuracies in our output (you just cope with them internally).

I don't think the 2.12 branch has been created yet. Just hang on until it is, I guess, and then rebase and submit against that branch. But I think I'm going to have to fix the inaccuracy problem anyway. I haven't quite figured out yet what is possible without breaking compatibility.

Sounds good, thanks. I do not yet understand what you mean by fixing floating point inaccuracies, but I will see in time. (My worry is that there will always be numbers that you cannot accurately represent.)

@Ichoran said:
In previous versions, Double and Float ranges would actually defer to BigDecimal to avoid inaccuracies. My intent is to do that again. The performance will likely suffer, but it is difficult otherwise to avoid e.g. (0.1 to 0.5 by 0.1) contains 0.3 == false.

Daniel Darabos (darabos) said:
I have a pretty vague understanding of BigDecimal... Are its operations always associative? Will it avoid inaccuracies with a step size of, say, 1.0/3.0?

@paulp said:
It still does defer to BigDecimal depending on how you construct it. I guess this is my doing via the de-duplication of the to/until code for numerics.

scala> 0.0 until 0.3 by 0.1
res5: scala.collection.immutable.NumericRange[Double] = NumericRange(0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.30000000000000004)

scala> Range.Double(0.0, 0.3, 0.1)

@Ichoran said:
@paulp 'fraid so. Patching it back in is nontrivial, because as usual there's an incomplete proxy involved that needs to be fixed as well--but in this case it may not be fixable without breaking binary compatibility in at least one direction.
