The differences are not significant. I guess I wanted to make clear
in the test case that this isn't something to do with literal
rationals, and I didn't want the test case to be printing things to
the console.
OK, thanks for explaining that. I assume that this test relates to
the following NEWS item (for 1.8.2):
** Fractions were not `equal?' if stored in unreduced form.
(A subtle problem, since printing a value reduced it, making it work.)
Yes.
But doesn't that mean that your test needs to use an unreduced
fraction, e.g. 2/4 instead of 1/2 ?
Now that I look more carefully at fractions.test, my assumption that a test
case was already added for that case seems to be incorrect. I'm happy to
try to add these tests as well.
(Or does Guile have a strange idea of reduction which means that 1/2
is not already a reduced form?)
This appears to me to be the case for guile 1.8.1 at least. I assume the
two bugs, if they were separate, were fixed together. I observed this
behavior in guile 1.8.1, but not 1.8.3.
Best,
Grem
