[Boost-users] BOOST_CHECK_CLOSE with integral types

21 Sep 2005

      Hi all,

Is BOOST_CHECK_CLOSE supposed to work with integral types?  I find that 
if I try:

        long var1 = 1001;
        BOOST_CHECK_CLOSE(var1, 2000L, 10L);

under both MSVC 2005 and GCC 3.4, it'll pass, which is wrong as far as I 
can see - whereas:

        double var2 = 1001.0;
        BOOST_CHECK_CLOSE(var2, 2000.0, 10.0);

fails as it should.

Why is this?  int has the same problem.

Cheers,
Will
