Summary: floating point comparison algorithm
Initial Comment: The floating point comparison algorithm does not seem to work if one of the floating points is zero and the other one is close to zero. Here's the code sample
[...] This is intentional. According my understanding of numeric computations no value is close to zero with any tolerance. If you indeed want to test that the value is small, use check_is_small/BOOST_CHECK_SMALL instead. If you want to check closeness of two values, don't check the difference with zero. Use the BOOST_CHECK_CLOSE directly with values you are comparing. Gennadiy
