Issue #22085 has been updated by byroot (Jean Boussier). Another case of this warning needing to be worked around: https://github.com/ruby/json/pull/1044 ---------------------------------------- Feature #22085: `String#to_f` and `Kernel#Float` shouldn't issue out of range warnings https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/22085#change-117781 * Author: byroot (Jean Boussier) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- Ruby issue warnings when parsing out of range floats, e.g.: ``` $ ruby -We '1e184467440737095516160.to_s' -e:1: warning: Float 1e184467440737095516... out of range ``` This makes a lot of sense for float literals parsed by the Ruby parser. However I'm not convinced it makes sense when parsing user input or third party data: ```ruby
'1e184467440737095516160'.to_f (irb):1: warning: Float 1e184467440737095516... out of range => Infinity Float('1e184467440737095516160') <internal:kernel>:196: warning: Float 1e184467440737095516... out of range => Infinity
As these warnings aren't really actionable in most cases.
So I think `String#to_f` and `Kernel#Float` shouldn't issue out of range warnings.
