bignum#to_f spec missing guards
Reported by James Deville | May 6th, 2008 @ 02:55 PM | in 1.0 preview
Bignum#to_f spec is testing string specific formatting that varies on Windows. The spec is testing that the to_f.to_s == "<>e+19", however on Windows, Ruby format's it as "<>e+019", thus the comparison fails. This spec should probably be guarded with platform specific tests.

I'm attaching a patch that guards the specs. I don't have access to a Windows machine so please apply it and let me know if it works to push it.

Alternative fix committed in d73b17b.
In general, we should use correct float literals for these specs. If there are cases where the number ends up being a non-terminating decimal, we should use the #be_close matcher with a suitable tolerance.
