Subject: Possible infinite loop inside Math::BigFloat->batan2()
Given the following code: ===BEGIN=== use Math::BigFloat (lib => 'GMP'); my $x = Math::BigFloat->new('0.08628308027'); my $y = Math::BigFloat->new('0.008726535033'); CORE::say $x->batan2($y); ===END=== On my computer, with Math::BigInt::GMP installed, after two minutes, the code is still running. My guess is that it got stuck into an infinite loop, or the function is just too slow to finish in a reasonable amount of time. I'm not really sure which one is the case.
With Math-BigInt v1.999714, my laptop takes less than a fraction of a execute the code and return 1.4700006461650417615358745908443378854551204. Thanks to DANAJ (Dana Jacobsen) for the fix and for the suggestions for speeding up the code. The batan2() method was almost completely rewritten. If it returned a result, the result was often incorrect.
