[jira] [Resolved] (LANG-747) NumberUtils does not handle Long Hex
numbers
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-747?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Sebb resolved LANG-747.
-----------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 3.2
> NumberUtils does not handle Long Hex numbers
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LANG-747
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-747
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: lang.math.*
> Reporter: Sebb
> Fix For: 3.2
>
>
> NumberUtils.createLong() does not handle hex numbers, but createInteger() handles hex and octal.
> This seems odd.
> NumberUtils.createNumber() assumes that hex numbers can only be Integer.
> Again, why not handle bigger Hex numbers?
> ==
> It is trivial to fix createLong() - just use Long.decode() instead of valueOf().
> It's not clear why this was not done originally - the decode() method was added to both Integer and Long in Java 1.2.
> Fixing createNumber() is also fairly easy - if the hex string has more than 8 digits, use Long.
> Should we allow for leading zeros in an Integer?
> If not, the length check is trivial.
