JEXL divide by zero

[Kelly Chen <kc...@successfactors.com>]

Currently in ASTDivNode.java and ASTModNode.java, we explicitly catch
div/0 and return 0. The code snippet looks like the following:

 

        /*

         * catch div/0

         */

        if (r.doubleValue() == 0.0) {

            return new Double(0.0);

        }

 

I just wonder what is the consideration for handling this way instead of
throwing an ArithemticException.  Right now this behavior hides the
divided by zero issue and generates some result that is not necessary
correct depends on the usage.

 

Thanks.
