             Summary: Consider enabling (non-fatal) compiler warnings about float equality comparisons
                 Key: MESOS-4019
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-4019
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Wish
            Reporter: Benjamin Bannier


Comparing floating point numbers for equality does what is naively expected only in a very limited number of cases. More often than not one should probably instead either choose types allowing exact representation, or switch to a domain-specific equality measure.

We should consider enabling compiler warnings on such operations.
