Description

The openssl library adds the to_bn method to the Integer class for creating an instance of the OpenSSL::BN class.  The code, located in openssl/bn.rb, is:

  def to_bn
    OpenSSL::BN::new(self)
  end

However, the constructor for the BN class takes a String, not an Integer.

The following repoduces the error:
  require 'openssl'
  3.to_bn
  => TypeError: can't convert Fixnum into String

  • Target version set to Ruby 1.8.7
Fixed at trunk in r29407. It must be a simple bug so I backported the fix to ruby_1_8 at r30275.

It should go to ruby_1_8_7 as well.
