Bug #1184: Type error in Integer#to_bn (via Openssl)

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: shyouhei (Shyouhei Urabe)
• Target version: Ruby 1.8.7
• ruby -v: ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [x86_64-linux]

=begin
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
=end

=begin
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.
