Hi guys, When I export SmallDoubles with SIXX in GemStone it generates something like this: <sixx.object sixx.id="15" sixx.name="close" sixx.type="SmallDouble"
1.0000000000000000E-02</sixx.object>
This is because "0.01 asString" -> '1.0000000000000000E-02' Then I want to load this in Pharo. So first problem is that of course SmallDouble doesn't exist. So I did: aSixxShapeChangeStream shapeChangers at: #SmallDouble put: Float. But then, SIXX use Float >> readFrom: aStream "Answer a new Float as described on the stream, aStream." ^(super readFrom: aStream) asFloat So, of course " Float readFrom: '1.0000000000000000E-02' " -> 1.0 So my 0.01 in gemstone become 1.0 in Pharo.... Am I doing something wrong or this is expected? What is the best workaround? In GemStone I could print the SmallDouble in the XML with a method like Float >> xmlRepresentation ^ String streamContents: [:strm | self printOn: strm base: 10] Is this the correct approach? If true, I guess I should define: Float >> sixxContentOn: aStream indent: level context: dictionary aStream nextPutAll: self xmlRepresentation Thoughts?
