PHP Warning: Decimal\Decimal::__construct() expects exactly 1 parameter, 2

[vishalmelmatti]

HI,
I am trying to use this extension on PHP 7.2.26 and Alpine 3.8 docker image.

use Decimal\Decimal;

$a = new Decimal("1", 2);
$b = new Decimal("7", 8);

print_r($a / $b);

This example code from documentation https://php-decimal.io/#basic-usage gives error

PHP Warning: Decimal\Decimal::__construct() expects exactly 1 parameter, 2 given in /app/public/index1.php on line 8 PHP Warning: Decimal\Decimal::__construct() expects exactly 1 parameter, 2 given in /app/public/index1.php on line 9 Assertion failed: dec->len > 0 (mpdecimal.c: mpd_msword: 216)

Trace:

Without 2nd parameter

use Decimal\Decimal;

$a = new Decimal("1");
$b = new Decimal("7");

print_r($a / $b);`

gives this error

Assertion failed: dec->len > 0 (mpdecimal.c: mpd_msword: 216)

Any inputs on above please ? These are the versions installed & in phpinfo.

decimal support | enabled
decimal version | 1.3.1
libmpdec version | 2.4.2

@vishalmelmatti Do your tests pass when you build this project and run make test? The __construct tests clearly test passing zero, one or two arguments. Therefore, I am at a loss how Decimal\Decimal::__construct() expects exactly 1 parameter, 2 given can be possible.

If you could share a Dockerfile that demonstrates this bug I will be happy to look closer. In the meantime, I will focus on more recent issues and release maintenance. I apologize for not coming back to this sooner.
