Andrew Stitcher commented on PROTON-1160:
-----------------------------------------
I'm not sure that "sent byte reversed" really has any meaning in the context of
the proton implementation of the decimalxx types: These types are actually
floating point types. But proton does not implement that floating point
semantic in any code whatever.
So it is perhaps moot to say that the python binding values are sent byte
reversed, since it is not defined what values we are actually sending!
For what it is worth I think the Ruby binding would agree with the Python byte
stream, so perhaps the C++ binding is in the minority here!

> Key: PROTON-1160
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-1160
> Project: Qpid Proton
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: python-binding
> Reporter: Kim van der Riet
> Assignee: Kim van der Riet
> Priority: Major
>
> When sending {{decimal32}} and {{decimal64}} types to or from the Python
> binding, the byte order of the numbers are reversed. This does not apply to
> the {{decimal128}} type.
> It is noteworthy that this bug was exposed by qpid-interop-test when run
> against the C++ binding. In C++, these types are all based on a byte array,
> whereas in the Python binding, {{decimal32}} and {{decimal64}} are derived
> from Python types {{int}} and {{long}} respectively, while {{decimal128}} is
> derived from Python type {{bytes}}.
> Decimal32:
> {noformat}
> sent:['0x00000000', '0x40490fdb', '0xc02df854', '0xff7fffff']
> received:['0x00000000', '0xdb0f4940', '0x54f82dc0', '0xffff7fff']
> {noformat}
> Decimal64:
> {noformat}
> sent:['0x0000000000000000', '0x400921fb54442eea', '0xc005bf0a8b145fcf',
> '0xffefffffffffffff']
> received:['0x0000000000000000', '0xea2e4454fb210940', '0xcf5f148b0abf05c0',
> '0xffffffffffffefff']
> {noformat}
