Hello,

Could you please give me a test case where regex did not correct this
discrepancy which you have mentioned in the description? I have come across
these differences in the results on ARM64 machines, and we have always used
regex to replace the results with a lower precision.

Noted in 5.7.19, 8.0.2 changelogs.

mysqltest now supports a replace_numeric_round command that takes an
argument value from 0 to 16 indicating the number of decimals to
round numeric values to. This can be used to help prevent result
content mismatch errors for tests in which slightly different results
are obtained across platforms due to precision differences. Thanks to
Daniel Black for the patch.
