Hi there,

To summarize, if two polygons are built spatially equal, then boost::geometry::equals sometimes fails to recognize it.
I hope this post is not a duplicate. I googled around and did not find anything.

>From my investigations, the problem comes from the building of the "point-direction" vectors, which end up having different sizes. At some point in the algorithm, the direction of the last point is compared to the one of the first point and the latter is removed if equal. Here it happens between the last point of the interior ring and the first of the exterior ring : on p1 they are different but on p2, hence the difference of size that causes equals to fail.
