misc-incorrect-roundings
========================
Checks the usage of patterns known to produce incorrect rounding.
Programmers often use::
(int)(double_expression + 0.5)
to round the double expression to an integer. The problem with this:
1. It is unnecessarily slow.
2. It is incorrect. The number 0.499999975 (smallest representable float
number below 0.5) rounds to 1.0. Even worse behavior for negative
numbers where both -0.5f and -1.4f both round to 0.0.
