Hi,

The glibc manual states "If a result is too small to be represented as a denormalized number, it is rounded to zero. However, the sign of the result is preserved" If +.99999... is to be rounded to -infinity then the nearest integer is a positive zero ( + 0 ) if a the sign is to be preserved.
But the result that Iam getting is -0.
Please let me know if this is correct or Iam interpreting the rounding off function wrong.

Regards
- Chinmay
