There's an explanation in the linux man-page for lrint:
SUSv2 and POSIX.1‐2001 contain text about overflow (which might set er‐
rno to ERANGE, or raise an FE_OVERFLOW exception). In practice, the
result cannot overflow on any current machine, so this error‐handling
stuff is just nonsense. (More precisely, overflow can happen only when
the maximum value of the exponent is smaller than the number of man‐
tissa bits. For the IEEE‐754 standard 32‐bit and 64‐bit floating‐point
numbers the maximum value of the exponent is 127 (respectively, 1023),
and the number of mantissa bits including the implicit bit is 24 (re‐
spectively, 53).)
