It seems that the 'official' way of rounding BIUs is something like:
fval < 0 ? fval - 0.5 : fval + 0.5
i.e. 'away from zero', since the double-to-int C is a truncation (i.e. 'toward
to zero'')...
what is the rationale for this? is this to preserve, for example, the usual
symmetry of packages?
I am afraid I do not really understand your question.
In float to integer conversions, rounding creates a smaller error than
truncating.
And truncating fval < 0 ? fval - 0.5 : fval + 0.5 is the right way to round a
value that must be converted to integer BIU.
By the way, your recent issue when reading your board file in kicad nanometer
version is a truncating issue,
when scaling float values read in files to integer internal units.
When using rounding conversion instead of truncating, it happens no more.
