Why not ask the CPU to do the rounding? This is what Intel offers in
volume 1 of the Intel ® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's
Manual:
4.8.4.1
Rounding Control (RC) Fields
In the Intel 64 and IA-32 architectures, the rounding mode is controlled
by a 2-bit rounding-control (RC)

Floats can represent 1.5 exactly.
Of course I do know how the binary representation of floats is done on
X86 and similar architectures, and hence that same provides a bit
combination that exactly defines 1.5.
That is why I did say *relying* on the
