roundl, lroundl, llroundl is called. Otherwise, if arg has integer type or the type double, round, lround, llround is called. Otherwise, roundf, lroundf, llroundf is called, respectively.Parameters
| arg | - | floating-point value | 
Return value
If no errors occur, the nearest integer value to arg, rounding halfway cases away from zero, is returned.
If a domain error occurs, an implementation-defined value is returned.
Error handling
Errors are reported as specified in math_errhandling.
If the result of lround or llround is outside the range representable by the return type, a domain error or a range error may occur.
If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic (IEC 60559):
-  For the 
round,roundf, androundlfunction:- The current rounding mode has no effect.
 - If arg is ±∞, it is returned, unmodified.
 - If arg is ±0, it is returned, unmodified.
 - If arg is NaN, NaN is returned.
 
 -  For 
lroundandllroundfamilies of functions:- FE_INEXACT is never raised.
 - The current rounding mode has no effect.
 - If arg is ±∞, FE_INVALID is raised and an implementation-defined value is returned
 - If the result of the rounding is outside the range of the return type, FE_INVALID is raised and an implementation-defined value is returned.
 - If arg is NaN, FE_INVALID is raised and an implementation-defined value is returned.
 
 
Notes
FE_INEXACT may be (but isn't required to be) raised by round when rounding a non-integer finite value.
The largest representable floating-point values are exact integers in all standard floating-point formats, so round never overflows on its own; however the result may overflow any integer type (including intmax_t), when stored in an integer variable.
POSIX specifies that all cases where lround or llround raise FE_INVALID are domain errors.
The double version of round behaves as if implemented as follows:
Example
#include <assert.h> #include <fenv.h> #include <float.h> #include <limits.h> #include <math.h> #include <stdio.h> // #pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON double custom_round(double x) { return signbit(x) ? ceil(x - 0.5) : floor(x + 0.5); } void test_custom_round() { const double sample[] = { 0.0, 2.3, 2.5 - DBL_EPSILON, 2.5, 2.5 + DBL_EPSILON, 2.7, INFINITY }; for (size_t t = 0; t < sizeof sample / sizeof(double); ++t) assert(round(+sample[t]) == custom_round(+sample[t]) && round(-sample[t]) == custom_round(-sample[t])); } int main(void) { // round printf("round(+2.3) = %+.1f ", round(2.3)); printf("round(+2.5) = %+.1f ", round(2.5)); printf("round(+2.7) = %+.1f\n", round(2.7)); printf("round(-2.3) = %+.1f ", round(-2.3)); printf("round(-2.5) = %+.1f ", round(-2.5)); printf("round(-2.7) = %+.1f\n", round(-2.7)); printf("round(-0.0) = %+.1f\n", round(-0.0)); printf("round(-Inf) = %+f\n", round(-INFINITY)); test_custom_round(); // lround printf("lround(+2.3) = %+ld ", lround(2.3)); printf("lround(+2.5) = %+ld ", lround(2.5)); printf("lround(+2.7) = %+ld\n", lround(2.7)); printf("lround(-2.3) = %+ld ", lround(-2.3)); printf("lround(-2.5) = %+ld ", lround(-2.5)); printf("lround(-2.7) = %+ld\n", lround(-2.7)); printf("lround(-0.0) = %+ld\n", lround(-0.0)); printf("lround(-Inf) = %+ld\n", lround(-INFINITY)); // FE_INVALID raised // error handling feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT); printf("lround(LONG_MAX+1.5) = %ld\n", lround(LONG_MAX + 1.5)); if (fetestexcept(FE_INVALID)) puts(" FE_INVALID was raised"); }
Possible output:
round(+2.3) = +2.0  round(+2.5) = +3.0  round(+2.7) = +3.0
round(-2.3) = -2.0  round(-2.5) = -3.0  round(-2.7) = -3.0
round(-0.0) = -0.0
round(-Inf) = -inf
lround(+2.3) = +2  lround(+2.5) = +3  lround(+2.7) = +3
lround(-2.3) = -2  lround(-2.5) = -3  lround(-2.7) = -3
lround(-0.0) = +0
lround(-Inf) = -9223372036854775808
lround(LONG_MAX+1.5) = -9223372036854775808
