+/* nearbyintf is not supposed to be the same as roundf according to openBSD
+ * documentation. Indeed:
+ * - they round halfway cases to the nearest integer instead of away from zero
+ *   (nearbyint(4.5) = 4 while round(4.5) = 5 for example).
+ * - nearbyint is guaranteed never to set floating point flags or trigger
+ *   floating point exceptions (which are disabled by default)
+ *   accroding to openBSD open manual page.
+ *
+ * However, as nearbyintf is required by micropython only, in order to save
+ * space and time (nearbyintf openBSD 6.0 implementation required some other
+ * function implementation), we used roundf. */
