Handling overflow when casting doubles to integers in C

Question

Today, I noticed that when I cast a double that is greater than the maximum possible integer to an integer, I get -2147483648. Similarly, when I cast a double that is less

Answer 1

limits.h has constants for max and min possible values for integer data types, you can check your double variable before casting, like

if (my_double > nextafter(INT_MAX, 0) || my_double < nextafter(INT_MIN, 0))
    printf("Overflow!");
else
    my_int = (int)my_double;

EDIT: nextafter() will solve the problem mentioned by nwellnhof
