Fixed AN575 INT24 routine (round floating point to 24 bit integer)

by Nikolai Golovchenko

I've found also a few more problems with the [AN575] INT24 routine:

1) when AEXP==0, which means zero floating number, but AARGB0:1 is not zero, return will be incorrect. So AARGB0:1 have to be cleared in that case.

2) problem with overflow checking (for example -32769 (0x8e8001) will result in 0xC78e, instead of 0x8000)

There is really something wrong with rounding. They teach in school that if a number is in the middle between two integers, the highest by absolute value is taken. For example, MATLAB has four rounding functions: 

ROUND - round to closest integer (like in school)
FIX - round towards zero (ignore fractional part)
CEIL - round towards plus infinity
FLOOR - round towards minus infinity

let x = [-1:0.25:1]

» x = [-1:0.25:1]
x =
    -1 -0.75  -0.5 -0.25     0  0.25   0.5  0.75     1
» round(x)
ans =
    -1    -1    -1     0     0     0     1     1     1
» fix(x)
ans =
    -1     0     0     0     0     0     0     0     1
» ceil(x)
ans =
    -1     0     0     0     0     1     1     1     1
» floor(x)
ans =
    -1    -1    -1    -1     0     0     0     0     1

I assume that the INT24 routine should implement ROUND function. But why there is a check for AARGB1.0 (LSb of integer result)?...

[Here is] a fixed version (I hope) of INT24 routine (fpint.asm).
