Doubles have a much higher max value than ints, so if the method were to convert all doubles to ints they would not work for double values above 2^31-1.

(It would work, but any value over 2^31-1 passed to such a function would get clamped to 2^31-1)

But there's really no point in flooring a double outside of the range where integers can be represented accurately, is there.

What about two int64_t

yeah that would be pretty effective. could also go to three just to be safe

Make it four, just to be even
