(Equality) Compareision of float/float or float/double are
machine dependent (depends even on x86 on the generated code
(SSE/SSE2/AVX/AVX2), rounding settings, maybe event the cpu
vendor etc.).
On other platforms (ARM, etc) it could be even more weird.
The General rule is not to compare floats for equality, (is
0.0==-0.0, etc.). Use a epsilon based comparision scheme instead
or a wrapper around it.
