Judging from the function name ("strtod_nol_or_err", which seems in line with 
the standard "strtof"/"strtod"/"strtold" conversion functions), the function 
returns a double value. Depending on the specific code, it could be 
encountering inconsistencies comparing a double to a float (non-double) 
constant due to the difference in types' precision.

Cheers,
