For values above integer accuracy in floats, val - floor(val) might
actually produce a value greater than 1. For such large floats, it's
reasonable to be imprecise, but it's unreasonable for FRC to return a
value that is not between 0 and 1.

I don't understand the math behind this. For any such large number, as
far as I can tell floor(val) == val and hence the end result ought to be
zero. Or doesn't your floor work like that?

I could be thinking about this backwards, but let's say that floats
lose integer precision at 10.0. And I do floor(12.5)... normally this
would be 12.0, but since that's not exactly representable, it might
actually be 11.0. (Or would it be 11.9987? I didn't consider that
possibility...) And then 12.5 - 11 = 1.5. Or am I thinking about this
backwards? I guess ideally I'd do something along the lines of y = x -
floor(x); return y - floor(y). That seems like it might be more
accurate... not sure.

If your float is large enough that the next closest float is more than
1.0 away, then that float would have been an exact integer, thus floor()
doing nothing.

Roland's right -- it takes less mantissa bits to represent an integer x, than a fractional number between x and x + 1

The only case where `frac(x) = x - floor(x)` fails is when x is a negative denormal. It might give 1.0f instead of 0.0f, if the hardware is not setup to flush denormals to zero properly.
