Thanks for the tip. After a quick search, I came across this page,
which explains it:

I'm not sure I understand this. As far as I know, 0.0 can be
represented exactly in a floating point type. So the statement
"if (value == 0.0)" should always be true if value is exactly 0.0.

I'm not really concerned about "value = 0.1 - 0.1" not resulting in 0.0.
It is more of a case where value was explicitly initialised to 0.0 and
then later used in the equality comparison.

Thanks.
