As with usual float formats 1.1 can't be represented exactly, the result
can't be considered any precise value.

Turbo Pascal with $N+ rounds like FreePascal. But the default is $N-.
In this mode Turbo Pascal always rounds up.
What exactly does $N in Turbo pascal mean ? Obviously it in this case

The only *reliable* solution appears to be compiling a modified
version of FreePascal.
It would make the round function a lot slower not to simply rely on the
hardware.
And in fact the only *reliable* solution is *not ever* to rely on exact
values

No, it does not depend on the hardware, but on the setting of $N.

Why not ask the CPU to do the rounding? This is what Intel offers in
volume 1 of the Intel ® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's
Manual:
4.8.4.1
Rounding Control (RC) Fields
In the Intel 64 and IA-32 architectures, the rounding mode is controlled
by a 2-bit rounding-control (RC)

Floats can represent 1.5 exactly.
Of course I do know how the binary representation of floats is done on
X86 and similar architectures, and hence that same provides a bit
combination that exactly defines 1.5.
That is why I did say *relying* on the
11 matches
