Maybe only a semantic irritation, maybe not.
You imagine to use double in terms of IEEE double precision floats but
your actual used type is uint64_t. Then you switch the CAIRO_FIXED_BITS
from 32 to 52. It does not fit well. uint64_t is 64 bit not 52. INT64_MIN
is for uint64_t and so on.
Why do you think the _cairo_fixed_from_double() trick might be necessary?
kind regards
