In ob-C.el, line 339 has the format specifier
(`floatp '("double" "%f"))
to print literal floats. However, that format specifier rounds, which
can result in errors. I think the correct approach is to print the
float without rounding or padding or trying to guess at the desired
accuracy (and let the compiler do whatever is needed):
(`floatp '("double" "%s"))
Attached is a patch with a test that illustrates the problem (it fails
on HEAD but passes with the patch).

Makes sense. Thanks!

Please add comment explaining why not %f. Otherwise, it is not fully
clear why "%s" is used.

Please move the source block directly into the test using
`org-test-with-temp-text'. The test will be more readable then.
`org-test-at-id' should better be used only when necessary in order to
not jump back and forth when debugging tests.

Subject: [PATCH] lisp/ob-C.el: replace %f with %s to prevent unneeded rounding
* lisp/ob-C.el (org-babel-C-val-to-C-type): Floats should be printed
as string literals to prevent rounding introduced by %f format.
* testing/lisp/test-ob-C.el (ob-C/float-var): Test that floats are not
rounded when passed as an org :var.
