Assuming type conversion and order of operations work similarly in C/C++ as it
does in C#, then if right and left are ints,

long a = (right - left) / 2.0;

would be equivalent to 

long a = (long)((double)(right - left) / 2.0);

So first you subtract left from right, then cast that to a double, divide by
2.0, and finally cast THAT to a long. There would be two implicit casts
(int=>double and double=>long), but only the latter would potentially cause
rounding error.

Actually, it would not cause rounding error; it would cause truncation error,
unless your LONG type's implicit cast operator from double is set up to call a
rounding function, since IIRC the default behavior of downcasting like that is
to truncate... perhaps the issue is actually the fact that you're not calling a
rounding function?
