According to man 3 strtof, it seems there are some cases like:

1. strtof return the converted value as normal
2. strtof return 0 when no conversion is performed, and endptr == nptr:  'rval == 0'
3. strtof return HUGE_VAL or -HUGE_VAL when overflow:      '(rval == HUGE_VAL) || (rval == -HUGE_VAL)'
4. strtof retrun 0 and set errno to ERANGE when underflow:   'errno == ERANGE'


For 2, it seems need to add checking of endptr when 'rval == 0' like:  (rval == 0 && !strcmp(endptr, nptr)
	
Other places seem to be fine.
