Fischer, August 21, 2000 + Placed in the public domain. */ + +/* This program primarily tests the correct functioning of srandom() + and setstate(). The strategy is generate and store a set of random + sequences, each with a specified starting seed. Then each sequence + is regenerated twice and checked against the stored values. + + First they are regenerated one sequence at a time, using srandom() + to set the initial state. A discrepency here would suggest that + srandom() was failing to completely initialize the random number + generator. + + Second the sequences are regenerated in an interleaved order. + A state vector is created for each sequence using initstate(). + setstate() is used to switch from sequence to sequence during + the interleaved generation. A discrepency here would suggest + a problem with either initstate() failing to initialize the + random number generator properly, or the failure of setstate() + to correctly save and restore state information. Also, each + time setstate() is called, the returned value is checked for + correctness (since we know what it should be). + + Note: We use default state vector for sequence 0 and our own + state vectors for the remaining sequences. This is to give a check + that the value returned by initstate() is valid and can indeed be + used in the future. */ + +/* Strategy: + 1. Use srandom() followed by calls on random to generate a set of + sequences of values. + 2. Regenerate and check the sequences. + 3. Use initstate() to create new states. + 4.
