In addition to the standard + rand()/srand() like interface, this package also has a special state info + interface. The initstate() routine is called with a seed, an array of + bytes, and a count of how many bytes are being passed in; this array is + then initialized to contain information for random number generation with + that much state information. Good sizes for the amount of state + information are 32, 64, 128, and 256 bytes. The state can be switched by + calling the setstate() function with the same array as was initiallized + with initstate(). By default, the package runs with 128 bytes of state + information and generates far better random numbers than a linear + congruential generator. If the amount of state information is less than + 32 bytes, a simple linear congruential R.N.G. is used. Internally, the + state information is treated as an array of longs; the zeroeth element of + the array is the type of R.N.G. being used (small integer); the remainder + of the array is the state information for the R.N.G. Thus, 32 bytes of + state information will give 7 longs worth of state information, which will + allow a degree seven polynomial. (Note: The zeroeth word of state + information also has some other information stored in it; see setstate + for details). The random number generation technique is a linear feedback + shift register approach, employing trinomials (since there are fewer terms + to sum up that way). In this approach, the least significant bit of all + the numbers in the state table will act as a linear feedback shift register, + and will have period 2^deg - 1 (where deg is the degree of the polynomial + being used, assuming that the polynomial is irreducible and primitive). + The higher order bits will have longer periods, since their values are + also influenced by pseudo-random carries out of the lower bits. The + total period of the generator is approximately deg*(2**deg - 1); thus + doubling the amount of state information has a vast influence on the + period of the generator. Note: The deg*(2**deg - 1) is an approximation + only good for large deg, when the period of the shift register is the + dominant factor. With deg equal to seven, the period is actually much + longer than the 7*(2**7 - 1) predicted by this formula. */ + + + +/* For each of the currently supported random number generators, we have a + break value on the amount of state information (you need at least thi + bytes of state info to support this random number generator), a degree for + the polynomial (actually a trinomial) that the R.N.G. is based on, and + separation between the two lower order coefficients of the trinomial. */ + +/* Linear congruential. */ +#define TYPE_0 0 +#define BREAK_0 8 +#define DEG_0 0 +#define SEP_0 0 + +/* x**7 + x**3 + 1. */ +#define TYPE_1 1 +#define BREAK_1 32 +#define DEG_1 7 +#define SEP_1 3 + +/* x**15 + x + 1. */ +#define TYPE_2 2 +#define BREAK_2 64 +#define DEG_2 15 +#define SEP_2 1 + +/* x**31 + x**3 + 1. */ +#define TYPE_3 3 +#define BREAK_3 128 +#define DEG_3 31 +#define SEP_3 3 + +/* x**63 + x + 1. */ +#define TYPE_4 4 +#define BREAK_4 256 +#define DEG_4 63 +#define SEP_4 1 + + +/* Array versions of the above information to make code run faster. + Relies on fact that TYPE_i == i. */ + +#define MAX_TYPES 5 /* Max number of types above. */ + +static int degrees[MAX_TYPES] = { DEG_0, DEG_1, DEG_2, DEG_3, DEG_4 }; +static int seps[MAX_TYPES] = { SEP_0, SEP_1, SEP_2, SEP_3, SEP_4 }; + + + +/* Initially, everything is set up as if from: + initstate(1, randtbl, 128); + Note that this initialization takes advantage of the fact that srandom + advances the front and rear pointers 10*rand_deg times, and hence the + rear pointer which starts at 0 will also end up at zero; thus the zeroeth + element of the state information, which contains info about the current + position of the rear pointer is just + (MAX_TYPES * (rptr - state)) + TYPE_3 == TYPE_3. */ + +static long int randtbl[DEG_3 + 1] = + { + TYPE_3, + -851904987, -43806228, -2029755270, 1390239686, -1912102820, + -485608943, 1969813258, -1590463333, -1944053249, 455935928, 508023712, + -1714531963, 1800685987, -2015299881, 654595283, -1149023258, + -1470005550, -1143256056, -1325577603, -1568001885, 1275120390, + -607508183, -205999574, -1696891592, 1492211999, -1528267240, + -952028296, -189082757, 362343714, 1424981831, 2039449641, + }; + +/* FPTR and RPTR are two pointers into the state info, a front and a rear + pointer.
