Hi,
What is the implementation of rand() on say visual c/c++ 5 or 6 ?
Another question... is this rand() implementation the same on any other
platforms/compilers/libraries ?
Where can I find/look at the implementation of rand() ?
Thx for any help.
Bye,
Skybuck.

Well I have moved this discussion to sci.crypt etc... since it is more
relevant there...
See the thread:
'Hunt for rand and srand implementations '
So far I have found no implementations for visual c/c++ 6.0 (I think... I
should retry the ones I found ;) )
I did find IBM_AIX and POSIX implementations ...
Any other implementations are welcome especially for redhat, debian, etc...
I am not sure if those are the same...
Any links for finding linux source code for those distributions on the web
like cvs etc are welcome ;)
Bye,
Skybuck.

If you hadn't commented I would never have noticed. I wouldn't
have regretted that either. To the tune of "That's what plonks are
for".

You having pulling this "verbose mode enabled" thing in various newsgroups
for years, that's not news.
See the thread:
'Hunt for rand and srand implementations '
Look, if you want a decent random number generator, and you don't
trust the one that comes with your compiler, google for "mersenne twister".
If you need one good enough for crypto, that's not it. Instead, take it
up with the gurus in sci.crypt. Either way, it's OT here.
So far I have found no implementations for visual c/c++ 6.0 (I think... I
should retry the ones I found ;) )
The compiler comes with source code for the C runtime library. If you
installed your compiler with the source (or go back and reinstall it now),
just like in VC98\CRT\SRC\ra nd.c under whatever you directory you installed
the compiler to. You should know this already.
I did find IBM_AIX and POSIX implementations ...
You think PRNG's care about the OS?
Any other implementations are welcome especially for redhat, debian, etc...
I am not sure if those are the same...
*sigh*

I decided to write a pure Python hashcash implementation. I have seen
David McNab's Python implementation. Unfortunately, as near as I can
tell (which is supported on the hashcash mailing list archive), McNab
actually implements a different algorithm than hashcash. It might (or
might not) be equivalent in security; but I cannot see any directly
way to transform what he computes into an actual hashcash stamp.

This is "free-as-in-liberty" and "free-as-in-beer" code.
The Mersenne Twister is a "random number" generator invented by Makoto
Matsumoto and Takuji Nishimura; their website includes numerous
implementations of the algorithm.

Hi all,
I'm writing a shell language in c++ that supports the generation of
random numbers, and by its nature, each command must be executed in a
new thread. The call to the random function from my language simply
propogates up to the rand( ) function from c++. For some reason, C++
will give each thread independent use of their own rand( ) function, so
that a rand( ) call from one thread won't affect another thread's call
to rand( )....

Hi,
Given the pseudocode explanation of the Kahan algorithm at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahan_summation_algorithm, I tried to
implement it in C. It is supposed to minimize the effect of base
conversion errors after repeated sum operations.
However, the effect is null. The rounding error persists without
change.
My implementation is:

Do you have an example of an implementation where

sizeof(long int) does not divide sizeof(long long int) ?
Same question for the corresponding unsigned types.

Hi all,
rand() is not thread safe, a fact that may not be so bad after all..
However, I face the following problem: a piece of code uses rand() to
get a random sequence, but always seeds with the same seed for
reproducibility of the results. Now I am porting this (old C89) code
and have setup a nice app with threads that drives on one thread the
old code and on another the new code, so that I can compare the
results and see that nothing...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
