In addition to the standard 52 * rand()/srand() like interface, this package also has a special state info 53 * interface. The initstate() routine is called with a seed, an array of 54 * bytes, and a count of how many bytes are being passed in; this array is 55 * then initialized to contain information for random number generation with 56 * that much state information. Good sizes for the amount of state 57 * information are 32, 64, 128, and 256 bytes. The state can be switched by 58 * calling the setstate() routine with the same array as was initiallized 59 * with initstate(). By default, the package runs with 128 bytes of state 60 * information and generates far better random numbers than a linear 61 * congruential generator. If the amount of state information is less than 62 * 32 bytes, a simple linear congruential R.N.G. is used. 63 * 64 * Internally, the state information is treated as an array of longs; the 65 * zeroeth element of the array is the type of R.N.G. being used (small 66 * integer); the remainder of the array is the state information for the 67 * R.N.G. Thus, 32 bytes of state information will give 7 longs worth of 68 * state information, which will allow a degree seven polynomial. (Note: 69 * the zeroeth word of state information also has some other information 70 * stored in it -- see setstate() for details). 71 * 72 * The random number generation technique is a linear feedback shift register 73 * approach, employing trinomials (since there are fewer terms to sum up that 74 * way). In this approach, the least significant bit of all the numbers in 75 * the state table will act as a linear feedback shift register, and will 76 * have period 2^deg - 1 (where deg is the degree of the polynomial being 77 * used, assuming that the polynomial is irreducible and primitive). The 78 * higher order bits will have longer periods, since their values are also 79 * influenced by pseudo-random carries out of the lower bits. The total 80 * period of the generator is approximately deg*(2**deg - 1); thus doubling 81 * the amount of state information has a vast influence on the period of the 82 * generator. Note: the deg*(2**deg - 1) is an approximation only good for 83 * large deg, when the period of the shift is the dominant factor. 84 * With deg equal to seven, the period is actually much longer than the 85 * 7*(2**7 - 1) predicted by this formula. 86 * 87 * Modified 28 December 1994 by Jacob S. Rosenberg. 88 * The following changes have been made: 89 * All references to the type u_int have been changed to unsigned long. 90 * All references to type int have been changed to type long. Other 91 * cleanups have been made as well. A warning for both initstate and 92 * setstate has been inserted to the effect that on Sparc platforms 93 * the 'arg_state' variable must be forced to begin on word boundaries. 94 * This can be easily done by casting a long integer array to char *. 95 * The overall logic has been left STRICTLY alone. This software was 96 * tested on both a VAX and Sun SpacsStation with exactly the same 97 * results. The new version and the original give IDENTICAL results. 98 * The new version is somewhat faster than the original. As the 99 * documentation says: "By default, the package runs with 128 bytes of 100 * state information and generates far better random numbers than a linear 101 * congruential generator. If the amount of state information is less than 102 * 32 bytes, a simple linear congruential R.N.G. is used." For a buffer of 103 * 128 bytes, this new version runs about 19 percent faster and for a 16 104 * byte buffer it is about 5 percent faster. 105 */ 106 107/* 108 * For each of the currently supported random number generators, we have a 109 * break value on the amount of state information (you need at least this 110 * many bytes of state info to support this random number generator), a degree 111 * for the polynomial (actually a trinomial) that the R.N.G. is based on, and 112 * the separation between the two lower order coefficients of the trinomial. 113 */ 114#define TYPE_0 0 /* linear congruential */ 115#define BREAK_0 8 116#define DEG_0 0 117#define SEP_0 0 118 119#define TYPE_1 1 /* x**7 + x**3 + 1 */ 120#define BREAK_1 32 121#define DEG_1 7 122#define SEP_1 3 123 124#define TYPE_2 2 /* x**15 + x + 1 */ 125#define BREAK_2 64 126#define DEG_2 15 127#define SEP_2 1 128 129#define TYPE_3 3 /* x**31 + x**3 + 1 */ 130#define BREAK_3 128 131#define DEG_3 31 132#define SEP_3 3 133 134#define TYPE_4 4 /* x**63 + x + 1 */ 135#define BREAK_4 256 136#define DEG_4 63 137#define SEP_4 1 138 139/* 140 * Array versions of the above information to make code run faster -- 141 * relies on fact that TYPE_i == i. 142 */ 143#define MAX_TYPES 5 /* max number of types above */ 144 145static long degrees[MAX_TYPES] = { DEG_0, DEG_1, DEG_2, DEG_3, DEG_4 }; 146static long seps [MAX_TYPES] = { SEP_0, SEP_1, SEP_2, SEP_3, SEP_4 }; 147 148/* 149 * Initially, everything is set up as if from: 150 * 151 * initstate(1, randtbl, 128); 152 * 153 * Note that this initialization takes advantage of the fact that srandom() 154 * advances the front and rear pointers 10*rand_deg times, and hence the 155 * rear pointer which starts at 0 will also end up at zero; thus the zeroeth 156 * element of the state information, which contains info about the current 157 * position of the rear pointer is just 158 * 159 * MAX_TYPES * (rptr - state) + TYPE_3 == TYPE_3. 160 */ 161 162static long randtbl[DEG_3 + 1] = { 163 TYPE_3, 164#ifdef USE_WEAK_SEEDING 165/* Historic implementation compatibility */ 166/* The random sequences do not vary much with the seed */ 167 0x9a319039, 0x32d9c024, 0x9b663182, 0x5da1f342, 0xde3b81e0, 0xdf0a6fb5, 168 0xf103bc02, 0x48f340fb, 0x7449e56b, 0xbeb1dbb0, 0xab5c5918, 0x946554fd, 169 0x8c2e680f, 0xeb3d799f, 0xb11ee0b7, 0x2d436b86, 0xda672e2a, 0x1588ca88, 170 0xe369735d, 0x904f35f7, 0xd7158fd6, 0x6fa6f051, 0x616e6b96, 0xac94efdc, 171 0x36413f93, 0xc622c298, 0xf5a42ab8, 0x8a88d77b, 0xf5ad9d0e, 0x8999220b, 172 0x27fb47b9, 173#else /* !USE_WEAK_SEEDING */ 174 0x991539b1, 0x16a5bce3, 0x6774a4cd, 0x3e01511e, 0x4e508aaa, 0x61048c05, 175 0xf5500617, 0x846b7115, 0x6a19892c, 0x896a97af, 0xdb48f936, 0x14898454, 176 0x37ffd106, 0xb58bff9c, 0x59e17104, 0xcf918a49, 0x09378c83, 0x52c7a471, 177 0x8d293ea9, 0x1f4fc301, 0xc3db71be, 0x39b44e1c, 0xf8a44ef9, 0x4c8b80b1, 178 0x19edc328, 0x87bf4bdd, 0xc9b240e5, 0xe9ee4b1b, 0x4382aee7, 0x535b6b41, 179 0xf3bec5da 180#endif /* !USE_WEAK_SEEDING */ 181}; 182 183/* 184 * fptr and rptr are two pointers into the state info, a front and a rear 185 * pointer.
