In addition to the standard 51 * rand()/srand() like interface, this package also has a special state info 52 * interface. The initstate() routine is called with a seed, an array of 53 * bytes, and a count of how many bytes are being passed in; this array is 54 * then initialized to contain information for random number generation with 55 * that much state information. Good sizes for the amount of state 56 * information are 32, 64, 128, and 256 bytes. The state can be switched by 57 * calling the setstate() routine with the same array as was initiallized 58 * with initstate(). By default, the package runs with 128 bytes of state 59 * information and generates far better random numbers than a linear 60 * congruential generator. If the amount of state information is less than 61 * 32 bytes, a simple linear congruential R.N.G. is used. 62 * 63 * Internally, the state information is treated as an array of longs; the 64 * zeroeth element of the array is the type of R.N.G. being used (small 65 * integer); the remainder of the array is the state information for the 66 * R.N.G. Thus, 32 bytes of state information will give 7 longs worth of 67 * state information, which will allow a degree seven polynomial. (Note: 68 * the zeroeth word of state information also has some other information 69 * stored in it -- see setstate() for details). 70 * 71 * The random number generation technique is a linear feedback shift register 72 * approach, employing trinomials (since there are fewer terms to sum up that 73 * way). In this approach, the least significant bit of all the numbers in 74 * the state table will act as a linear feedback shift register, and will 75 * have period 2^deg - 1 (where deg is the degree of the polynomial being 76 * used, assuming that the polynomial is irreducible and primitive). The 77 * higher order bits will have longer periods, since their values are also 78 * influenced by pseudo-random carries out of the lower bits. The total 79 * period of the generator is approximately deg*(2**deg - 1); thus doubling 80 * the amount of state information has a vast influence on the period of the 81 * generator. Note: the deg*(2**deg - 1) is an approximation only good for 82 * large deg, when the period of the shift register is the dominant factor. 83 * With deg equal to seven, the period is actually much longer than the 84 * 7*(2**7 - 1) predicted by this formula. 85 * 86 * Modified 28 December 1994 by Jacob S. Rosenberg. 87 * The following changes have been made: 88 * All references to the type u_int have been changed to unsigned long. 89 * All references to type int have been changed to type long. Other 90 * cleanups have been made as well. A warning for both initstate and 91 * setstate has been inserted to the effect that on Sparc platforms 92 * the 'arg_state' variable must be forced to begin on word boundaries. 93 * This can be easily done by casting a long integer array to char *. 94 * The overall logic has been left STRICTLY alone. This software was 95 * tested on both a VAX and Sun SpacsStation with exactly the same 96 * results. The new version and the original give IDENTICAL results. 97 * The new version is somewhat faster than the original. As the 98 * documentation says: "By default, the package runs with 128 bytes of 99 * state information and generates far better random numbers than a linear 100 * congruential generator. If the amount of state information is less than 101 * 32 bytes, a simple linear congruential R.N.G. is used." For a buffer of 102 * 128 bytes, this new version runs about 19 percent faster and for a 16 103 * byte buffer it is about 5 percent faster. 104 */ 105 106/* 107 * For each of the currently supported random number generators, we have a 108 * break value on the amount of state information (you need at least this 109 * many bytes of state info to support this random number generator), a degree 110 * for the polynomial (actually a trinomial) that the R.N.G. is based on, and 111 * the separation between the two lower order coefficients of the trinomial. 112 */ 113#define TYPE_0 0 /* linear congruential */ 114#define BREAK_0 8 115#define DEG_0 0 116#define SEP_0 0 117 118#define TYPE_1 1 /* x**7 + x**3 + 1 */ 119#define BREAK_1 32 120#define DEG_1 7 121#define SEP_1 3 122 123#define TYPE_2 2 /* x**15 + x + 1 */ 124#define BREAK_2 64 125#define DEG_2 15 126#define SEP_2 1 127 128#define TYPE_3 3 /* x**31 + x**3 + 1 */ 129#define BREAK_3 128 130#define DEG_3 31 131#define SEP_3 3 132 133#define TYPE_4 4 /* x**63 + x + 1 */ 134#define BREAK_4 256 135#define DEG_4 63 136#define SEP_4 1 137 138/* 139 * Array versions of the above information to make code run faster -- 140 * relies on fact that TYPE_i == i. 141 */ 142#define MAX_TYPES 5 /* max number of types above */ 143 144static long degrees[MAX_TYPES] = { DEG_0, DEG_1, DEG_2, DEG_3, DEG_4 }; 145static long seps [MAX_TYPES] = { SEP_0, SEP_1, SEP_2, SEP_3, SEP_4 }; 146 147/* 148 * Initially, everything is set up as if from: 149 * 150 * initstate(1, randtbl, 128); 151 * 152 * Note that this initialization takes advantage of the fact that srandom() 153 * advances the front and rear pointers 10*rand_deg times, and hence the 154 * rear pointer which starts at 0 will also end up at zero; thus the zeroeth 155 * element of the state information, which contains info about the current 156 * position of the rear pointer is just 157 * 158 * MAX_TYPES * (rptr - state) + TYPE_3 == TYPE_3. 159 */ 160 161static long randtbl[DEG_3 + 1] = { 162 TYPE_3, 163#ifdef USE_WEAK_SEEDING 164/* Historic implementation compatibility */ 165/* The random sequences do not vary much with the seed */ 166 0x9a319039, 0x32d9c024, 0x9b663182, 0x5da1f342, 0xde3b81e0, 0xdf0a6fb5, 167 0xf103bc02, 0x48f340fb, 0x7449e56b, 0xbeb1dbb0, 0xab5c5918, 0x946554fd, 168 0x8c2e680f, 0xeb3d799f, 0xb11ee0b7, 0x2d436b86, 0xda672e2a, 0x1588ca88, 169 0xe369735d, 0x904f35f7, 0xd7158fd6, 0x6fa6f051, 0x616e6b96, 0xac94efdc, 170 0x36413f93, 0xc622c298, 0xf5a42ab8, 0x8a88d77b, 0xf5ad9d0e, 0x8999220b, 171 0x27fb47b9, 172#else /* !USE_WEAK_SEEDING */ 173 0x991539b1, 0x16a5bce3, 0x6774a4cd, 0x3e01511e, 0x4e508aaa, 0x61048c05, 174 0xf5500617, 0x846b7115, 0x6a19892c, 0x896a97af, 0xdb48f936, 0x14898454, 175 0x37ffd106, 0xb58bff9c, 0x59e17104, 0xcf918a49, 0x09378c83, 0x52c7a471, 176 0x8d293ea9, 0x1f4fc301, 0xc3db71be, 0x39b44e1c, 0xf8a44ef9, 0x4c8b80b1, 177 0x19edc328, 0x87bf4bdd, 0xc9b240e5, 0xe9ee4b1b, 0x4382aee7, 0x535b6b41, 178 0xf3bec5da 179#endif /* !USE_WEAK_SEEDING */ 180}; 181 182/* 183 * fptr and rptr are two pointers into the state info, a front and a rear 184 * pointer.
