4 /* This program primarily tests the correct functioning of srandom()
5 and setstate(). The strategy is generate and store a set of random
6 sequences, each with a specified starting seed. Then each sequence
7 is regenerated twice and checked against the stored values.
8
9 First they are regenerated one sequence at a time, using srandom()
10 to set the initial state. A discrepency here would suggest that
11 srandom() was failing to completely initialize the random number
12 generator.
13
14 Second the sequences are regenerated in an interleaved order.
15 A state vector is created for each sequence using initstate().
16 setstate() is used to switch from sequence to sequence during
17 the interleaved generation. A discrepency here would suggest
18 a problem with either initstate() failing to initialize the
19 random number generator properly, or the failure of setstate()
20 to correctly save and restore state information. Also, each
21 time setstate() is called, the returned value is checked for
22 correctness (since we know what it should be).
23
24 Note: We use default state vector for sequence 0 and our own
25 state vectors for the remaining sequences. This is to give a check
26 that the value returned by initstate() is valid and can indeed be
27 used in the future. */

29 /* Strategy:
30 1. Use srandom() followed by calls on random to generate a set of
31 sequences of values.
32 2. Regenerate and check the sequences.
33 3. Use initstate() to create new states.
34 4. Regenerate the sequences in an interleaved manner and check.
