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 initialized 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 zeroth 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 zeroth 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 this many 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.
