Hi,
The pseudo random number generator for glib has landed. It is implemented
in the file grand.c. Remaining issues are:
1. Is it possible to make glib dependent on '-lm' (the math lib), I would
like to add code to generate a normal distributed (as opposed to a
equal distributed random number). I need the math lib for that. The
code is uncommented for the time being. I'm willing to remove it, if
-lm is unwelcome (what I can perfectly comprehend).
2. An open question is the technique to get an integer in a certain range.
Can we use a rand % max or do we have to use the code as it is now
(going through doubles). I've heard many different opinions on that.
Now it's 'save and slow'.
3. I have added a passus to the AUTHORS file. I hope this is ok.
Bye,
Sebastian
