48  * random.c:
49  * An improved random number generation package.  In addition to the standard
50  * rand()/srand() like interface, this package also has a special state info
51  * interface.  The initstate() routine is called with a seed, an array of
52  * bytes, and a count of how many bytes are being passed in; this array is then
53  * initialized to contain information for random number generation with that
54  * much state information.  Good sizes for the amount of state information are
55  * 32, 64, 128, and 256 bytes.  The state can be switched by calling the
56  * setstate() routine with the same array as was initiallized with initstate().
57  * By default, the package runs with 128 bytes of state information and
58  * generates far better random numbers than a linear congruential generator.
59  * If the amount of state information is less than 32 bytes, a simple linear
60  * congruential R.N.G. is used.
61  * Internally, the state information is treated as an array of ints; the
62  * zeroeth element of the array is the type of R.N.G. being used (small
63  * integer); the remainder of the array is the state information for the
64  * R.N.G.  Thus, 32 bytes of state information will give 7 ints worth of
65  * state information, which will allow a degree seven polynomial.  (Note: the
66  * zeroeth word of state information also has some other information stored
67  * in it -- see setstate() for details).
68  * The random number generation technique is a linear feedback shift register
69  * approach, employing trinomials (since there are fewer terms to sum up that
70  * way).  In this approach, the least significant bit of all the numbers in
71  * the state table will act as a linear feedback shift register, and will have
72  * period 2^deg - 1 (where deg is the degree of the polynomial being used,
73  * assuming that the polynomial is irreducible and primitive).  The higher
74  * order bits will have longer periods, since their values are also influenced
75  * by pseudo-random carries out of the lower bits.  The total period of the
76  * generator is approximately deg*(2**deg - 1); thus doubling the amount of
77  * state information has a vast influence on the period of the generator.
78  * Note: the deg*(2**deg - 1) is an approximation only good for large deg,
79  * when the period of the shift register is the dominant factor.  With deg
80  * equal to seven, the period is actually much longer than the 7*(2**7 - 1)
81  * predicted by this formula.
82  */

86 /*
87  * For each of the currently supported random number generators, we have a
88  * break value on the amount of state information (you need at least this
89  * many bytes of state info to support this random number generator), a degree
90  * for the polynomial (actually a trinomial) that the R.N.G. is based on, and
91  * the separation between the two lower order coefficients of the trinomial.
