/* An improved random number generation package. 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 initiallized
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 zeroeth 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 zeroeth 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 thi
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. */
