Follow-up Comment #3, bug #58800 (project octave): I can't reproduce the bug here. If I call "test rng" in a loop all 20 tests pass each time. I'm not an expert in that field. And I don't know if it is important that the seed is different each time the rng is shuffled (or the state or seed of "rand" is reset). Maybe a short pause in the BIST is good enough. The documentation of rand contains this: > The state or seed of the generator can be reset to a new random value using the @qcode{"reset"} keyword. The word "new" sounds to me like the seed should be different after consecutive calls. If I recall correctly, Rik was working on the rng in the past. @Rik: Could you please comment on whether it is worth diving deeper into this? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58800> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
