From 7aa3a0579962ef00880987050164c64c948c9f14 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: gdt Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2008 00:48:25 +0000 Subject: Don't define RANDOM_MAX on systems that have already defined it. (At present, only NetBSD-current is known to do this.) Improve the comment explaining the situation. git-svn-id: http://gnuradio.org/svn/gnuradio/trunk@8034 221aa14e-8319-0410-a670-987f0aec2ac5 --- gnuradio-core/src/lib/general/random.h | 12 +++++++++--- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'gnuradio-core/src/lib/general/random.h') diff --git a/gnuradio-core/src/lib/general/random.h b/gnuradio-core/src/lib/general/random.h index c5f6683de..c643c3e42 100644 --- a/gnuradio-core/src/lib/general/random.h +++ b/gnuradio-core/src/lib/general/random.h @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ /* -*- c++ -*- */ /* - * Copyright 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc. + * Copyright 2003, 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc. * * This file is part of GNU Radio * @@ -23,9 +23,15 @@ #ifndef _RANDOM_H_ #define _RANDOM_H_ -// we use this because some systems (solaris) define RAND_MAX as 32767 +// While rand(3) specifies RAND_MAX, random(3) says that the output +// ranges from 0 to 2^31-1 but does not specify a macro to denote +// this.
