Follow-up Comment #8, bug #54619 (project octave): Rik, Discussion of "correctness" of random number generators has a long history and has not been particularly helpful. The idea of a "perfect" random number generator appears to be wishful thinking. However, using the C++ implementation for this case seems a reasonable choice combined with the option of backward compatibility as you point out. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54619> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
