I can not reproduce this bug on 32-bit linux biulds of OOo (tested on Slackware-
13.1, Fedora-14, Ubuntu-10.04).
So, OS field has been changed to Windows.
I can not agree that the problem is OS, not the OOo build for Windows.
The Linux Programmers Guide says that the rand() function returns a pseudo-
random integer in the range [0, RAND_MAX]. MSDN has similar description.
Current OOo Basic RND implementation doesn't contain any differences for
Win/Lin:
basic/source/runtime/methods.cxx
RTLFUNC(Rnd)
{
(void)pBasic;
(void)bWrite;
if ( rPar.Count() > 2 )
StarBASIC::Error( SbERR_BAD_ARGUMENT );
else
{
double nRand = (double)rand();
nRand = ( nRand / (double)RAND_MAX );
rPar.Get(0)->PutDouble( nRand );
}
}
So, the only reason is used C/C++ compiler runtime: rand() returns [0;RAND_MAX)
on Linux and [0;RAND_MAX] on Windows.
May be (quick and dirty)
#IFDEF (<something_unique_for_this_win_compiler>)
// srand() returns [0;RAND_MAX]
nRand = ( nRand / ((double)RAND_MAX + 1.));
#ELSE
// srand() returns [0;RAND_MAX)
nRand = ( nRand / (double)RAND_MAX );
#ENDIF
32766/32767 = 0,999969481
32766/32768 = 0,999938965
32767/32768 = 0,999969482
And if we can agree with maximum RND values 0,999938965 on Linux and
0,999969482
on Windows, too more dirty:
nRand = ( nRand / ((double)RAND_MAX + 1.));
