even if FPC implemented a ultra high tech PRNG it would be compatible with DELPHI :
1 - Delphi asserts that you should not use the Random function to encryption porpuses. 2 - Delphi asserts no speed guarantees. 3 - Delphi asserts no randomness quality guarantees. IE : to be compatible you only need the function to have the same calling parameters and result type. Formally, in that case, even this would be "compatible" : Function Random(): Real; Begin Result := 4; { i throwed a dice to reach that result ! } End; 2011/12/9 Graeme Geldenhuys <graemeg.li...@gmail.com>: > On 9 December 2011 12:42, Jonas Maebe > wrote: >> >> It will improve the randomness of the generated numbers. > > Thanks Jonas. > > > > -- > Regards, > - Graeme - > > > _______________________________________________ > fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit > http://fpgui.sourceforge.net > _______________________________________________ > fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org > http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
