Gilles commented on MATH-1300:
------------------------------
bq. BTW the spaceroots's implementation of MersenneTwister was the reference to
me.
If you found a discrepancy between CM and Mantissa, we should leave the creator
of Mantissa and the main CM developer to discuss that between themselves. :D
> BitsStreamGenerator#nextBytes(byte[]) is wrong
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MATH-1300
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1300
> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.5
> Reporter: Rostislav Krasny
> Attachments: MersenneTwister2.java, TestMersenneTwister.java
>
>
> Sequential calls to the BitsStreamGenerator#nextBytes(byte[]) must generate
> the same sequence of bytes, no matter by chunks of which size it was divided.
> This is also how java.util.Random#nextBytes(byte[]) works.
> When nextBytes(byte[]) is called with a bytes array of length multiple of 4
> it makes one unneeded call to next(int) method. This is wrong and produces an
> inconsistent behavior of classes like MersenneTwister.
> I made a new implementation of the BitsStreamGenerator#nextBytes(byte[]) see
> attached code.
