rand() use XOR to break up unwanted pair correlation (#1107)
* rand() use XOR to break up unwanted pair correlation

This form of rand() cannot return the same value twice in a row.
Two additonal EOR instructions produce a more even distribution of successive pairs.
see comments on #951

* rand.s document purpose of XOR

* suggested srand() optimization: zero fill unnecessary

* test to validate implementation of rand()

* srand() improving behaviour and adding startup test

* srand() with a tail call to rand() for better initial shuffle

* srand() can fall through to rand() instead of tail call

32d000fb4c Fix broken rand() implementation. The high 8 bits were unused, reducing it to a 24-bit implementation (while still doing all the work for a 32-bit one). The best entropy is in the unused high byte, returning these bits in A instead of bits 8-15, which had considerably lower entropy (i.e. rand() & 255 was effectively a 16-bit LCG). 2016-07-11 20:48:47 -04:00
