[Dev-C++] Problems (?) with rand/srand

[<and...@su...>]

Dear Users,

   I´m working with srand/rand functions
to generate random values.

   I have three functions that call rand()
and these functions are defined inside a
.cpp file that belongs to a project.

   The file with main(), that calls these
three functions, is another file that also
belongs to this project. The calls are made
inside a fast loop.

   The first attempt to generate pure random
numbers was using srand((unsigned) time(&t))
at in the file with main(). t is a variable
of type time_t. I got the same sequence of
results, that is, rand() did behave as no
previous srand() was called.


   The second attempt to generate pure random
numbers was using srand((unsigned) time(&t))
inside the three functions at the first time
the functions were called. The results obtained
presented the following behaviour:
   a) running directly: the same results;
   b) debuging step-by-step (with time intervals
      greater than 1 second): I got the expected
      results. I credit this to variable t, which
      could get different arguments.

   My question is:
   If my attempts were correct, in the point of view
   of achieve my goal, does anybody know how can I
   solve this? :-)))

Regards
Andre
