Re: [flint-devel] randpoly

[William H. <ha...@ya...>]

Do you mean every time you run the program, or every
time you generate a random polynomial.

If you mean the former, then you could modify randint
to start with a global seed value (or values).

At present it always starts with the seed values
4035456057 and 6748392731 which need to be coprime to
4294967311 and 4294967357 respectively. 

You could provide a function called z_random_seed or
something like that which crunched away with the
current time in milliseconds and came up with two 32
bit numbers which are coprime to those two values.

If you do modify this function, can you ensure that if
the seed function is not called that it uses the
defaults that it currently uses, and also ensure that
you make it work for 32 bit and 64 bit machines
(you'll see there is separate code for both at
present).
