I already answered Markus and thanked him for the note. I think that it should be straight forward to use conditional compilation to use long long for gcc compilers and __int64 for windows. It sounds like there really are other people out there who would like to see this version fly, so I hope you all have time in the future to make it work for lots of different platforms! Patience, persistence, truth,=20 Dr. mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Markus Walther" <Mar...@as...> To: <ro...@ne...> Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2002 10:00 AM Subject: randtest 1.0 feedback Hi Mike I had a look at your 'randtest' SW because a year ago I was checking the NIST random test suite and this test suite didn't convince me. One thing was that it was difficult to build the test suite on a Windows platform which is actually the platform we have to use. I tried to build randtest with MS Visual Studio 6.0. I attach to this mail the output of the building process. Most warnings are easy to remove. These are removed in the attached source files. I suggest to write for every module a source and a header file. This makes it a lot easier to re-use the code later. I could not build the software MS Visual Studio 6.0 because the compiler does not support the 'long long' type definition. So far I didn't find out if it is really necessary to to have 64 bit intgers or not. A workaround for Microsofts Visual Studio compiler would be to use the '__int46' type. I hope this helps.
