For example, srand 0;print int(rand(99)) for 0..9 must always yield 023647263525973192
This outputs correctly for me:
use warnings;
use strict;
my_srand(0);
print int(my_rand(99)) for 0..9;
sub my_srand {
use Win32::API;
my $srand = Win32::API::More->new(
'msvcrt', 'void srand(unsigned int seed)'
) or die "Error: ".Win32::FormatMessage(Win32::GetLastError());
$srand->Call($_[0]);
}
sub my_rand {
my $rand = Win32::API::More->new(
'msvcrt', 'int rand()'
) or die "Error: ".Win32::FormatMessage(Win32::GetLastError());
return int(($rand->Call()) * $_[0] / 32767);
}
It outputs
023647263525973192
The only problem is that it calls
my_srand and
my_rand, but I gather that the requirement is that it instead call
srand and
rand.
I don't know how/if the builtin
srand and
rand can be overridden to point to
my_srand and
my_rand.
Cheers,
Rob
