Synopsis
#include <flint/mpn_extras.h>void flint_mpn_rrandom(mp_ptr rp, flint_rand_t state, mp_size_t n)sourcevoid flint_mpn_rrandomb(mp_ptr rp, flint_rand_t state, flint_bitcnt_t n)sourceSet (\mathit{rp}, n), respectively (\mathit{rp}, \lceil n/\mathtt{FLINT\_BITS} \rceil) with an n-bit value, to a random integer with long runs of zeros and ones in its binary representation. Such numbers trigger corner cases (carry propagation, near-overflow) more often than uniform ones and are used in tests.
