Seeding Bias Test
/*
* Seeding Bias Test
*
* - Runs through all possible seeds and examines the output for
* bias. Doing so is only practical for 32-bit (or less) seeds
* and 32-bit (or less) output.
*
* Compilation note:
*
* - You need to define the following preprocessor symbols to compile this

Xoshiro256** Bad Repeats Demonstration
/*
* Xoshiro256** Bad Repeats Demonstration
*
* gcc -std=c99 -Wall -o xoshiro-bad-repeats xoshiro-bad-repeats.c
* ./xoshiro-bad-repeats | less
*
* In a PRNG the size of Xoshiro256**, we should expect about 10 "5-in-7"
* repeats. Xoshiro256** has more than 18 billion billion of them, which
* is rather too many. In fact, the number of bad repeats is larger than
* the 2**64 range of the generator!
// badseed:
// Provides examples showing std::seed_seq is not a bijection
// i.e., that some seeds get repeated for different inputs
// and thus some other seeds must never be generated
