Re: 63/64 bit version of Delphi's function random( aRange : integer ) : integer; ?

Well I just wrote some other very cool and very amazing and very interesting
code.

This time it simply counts all unique values that are generated.

I am actually using my bit operation routines for the first time which I
wrote a long time ago...

I have used them before but not as intensively as this test..

It was quite cool I actually had to modify the code a bit so it uses
longwords instead of integers. Otherwise a strange access violation occurs
;)

The code however is too cool too share :D lol.

Right now it's running, maybe it's a bit slow... but so be it ;)

Someday I'll find a way to run it faster.

It's now at

progress: 22.0% Unique Results:944.892.740

So it still has a long way to go..

It will probably be done in a few minutes.

Quite cool stuff...

Now that I have 4 gigabytes of memory and 64 bit processor and 64 bit
operating system.... Delphi is already feeling quite limited.

I actually had to use my own routines because Delphi's class is not suited
to do what I want however I will remain a bit vague about what I am doing ;)
:P*

I think the planned release on the time table for Delphi 64 bit is waaay too
far away.

Borland must hurry to develop a 64 bit edition of delphi otherwise I might
start losing a lot of customers garantueed !

2008 is way too far away for a 64 bit version of delphi.

Even end of 2006 is way too far away !

My advice is: ASAP !

Absolutely.

Bye,

I am dead serious you know !!!
