critical impact:

random, srandom, setstate, initstate - require header file (CrCh59)

Problem description

The Tru64 UNIX and HP-UX header files for the random, srandom, setstate, and initstate functions are different.

The random, srandom, setstate, and initstate routines generate a pseudo-random number.

On Tru64 UNIX, no header file is required. On HP-UX, the following header file is required:

#include <stdlib.h>

Identifiers

initstate

random

setstate

srandom

Solution description

Modify application code.

You must include the <stdlib.h> header file in your application. Review applicable reference pages and code for more detail.
