FYI, this change
double random(double min, double max)
{
- return floor(((double)rand() / ((unsigned int)RAND_MAX + 1)) * (max - min + 1) + min);
+ return comphelper::rng::uniform_real_distribution(min, max);
}
in sc/source/core/opencl/opencl_device.cxx has made the opencl cppunit
test run extremely slow, if not hanging. I think I waited about 5
minutes before deciding to Ctrl-C. Switching it back to the rand()
based solution makes the test run normally.
