If a patch fixes a bug, then just attach it to the bug report.  The patch tracker is really intended for additions or changes that are new features, not so much bug fixes.

This fixes bug #41742 (<- just to have a link here).

  • liboctave/numeric/randmtzig.c: rewrite randu32() to multiply 2^-32 with a

  random number from 1 to LASTLINT, where LASTLINT is the greatest integer n
  for which (float)(2^-32 * n) < 1.0. Use static assertions to back up this
  claim.

---

Additionally, a test file randfloat_gnu.c is provided, which was used during development.
