Yes, glibc is under suspicion. There are several indications ...


If you can't get random_r() to work (see eg
http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_1.2.0/gLSB/baselib-random-r-3.html

I am trying to implement random_r function. This is my try:

### prueba.c #####################################################
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>

    int32_t r;
    struct random_data rand_data;

    int main(int argc, char ** argv) {
        random_r(&rand_data, &r);
        printf("%d\n", (int)r);

        return (0);
    }
### prueba.c (the end) ###########################################


But I obtain this result:

    # gcc prueba.c -o prueba -Wall -pedantic
    # ./prueba
    Segmentation fault

I am doing something wrong. Any hint?

Thanks!

Yes your not defining a value for r. Then your definition of a type of integer is not the way to do it. You define a structure and then use it wrong. Other than that it's fine.
