mt_srand() will work. But what would be in the array? Integers from which the upper 32 bits, if they exist, are discarded?
mt19937ar.c contains init_by_array. Compability with that would probably be a good goal, unless someone can point out another widely used implementation.
Would mt_srand([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]) set the same seed on 32 and 64 bit machines?
Of course it would. Or let's phrase it this way: can you think of any reason why it shouldn't? -- Lauri Kenttä
