# Tests for the :Ox variable modifier, which returns the words of the
# variable, shuffled.
#
# As of 2020-08-16, make uses random(3) seeded by the current time in seconds.
# This makes the random numbers completely predictable since there is no other
# part of make that uses random numbers.

NUMBERS=	one two three four five six seven eight nine ten

# Note that 1 in every 10! trials two independently generated
# randomized orderings will be the same.  The test framework doesn't
# support checking probabilistic output, so we accept that each of the
# 3 :Ox tests will incorrectly fail with probability 2.756E-7, which
# lets the whole test fail once in 1.209.600 runs, on average.

# Create two shuffles using the := assignment operator.

shuffled2:=	${NUMBERS:Ox}
.if ${shuffled1} == ${shuffled2}

shuffled1:=	${NUMBERS:O:Ox}
shuffled2:=	${NUMBERS:O:Ox}

.  error ${shuffled1} == ${shuffled2}

# Sorting after shuffling must produce the original numbers.
