           Summary: Not constant RAND_MAX
           Product: D

I think the std.c.stdlib.RAND_MAX (core.stdc.stdlib.RAND_MAX) value is hardcoded in Phobos, in a line of the two "stdlib.d" files:

enum RAND_MAX     = 32767;

If this is true, then it's an error, because in other systems rand() may return other values. In particular, on an Ubuntu Linux I have seen RAND_MAX needs to be int.max instead of short.max. So this value has to change according to the situation.

On ubuntu it is 2147483647.

It still must be hardcoded, as it is a compile time constant, but version'd for the different platforms.

Having a quick look round, it is 0x7FFFFFFF on FreeBSD and OSX too. (Hexadecimal value for 2147483647).

std.c.stdlib now just contains a public import of core.stdc.stdlib, so I'm reassigning this report to druntime.  I've also fixed it in my druntime fork and sent a pull request:
