Maybe i should have written > "A user is supposed to seed via srand() if he wan't some > entropy." This is inconsequent. Either we assume that the user will seed srand(), then y should not be initialized at all, so it goes to the BSS segment and does not waste space in the binary image. Or we want to deal with cases where the user doesn call srand(), and then we should provide a bit better than such a static initialization.
