I'm a bit confused about the parameter I have to deliver to -frandom -seed. My manual page states it must be a number, others say it's a string. If I browse through the sources of gcc, it's also not not obvious to me. https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=blob;f=gcc/common.opt;hb=HEAD https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=blob;f=gcc/po/de.po;hb=HEAD So what's the correct parameter ffor -frandom-seed? A number (decimal/hex) or a string? Regards, Stephan
