      3 # Tests for the :Ox variable modifier, which returns the words of the
      4 # variable, shuffled.

      6 # The variable modifier :Ox is available since 2005-06-01.

      8 # As of 2020-08-16, make uses random(3) seeded by the current time in seconds.
      9 # This makes the random numbers completely predictable since the only other
     10 # part of make that uses random numbers is the 'randomize-targets' mode, which
     11 # is off by default.

     17 # Note that 1 in every 10! trials two independently generated
     18 # randomized orderings will be the same.  The test framework doesn't
     19 # support checking probabilistic output, so we accept that each of the
     20 # 3 :Ox tests will incorrectly fail with probability 2.756E-7, which
     21 # lets the whole test fail once in 1.209.600 runs, on average.
