Ichthyostega 0b9e184fa3 Library: replace usages of `rand()` in the whole code base * most usages are drop-in replacements * occasionally the other convenience functions can be used * verify call-paths from core code to identify usages * ensure reseeding for all tests involving some kind of randomness... __Note__: some tests were not yet converted, since their usage of randomness is actually not thread-safe. This problem existed previously, since also `rand()` is not thread safe, albeit in most cases it is possible to ignore this problem, as ''garbled internal state'' is also somehow „random“		2024-11-13 04:23:46 +01:00

GUI backbone tests

The tests in this subtree are a bit special: they cover the generic and
backbone internals of the Lumiera GTK GUI. They are linked against the
complete GUI-module (gui plugin), and thus may use all related ABIs.

Yet these tests are *deliberately* compiled without any GTK, GTKmm or SigC
includes. This effectively rules out the use, even indirectly, of any GTK
widgets and APIs -- forcing the covered GUI backbone entities to stay
clean and generic at API level.

This is a decision done on purpose. The concrete GUI framework technology
shall be treated as an implementation detail. There is no point in writing
tests which click buttons in the GUI -- better delegate any significant
logic or functionality to GUI agnostic components. GUI is meant to be
a presentation layer and must not develop intelligence on its own.
