This patch refactors the test suite: - Instead of always generating the documentation with the available rustdoc version, we now store generated documentation for all supported rustdoc versions in the test/html directory. - Instead of using one snapshot per test case, we now use one snapshot per test case and rustdoc version.

|
||
<p>PRNG implementations are allowed to assume that bits in the seed are
|
||
well distributed. That means usually that the number of one and zero
|
||
bits are roughly equal, and values like 0, 1 and (size - 1) are unlikely.
|
||
Note that many non-cryptographic PRNGs will show poor quality output
|
||
if this is not adhered to. If you wish to seed from simple numbers, use
|
||
<code>seed_from_u64</code> instead.</p>
|
||
<p>All PRNG implementations should be reproducible unless otherwise noted:
|
||
given a fixed <code>seed</code>, the same sequence of output should be produced
|
||
on all runs, library versions and architectures (e.g. check endianness).
|
||
Any "value-breaking" changes to the generator should require bumping at
|
||
least the minor version and documentation of the change.</p>
|
||
<p>It is not required that this function yield the same state as a
|
||
reference implementation of the PRNG given equivalent seed; if necessary
|
||
another constructor replicating behaviour from a reference
|
||
implementation can be added.</p>
|
||
<p>PRNG implementations should make sure <code>from_seed</code> never panics. In the
|
||
case that some special values (like an all zero seed) are not viable
|
||
seeds it is preferable to map these to alternative constant value(s),
|
||
for example <code>0xBAD5EEDu32</code> or <code>0x0DDB1A5E5BAD5EEDu64</code> ("odd biases? bad
|
||
seed"). This is assuming only a small number of values must be rejected.</p>

<p>This may be useful when needing to rapidly seed many PRNGs from a master

PRNG, and to allow forking of PRNGs. It may be considered deterministic.</p>
|
||
<p>The master PRNG should be at least as high quality as the child PRNGs.
|
||
When seeding non-cryptographic child PRNGs, we recommend using a
|
||
different algorithm for the master PRNG (ideally a CSPRNG) to avoid
|
||
correlations between the child PRNGs. If this is not possible (e.g.
|
||
forking using small non-crypto PRNGs) ensure that your PRNG has a good

mixing function on the output or consider use of a hash function with
|

<code>from_seed</code>.</p>

<p>Note that seeding <code>XorShiftRng</code> from another <code>XorShiftRng</code> provides an

extreme example of what can go wrong: the new PRNG will be a clone

of the parent.</p>
|
||
<p>PRNG implementations are allowed to assume that a good RNG is provided

for seeding, and that it is cryptographically secure when appropriate.
