From a cursory
git grep
this removes the last part ofcore
that requires on@
(other thanio
and the task local data section).It renames
RandRes
toStdRngIsaacRng
andXorShiftState
toXorShiftRng
as well as moving their constructors to static methods. To go with this, it addsrng()
which is designed to be used when the programmer just wants a random number generator, without caring about which exact algorithm is being used.It also removes all the
gen_int
,gen_uint
,gen_char
(etc) methods onRngUtil
(by moving the defintions to the actualRand
instances). The replacement is usingRngUtil::gen
, either type-inferred or with an annotation (rng.gen::<uint>()
).I tried to have the
Rng
andRngUtil
traits exported bycore::prelude
(sincecore::rand
(except forrandom()
) is useless without them), but this caused an explosion of (seemingly unrelated)error: unresolved import
's.
