* Forbid unsafe code in crates without unsafe code This helps tools like `cargo geiger`. * Make `Uniform` constructors return a result - This is a breaking change. - The new error type had to be made public, otherwise `Uniform` could not be extended for user-defined types by implementing `UniformSampler`. - `rand_distr` was updated accordingly. - Also forbid unsafe code for crates where none is used. Fixes #1195, #1211. * Address review feedback * Make `sample_single` return a `Result` * Fix benchmarks * Small fixes * Update src/distributions/uniform.rs
rand_pcg
Implements a selection of PCG random number generators.
PCG is a family of simple fast space-efficient statistically good algorithms for random number generation. [Melissa O'Neill, Harvey Mudd College, 2014].
The PCG algorithms are not suitable for cryptographic uses, but perform well in statistical tests, use little memory and are fairly fast. See the pcg-random website.
This crate depends on rand_core and is part of the Rand project.
