-- Extended pseudo-random number generation
-- This package provides a type representing pseudo-random number generators,
-- and subprograms to extract various uniform distributions of numbers
-- from them. It also provides types for representing initialization values
-- and snapshots of internal generator state, which permit reproducible
-- pseudo-random streams.
-- The generator currently provided by this package has an extremely long
-- period (at least 2**19937-1), and passes the Big Crush test suite, with the
-- exception of the two linear complexity tests. Therefore, it is suitable
-- for simulations, but should not be used as a cryptographic pseudo-random
-- source without additional processing.
-- Note: this package is in the System hierarchy so that it can be directly
-- used by other predefined packages. User access to this package is via
-- the package GNAT.Random_Numbers (file g-rannum.ads), which also extends
-- its capabilities. The interfaces are different so as to include in
-- System.Random_Numbers only the definitions necessary to implement the
-- standard random-number packages Ada.Numerics.Float_Random and
-- Ada.Numerics.Discrete_Random.
-- Note: this package is marked SPARK_Mode Off, because functions Random work
-- by side-effect to change the value of the generator, hence they should not
-- be called from SPARK code.
