Revision 2a3f669979acd4ca7356c5e046d7019a0d7f504c authored by Rafael Fourquet on 01 October 2023, 15:10:30 UTC, committed by Rafael Fourquet on 12 October 2023, 10:09:28 UTC
The most convenient way to define `seed!` for new RNGs is via an another RNG, with `seed!(rng::AbstractRNG, seeder::AbstractRNG)`. But RNGs want to also support more usual seeds. In order to allow them to only define the method above, a new `SeedHasher` RNG is implemented, whose purpose is to convert an initial given seed into a stream of random numbers. Given that it's not always "safe" to seed an RNG from another RNG, `SeedHasher` uses a strong cryptographic hash (SHA2) to produces random streams. The generic `seed!(rng::AbstractRNG, seed)` method now takes care of forwarding the call to `seed!(rng, SeedHasher(seed))`.
