2016-05-27stdlib: Strengthen or relax test casesBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
In particular, valgrind needs a lot of time for certain tests.
2016-04-25stdlib: Remove use of crypto:rand_bytes/1Ingela Anderton Andin
The use case is not cryptographical but we want to compare Erlang implementation to c implementation so use crypto:strong_rand_bytes anyway.

2016-03-09Eliminate 'suite' and 'doc' clausesBjörn Gustavsson
2016-03-09Eliminate use of test_server:fail/0,1Björn Gustavsson
2016-03-09Modernize use of timetrapsBjörn Gustavsson
Either rely on the default 30 minutes timetrap, or set the timeout using the supported methods in common_test.
2016-02-17Eliminate use of test_server.hrl and test_server_line.hrlBjörn Gustavsson
As a first step to removing the test_server application as as its own separate application, change the inclusion of test_server.hrl to an inclusion of ct.hrl and remove the inclusion of test_server_line.hrl.
2015-12-07Correct rand:export_seed/0 when there is no prior seedBjörn Gustavsson
According to the documentation, rand:export_seed/0 should return 'undefined' if the seed has not been intialized. However, it will create and return a seed. That means that the following code will not work as expected: case rand:export_seed() of undefined -> rand:seen({1,2,3}); _ -> ok end, rand:uniform(Range)
2015-09-11rand_SUITE: Speed up basic_stats/1Björn Gustavsson
Refactor basic_stats/1 into three separate test cases that can be run in parallel.

2015-04-30stdlib: Document and add normal distributed random value functionDan Gudmundsson
It is needed in various tests. It uses the Ziggurat algorithm, which is the fastest that I know.
2015-04-29stdlib: Add new random functionality/moduleKenji Rikitake
The old random module contains an old algorithm which have flaws and the api requires the user to invoke seed and or checking if seed have been invoked, if a non constant seed is to be used. The api contains the following features: - The user can invoke rand:unform/[0|1] directly and get a non constant seeding. - The api is split in functional and non functional functions, i.e. usage of _s functions will not affect the process dictionary. - The api contains several algorithms with different characteristics and can be extended with new algorithms in the future. - Contains state of the art random number generators. - Default algorithm is taylor made for erlang to be fast on 64bits machines.
