From 95aff702b5e4b21ec277b1e0125f639ce30f997a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kenji Rikitake Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2015 14:27:26 +0200 Subject: stdlib: Add new random functionality/module 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. --- lib/stdlib/src/Makefile | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'lib/stdlib/src/Makefile') diff --git a/lib/stdlib/src/Makefile b/lib/stdlib/src/Makefile index 1b3744b6fb..c983f0ed87 100644 --- a/lib/stdlib/src/Makefile +++ b/lib/stdlib/src/Makefile @@ -104,6 +104,7 @@ MODULES= \ qlc \ qlc_pt \ queue \ + rand \ random \ sets \ shell \ -- cgit v1.2.3
