--  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.
