Description
The current rand crates included in the playground are:
rand = "=0.7.0"
rand_chacha = "=0.2.1"
rand_core = "=0.5.0"
rand_hc = "=0.2.0"
rand_isaac = "=0.1.1"
rand_jitter = "=0.1.4"
rand_os = "=0.1.3"
rand_pcg = "=0.1.2"
rand_xorshift = "=0.1.1"
I haven't checked all of them, but this makes the Pcg and XorShift RNGs unusable because they are outdated, and they are using an older version of rand_core. E.g.:
use rand_core::SeedableRng;
use rand_pcg::Pcg32;
fn main() {
let _r = Pcg32::seed_from_u64(42);
}
This complains:
error[E0599]: no function or associated item named `seed_from_u64` found for type `rand_pcg::pcg64::Lcg64Xsh32` in the current scope
--> src/main.rs:4:21
|
4 | let _r = Pcg32::seed_from_u64(42);
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ function or associated item not found in `rand_pcg::pcg64::Lcg64Xsh32`

= help: items from traits can only be used if the trait is in scope
help: the following trait is implemented but not in scope, perhaps add a `use` for it:
|
1 | use rand_core::SeedableRng;
|
warning: unused import: `rand_core::SeedableRng`
--> src/main.rs:1:5
|
1 | use rand_core::SeedableRng;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
