I was trying to be consistent with
get_concurrency
: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/0a0688e6f51229d2860af6317adaef378f4b45a5/library/test/src/helpers/concurrency.rs#L9But I don't have a strong opinion, and I would be happy to change this.

can we use a proper RNG library like
fastrand
oroorandom
orrand
there is no proof that
state = sip13_hash((state, extra))
is a good RNG.(and additionally
rand_u64() % n
produces biased result)There was a problem hiding this comment.

I tried
rand
andoorandom
actually. In both cases, I gotcan't find crate for core
errors.My impression (based on this, this, and this) is that a crate has to go out of its way to be a dependency of a builtin library. And none of those crates seem to do that. (I could be misunderstanding though.)
Note that
oorandom
barely usescore
, but it does use it forRange
(here).Your points are very well taken. However, I don't think this random number generator needs to be "strong." Put another way, I think the risk of an attacker trying to manipulate the test ordering is low. I am open to counterarguments though.
(Thanks for doing this, BTW.)
