rand_xorshift

Implements the Xorshift random number generator.

The Xorshift[^1] algorithm is not suitable for cryptographic purposes but is very fast. If you do not know for sure that it fits your requirements, use a more secure one such as StdRng or OsRng.

Crate Features

rand_xorshift is no_std compatible. It does not require any functionality outside of the core lib, thus there are no features to configure.

The serde1 feature includes implementations of Serialize and Deserialize for the included RNGs.
