Commit Message

Janne Blomqvist Aug. 11, 2019, 9:37 a.m. UTC
Update the PRNG from xorshift1024* to xoshiro256** by the same
author. For details see

http://prng.di.unimi.it/

and the paper at

https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.01407

Also the seeding is slightly improved, by reading only 8 bytes from
the operating system and using the simple splitmix64 PRNG to fill in
the rest of the PRNG state (as recommended by the xoshiro author),
instead of reading the entire state from the OS.

Regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, Ok for trunk?

Thanks, committed to trunk (with a minor bugfix I noticed). I
backported the initialization changes to the gcc9 and gcc8 branches as
well with the attached patch.
