This is an interesting question -- what guarantees should we make about reproducibility? Is this PR a breaking change altogether, since seeded RNGs may now produce a different
BigUint
? Maybe that's going too far to consider this across crate versions, but if we want it across architectures, we'll also need to be careful in the future about conditionalBigDigit
sizes, for instance. (Right now this is using the publicBigUint::new
though, which should always beu32
-based even if the internals change.)There was a problem hiding this comment.

This may be a value-breaking change (depending on the PRNG used), but I think will usually not be. (Rand does not specify that
fill_bytes
must output the same bits in the same order as repeated calls tonext_u32
, though I think this is the case for all current generators.)
