Description
Summary
Remove small_rng
feature, thus enabling SmallRng
by default and in all builds.
Motivation
Less complexity. Removes a trip-hazard for new users: #1225
If I remember correctly, the motivation for feature-gating adding small_rng
was to remove a dependency from builds which don't use it. Later, we decided to add std_rng
for the same reason (even though ThreadRng
requires it).
We now define the two possible implementations of SmallRng
in crate (around 250 LoC). If we changed the impl again, we'd very likely continue to do so (it would be unlikely to use more code).
The additional (small) cost is that SmallRng
must be compiled in all builds; linking should remove unused code thus not affecting binary size.
