Issue #16827 has been reported by mrkn (Kenta Murata). ---------------------------------------- Feature #16827: C API for writing custom random number generator that can be used as Random objects https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16827 * Author: mrkn (Kenta Murata) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) ---------------------------------------- I want to write custom random number generators (RNGs) that can be used as an alternative to a Random object. Now custom RNGs with `#rand` method can be used for that purpose, but there is the method call overhead in the current implementation because `#rand` method is called through `rb_funcallv_public`. I want C API for writing RNGs because all of the random number generator algorithms I want to write are originally written in C. Nobu already created [a pull-request](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/3024) for such purpose. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe: <mailto:ruby-core-request@ruby-lang.org?subject=unsubscribe> <http://lists.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ruby-core>
