Implements a selection of PCG random number generators.
> PCG is a family of simple fast space-efficient statistically good algorithms
> for random number generation. [Melissa O'Neill, Harvey Mudd College, 2014].
The PCG algorithms are not suitable for cryptographic uses, but perform well
in statistical tests, use little memory and are fairly fast.
See the [pcg-random website](http://www.pcg-random.org/).
This crate depends on [rand_core](https://crates.io/crates/rand_core) and is
part of the [Rand project](https://github.com/rust-random/rand).

## Crate Features
`rand_pcg` 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. NOTE: to use binary serialisation with any of the 64-bit
output (128-bit internal) RNGs, you must add the following dependency, since the
`i128` feature is not current enabled by default (this should be fixed soon):
```
bincode = { version = "1", features = ["i128"] }
```
## License
`rand_pcg` is distributed under the terms of both the MIT license and the
Apache License (Version 2.0).
