//! A distribution uniformly sampling numbers within a given range.
//!
//! [`Uniform`] is the standard distribution to sample uniformly from a range;
//! e.g. `Uniform::new_inclusive(1, 6)` can sample integers from 1 to 6, like a
//! standard die. [`Rng::gen_range`] supports any type supported by
//! [`Uniform`].
//!
//! This distribution is provided with support for several primitive types
//! (all integer and floating-point types) as well as [`std::time::Duration`],
//! and supports extension to user-defined types via a type-specific *back-end*
//! implementation.
//!
//! The types [`UniformInt`], [`UniformFloat`] and [`UniformDuration`] are the
//! back-ends supporting sampling from primitive integer and floating-point
//! ranges as well as from [`std::time::Duration`]; these types do not normally
//! need to be used directly (unless implementing a derived back-end).
//!
//! # Example usage
//!
//! ```
//! use rand::{Rng, thread_rng};
//! use rand::distributions::Uniform;
//!
//! let mut rng = thread_rng();
//! let side = Uniform::new(-10.0, 10.0);
//!
//! // sample between 1 and 10 points
//! for _ in 0..rng.gen_range(1..=10) {
//!     // sample a point from the square with sides -10 - 10 in two dimensions
//!     let (x, y) = (rng.sample(side), rng.sample(side));
//!     println!("Point: {}, {}", x, y);
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! # Extending `Uniform` to support a custom type
//!
//! To extend [`Uniform`] to support your own types, write a back-end which
//! implements the [`UniformSampler`] trait, then implement the [`SampleUniform`]
//! helper trait to "register" your back-end. See the `MyF32` example below.
//!
//! At a minimum, the back-end needs to store any parameters needed for sampling
//! (e.g. the target range) and implement `new`, `new_inclusive` and `sample`.
//! Those methods should include an assert to check the range is valid (i.e.
//! `low < high`). The example below merely wraps another back-end.
//!
//! The `new`, `new_inclusive` and `sample_single` functions use arguments of
//! type SampleBorrow<X> in order to support passing in values by reference or
//! by value. In the implementation of these functions, you can choose to
//! simply use the reference returned by [`SampleBorrow::borrow`], or you can choose
//! to copy or clone the value, whatever is appropriate for your type.
//!

/// [`Uniform::new`] and [`Uniform::new_inclusive`] construct a uniform
/// distribution sampling from the given range; these functions may do extra
/// work up front to make sampling of multiple values faster. If only one sample
/// from the range is required, [`Rng::gen_range`] can be more efficient.
///
/// When sampling from a constant range, many calculations can happen at
/// compile-time and all methods should be fast; for floating-point ranges and
/// the full range of integer types this should have comparable performance to
/// the `Standard` distribution.
///
/// Steps are taken to avoid bias which might be present in naive
/// implementations; for example `rng.gen::<u8>() % 170` samples from the range
/// `[0, 169]` but is twice as likely to select numbers less than 85 than other
/// values. Further, the implementations here give more weight to the high-bits
/// generated by the RNG than the low bits, since with some RNGs the low-bits
/// are of lower quality than the high bits.
///
/// Implementations must sample in `[low, high)` range for
/// `Uniform::new(low, high)`, i.e., excluding `high`. In particular, care must
/// be taken to ensure that rounding never results values `< low` or `>= high`.
///

/// ```

// What follows are all back-ends.


/// The back-end implementing [`UniformSampler`] for integer types.
///
/// Unless you are implementing [`UniformSampler`] for your own type, this type
/// should not be used directly, use [`Uniform`] instead.
///
/// # Implementation notes
///
/// For simplicity, we use the same generic struct `UniformInt<X>` for all
/// integer types `X`. This gives us only one field type, `X`; to store unsigned
/// values of this size, we take use the fact that these conversions are no-ops.
///
/// For a closed range, the number of possible numbers we should generate is
/// `range = (high - low + 1)`. To avoid bias, we must ensure that the size of
/// our sample space, `zone`, is a multiple of `range`; other values must be
/// rejected (by replacing with a new random sample).
///
/// As a special case, we use `range = 0` to represent the full range of the
/// result type (i.e. for `new_inclusive($ty::MIN, $ty::MAX)`).
///
/// The optimum `zone` is the largest product of `range` which fits in our
/// (unsigned) target type. We calculate this by calculating how many numbers we
/// must reject: `reject = (MAX + 1) % range = (MAX - range + 1) % range`. Any (large)
/// product of `range` will suffice, thus in `sample_single` we multiply by a
/// power of 2 via bit-shifting (faster but may cause more rejections).
///
/// The smallest integer PRNGs generate is `u32`. For 8- and 16-bit outputs we
/// use `u32` for our `zone` and samples (because it's not slower and because
/// it reduces the chance of having to reject a sample). In this case we cannot
/// store `zone` in the target type since it is too large, however we know
/// `ints_to_reject < range <= $unsigned::MAX`.
///
/// An alternative to using a modulus is widening multiply: After a widening
/// multiply by `range`, the result is in the high word. Then comparing the low
/// word against `zone` makes sure our distribution is uniform.
