Fix for inaccurate statement in the haddock about 32/64 bit architectures

lehins commented 2 years ago

We recently where able to run the test suite on different architectures:

64bit s390x (Big Endian)
32bit Armv7,
and of course 32/64bit Intel x86_64/i386

A couple of new tests explicitly verify that the byte sequence produced by StdGen is architecture independent. These tests passed on all of those architectures. This gives me quite a bit of confidence that the statement "in order to get predictability the build has to be done on the same architecture (32-bit or 64-bit)" is not accurate. Please let me know if anyone thinks otherwise.

@lehins I've been able to setup i386 and arm64 CIs on drone.io for another project. Do you think it's a good addition?

Do you think it's a good addition?

For a project like random, absolutely!
