The Go programming language
5aca051494
CL 22730043 fixed a bug in these functions: they could return 1.0 despite documentation saying otherwise. But the fix changed the values returned in the non-buggy case too, which might invalidate programs depending on a particular stream when using rand.Seed(0) or when passing their own Source to rand.New. The example test says: // These tests serve as an example but also make sure we don't change // the output of the random number generator when given a fixed seed. so I think there is some justification for thinking we have promised not to change the values. In any case, there's no point in changing the values gratuitously: we can easily fix this bug without changing the values, and so we should. That CL just changed the test values too, which defeats the stated purpose, but it was just a comment. Add an explicit regression test, which might be a clearer signal next time that we don't want to change the values. Fixes #6721. (again) Fixes #8013.

This is the source code repository for the Go programming language. For documentation about how to install and use Go, visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html in your web browser. After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted doc/install-source.html by running godoc --http=:6060 and then visiting http://localhost:6060/doc/install/source. Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file. -- Binary Distribution Notes If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this README). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path. For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile: export GOROOT=$HOME/go export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin See doc/install.html for more details.
