[RFC] [Under Discussion] Random Extension 4.0

It's been a while Internals. I'm Go Kudo. First of all, I would like to apologize for leaving my previous RFC, object scoped RNG, and the preliminary RFC, split random extension, without any progress. The implementation of these RFCs was not sophisticated and failed to be tested for a long time. In particular, we could not find the time to work on them on Windows, and they were abandoned. You may have noticed that my email address has changed. This is because I have been assigned to work on this RFC and implementation as part of my company. This has given me the equipment and time to debug in a variety of environments. Some people may have a negative impression about this change, but don't worry. The RFC is still in the form of a feature proposal, and all rights are reserved by the PHP Group. Before we get into the RFC, let me explain again how this RFC came to be proposed. First, I started to implement an object-level scoped RNG in PHP to solve the current issue. This is still available in PECL today. https://pecl.php.net/package/orng https://github.com/zeriyoshi/php-ext-orng Later, I found in the PHP Internals ML logs that an implementation of RNG with object-level scoping had been considered before, and was well received at the time. However, it seems that the actual implementation was not done at that time. https://externals.io/message/98021#98130 After that, I started the first RFC and Vote. The result was a Decline, but that was mainly due in part to the strange APIs. https://wiki.php.net/rfc/object_scope_prng The refreshed RFC and implementation are available at the following URL: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/rng_extension https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/8094 If there are no specific comments, I would like to start voting as soon as the two-week pre-announcement phase is over. Regards. Go Kudo
