This package provides access to an operating system resource
(cryptographic numbers) and so needs to be replaced with a TinyGo
version that does this in a different way.
I've made the following choices while adding this feature:
- I'm using the getentropy call whenever possible (most POSIX like
systems), because it is easier to use and more reliable. Linux is
the exception: it only added getentropy relatively recently.
- I've left bare-metal implementations to a future patch. This because
it's hard to reliably get cryptographically secure random numbers on
embedded devices: most devices do not have a hardware PRNG for this
purpose.
- Explicitly list all test cases. This makes it possible to store
tests in testdata/ that aren't tested on all platforms.
- Clean up filesystem and env test, by running them in a subtest and
deduplicating some code and removing the additionalArgs parameter.
