=============================
Rule ``random_api_migration``
=============================

Replaces ``rand``, ``srand``, ``getrandmax`` functions calls with their ``mt_*``
analogs or ``random_int``.

.. warning:: Using this rule is risky.

   Risky when the configured functions are overridden. Or when relying on the
   seed based generating of the numbers.

Configuration
-------------

``replacements``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mapping between replaced functions with the new ones.

Allowed types: ``array``

Default value: ``['getrandmax' => 'mt_getrandmax', 'rand' => 'mt_rand', 'srand' => 'mt_srand']``

Examples
--------

Example #1
~~~~~~~~~~

*Default* configuration.

.. code-block:: diff

   --- Original
   +++ New
    <?php
   -$a = getrandmax();
   -$a = rand($b, $c);
   -$a = srand();
   +$a = mt_getrandmax();
   +$a = mt_rand($b, $c);
   +$a = mt_srand();

Example #2
~~~~~~~~~~

With configuration: ``['replacements' => ['getrandmax' => 'mt_getrandmax']]``.

.. code-block:: diff

   --- Original
   +++ New
    <?php
   -$a = getrandmax();
   +$a = mt_getrandmax();
    $a = rand($b, $c);
    $a = srand();

Example #3
~~~~~~~~~~

With configuration: ``['replacements' => ['rand' => 'random_int']]``.

.. code-block:: diff

   --- Original
   +++ New
   -<?php $a = rand($b, $c);
   +<?php $a = random_int($b, $c);
