Backport #929: Array#shuffle does not initialize random seed

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: shyouhei (Shyouhei Urabe)

[jsc (Justin Collins)]

=begin
Unlike calling Kernel#rand, Array#shuffle and Array#shuffle! do not automatically seed the random number generator. This means subsequent runs of the same program will produce the same shuffles unless a separate call is made to Kernel#rand or Kernel#srand.

For example, running just

ruby -e 'p Array.new(50) {|n| n }.shuffle'

will always give the same output.
