Now that we opportunistically randomize the context on creation if
`rand-std` is enabled it would be nice to encourage users who do not
wish to use `rand-std` to randomize the context. We already have an API
to do this but it requires a separate call to do so. Instead of adding a
bunch of additional constructors elect to add documentation to the
current constructors guiding users towards randomization.
We recently implemented opportunistic randomization of the context
object if the the `rand-std` feature is enabled. Both for the global
context and also for signing context constructors.
Add documentation about `rand-std` feature in relation to the context
object.
Instead of providing a mechanism for users to opt out of randomization
we can just feature gate the call site i.e., opportunistically randomize
the global context on creation if `rand-std` feature is enabled.
2732891359 Change rand to rand-std in lib.rs documentation (Vincent Liao)
Pull request description:
I copy-pasted the key-generation example written on the documentation, but it didn't work. It only worked when I used the feature `rand-std` instead of `rand`.
To reproduce, boot up a new Rust project, and add this to main.rs:
```
use secp256k1::rand::rngs::OsRng;
use secp256k1::{Secp256k1, Message};
use secp256k1::hashes::sha256;
let secp = Secp256k1::new();
let mut rng = OsRng::new().expect("OsRng");
let (secret_key, public_key) = secp.generate_keypair(&mut rng);
let message = Message::from_hashed_data::<sha256::Hash>("Hello World!".as_bytes());
let sig = secp.sign_ecdsa(&message, &secret_key);
assert!(secp.verify_ecdsa(&message, &sig, &public_key).is_ok());
```
Using this dependencies causes error: `secp256k1 = {version="0.21.2", features=["rand", "bitcoin_hashes"]}`. After replacing `rand` with `rand-std`, it works.

Seems there is a bug in cargo, the tests in `key.rs` run successfully
but AFAICT they should fail. Here is an example, running `cargo test
--features=rand` should make this test fail but it doesn't?
```
/// Secret 256-bit key used as `x` in an ECDSA signature.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// Basic usage:
///
/// ```
/// # #[cfg(all(feature = "rand", any(feature = "alloc", feature = "std")))] {
/// use secp256k1::{rand, Secp256k1, SecretKey};
///
/// let secp = Secp256k1::new();
/// let secret_key = SecretKey::new(&mut rand::thread_rng());
/// # }
/// ```
Anywho, use the correct feature gate: `rand-std`.
Various combinations of features trigger lint warnings for unused code,
all warnings are caused by incorrect feature gating.
Correct feature gating to remove Clippy warnings during testing.
Currently various features fail to build when enabled without default
features. This is because many tests need feature gating.
Feature gating the import statements quickly turns into spaghetti when
trying to cover all combinations of two features correctly, instead just
allow unused imports on `tests` modules where needed.
Add correct feature requirements to the examples so they also can be run
without default features.
Improve the CI script by doing:
- Add `std` to the feature matrix.
- Add `--no-default-features` to test runs in the CI script.
The `Debug` implementation for secrets is feature gated on `std` because
it uses a hasher from `std`. If `bitcoin_hashes` is enabled we can use
it for hashing. If neither `std` nor `bitcoin_hashes` is enabled fall
back to outputting:
<secret requires std or bitcoin_hashes feature to display>
Remove the docs conditional since we now implement `Debug` always.

Pull request description:
This PR is an initial attempt to more thoroughly test our public API.
Add examples to various types/methods/functions in the key module.
I'm not entirely sure when is enough, do we want an example on every single public method, function, and type or is this overkill. In this PR I tried to find a balance by doing ever method/function that took an argument that is a custom type from this lib. I think this should be extended to include return values too though ...
Thanks to @thomaseizinger for the idea!

We recently patched much of the docs in the `key` module, lets attempt
to attain perfection.
Improve docs by doing:
- Use full stops
- Use 100 character column width
- Use plural third person tense
- Use plural for section headings
- Fix any grammar mistakes
- Use code ticks and links as appropriate
Done in an effort to better test our public API.
Add tests in the `Examples` section as is idiomatic in the Rust
ecosystem.
Make other minor improvements to any rusdocs we touch:
- Use full stops
- Use 100 character column width
- Use plural third person tense
- Use plural for section headings
Improve method docs by doing:
- Remove 'batch' comment
- Remove mention of required features, docs already show this
- Use links to types as well as ticks
Recently we made a wee mess with the `Parity` opaque type. Let's fix it
up by doing:
- Use an enum with variants `Even` and `Odd`.
- Add explicit conversion methods to/from u8 and i32
- Implement `BitXor`
Note: This patch is an API breaking change that does _not_ follow the
deprecation guidelines. Rust does not allow deprecating `From` impl
blocks AFAICT.

Recently we deprecated a bunch of methods/functions. We are still
calling them in test code. Found by Clippy.
Use the shiny new methods/functions instead of the deprecated ones.
We have deprecated all other functions that use the identifier
'schnorrsig' but we missed `generate_schnorrsig_keypair`.
This function is purely a helper function and serves no real purpose
other than to reduce two lines of code to a single line. Downstream
users can write this function themselves if they need it.
Also, we recently added a new public method to `KeyPair` to get the
public key in a slightly more ergonomic fashion. Use `kp.public_key()`
when replacing usage of now deprecated `generate_schnorrsig_keypair`
function.
Currently to get the `XOnlyPublicKey` from a `KeyPair` users must do
`XOnlyPublicKey::from_keypair(&kp)`. While this does the job we can make
the lib more ergonomic by providing a method directly on `KeyPair` that
calls through to `XOnlyPublicKey::from_keypair`.
Add method `KeyPair::public_key(&self)`.

Previously only `global-context-less-secure` was shown in the doc even
though `global-context` may also work. This was strictly correct because
`global-context` implies `global-context-less-secure` which is also
documented but people could miss it or forget about it and then worry
about security or worse, enable less secure feature.
Calling out both fetures seems useful, even important and thankfully
doesn't seem to cause too much noise in the docs.
Currently we have an implementation of `Debug` (also used by `Display`)
for `Signature` that first converts the sig to a `SerializedSignature`
then prints it as hex.
We would like to have an implementation of `Debug` for
`SerializedSignature`, this cannot be derived because of the `data: [u8;
field]`. We can manually implement `Debug` for `SerializedSignature`
exactly as it is currently done for `Signature` and call this new
implementation from `Signature::fmt()`.
This code path is already tested in `lib.rs` in the test function
`signature_display`.
Rustc can warn us when we forget to add `Copy` and `Deubg` trait
implementations to types.
Add lint directives to enable warnings for missing `Copy` and `Debug`
implementations. Use the newly emitted warnings to find types that do
not implement our 'standard' traits. These 'standard' traits are defined
as the set of attributes that it has been found beneficial to
opportunistically add to all types, these are
- Copy
- Clone
- Debug
- PartialEq and Eq
- PartialOrd and Ord
- Hash

This documents the Cargo features making sure docs.rs shows warning for
feature-gated items. They are also explicitly spelled out in the crate
documentation.
It is not immediately apparent what 'err == 1' means, one must determine
that the FFI function call returns 1 for success. We can help readers of
the code by adding a 'Return' section to the method documentation.
Add trailing full stop to method docs initial line also.
Two functions in the FFI secp code return and accept a parity int.
Currently we are manually converting this to a bool. Doing so forces
readers of the code to think what the bool means even though
understanding this bool is not needed since in is just passed back down
to the FFI code. We can abstract this away by using an opaque type to
hold the original int and not converting it to a boolean value.
Add 'Return' and 'Error' sections to `tweak_add_assign` while fixing the
docs to describe the new opaque parity type.
We have two `tweak_add_assign` methods (one for keypair and one for
x-only pubkey). Both check the return value from a FFI function call.
We can make both sites uniform to _slightly_ reduce cognitive load when
reading the code.
Use C style code to make it obvious to readers that this is basically C
code.
There are currently two unit tests in the `schnorr` module that are
testing keys from the `key` module. This is possible because the tests
are only testing the public interface, none the less they are better
placed in the `key` module.
The import statements can be simplified by using an import
wildcard (`super::*`). While we are at it put them in std, external
crate, this crate order.
