Recently we introduced uniform styling for module docs over in
`rust-bitcoin` repo. We can do the same here but its a bit controversial
because it removes the heading from module docs and every single public
module in rust-secp256k1 uses a heading. Instead we use a full
sentences. Also makes uniform the trailing `//!`.
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.

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.

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!

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.
314e8755df Clarify `global-context` feature (Martin Habovstiak)
d52ab85dd5 Added missing features to docs.rs config (Martin Habovstiak)
Pull request description:
Sadly, I missed two details in #353: features missing in docs.rs configuration and `global-context` being a bit confusing.
This PR fixes those, see commit messages for details.

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.
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
e595b39510 Re-export Parity struct (sanket1729)

pub struct Parity is under a private module key and not re-exported in lib.rs . It is therefore not

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.
With the introduction of Schnorr signatures, exporting a `Signature`
type without any further qualification is ambiguous. To minimize the
ambiguity, the `ecdsa` module is public which should encourage users
to refer to its types as `ecdsa::Signature` and `ecdsa::SerializedSignature`.
To reduce ambiguity in the APIs on `Secp256k1`, we deprecate several
fucntions and introduce new variants that explicitly mention the use of
the ECDSA signature algorithm.
Due to the move of `Signature` and `SerializedSignature` to a new module,
this patch is a breaking change. The impact is minimal though and fixing the
compile errors encourages a qualified naming of the type.
24d6f62603 Use explicit u8 when assigning a byte slice (junderw)
Pull request description:
Is there a way to tell the compiler to not allow `[0; 64]` and require that either the type is explicitly given to the variable, or that each member uses explicit `0u8` notation?
I noticed the usage was a mix of explicit and implicit, so I changed all to explicit.

Panicking from C is not UB in newer rust versions and will reliably
trigger an abort (without unwinding). In older rust versions, it is
technically UB but empirically it seems to "just work" (and what should
it realistically do except crashing, which is what we intent).
Since there's potentially no unwinding, we can't test this behavior
using [should_panic]. This PR will instead check the libtest output
explicitly in our CI tests.
Fixes#228.
There is little reason to pull in the `rand` dep just for the `Rng`
trait for users who want to randomize contexts. We should expose a
randomize function that just takes 32 bytes.
