As is typical in the Rust ecosystem use the third person tense when
documenting functions. E.g.,
```
/// Creates a new Foo.
```
As opposed to
```
/// Create a new Foo.
```
Example relies on `rand-std` not plain `rand` dependency.
I do not understand why the following command passes without this patch
applied
```
cargo test --no-default-features --features=std,rand,bitcoin_hashes
```
But if we put the same code in a standalone binary it fails as expected?
Since the running of this test is _unusual_ and it is primarily meant as
an entry point example to the library, remove the mention of "alloc"
feature and just depend upon "std".
Currently when debug printing the `RecoverableSignature` we do so byte
by byte, this means that the output differs depending on the endianess
of the machine. If instead we serialize the signature in compact form
then the output is the same irrespective of the endianess.
With this applied the following two commands now pass:
```
cargo test test_debug_output --features=recovery
```
cross test --target powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu test_debug_output --features=recovery
```

Pull request description:
Currently it is easy for users to mis-use our API because they may not know that `randomize()` should be called after context creation for maximum defence against side channel attacks.
This PR entails the first two parts of the plan outlined in #388. The commit messages are a bit light of information as to _why_ we are doing this so please see #388 for more context.
In light of @real-or-random's [comment](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/issues/388#issuecomment-1026613592) about verification contexts the randomization is done in `gen_new` i.e., for _all_ contexts not just signing ones.
Also, I think we should add some docs about exactly _what_ randomization buys the user and what it costs. I do not know exactly what this is, can someone please write a sentence or two that we can include in the docs to `gen_new`?
@TheBlueMatt please review patch 4.
Resolves: #225
**Note**: This is a total re-write of the original PR, most of the discussion below is stale. Of note, the additional API that takes a seed during construction is not implemented here.

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.

Pull request description:
As indicated by the comment in `contrib/test.sh` we should be able to test with `--no-default-features`.
- Patch 1 uses fully qualified path to remove a build warning.
- Patch 2 adds additional `Debug` implementations for secrets, uses `bitcoin_hashes` if available, please review carefully.
- Patch 3 adds `std` as an explicit requirement for the three examples
- Patch 4 enables `cargo test --no-default-features, fixes all the feature gating in unit tests.
- Patch 5 fixes lint warnings generated while running the feature matrix in `contrib/test.sh`.
**Please Note**: Currently the `alloc` feature cannot be built with Rust 1.29, this made it into master because we don't build ever with the `alloc` feature enabled in CI. This PR _should_ add `alloc` to the features matrix but it does not. Adds a TODO comment to `contrib/test.sh` to add it once we bump MSRV.

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 examples depend on having the "std" feature [1]. In preparation for
being able to run tests with `--no-default-features` add the "std"
feature as a requirement for all three examples. While we are at it use
the correct rand feature requirement: `rand-std`.
[1] Technically we only need "alloc" but "alloc" is not working with
Rust 1.29 currently so just use "std".
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.
When building with --no-default-features the compiler emits:
warning: unused import: `mem`
The call site is feature gated so we either need to feature gate the
import or use a fully qualified path. Since 'core' is quite short elect
to use the fully qualified path.

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!

6fad20ef0c Fix the mess around Parity (Tobin Harding)
Pull request description:
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`
This PR attempts to follow the plan laid out in the issue but:
- I don't get why`to_u8` is requested, I added it anyways.
- `to_i32` is not mentioned but we need it if we are going to pass the parity back to FFI code after receiving it _without_ having to care about the value. And that is the whole point of this `Parity` type in the first place.
- I don't get why `from_xxx` is fallible, when is an integer not even or odd?
Please 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)`.
