#23323: sample_laplace_distribution should produce a valid result on 0.0 -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: teor | Owner: (none) Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Tor: 0.3.2.x-final Component: Core | Version: Tor: 0.2.6.3-alpha Tor/Tor | Keywords: tor-relay, security-low, Severity: Normal | 031-backport, 030-backport, 029-backport, 028 | -backport-maybe, 027-backport-maybe, 026 | -backport-maybe Actual Points: | Parent ID: #23061 Points: 0.5 | Reviewer: Sponsor: | -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Destroying the signal with probability 1 in 2^-53^ isn't a great idea. Let's pick a sensible double value, and pass it through the function instead.
I suggest 2^-54^, but it really doesn't matter exactly what value we use, as long as it produces valid results, because the probability is so low.
