Struct rand_xorshift::XorShiftRng

pub struct XorShiftRng { /* private fields */ }

An Xorshift random number generator.

The Xorshift¹ algorithm is not suitable for cryptographic purposes but is very fast. If you do not know for sure that it fits your requirements, use a more secure one such as StdRng or OsRng.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for XorShiftRng

fn clone(&self) -> XorShiftRng

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for XorShiftRng

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq<XorShiftRng> for XorShiftRng

fn eq(&self, other: &XorShiftRng) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &XorShiftRng) -> bool

This method tests for !=.

impl RngCore for XorShiftRng

fn next_u32(&mut self) -> u32

Return the next random u32.

fn next_u64(&mut self) -> u64

Return the next random u64.

fn fill_bytes(&mut self, dest: &mut [u8])

Fill dest with random data.

fn try_fill_bytes(&mut self, dest: &mut [u8]) -> Result<(), Error>

Fill dest entirely with random data.

impl SeedableRng for XorShiftRng

type Seed = [u8; 16]

Seed type, which is restricted to types mutably-dereferenceable as u8 arrays (we recommend [u8; N] for some N).

fn from_seed(seed: Self::Seed) -> Self

Create a new PRNG using the given seed.

fn from_rng<R: RngCore>(rng: R) -> Result<Self, Error>

Create a new PRNG seeded from another Rng.

fn seed_from_u64(state: u64) -> Self

Create a new PRNG using a u64 seed.

fn from_entropy() -> Self

Creates a new instance of the RNG seeded via getrandom.
