Struct 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 for XorShiftRng

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

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

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

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

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.

impl Eq for XorShiftRng

impl StructuralPartialEq for XorShiftRng

Layout

Note: Most layout information is completely unstable and may even differ between compilations. The only exception is types with certain repr(...) attributes. Please see the Rust Reference's “Type Layout” chapter for details on type layout guarantees.
