Struct StdRng

pub struct StdRng(/* private fields */);

The standard RNG. The PRNG algorithm in StdRng is chosen to be efficient on the current platform, to be statistically strong and unpredictable (meaning a cryptographically secure PRNG).

The current algorithm used is the ChaCha block cipher with 12 rounds. Please see this relevant rand issue for the discussion. This may change as new evidence of cipher security and performance becomes available.

The algorithm is deterministic but should not be considered reproducible due to dependence on configuration and possible replacement in future library versions. For a secure reproducible generator, we recommend use of the rand_chacha crate directly.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for StdRng

fn clone(&self) -> StdRng

Returns a copy of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for StdRng

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq for StdRng

fn eq(&self, other: &StdRng) -> 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 StdRng

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 StdRng

type Seed = <ChaCha12Rng as SeedableRng>::Seed

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

fn from_seed(seed: <StdRng as SeedableRng>::Seed) -> StdRng

Create a new PRNG using the given seed.

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

where R: RngCore,

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.
