Trait `BlockRngCore`

trait BlockRngCore

A trait for RNGs which do not generate random numbers individually, but in blocks (typically [u32; N]). This technique is commonly used by cryptographic RNGs to improve performance.

See the [module][crate::block] documentation for details.

Associated Types

type Item: Results element type, e.g. u32.
type Results: TraitBound { trait_: Path { path: "AsRef", id: Id(2), args: Some(AngleBracketed { args: [Type(Slice(QualifiedPath { name: "Item", args: None, self_type: Generic("Self"), trait_: Some(Path { path: "", id: Id(3), args: None }) }))], constraints: [] }) }, generic_params: [], modifier: None } + TraitBound { trait_: Path { path: "AsMut", id: Id(4), args: Some(AngleBracketed { args: [Type(Slice(QualifiedPath { name: "Item", args: None, self_type: Generic("Self"), trait_: Some(Path { path: "", id: Id(3), args: None }) }))], constraints: [] }) }, generic_params: [], modifier: None } + TraitBound { trait_: Path { path: "Default", id: Id(5), args: None }, generic_params: [], modifier: None }: Results type. This is the 'block' an RNG implementing BlockRngCore generates, which will usually be an array like [u32; 16].

Required Methods

fn generate(self: &mut Self, results: &mut <Self as >::Results): Generate a new block of results.
