Trait Implementations

Returns a copy of the value. Read more

Performs copy-assignment from source. Read more

impl Debug for IsaacCore
[src]

impl BlockRngCore for IsaacCore
[src]

Results element type, e.g. u32.

Results type. This is the 'block' an RNG implementing BlockRngCore generates, which will usually be an array like [u32; 16]. Read more

Refills the output buffer, results. See also the pseudocode desciption of the algorithm in the IsaacRng documentation.

Optimisations used (similar to the reference implementation):

  • The loop is unrolled 4 times, once for every constant of mix().
  • The contents of the main loop are moved to a function rngstep, to reduce code duplication.
  • We use local variables for a and b, which helps with optimisations.
  • We split the main loop in two, one that operates over 0..128 and one over 128..256. This way we can optimise out the addition and modulus from s[i+128 mod 256].
  • We maintain one index i and add m or m2 as base (m2 for the s[i+128 mod 256]), relying on the optimizer to turn it into pointer arithmetic.
  • We fill results backwards. The reference implementation reads values from results in reverse. We read them in the normal direction, to make fill_bytes a memcopy. To maintain compatibility we fill in reverse.

impl SeedableRng for IsaacCore
[src]

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