Core random number generation traits and tools for implementation.
Documentation
//! The [`Generator`] trait and [`BlockRng`]
//!
//! Trait [`Generator`] may be implemented by block-generators; that is PRNGs
//! whose output is a *block* of words, such as `[u32; 16]`.
//!
//! The struct [`BlockRng`] wraps such a [`Generator`] together with an output
//! buffer and implements several methods (e.g. [`BlockRng::next_word`]) to
//! assist in the implementation of [`TryRng`]. Note that (unlike in earlier
//! versions of `rand_core`) [`BlockRng`] itself does not implement [`TryRng`]
//! since in practice we found it was always beneficial to use a wrapper type
//! over [`BlockRng`].
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```
//! use core::convert::Infallible;
//! use rand_core::{Rng, SeedableRng, TryRng};
//! use rand_core::block::{Generator, BlockRng};
//!
//! struct MyRngCore {
//!     // Generator state ...
//! #    state: [u32; 8],
//! }
//!
//! impl Generator for MyRngCore {
//!     type Output = [u32; 8];
//!
//!     fn generate(&mut self, output: &mut Self::Output) {
//!         // Write a new block to output...
//! #        *output = self.state;
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! // Our RNG is a wrapper over BlockRng
//! pub struct MyRng(BlockRng<MyRngCore>);
//!
//! impl SeedableRng for MyRng {
//!     type Seed = [u8; 32];
//!     fn from_seed(seed: Self::Seed) -> Self {
//!         let core = MyRngCore {
//!             // ...
//! #            state: rand_core::utils::read_words(&seed),
//!         };
//!         MyRng(BlockRng::new(core))
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! impl TryRng for MyRng {
//!     type Error = Infallible;
//!
//!     #[inline]
//!     fn try_next_u32(&mut self) -> Result<u32, Infallible> {
//!         Ok(self.0.next_word())
//!     }
//!
//!     #[inline]
//!     fn try_next_u64(&mut self) -> Result<u64, Infallible> {
//!         Ok(self.0.next_u64_from_u32())
//!     }
//!
//!     #[inline]
//!     fn try_fill_bytes(&mut self, bytes: &mut [u8]) -> Result<(), Infallible> {
//!         Ok(self.0.fill_bytes(bytes))
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! // And if applicable: impl TryCryptoRng for MyRng {}
//!
//! let mut rng = MyRng::seed_from_u64(0);
//! println!("First value: {}", rng.next_u32());
//! # assert_eq!(rng.next_u32(), 1171109249);
