pub struct ThreadRng { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

A reference to the thread-local generator

An instance can be obtained via thread_rng or via ThreadRng::default(). This handle is safe to use everywhere (including thread-local destructors), though it is recommended not to use inside a fork handler. The handle cannot be passed between threads (is not Send or Sync).

ThreadRng uses the same PRNG as StdRng for security and performance and is automatically seeded from OsRng.

Unlike StdRng, ThreadRng uses the ReseedingRng wrapper to reseed the PRNG from fresh entropy every 64 kiB of random data as well as after a fork on Unix (though not quite immediately; see documentation of ReseedingRng). Note that the reseeding is done as an extra precaution against side-channel attacks and mis-use (e.g. if somehow weak entropy were supplied initially). The PRNG algorithms used are assumed to be secure.

Convert Box<dyn Trait> (where Trait: Downcast) to Box<dyn Any>. Box<dyn Any> can then be further downcast into Box<ConcreteType> where ConcreteType implements Trait. Read more

Convert Rc<Trait> (where Trait: Downcast) to Rc<Any>. Rc<Any> can then be further downcast into Rc<ConcreteType> where ConcreteType implements Trait. Read more

Convert &Trait (where Trait: Downcast) to &Any. This is needed since Rust cannot generate &Any’s vtable from &Trait’s. Read more

Convert &mut Trait (where Trait: Downcast) to &Any. This is needed since Rust cannot generate &mut Any’s vtable from &mut Trait’s. Read more

Use this to cast from one trait object type to another. Read more

Use this to upcast a trait to one of its supertraits. Read more

Use this to cast from one trait object type to another. This method is more customizable than the dyn_cast method. Here you can also specify the “source” trait from which the cast is defined. This can for example allow using casts from a supertrait of the current trait object. Read more

Use this to cast from one trait object type to another. With this method the type parameter is a config type that uniquely specifies which cast should be preformed. Read more

Returns the argument unchanged.

Instruments this type with the provided Span, returning an Instrumented wrapper. Read more

Instruments this type with the current Span, returning an Instrumented wrapper. Read more

Calls U::from(self).

That is, this conversion is whatever the implementation of From<T> for U chooses to do.

Return a random value supporting the Standard distribution. Read more

Generate a random value in the given range. Read more

Sample a new value, using the given distribution. Read more

Create an iterator that generates values using the given distribution. Read more

Fill any type implementing Fill with random data Read more

Return a bool with a probability p of being true. Read more

Return a bool with a probability of numerator/denominator of being true. I.e. gen_ratio(2, 3) has chance of 2 in 3, or about 67%, of returning true. If numerator == denominator, then the returned value is guaranteed to be true. If numerator == 0, then the returned value is guaranteed to be false. Read more
