Struct rand::rngs::ThreadRng

source ·
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.
