| // Rationale for using `UnsafeCell` in `ThreadRng`: |
| // |
| // Previously we used a `RefCell`, with an overhead of ~15%. There will only |
| // ever be one mutable reference to the interior of the `UnsafeCell`, because |
| // we only have such a reference inside `next_u32`, `next_u64`, etc. Within a |
| // single thread (which is the definition of `ThreadRng`), there will only ever |
| // be one of these methods active at a time. |
| // |
| // A possible scenario where there could be multiple mutable references is if |
| // `ThreadRng` is used inside `next_u32` and co. But the implementation is |
| // completely under our control. We just have to ensure none of them use |
| // `ThreadRng` internally, which is nonsensical anyway. We should also never run |
| // `ThreadRng` in destructors of its implementation, which is also nonsensical. |
| |
| // Number of generated bytes after which to reseed `ThreadRng`. |
| // According to benchmarks, reseeding has a noticeable impact with thresholds |
| // of 32 kB and less. We choose 64 kB to avoid significant overhead. |

| /// A reference to the thread-local generator |
| /// |
| /// This type is a reference to a lazily-initialized thread-local generator. |
| /// An instance can be obtained via [`rand::rng()`][crate::rng()] or via |
| /// [`ThreadRng::default()`]. |
| /// The handle cannot be passed between threads (is not `Send` or `Sync`). |
| /// |
| /// # Security |
| /// |
| /// Security must be considered relative to a threat model and validation |
| /// requirements. The Rand project can provide no guarantee of fitness for |
| /// purpose. The design criteria for `ThreadRng` are as follows: |
| /// |
| /// - Automatic seeding via [`OsRng`] and periodically thereafter (see |
| /// ([`ReseedingRng`] documentation). Limitation: there is no automatic |
| /// reseeding on process fork (see [below](#fork)). |
| /// - A rigorusly analyzed, unpredictable (cryptographic) pseudo-random generator |
| /// (see [the book on security](https://rust-random.github.io/book/guide-rngs.html#security)). |
| /// The currently selected algorithm is ChaCha (12-rounds). |
| /// See also [`StdRng`] documentation. |
| /// - Not to leak internal state through [`Debug`] or serialization |
| /// implementations. |
| /// - No further protections exist to in-memory state. In particular, the |
| /// implementation is not required to zero memory on exit (of the process or |
| /// thread). (This may change in the future.) |
| /// - Be fast enough for general-purpose usage. Note in particular that |
| /// `ThreadRng` is designed to be a "fast, reasonably secure generator" |
| /// (where "reasonably secure" implies the above criteria). |
| /// |
| /// We leave it to the user to determine whether this generator meets their |
| /// security requirements. For an alternative, see [`OsRng`]. |
| /// |
| /// # Fork |
| /// |
| /// `ThreadRng` is not automatically reseeded on fork. It is recommended to |
| /// explicitly call [`ThreadRng::reseed`] immediately after a fork, for example: |
| /// ```ignore |
| /// fn do_fork() { |
| /// let pid = unsafe { libc::fork() }; |
| /// if pid == 0 { |
| /// // Reseed ThreadRng in child processes: |
| /// rand::rng().reseed(); |
| /// } |
| /// } |
| /// ``` |
| /// |
| /// Methods on `ThreadRng` are not reentrant-safe and thus should not be called |
| /// from an interrupt (e.g. a fork handler) unless it can be guaranteed that no |
| /// other method on the same `ThreadRng` is currently executing. |
| /// |
| /// [`ReseedingRng`]: crate::rngs::ReseedingRng |
| /// [`StdRng`]: crate::rngs::StdRng |
