Function rapidrng_time

pub fn rapidrng_time(seed: &mut u64) -> u64

Generate a random number non-deterministically by re-seeding with the current time.

This is not a cryptographic random number generator.

Note fetching system time requires a syscall and is therefore much slower than rapidrng_fast. It can also be used to seed rapidrng_fast.

Requires the std feature and a platform that supports std::time::SystemTime.

Example

use rapidhash::{rapidrng_fast, rapidrng_time};

// choose a non-deterministic random seed (50-100ns)
let mut seed = rapidrng_time(&mut 0);

// rapid fast deterministic random numbers (~1ns/iter)
for _ in 0..10 {
    println!("{}", rapidrng_fast(&mut seed));
}
