//! The `BlockRngCore` trait and implementation helpers
//!
//! The [`BlockRngCore`] trait exists to assist in the implementation of RNGs
//! which generate a block of data in a cache instead of returning generated
//! values directly.
//!
//! Usage of this trait is optional, but provides two advantages:
//! implementations only need to concern themselves with generation of the
//! block, not the various [`RngCore`] methods (especially [`fill_bytes`], where
//! the optimal implementations are not trivial), and this allows
//! `ReseedingRng` (see [`rand`](https://docs.rs/rand) crate) perform periodic
//! reseeding with very low overhead.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use rand_core::{RngCore, SeedableRng};
//! use rand_core::block::{BlockRngCore, BlockRng};
//!
//! struct MyRngCore;
//!
//! impl BlockRngCore for MyRngCore {
//!     type Item = u32;
//!     type Results = [u32; 16];
//!
//!     fn generate(&mut self, results: &mut Self::Results) {
//!         unimplemented!()
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! impl SeedableRng for MyRngCore {
//!     type Seed = [u8; 32];
//!     fn from_seed(seed: Self::Seed) -> Self {
//!         unimplemented!()
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! // optionally, also implement CryptoRng for MyRngCore
//!
//! // Final RNG.
//! let mut rng = BlockRng::<MyRngCore>::seed_from_u64(0);
//! println!("First value: {}", rng.next_u32());
//! ```

/// a full RNG from just a `generate` function.
///
/// The `core` field may be accessed directly but the results buffer may not.
/// PRNG implementations can simply use a type alias
/// (`pub type MyRng = BlockRng<MyRngCore>;`) but might prefer to use a
/// wrapper type (`pub struct MyRng(BlockRng<MyRngCore>);`); the latter must
/// re-implement `RngCore` but hides the implementation details and allows
/// extra functionality to be defined on the RNG
/// (e.g. `impl MyRng { fn set_stream(...){...} }`).
///
/// `BlockRng` has heavily optimized implementations of the [`RngCore`] methods
/// reading values from the results buffer, as well as
/// calling [`BlockRngCore::generate`] directly on the output array when
/// [`fill_bytes`] / [`try_fill_bytes`] is called on a large array. These methods
/// also handle the bookkeeping of when to generate a new batch of values.
///
/// No whole generated `u32` values are thown away and all values are consumed
/// in-order. [`next_u32`] simply takes the next available `u32` value.
/// [`next_u64`] is implemented by combining two `u32` values, least
/// significant first. [`fill_bytes`] and [`try_fill_bytes`] consume a whole
/// number of `u32` values, converting each `u32` to a byte slice in
/// little-endian order. If the requested byte length is not a multiple of 4,
/// some bytes will be discarded.
///
/// See also [`BlockRng64`] which uses `u64` array buffers. Currently there is
/// no direct support for other buffer types.
///
/// For easy initialization `BlockRng` also implements [`SeedableRng`].
