// 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.
//
// The additional `Rc` is not strictly neccesary, and could be removed. For now
// it ensures `ThreadRng` stays `!Send` and `!Sync`, and implements `Clone`.


// Number of generated bytes after which to reseed `TreadRng`.
//
// The time it takes to reseed HC-128 is roughly equivalent to generating 7 KiB.
// We pick a treshold here that is large enough to not reduce the average
// performance too much, but also small enough to not make reseeding something
// that basically never happens.

/// The type returned by [`thread_rng`], essentially just a reference to the
/// PRNG in thread-local memory.
///
/// `ThreadRng` uses [`ReseedingRng`] wrapping the same PRNG as [`StdRng`],
/// which is reseeded after generating 32 MiB of random data. A single instance
/// is cached per thread and the returned `ThreadRng` is a reference to this
/// instance — hence `ThreadRng` is neither `Send` nor `Sync` but is safe to use
/// within a single thread. This RNG is seeded and reseeded via [`EntropyRng`]
/// as required.
///
/// Note that the reseeding is done as an extra precaution against entropy
/// leaks and is in theory unnecessary — to predict `ThreadRng`'s output, an
/// attacker would have to either determine most of the RNG's seed or internal
/// state, or crack the algorithm used.
///
/// Like [`StdRng`], `ThreadRng` is a cryptographically secure PRNG. The current
/// algorithm used is [HC-128], which is an array-based PRNG that trades memory
/// usage for better performance. This makes it similar to ISAAC, the algorithm
/// used in `ThreadRng` before rand 0.5.
///
/// Cloning this handle just produces a new reference to the same thread-local
/// generator.
/// 
/// [`ReseedingRng`]: crate::rngs::adapter::ReseedingRng
/// [`StdRng`]: crate::rngs::StdRng
