I can’t figure out how to use the SeedableRng trait, which I presume is used to initialize other generators, like XorShiftRng. I’ve tried these things:
let xsr = XorShiftRng::from_rng(rand::thread_rng());
That results in function or associated item not found in state::rand::XorShiftRng
let xsr : XorShiftRng = SeedableRng::from_rng(rand::thread_rng());
The results in function or associated item not found in state::rand::SeedableRng<_>
The from_seed
function does work:
let xsr = XorShiftRng::from_seed([1,2,3,4]);
Are the docs perhaps just refering to a newer functionality that I don’t have in my version? I have “rustc 1.24.1” and rand = "*"
in my Cargo.toml.
