The method is gated on the disabled by default
getrandom
feature.This PR is an alternative to rust-random/getrandom#381.
Reasons for why it could be better to add this method to
zerocopy
instead of introducing thegetrandom::value
function:getrandom
has lower MSRV thanzerocopy
.getrandom
does not have plans for breaking releases in the near future, whilezerocopy
has.u32::getrandom()
, whilegetrandom::value()
may require explicit type ascription.zerocopy
looks like a better place for keepingunsafe
code for transforming (random) bytes to a value ofFromBytes
type.getrandom::Error
,zerocopy
will not have any types fromgetrandom
in its public API, whilegetrandom
would always rely onFromBytes
bound in its public API.
