A bit late to the party here, but I was curious why this uses
mem::uninitialized()
instead ofmem::zeroed()
.Zeroing seems relatively lightweight compared to RDRAND itself, would make RNG failures more obvious, and eliminates the potential risk of using attacker-controlled values which appear plausibly random at first glance as e.g. cryptographic keys.

Yeah,
zeroed
could be a better choice. Although in practice it does not matter, as bothzeroed
anduninitialized
get optimized out.There was a problem hiding this comment.

@tarcieri good catch! It also gets rid of a deprecation warning on the latest nightly.
