I don't think there are any cases where you couldn't use the read_adapter?

Can you give an example where this improves benchmark results?

I forgot to mention that using dyn is also just plain annoying: &mut (&mut rand as &mut dyn RngCore).take(100_000) is just super ugly compared to &mut rand.read_adapter().take(100_000). Using dyn also defaults to a static lifetime which makes life more difficult when passing stuff around. So basically there are strong pros to the read_adapter approach beyond perf.


group.bench_function("dyn-on", |b| {
    b.iter_with_setup(
        || Xoshiro256PlusPlus::seed_from_u64(42),
        |mut rand| {
            io::copy(
                &mut (&mut rand as &mut dyn RngCore).take(100),
                &mut io::sink(),
            )
        },
    );
});
group.bench_function("dyn-off", |b| {
    b.iter_with_setup(
        || Xoshiro256PlusPlus::seed_from_u64(42),
        |mut rand| io::copy(&mut rand.read_adapter().take(100), &mut io::sink()),
    );
});
