loop {
    variable = value;

    according to godbolt: https://rust.godbolt.org/z/hP5Y3qMPW

    use rand::random;

pub fn main1() {
    let mut var : u128;
    loop {
        var = random();
    }
}

pub fn main2() {
    loop {
        let var : u128 = random();
    }
}

    compiles to:

    example::main1::h45edf333d7832d08:
.Lfunc_begin8:
        sub     rsp, 24
.LBB8_1:
.Ltmp80:
        mov     rax, qword ptr [rip + rand::random::he3c23ceb967a3e28@GOTPCREL]
        call    rax
        mov     qword ptr [rsp + 8], rdx
        mov     qword ptr [rsp], rax
        jmp     .LBB8_1
.Ltmp81:
.Lfunc_end8:

example::main2::h1a899b25b96d66db:
.Lfunc_begin9:
        sub     rsp, 24
.LBB9_1:
.Ltmp82:
        mov     rax, qword ptr [rip + rand::random::he3c23ceb967a3e28@GOTPCREL]
        call    rax
        mov     qword ptr [rsp + 8], rdx
        mov     qword ptr [rsp], rax
        jmp     .LBB9_1
.Ltmp83:
.Lfunc_end9:
        jmp     .LBB9_1

    So yeah, exactly the same thing.
