ThreadRng is what the GP recommended. From the linked page: > ThreadRng is automatically seeded from OsRng with periodic reseeding (every 64 kiB, as well as “soon” after a fork on Unix — see ReseedingRng documentation for details). Is the system's random number generator actually better than this? It looks like the rand developers know what they're doing, and using a library like this is attractive because I don't have to figure out the "right" random number API on different operating systems. (arc4random()? Is that only a macos thing? srandom()? random()? What is it on windows? Should I be reading from /dev/srandom or something? Etc.) |
