Thank you, that makes sense. I can see that being an issue for testing.

I wouldn't describe "pseudo-random sequences that differ between compilers/platforms/versions but are deterministic for a given toolchain" as "true randomness" but I understand the point.

I have confirmed that uniform_int_distribution gives different results on x86-64 clang (trunk) with libc++ [1] vs x86-64 clang (trunk) with libstdc++ [2].
