Detailed Description

Automatically Seeded Randomness Pool.

This class seeds itself using an operating system provided RNG. AutoSeededRandomPool was suggested by Leonard Janke.

You should reseed the generator after a fork() to avoid multiple generators with the same internal state.

◆ AutoSeededRandomPool()

AutoSeededRandomPool::AutoSeededRandomPool	(	bool	blocking = false,
		unsigned int	seedSize = 32 )

inlineexplicit

Construct an AutoSeededRandomPool.

Parameters

blocking	controls seeding with BlockingRng or NonblockingRng
seedSize	the size of the seed, in bytes

Use blocking to choose seeding with BlockingRng or NonblockingRng. The parameter is ignored if only one of these is available.
