webrtc中的随机数生成代码

   说明，代码摘取自webrtc中的代码库，随机数生成算法：

  // TODO(tommi): Change this so that the seed can be initialized internally,
  // e.g. by offering two ways of constructing or offer a static method that
  // returns a seed that's suitable for initialization.
  // The problem now is that callers are calling clock_->TimeInMicroseconds()
  // which calls TickTime::Now().Ticks(), which can return a very low value on
  // Mac and can result in a seed of 0 after conversion to microseconds.
  // Besides the quality of the random seed being poor, this also requires
  // the client to take on extra dependencies to generate a seed.
  // If we go for a static seed generator in Random, we can use something from
  // webrtc/base and make sure that it works the same way across platforms.
  // See also discussion here: https://codereview.webrtc.org/1623543002/

真随机数的获取在linux可以对设备/dev/urandom进行读取，在windows下则可以调用RtlGenRandom。

还可以采用mt19937算法生成。

C++代码如下：

#include <random>
#include <iostream>

struct MT19937 {
private:
    static std::mt19937_64 rng;
public:
    // This is equivalent to srand().
    static void seed(uint64_t new_seed = std::mt19937_64::default_seed) {
        rng.seed(new_seed);
    }

    // This is equivalent to rand().
    static uint64_t get() {
        return rng();
    }
   static double get_double()
    {
        double result=rng();
        return result/std::numeric_limits<uint64_t>::max();

    }
 };

std::mt19937_64 MT19937::rng;


int main() {
    MT19937::seed(/*put your seed here*/);

    for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++ i)
        std::cout << MT19937::get() << std::endl;
}
