Long live QRandomGenerator
This class provides a reasonably-secure random number generator that does not need seeding. That is quite unlike qrand(), which requires a seed and is low-quality (definitely not secure). This class is also like std::random_device, but better. It provides an operator() like std::random_device, but unlike that, it also provides a way to fill a buffer with random data, not just one 32-bit quantity. It's also stateless. Finally, it also implements std::seed_seq-like generate(). It obeys the standard requirement of the range (32-bit) but not that of the algorithm (if you wanted that, you'd use std::seed_seq itself). Instead, generate() fills with pure random data. Change-Id: Icd0e0d4b27cb4e5eb892fffd14b4e3ba9ea04da8 Reviewed-by: Lars Knoll <lars.knoll@qt.io>
