Currently, Boost only implements the random_device class for Linux (maybe *nix) systems. Does anyone know of existing implementations for other OS-es? Ideally, these implementations would be open-source.
If none exist, how should I go about implementing a non-deterministic RNG for Windows as well as Mac OS X? Do API calls exist in either environment that would provide this functionality? Thanks (and sorry for all the questions)!
On MacOSX, you can use /dev/random (since it's a *nix).
On Windows, you probably want the CryptGenRandom function. I don't know if there's an implementation of boost::random_device that uses it.
