Function std.random.unpredictableSeed
A "good" seed for initializing random number engines. Initializing
with unpredictableSeed makes engines generate different
random number sequences every run.
Prototype
uint unpredictableSeed() @property @trusted;
Returns
A single unsigned integer seed value, different on each successive call
Example
auto rnd = Random(unpredictableSeed); auto n = rnd.front; static assert(is(typeof(n) == uint));
