seed mt19937 with random data
time(NULL) is a poor seed. It is quite predictable and multiple instance starting in the same second will get the same seed and therefore the same pseudo random number sequence Use std::random_device, witch is meant to provide 'true' random data.. mix time(NULL) just in case the std implementation is crappy. PS: sadly std::random_device.entropy() cannot be relied on as clang and gcc are known to return 0 despite their random_device being non-deterministic, hence the prophylactic systematic mixing with time(null) Change-Id: I44dab9970f8f0388dc1c99e9816d49d1afbecf18 Reviewed-on: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/15591Tested-by:Jenkins <ci@libreoffice.org> Reviewed-by:
