Detailed Description

Abstract base class for PRNG's (pseudo-random numbers generators).

Member Function Documentation

name()

virtual UString ts::RandomGenerator::name ( ) const

pure virtual

Algorithm name (informational only).

Returns

The algorithm name.

Implemented in ts::SystemRandomGenerator, and ts::BetterSystemRandomGenerator.

seed()

virtual bool ts::RandomGenerator::seed ( const void *  addr, size_t  size  )

pure virtual

Seed (add entropy) to the PRNG.

Parameters

[in]	addr	Address of entropy data.
[in]	size	Size in bytes of entropy data.

Returns

True on success, false on error.

Implemented in ts::SystemRandomGenerator.

ready()

virtual bool ts::RandomGenerator::ready ( ) const

pure virtual

Check if the PRNG is ready.

If not ready, it must be seeded again.

Returns

True if the PRNG is ready.

Implemented in ts::SystemRandomGenerator, and ts::BetterSystemRandomGenerator.

read()

virtual bool ts::RandomGenerator::read ( void *  addr, size_t  size  )

pure virtual

Get random data.

Parameters

[out]	addr	Address of returned random data.
[in]	size	Requested size in bytes of random data. The method always fill the buffer.

Returns

True on success, false on error.

Implemented in ts::SystemRandomGenerator, and ts::BetterSystemRandomGenerator.

readByteBlock()

virtual bool ts::RandomGenerator::readByteBlock ( ByteBlock &  data, size_t  size  )

virtual

Get random data in a byte block.

The default implementation uses read().

Parameters

[out]	data	Returned random data.
[in]	size	Requested size in bytes of random data.

Returns

True on success, false on error.

readInt()

template<typename INT , typename std::enable_if< std::is_integral< INT >::value >::type * = nullptr>

bool ts::RandomGenerator::readInt ( INT &  value )

inline

Get a random integer value.

Template Parameters

INT	An integer type for the result.

Parameters

[out]

value

The return integer value.

Returns

True on success, false on error.
