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::BetterSystemRandomGenerator, ts::SystemRandomGenerator, and ts::Xoshiro256ss.

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, and ts::Xoshiro256ss.

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::BetterSystemRandomGenerator, ts::SystemRandomGenerator, and ts::Xoshiro256ss.

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::BetterSystemRandomGenerator, ts::SystemRandomGenerator, and ts::Xoshiro256ss.

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_T >
requires std::integral<INT_T>

bool ts::RandomGenerator::readInt	(	INT_T &	value,
		INT_T	min = std::numeric_limits<INT_T>::min(),
		INT_T	max = std::numeric_limits<INT_T>::max()
	)

Get a random integer value inside a defined range.

Template Parameters

INT_T

An integer type for the result.

Parameters

[out]	value	The return integer value.
[in]	min	Minimum value to return.
[in]	max	Maximum value to return.

Returns

True on success, false on error.
