mrpt::random::CRandomGenerator Class Reference

Detailed Description

A thred-safe pseudo random number generator, based on an internal MT19937 randomness generator.

The base algorithm for randomness is platform-independent. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_twister

For real thread-safety, each thread must create and use its own instance of this class.

Single-thread programs can use the static object mrpt::random::randomGenerator
