I think the solution for platforms which use bad default_random_engine's is for said platforms to stop doing that. ;-)
Seriously, the whole point of platform defaults is that they make appropriate choices for the platform. Sure, you can define your own engine, but that's exactly what the original API gives you...
- Veedrac 11y agoYou could say that about a lot of platform defaults. Sadly it's still our responsibility to avoid the bad ones.
- cbsmith 11y agoExactly. Working around it in the standard is the wrong way to do it though. You send what the standard requires, and maybe the bad guys are standards compliant, but there is no point in bending over backwards to work around a platform that is going to find a way to mess it up anyway.
