This section of the documentation contains reference content for the Microsoft implementation of the ISO standard C and C++ languages. The language reference includes documentation for the preprocessor, compiler intrinsics, and supported assembly languages.
Dev Random Linux
You'll also find documentation for the C runtime library, the C++ standard library, and several other libraries available with the Microsoft C/C++ compiler (MSVC) here.
Language reference
C language
Reference content for the Microsoft implementation of the C language.
Python uses the Mersenne Twister as the core generator. It produces 53-bit precision floats and has a period of 2.19937-1. The underlying implementation in C is both fast and threadsafe. The Mersenne Twister is one of the most extensively tested random number generators in existence. In comparison, Microsoft Visual C implementation always returns 32, and boost.random returns 10. The entropy of the Linux kernel device /dev/urandom may be obtained using ioctl RNDGETENTCNT - that's what std::randomdevice::entropy in GNU libstdc uses as of version 8.1 Example.
