> [cpp] Seed in uuid.cpp can lead to duplicates
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PROTON-2396
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-2396
> Project: Qpid Proton
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: cpp-binding
> Environment: RHEL7 running in OpenStack
> docker-ce 19.03.5
> qpid-proton 0.28.0
> qpid-cpp 1.37.0
> Reporter: Ryan Herbert
> Assignee: Rakhi Kumari
> Priority: Major
>
> The random number seed used in qpid-proton/cpp/src/uuid.cpp is based on the
> current time and the PID of the running process. When starting multiple
> proton instances simultaneously in Docker containers via automated
> deployment, there is a high probability that multiple instances will get the
> same seed since the PID within the Docker container is consistent and the
> same across multiple copies of the same Docker container.
> This results in duplicate link names when binding to exchanges. When this
> happens, the queue gets bound to two different exchanges, and requests sent
> to one exchange will get responses from both services.
> To work around this error, we are specifying the link name via
> sender_options/receiver_options every time we open a new sender/receiver, and
> we also specify the container_id in connection_options. We are using
> std::mt19937_64 seeded with
> std::chrono::system_clock::now().time_since_epoch().count() to generate the
> random part of our link names, which seems to have enough randomness that it
> has eliminated the problem for us.
> As pointed out in the Proton user forum, std::random_device is probably a
> better choice for initializing the seed.
