--------------------------------------
Summary: [linearstore] Replace use of /dev/urandom with c random
generator calls
Key: QPID-5487
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-5487
Project: Qpid
Issue Type: Bug
Components: C++ Broker
Reporter: Kim van der Riet
Assignee: Kim van der Riet
Priority: Minor
The use of /dev/urandom for random numbers is considered unfriendly to other
systems on a machine that might depend upon this source.
The current use-case is for Journal serial numbers; the randomness of the C
rand() call should be good enough, but it requires a 64-bit number. Construct
this using two 32-bit numbers.
