QPID-5487: [linearstore] Replace use of /dev/urandom with c random generator
calls
> [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.
