Issue ID: 19138
Summary: std.uuid.randomUUID should not depend on
std.random.Random being Mt19937
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P1
Component: phobos
Assignee: nob...@puremagic.com
Reporter: n8sh.second...@hotmail.com
Right now `std.uuid` has a static assert that `std.random.Random` is `Mt19937`.
This is contrary to the public documentation of `std.random.Random`:
---
The "default", "favorite", "suggested" random number generator type on
the current platform. It is an alias for one of the previously-defined
generators. You may want to use it if (1) you need to generate some
nice random numbers, and (2) you don't care for the minutiae of the
method being used.
---
Depending on implementation details of another module is brittle and may lead
others to believe they can make the same assumption if even other Phobos
modules assumes it.
