Any ideas when Foundation on Linux will support arc4random_uniform? This is kind of an important function. There doesn't seem to be any decent substitute without requiring the installation of libbsd-dev, which turns out to be messy. Currently I am doing this, but glibc random with mod does not produce good quality numbers, due to modulo bias.
Has anyone come up with a better solution to get a true uniform distribution that isn't super messy? import Foundation #if os(Linux) import Glibc #endif public func random_uniform(range: Int) -> Int { guard range > 0 else { return 0 } #if os(Linux) return Int(random()) % range #else return Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(range))) #endif } Thanks, Ed
