std::seed_seq
Defined in header <random>
class seed_seq ;
(since C++11)

std::seed_seq consumes a sequence of integer-valued data and produces a requested number of 32-bit unsigned integer values, based on the consumed data. The produced values are distributed over the entire 32-bit range even if the consumed values are close.

It provides a way to seed a large number of random number engines or to seed a generator that requires a lot of entropy, given a small seed or a poorly distributed initial seed sequence.

std::seed_seq meets the requirements of SeedSequence .

Nested types

Type Definition

Data members

Member Description
std:: vector < result_type > v the underlying seed sequence
( exposition-only member object* )

Member functions

constructs and seeds the std::seed_seq object
(public member function)
operator=
[deleted]
std::seed_seq is not assignable
(public member function)
calculates the bias-eliminated, evenly distributed 32-bit values

Example

Run this code 
#include <cstdint>
#include <iostream>
#include <random>
 
int main()
{
    std::seed_seq seq{1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
    std::vector<std::uint32_t> seeds(10);
    seq.generate(seeds.begin(), seeds.end());
    for (std::uint32_t n : seeds)
        std::cout << n << '\n';
}
