Re: [Boost-users] Seeding boost::mt19937 with bytes from CryptoGenRandom

The memcpy should copy from randomBytes into seed. (Assuming I haven't forgotten the signature of memcpy.)

Seems, like I forgot the signature... Another way to transfer the bytes would be: union bytes2seed { uint64_t seed_; char bytes_[sizeof(uint64_t)]; }; bytes2seed converter; Now one can pass &converter.bytes_[0] to CryptGenRandom. This does not require an additional memcpy call. Ovanes.
