I'm using std::random_shuffle and srandom, and wonder if it's possible to constrain srandom()'s effect to local block of code.
To be more precise, For a server application, I need to have different random seeds for different clients and keep using this pre-determined seed for random number generation per clients.
Thank you
The routines you are looking for are
srandom_r(3)
andrandom_r(3)
