This patch changes
unpredictableSeed
to callCryptGenRandom
on Windows.Analogous to #10623 (Linux).
On the one hand, the legacy CryptoAPI might be deprecated, on the other hand using it does not introduce a new DLL dependency.
advapi32
is already required bystd.registry
and Phobos is linked against as seen in the currentMakefile
.Using the more modern CNG (
BCryptGenRandom
) would not only introduce a new dependency, but also require us to add the corresponding bindings to druntime. I figured that wouldn’t be worth the effort for now.
