* Supports more platforms optimally, for example CloudABI, OpenBSD, and Windows UWP * Is easier to maintain as each platform's implementation is in a separate file * Removes the library dependency on Boost.System * Is header-only, and thus makes Boost.Random header-only * Is well-tested for happy and sad paths Adds a new exception "entropy_error" to handle errors getting entropy. Removed the detail auto_link implementation inside Boost.Random as it is no longer necessary - the one in Boost.Config is sufficient. Also added a top-level Jamfile that builds the example subdirectory with each build, as one of the examples needed to be updated in order to build. This will prevent rot in the example directory. Note: Other libraries that link against Boost.Random (like Boost.Uuid) will fail to build until they stop trying to link against Boost.Random. This fixes boostorg#20 This fixes boostorg#22

This is definitely the wrong solution. The user doesn't (usually) control the build of the random library. |

FYI: this was a long long time ago. But what i remember is that this change was necessary for building and using this with WinCE. In that scenario we did control the build. I don't recall the exact problem but WinCE had a lot of it's functions in different libraries from the desktop variant. So possibly Advapi32 didn't even exist there. It's use definitely caused build errors. But it's a long time ago, and the project in question is in maintenance by completely different people now. So this is the only context I can provide from memory now |
