Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class RandomMixin< T >

Mixin class that provides helper randomness functions.

Intended to be used through CRTP: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/crtp. An RNG class FunkyRNG would derive publicly from RandomMixin<FunkyRNG>. This permits RandomMixin from accessing the derived class's rand64() function, while also allowing the derived class to provide more.

The derived class must satisfy the RandomNumberGenerator concept.

◆ fillrand()

template<typename T >

void RandomMixin< T >::fillrand ( std::span< std::byte > span )

◆ Impl()

template<typename T >

RandomNumberGenerator auto & RandomMixin< T >::Impl ( )

inlineprivatenoexcept

Access the underlying generator.

This also enforces the RandomNumberGenerator concept. We cannot declare that in the template (no template<RandomNumberGenerator T>) because the type isn't fully instantiated yet there.

template<typename T >

std::chrono::microseconds RandomMixin< T >::rand_exp_duration ( std::chrono::microseconds mean )

inlinenoexcept

Return a duration sampled from an exponential distribution (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_distribution).

Successive events whose intervals are distributed according to this form a memoryless Poisson process. This should be used for repeated network events (e.g. sending a certain type of message) to minimize leaking information to observers.

The probability of an event occurring before time x is 1 - e^-(x/a) where a is the average interval between events.
