From a1933bd1847951b959016f59ee744d1b18a00142 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Laurent Bercot Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2016 17:07:56 +0000 Subject: Clean up and modernize librandom. Correct random number generation has historically been suprisingly painful to achieve. There was no standard, every system behaved in a subtly different way, and there were a few userland initiatives to get decent randomness, all incompatible of course. The situation is a bit better now, we're heading towards some standardization. The arc4random() series of functions is a good API, and available on a lot of systems - unfortunately not Linux, but on Linux the new getrandom() makes using /dev/random obsolete. So I removed the old crap in librandom, dropped EGD support, dropped dynamic backend selection, made a single API series (random_* instead of goodrandom_* and badrandom_*), added an arc4random backend and a getrandom backend, and defaulted to /dev/urandom backed up by SURF in the worst case. This should be much smaller and logical. However, it's a major API break, so the skarnet.org stack will be changed to adapt. --- src/librandom/unirandom_register.c | 16 ---------------- 1 file changed, 16 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 src/librandom/unirandom_register.c (limited to 'src/librandom/unirandom_register.c') diff --git a/src/librandom/unirandom_register.c b/src/librandom/unirandom_register.c deleted file mode 100644 index e174909..0000000 --- a/src/librandom/unirandom_register.c +++ /dev/null @@ -1,16 +0,0 @@ -/* ISC license. */ - -#include -#include -#include "random-internal.h" - -void unirandom_register (unirandom *u, int (*init) (union unirandominfo *), int (*finish) (union unirandominfo *), unsigned int (*readb) (union unirandominfo *, char *, unsigned int), unsigned int (*readnb) (union unirandominfo *, char *, unsigned int)) -{ - unirandom zero = UNIRANDOM_ZERO ; - *u = zero ; - u->init = init ; - u->finish = finish ; - u->readb = readb ; - u->readnb = readnb ; - u->initted = 0 ; -} -- cgit v1.2.3
