This patch removes the RNG from Module. Passes should instead create a new RNG for their use as needed.
Patch by Stephen Crane @rinon.
Differential revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D4377
llvm-svn: 224444
Provides an abstraction for a random number generator (RNG) that produces a stream of pseudo-random numbers.
The current implementation uses C++11 facilities and is therefore not cryptographically secure.
The RNG is salted with the text of the current command line invocation.
In addition, a user may specify a seed (reproducible builds).
In clang, the seed can be set via
-frandom-seed=X
In the back end, the seed can be set via
-rng-seed=X
This is the llvm part of the patch.
