[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 0/2] arc4random support

[Ganesh Ajjanagadde]

arc4random is a great interface on the BSD's, see e.g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWmLWx8ut20
for details on it, and is thus preferred over /dev/random, /dev/urandom.

1/2 (the less controversial of the 2 patches) adds support for it whenever
available naturally on the system.

2/2 adds support via libbsd, readily available on GNU/Linux systems. It is opt-in
via an --enable-libbsd flag.

Note that this may become obsolete once posix_random gets finalized and widespread.

Patches untested on BSD since I lack it; only tested on GNU/Linux.

Ganesh Ajjanagadde (2):
  avutil/random_seed: use arc4random() when available
  configure: libbsd support for arc4random()
