class random_device;
(since C++11)std::random_device is a uniformly-distributed integer random number generator that produces non-deterministic random numbers.
std::random_device may be implemented in terms of an implementation-defined pseudo-random number engine if a non-deterministic source (e.g. a hardware device) is not available to the implementation. In this case each std::random_device object may generate the same number sequence.
