How to get current seed from C++ rand()?

Question

I generate a few thousand object in my program based on the C++ rand() function. Keeping them in the memory would be exhaustive. Is there a way to copy the CURRENT

Answer 1

I would recommend you to use the Mersenne Twister Pseudo-Random Number Generator. It is fast and offer very good random numbers. You can seed the generator in the constructor of the class very simply by

unsigned long rSeed = 10;
MTRand myRandGen(rSeed);

Then you just need to store somewhere the seeds you used to generate the sequences...
