How do you generate a random double uniformly distributed between 0 and 1 from C++? Of course I can think of some answers, but I'd like to know what the standard practice is, to have: Good standards compliance Good randomness Good speed (speed is more important than randomness for my application). Thanks a lot! PS: In case that matters, my target platforms are Linux and Windows.
