Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #10939: Platform-specific random uuid generator
https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10939
<p>
Following this exchange: https: <em>twitter.com/niv_anteru/status/487496938150195200

<p>
A platform-specific random generator would apparently be far more efficient
(I say apparently because I didn't know there were platform-specific
uuid generation until I read this tweet).

I am resolving this as fixed. <a class="ext-link" href="https://github.com/boostorg/uuid/pull/21"><span class="icon"></span>https://github.com/boostorg/uuid/pull/21</a> proves you can use boost::random::random_device which satisfies your request. This is likely fixed much earlier than the milestone I am going to set (1.66) based on the commit of that unit test change.
