From: Johannes Sixt Date: Fri, 05 Jun 2015 19:45:04 GMT Subject: [PATCH 1/4] lockfile: replace random() by rand() Message-ID: <06da8b5946687223276460be4db6348938df08a4.1433532967.git.j6t@kdbg.org> In-Reply-To: <55700F10.8030806@kdbg.org> On Windows, we do not have functions srandom() and random(). Use srand() and rand(). These functions produce random numbers of lesser quality, but for the purpose (a retry time-out) they are still good enough.
