// Our random number generator is seeded by default (i.e., in the default
// constructor) with random seeds, which should be unique across machines,
// processes and time.  This makes this code below rather operating system
// dependent.  We also use in essence defensive programming, overlaying
// several methods to get randomness since in the past we were bitten a
// couple of times (and got the same seeds).  Having several methods makes
// it also simpler to port randomly initializing seeds to different
// operating systems (even though currently it is only tested on Linux).
// This functionality is only used in the 'Mobical' model based tester at
// this point, since the main solver explicitly sets a random seed ('0' by
// default in 'options.hpp') and also currently only uses this seed in the
// local search procedure explicitly without using the default constructor.
// It is crucial for 'Mobical' to make sure that concurrent runs are really
// independent.
 
/*------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
 
// Uncomment the following definition to force printing the computed hash
// values for individual machine and process properties. This is only needed
// for testing, porting and debugging different ports of this seeding and
// hashing functions (uncomment and run 'mobical' for instance).

// On our Linux cluster where we used an NFS mounted root disk the
// 'machine-id' above (even on a locally mounted '/var' disk on each node)
// was copied from '/etc/machine-id' which was shared among all nodes
// (before figuring this out and fixing it). Thus the main idea of getting
// different hash values through this machine identifier machines did not
// work.  As an additional measure to increase the possibility to get
// different seeds we are now also using network addresses (explicitly).
