  39. // `absl::SeedSeq` constructs a seed sequence according to [rand.req.seedseq]
  40. // for use within bit generators. `absl::SeedSeq`, unlike `std::seed_seq`
  41. // additionally salts the generated seeds with extra implementation-defined
  42. // entropy. For that reason, you can use `absl::SeedSeq` in combination with
  43. // standard library bit generators (e.g. `std::mt19937`) to introduce
  44. // non-determinism in your seeds.
  45. //
  46. // Example:
  47. //
  48. // absl::SeedSeq my_seed_seq({a, b, c});
