Nice!

Finally!

Still nice. :)

C++ standard library support is almost complete

Will that mean they've fixed their std::random_device problem?

You probably have to bug the MinGW folks about that...

Nah, I'd rather bug the GCC people. ;)

I've had the problem with std::random_device in other recent GCC versions, I haven't tried the later 8.x or 9.x versions yet.

Specifically tried the TDM-GCC versions, since they have the tool-chains for making 64-bit executables without a lot of hassle.

The GCC people have already been bugged. https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=85494
Status: ASSIGNED
Jonathan Wakely: I'll commit it to the GCC repo at some point. (fix using RtlGenRandom)

That is good news, wasn't expecting that. Though not clear if that was actually put in 9.1, sounds like it wasn't.
