can random C++ 2011 standard functions be called from a C routine? -

i need generate random integer range , have found interesting discussed here in answer @walter. however, c++11 standard , need use c, there way of making call c? reproduce answer here:

#include <random>  std::random_device rd;     // used once initialise (seed) engine std::mt19937 rng(rd());    // random-number engine used (mersenne-twister in case) std::uniform_int_distribution<int> uni(min,max); // guaranteed unbiased  auto random_integer = uni(rng); 

you cannot use c++ classes in c, can wrap c++ functionality in functions, can called c, e.g. in getrandom.cxx:

#include <random>  static std::random_device rd; static std::mt19937 rng(rd()); static std::uniform_int_distribution<int> uni(min,max);  extern "c" int get_random() {     return uni(rng); } 

this c++ module exporting get_random function c linkage (that is, callable c. declare in getrandom.h:

extern "c" int get_random(); 

and can call c code.
