Throwing an exception is expected if RDRAND or RDSEED is not available. It is the reason for the try/catch block at https://github.com/weidai11/cryptopp/blob/master/validat3.cpp#L827. bool TestRDRAND() { std::cout << "\nTesting RDRAND generator...\n\n"; bool pass = true; member_ptr<RandomNumberGenerator> rng; try {rng.reset(new RDRAND);} catch (const RDRAND_Err &) {} if (rng.get()) { // Test generator } return pass; } TestRDSEED() does the same thing. The RDRAND exception is raised at https://github.com/weidai11/cryptopp/blob/master/rdrand.cpp#L102. The RDSEED exception is raised at https://github.com/weidai11/cryptopp/blob/master/rdrand.cpp#L212.
