13247,"test_independent_bits32 fails unit test in release mode only at -O2 and higher under clang 3.8, 3.9, 4.0, 5.0","James E. King, III",Steven Watanabe,"I'm working on adding CI support to Boost.Random and I found that the clang build jobs are failing on this test as follows.  To reproduce, use Boost.Random from the test directory with ubuntu zesty and clang 4.0:

{{{
passes:
../../../b2 toolset=clang variant=release test_independent_bits32 clean
../../../b2 toolset=clang variant=release cxxflags=""-O0"" test_independent_bits32

passes:
../../../b2 toolset=clang variant=release test_independent_bits32 clean
../../../b2 toolset=clang variant=release cxxflags=""-O1"" test_independent_bits32

fails:
../../../b2 toolset=clang variant=release test_independent_bits32 clean
../../../b2 toolset=clang variant=release cxxflags=""-O2"" test_independent_bits32
}}}

No versions of gcc at any optimization level seem to fail and ubsan testing also does not fail (but it is a debug build) so this needs further investigation to understand if it is a clang optimizer bug that's been around for a while or if the test is wrong for clang somehow.
