2424	unsigned int causes error in seed() without static_cast	pjones13+boost@…	No-Maintainer	"I posted this to the boost-user mailing list and it was recommended to file a ticket here.

One must cast a variable as an unsigned int in the seed() function (even though the variable is declared as an unsigned int). Here's a minimal code segment that replicates the behavior:


{{{
boost::mt19937 rng;
unsigned int rseed = static_cast<unsigned int>(std::time(0));
rng.seed( rseed );  // This causes an error
rng.seed( static_cast<unsigned int>(rseed) ); // This works
}}}
