Yes. That's expected. The code shouldn't have compiled before my changes either.

#include <boost/random.hpp>
int main(void) {
    boost::uniform_01<boost::mt19937> rng; // illegal--no default constructor
    boost::mt19937 rng;
    // ok.  Old implementation.  Copies rng.
    boost::uniform_01<boost::mt19937> dist(rng);
    double x = dist();
    // ok.  Modification of old implementation.
    // stores a reference to rng.
    boost::uniform_01<boost::mt19937&> dist(rng);
    double x = dist();
    // ok.  new implementation
    boost::uniform_01<> dist;
    double x = dist(rng);
    return 0;
}
