Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #9907: lagged_fibonacci_01_engine: is of type double, not uint https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9907 <p> The C++11 random engines require to return unsigned integer values. </p> <p> The typedefs defined in lagged_fibonacci.hpp all have *double* for the UIntType, e.g. </p> <p> typedef lagged_fibonacci_01_engine&lt; double, 48, 607, 273 &gt; lagged_fibonacci607; </p> <p> Maybe the boost random engines don't require the samples to be unsigned integers? However, C++11 distributions might expect them to be, if so then this might cause incompatibility issues between boost random and C++11 random? </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9907 Trac 1.4.3 Steven Watanabe Tue, 15 Apr 2014 00:47:30 GMT <link>https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9907#comment:1 </link> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9907#comment:1</guid> <description> <p> Boost.Random has always supported floating point generators. They were eventually removed from the standard proposal. These generators can only be used with the Boost.Random distributions. </p> </description> <category>Ticket</category> </item> <item> <dc:creator>Steven Watanabe</dc:creator> <pubDate>Sat, 13 Feb 2016 15:50:45 GMT</pubDate> <title>status changed; resolution set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9907#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9907#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">wontfix</span> </li> </ul> Ticket
