After some debugging I realized another bug in the new version of the Boost random number library. uniform_real has the following operator():
result_type operator()(Engine& eng) { return eng() * (_max - _min) + _min; }
This does not work if the underlying engine does not give random numbers in an interval other than [0,1), and thus fails with all of the integer based engines in the Boost random library. Is it necessary to wrap the engine in a uniform_01 object? But then it would fail for the uniform_integer distributions? Either I am missing something here or the Boost random library is in an inconsistent and broken state. Could Jens or somebody else help me?
