Hi!

In addition to Steven's remark: May be it relates to minimal example, but why do you need a member pointer here? And why don't you delete it?

I think that would be a better approach:

-----------------
random2.h
-----------------

#ifndef RANDOM_NG_H
#define RANDOM_NG_H

#include <stdint.h>
#include <boost/random.hpp>

class randomNumberGenerator
{
public:
   randomNumberGenerator( const uint32_t s );

   double operator()() { return ran_boost(); }

private:
   boost::mt19937 rng_mt_boost_;
   boost::uniform_01<boost::mt19937&, double> ran_boost_;
};

extern randomNumberGenerator ran2;

#endif

-----------------
random2.cpp
-----------------

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/random.hpp>

#include "random2.h"

randomNumberGenerator ran2;

randomNumberGenerator::randomNumberGenerator( const uint32_t s )
: rng_mt_boost_()
, ran_boost_(rng_mt_boost_)
{
rng_mt_boost_.seed( s );
std::cout << ran_boost_() << std::endl;
}

You're creating a local variable here, not initializing the
