Hi,
Does boost's date provide a random date generation?
Or somehow should I generate my own date and then pass as a parameter?
date GeneratorUtils::getRandomDate() {
int year, month ,day;
day = 1 + rand() % 29;
month = 1 + rand() % 11;
year = 1980 + rand() % 25;
date d(year, month, day);
return d;
}
currently this is my implementation, but sometimes it returns invalid month value.
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<boost::exception_detail::error_info_injector<boost::gregorian::bad_day_of_month> >'
what(): Day of month is not valid for year
Probably because of something like 29th Feb or sth like that. I rarely saw that exception.
I could modify the code easiy but I just wanted to know that if such a functionality exists?
Thanks a lot, I've started to adore boost after uuid & date =)
