I tried:

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

int
main()
{

    boost::random::taus88 rng { [ ] ( ) { boost::random::random_device
rdev; return ( static_cast<std::uint64_t> ( rdev ( ) ) << 32 ) | rdev ( );
} ( ) };

    boost::random::uniform_int_distribution<std::int32_t> dist { 0, 100 };

    std::cout << dist ( rng ) << '\n';

    return 0;
}

I must have a stray then (I'm trying to test the auto-linking and it works,
while it shouldn't), now I have an anchor point, I'll take it from here.

Thanks Steven,
