Comment (by anonymous):

 Thank you for pointing it out. I should have read the variate_generator
 template description more carefully.

 Replying to [comment:1 steven_watanabe]:
 > The problem is that a variate_generator containing a reference is not
 Assignable.  In C++03, the element type of a container must be Assignable
 (23.1).  Use a pointer instead:

 > variate_generator<mt19937*, uniform_real<> >
 > }}}

 > Note: The requirement of assignment is relaxed in C++11.
