#12251: Add constexpr support to random number generators
------------------------------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  Guillem Blanco <gblanco92@…>  |      Owner:  no-maintainer
     Type:  Feature Requests              |     Status:  new
Milestone:  Boost 1.62.0                  |  Component:  random
  Version:  Boost 1.61.0                  |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:  random, constexpr             |
------------------------------------------+---------------------------
 Since C++11 the Standard requires the min/max functions of a random number
 generator to be constexpr [26.5.1.3].  Annotating the min/max functions
 with BOOST_CONSTEXPR should be enough to fix this.

 Because of this defect using random number generators from boost::random
 with random number distributions from libc++ results in a compile time
 error. (Tested with libc++-3.7)
