Re: [Boost-users] Problem with boost random library.

Joshua,

The following works fine for me on Windows 2000 with GCC. It's just your 
code turned into a complete program. That suggests the problem is with 
your test case, not your use of the RNG.

Note that this version will always produce the same output, since it 
uses a default seed. If you want to produce different random sequences, 
you'll need to seed the generator accordingly.

Kent

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

int main(int ac, char** av) {
   printf(" Die \n ");
   try {
     boost::mt19937 rng;thin air
     boost::uniform_int<> six(1,6);
     boost::variate_generator<boost::mt19937, boost::uniform_int<> >
        die(rng, six);
     int x = die();
     printf(" Die %d\n ",x);
   }
   catch(...) {
     std::cout << "exception" << std::endl;
     printf(" Die exception \n ");
   }
}
