Dear all,

probably alread posted a hundred times, but the follwoing code hangs on my pc:

int MakeRandomInt()
{
    const int nMin = std::numeric_limits<int>::min();
    const int nMax = std::numeric_limits<int>::max();

    typedef boost::minstd_rand   Generator;
    typedef boost::uniform_int<> Distributor;
    typedef boost::variate_generator<boost::minstd_rand, Distributor> 
VariateGenerator;

    Generator        generator(static_cast<unsigned>(time(NULL)));
    Distributor      uni_dist(nMin, nMax);
    VariateGenerator uni(generator, uni_dist);

    return uni();
}

Making the range half the size does help. Did I miss the documentation?

Wkr,
me
