Re: [Boost-users] [random] Cauchy distribution

This code should work correctly in 1.47. In 1.46 and prior, you need to use variate_generator.

boost::variate_generator< boost::mt19937&, boost::cauchy_distribution<double> > gen(rng, cauchy);

std::cout << gen() << " ";

Ok, thank you. I had the wrong documentation. Btw. are there any factory functions for the variate_generator? Something like make_variate_generator( rng , cauchy ) which could be nicely use when filling containers with random numbers generate( x.begin() , x.end() , make_variate_generator( rng , cauchy ) );
