Re: [Boost-users] [Random] Passing an arbitrary uniform random number generator to a function

Looks like you need some sort of type erasure (Steve's suggestion uses boost::function for that):

OK, I think I understand from your description -- thank you, and thanks to Steve as well! What I'm slightly perturbed about is that this seems a slightly complicated way to have to write code that uses an unspecified random number generator -- is there a better way to do the whole RNG thing that I'm missing? Thanks again and best wishes, -- Joe
