Hi,
Does boost's date provide a random date generation?
Or somehow should I generate my own date and then pass as a parameter?
date GeneratorUtils::getRandomDate() {
    int year, month ,day;
    day = 1 + rand() % 29;
    month = 1 + rand() % 11;
    year = 1980 + rand() % 25;
    date d(year, month, day);
return d;
}
date GeneratorUtils::getRandomDate() {

return (date d(1980, 1, 1) + date_duration(rand());
}
