Given that the code compiles with the latests versions of the compiler, the following (from http://tinyurl.com/58lll) is most likely to be a compiler bug, but since the test used to pass some time ago, I was wondering if anyone is interested in making it work again or simply commenting on it before I mark it green: /boost/head-regression/boost/boost/random/xor_combine.hpp: In method `uint32_t boost::random::xor_combine<boost::random::linear_feedback_shift<unsigned int,32,31,13,12,0>,0,boost::random::linear_feedback_shift<unsigned int,32,29,2,4,0>,0,0>::min() const': /boost/head-regression/boost/boost/random/xor_combine.hpp:74: instantiated from `boost::random::xor_combine<boost::random::xor_combine<boost::random::linear_feedback_shift<unsigned int,32,31,13,12,0>,0,boost::random::linear_feedback_shift<unsigned int,32,29,2,4,0>,0,0>,0,boost::random::linear_feedback_shift<unsigned int,32,28,3,17,0>,0,0>::min() const' /boost/head-regression/boost/libs/random/random_test.cpp:251: instantiated from `instantiate_urng<boost::taus88, unsigned int>(const basic_string<char,string_char_traits<char>,__default_alloc_template<true,0> > &, const boost::taus88 &, const unsigned int &)' /boost/head-regression/boost/libs/random/random_test.cpp:377: instantiated from here ...
