* BOOST_ROOT/libs/random/random-misc.html Mentions "generator_iterator" at the top, but there's nothing else about it. Does it have to be a secret that "random_number_generator" can now be accessed in its own header ("random_number_generator.hpp")? The web page still places it in "random.hpp" (which does include the previous header). I just noticed that "random.hpp" doesn't mention anything about a generator-iterator either. * BOOST_ROOT/libs/random/random-distributions.html Mentions that users that want an iterator interface should just put an adaptor over the existing generator interface. That sentence gives a link to the Iterator Adaptor library, instead of its own generator-iterator (which I guess is good in a way since it's MIA). There's a problem with this arrangement: * BOOST_ROOT/libs/iterator/doc/index.html Of its list of specialized adaptors, there's is NO generator adaptor! (There is an adaptor that goes the other way, i.e. output iterator to unary function, but we need generator to input iterator.) The sum up, it looks like the Random guys dumped their private generator adaptor for iterators, expecting the Iterator guys to replace it, but the latter guys never did. Unless the generator adaptor is hidden somewhere else, can someone add it (back). BTW, a generator would have to support a Boolean conversion where TRUE means it's still usable and FALSE means it isn't. (This is a new semantic for generators.) This would allow a reasonable way to implement the end-input-iterator. -- Daryle Walker Mac, Internet, and Video Game Junkie darylew AT hotmail DOT com
